Quotes 

• Nick Beal : The last time I was here was quite exciting. City was on fire. Picked up quite a lot of recruits that night. Made quite a transportation problem.

• Rev. Thomas Garfield : Oh, Mr. Beal. I've been trying to place your face for over a month now.

  Nick Beal : Maybe you'd better give up.

  Rev. Thomas Garfield : Did anyone ever paint your portrait?

  Nick Beal : Yes. Yes, Rembrandt in 1655.

• Bum : Yes brethren, every word is true. I've walked in the darkness, glory be. I've wrestled the Devil and thrown him. I've pinned his shoulders to the mat. Yes, I've pinned his shoulders to the mat.

  Nick Beal : I wonder if he knows it's two falls out of three?

• Rev. Thomas Garfield : We have an old-fashioned custom here, Mr. Beal. Every afternoon at the end of the day, someone reads the boys a passage from the Bible. And whenever it's possible, we try to have someone different read. It makes them realize that the Bible belongs to us all. Would you like to read?

  Nick Beal : Me? What do I know about things like that?

  Rev. Thomas Garfield : That doesn't matter. I've marked the passage. It's one of the psalms of David.

  Nick Beal : No. It's your book. Read it yourself.

  Rev. Thomas Garfield : All right. The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof, the world, and they that dwell therein, for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the floods. Who shall ascend unto the hill of the Lord, or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands and a pure heart, who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face. Amen.
