You're not Catholic and you took communion?
Yeah, is that wrong?
If my God wins, you're screwed.

[to Pembleton] Where the hell was God when this woman needed Him? Why doesn't Mr. God protect people like Katharine Goodrich or Adena Watson?
The Jesuits taught me how to think - I haven't felt safe since.
Alright, John. I got a couple of questions for you and I want you to answer absolutely and honestly.
Of course.
Question #1. Have you ever been arrested for a felony or a misdemeanor?
No. Next.
C'mon John. Think back. Think way back to the hazy days of the summer of love. Your callow youth.
Oh, yeah. -- No.
John, this is very important, ok? The liquor board gets the report from the state police, so if you have any demons in your closet, now is the time to set them free.
Are you implying that in my college years I was engaged in activities of a criminal nature?
Yes. Everybody knows you were a major pothead. C'mon, man. I don't care if you smoked the stuff, I don't even care if you sold it. What I need to know is, were you ever caught?
Never.
Okay. Great.
Can I go now?
I have a few more questions for you.
Can I have an attorney present?
With God on our side, who can stand against us?
This is just a stupid formality. We gotta go all the way down there just so some bureacrat, some puny bureacrat who's overfed and probably got bad skin, so he can feel important?
Don't open your mouth.
Me? Open my mouth?
No, no. Promise me. I gotta hear it from you. Say, I'll be good.
I promise I'll be good.
Oh, and there's one other thing. Don't wear that tie with the little bhuddas on it. It's ugly.
And what's wrong with that tie?
I wouldn't give directions to a guy wearing a tie like that.
Well, guess what? That just happens to be my lucky tie. I love that tie. Felicia gave me that tie.
Well, there you go. I rest my case.
LCLiquor Commissioner
The other guy should be here.
But we don't have to reschedule. I called ahead.
LCLiquor Commissioner
But it seems we have a little problem here.
No, we don't. What you have there is everything. Signed, sealed and delivered.
LCLiquor Commissioner
Your pal has a conviction. Misdemeanor gambling from '84.
I don't... Wouldn't I remember that?
LCLiquor Commissioner
It's this other guy, Bayliss.
Damn Him!
The killer?
God.
Frank, I don't think you can ask God to damn Himself. And if you do, don't stand next to me because I don't want to get hit by lightning, this is a new suit.
She has Multiple Personality Disorder. That helps her, not me.
I got it! Why don't we charge one of the personalities with harboring a fugitive?

I know that Katherine Goodrich would have, with her dying breath, forgiven her attacker.
What about the others? Who speaks for them? What right do any of us have to forgive in their name?
[to the nun] I don't pray anymore. I used to. I used to pray for answers. A clue, a sign of what I should do, how to find something precious in this life. There was a time when I thought it was my job. But is it? Nothing in this world changes because of what I do. The hurt goes on and on. God has… God has given up on us. He doesn't hear us any more, sister.
I don't believe you have MPD. But I don't care if you really do or don't. I also don't care how many personalities you may or may not have. Because of you there are eight personalities who will never speak again. You had no right to kill them. Especially in God's name. And I gotta believe, even if you walk outta here scot free, God is gonna make you pay one way or another.
[Pembleton leaves room.]

I'm sure he will.
LYLennox Young
My brother got shot.
But all you heard was a bang?
LYLennox Young
I got ears like a dog.
And you've been using us like fire hydrants.
Romper, stomper, bomper, blue. I see Jimmy and Julie. Except she never saw me. I spent years in front of that friggin' tube and she never once saw Beau in the magic mirror. That BITCH!
But what if they make me take a test? I can't take tests. I always clutch. What if I take it and fail and all our dreams come crashing down?
Well, then it's simple. Meldrick and I will harm you.
