Quotes2

  • Lulu Bains: Oh, he gave me special instructions back of the pulpit Christmas Eve. He got to howlin' "Repent! Repent!" and I got to moanin' "Save me! Save me!" and the first thing I know he rammed the fear of God into me so fast I never heard my old man's footsteps!
  • Elmer Gantry: I did run out on you back there in Kansas, didn't I?
  • Lulu Bains: It's nobody's fault. Except maybe my old man's.
  • Elmer Gantry: Ever hear from him?
  • Lulu Bains: Once, last Christmas. The letter said "Daughter, read 1st Kings, Chapter 21 Verse 23." I looked it up. It said "And the dogs in the street shall eat Jezebel." My old man and his Bible.
