Karl Swenson: Rev. Hoskins
Quotes
-
Rev. Hoskins : Ah, the temptations of the flesh. I fought 'em my whole life through.
Prisoner : Then how come you're in here
[jail]
Prisoner : , Reverend?
Rev. Hoskins : Well, I said I fought 'em, I didn't say I fought 'em off. Sometimes I lost. But believe me, it takes a lot more to tempt a preacher than it does you stumblebums in here. When I lost, I lost big!
Prisoner : Are you a real preacher, Reverend?
Rev. Hoskins : Well now, let's look at it this way. I always had the urge to preach. And if you got the urge, you're halfway home.
Prisoner : What kept you from getting all the way?
Rev. Hoskins : My temptation was women.
