Spellman is up on the lectern - played by Ed Begley - telling about giving to the people and loving. Love, Christian Love, that is nothing but forgiveness and no hostility. Bishop Sheen - played by Hugh Herbert - spots Christ and Moses standing in the back arguing back and forth, and runs up to Spellman on the lectern:
SHEEN [whispers]: Pssst! Spellman! C'mon down here, I gotta talk to you! They're here!
SPELLMAN [whispering]: Get back to the blackboard, durn dum, and stop bugging me.
SHEEN: Dum-dum your ass! You better get down here. O.K. Put the choir on for ten minutes.
SPELlMAN: Hey, putzo, whaddaya mean, running up in the middle of a bit like that?
SHEEN: Oh, it's terrible terrible terrible. They're here! They're here! Ohhh, owwwww! They're here they're here! they're really here!
SPELLMAN: Who's here?
SHEEN : Who's here? I'm here, you're here.
SPELLMAN: You're not all there.
SHEEN : Hoo-hoo! It's here, it's here.
SPELLMAN: Who's here?
SHEEN: You better sit down, you're gonna faint. Ready for a shocker? Christ and Moses, schmuck, that's who's here.
SPELLMAN: Oh bullshit! Are you putting me on, now Where?
SHEEN: They're standing in the back - don't look now, you idiot! They can see us.
SPELLMAN: Which ones are they?
SHEEN: The ones that're glowing. Hoo! Glowing! Terrible.
SPELLMAN: Are you sure it's them?
SHEEN: I've just seen `em in pictures, but I'm pretty sure - Moses is a ringer for Charlton Heston.
SPELLMAN: Are they armed?
SHEEN: I dunno.
SPELLMAN: Poor box locked?
SHEEN: Yeah. I'll grab the box and meet you round the back!
SPELLMAN: No, we better just cool it. You better get me Rome, quickly. Now what the hell do they want here?
SHEEN: Maybe they want to audit the books?
SPELLMAN: No, I don't think so. Well, we're in for it now, Goddamnit! Did Christ bring the family with him? What's the mother's name?.. Hurry up with Rome!.. .11 we just cool it, maybe we can talk to them.... Don't tell anyone they're here.. Oh, shit! Who copped out they're here?
SHEEN: Why?
SPELLMAN: Why? Schmuck, look at the front door!
SHEEN: What's the matter?
SPELLMAN: What's the matter? Put:! Here come the lepers!
SHEEN: Where the hell do they live around here? Oh, Christ!
SPELLMAN: Phew! Alright. Get me Rome. Hurry up....
[cheerful loud voice] Hello, lepers! How are you? Hello lepers, hello lepers. [sings] Hello, young lepers wherever you are... Howareya? Look, ah, nuttin personal, but, ah, don't touch anything, O.K.? Heh heh. That's right. No offense, but, what the hell, you can pick up anything - you might get something from us! Heh heh. Right? So, ah, why don't you all get outside and get some air? O.K.? Pick up your nose, your foot and your arm, and split. That's right.. Now look, whatta you doing? You waiting for St. Francis? Look, I'm gonna level with you right now - that's a bullshit story. He never kissed any lepers. He just danced with two merchant marines and we kicked him the hell outta the parish. That's all. What the hell you wanna kiss a leper for? Put yourself in our place. Would you kiss a leper? What the hell are ya gonna get outta that? Awright? That's a lotta bullshit - you try to kiss `em and they fall apart. Kissing lepers - you know how Ben Hur's mother and sister got leprosy, don't ya? They didn't put paper on the seats, that's all. Now come on, haul ass! Can't you be nice, you people? Just get the hell outta here!
