Preacher
All S1

S1 E15Unfinished Business

We were lied to. All along lies.

JCJohn Custer

Odin, you have experienced a terrible loss. Your entire family gone. Let God help you.

Oh, yeah. Good. You and God can help me with a question, something that's been consternating me all night. [holding up two sets of intestines] Which is my daughter [Voice breaking] and which is the cow? Exactly. There is no difference. It's all meat! I've looked. There's nothing else. There's no spirit. There's no soul. There's nothing.

JCJohn Custer

Odin -

You need to let the people know. You need to stand in that church and you need to, t-to denounce Him. You need to shout. You need to scream. You need to spread the word. Okay, Preacher? You need to denounce Him!

Now, just so everyone understands, this is gonna be a night assault over open ground against an expert marksman in an elevated position, so you know drink lots of water. Lighten up, boys. I was joking. Water ain't gonna make a damn bit of difference.

Regardless of the state of Custer's mental faculties, taking church land? With all due respect, that church is holy ground.

No, Sheriff. That church is nothing more than wood and paint of bits of colored glass. It's a lie, and I'm going to tear it down peg by peg. Grind it into dust. "Holy ground," my ass.

Now, I don't want you to feel like you're human shields, but let's not mince words. You are human, and you're gonna be acting as shields of a sort.

The more active targets we can offer the preacher, the more likely we are to overwhelm him with our faceless wave of humanity. Again, to clarify, I don't say "faceless" in the pejorative sense, so much as a practical sense, as it will be night and your faces will be indistinct and immaterial.

I just don't understand what happened. I told you to serve God, Odin.

I am devoutly.

What kind of God wants to tear down a church?

The God of Meat, of course.

The God of Meat?

The God of what's tangible what's touchable and true. God of Meat.

[Laughing] I see. I see.

You think that's funny?

No, no. It's batshit crazy.

You know what's crazy, Preacher? What's completely banana balls insane? Following a God who is silent. That is crazy.

You left a telephone with a direct line to heaven's throne under the bed?

I thought it was clever. Who checks under a bed anymore?

CThe Cowboy

I love my horse. I love my wife. And I love my little girl. And as for Jesus... he can join us all in hell.

Why don't we just call heaven instead? We confess, tell them everything, and throw ourselves on their mercy.

We discussed that. They'd separate us forever. Still, we wouldn't be going to hell, also.

I sort of lost my head there a bit. Crime of passion.

Judging from this, you're a very passionate man, Mr. Cassidy.
