1. so I told that state trooper:
Copy !req
2. "ignorance of the lord
is no excuse either."
Copy !req
3. ?
Copy !req
4. well, that was quick.
Copy !req
5. Yeah, well, the winston cup's
on at noon
Copy !req
6. and rev. Thomasson
always wraps it up
Copy !req
7. in plenty of time.
Copy !req
8. And now, friends,
I'm sad to say
Copy !req
9. that I've decided to retir
e from arlen first methodist
Copy !req
10. retire? The man
works half a day a week.
Copy !req
11. After much reflection
and soul-searching,
Copy !req
12. I've decided
Copy !req
13. that the future of god
is on the internet.
Copy !req
14. to every online soul
in the world
Copy !req
15. unless you have a.o.l.
Copy !req
16. I'll be hosting a potluck dinner
on saturday
Copy !req
17. to welcome
your new minister...
Copy !req
18. The new guy
had better like sports.
Copy !req
19. Rev. Karen stroup.
Copy !req
20. a woman.
Copy !req
21. So, it's up
and running.
Copy !req
22. The secret lab
in the basement
Copy !req
23. of the harvard
divinity school
Copy !req
24. where they ordain
women surgically.
Copy !req
25. The pebble beach celebrity golf pro-am
is this sunday.
Copy !req
26. If this gal's
sermon runs late,
Copy !req
27. you know how women
like to talk,
Copy !req
28. we're gonna miss
matt lauer's opening drive.
Copy !req
29. You know what I think?
I think god sent
Copy !req
30. a female minister
here to punish me.
Copy !req
31. First single gal
to move to arlen in years,
Copy !req
32. and she's forbidden to marry.
Copy !req
33. Uh, bill,
ministers can marry.
Copy !req
34. oh!
Copy !req
35. thank you, god.
Copy !req
36. Wait till cotton finds out
about this female man of god.
Copy !req
37. I almost hesitate
to fax it to him.
Copy !req
38. That's not
gonna happen, dale
Copy !req
39. I told you to stop
sending my dad the gribble report
Copy !req
40. you tell me
a lot of things, hank,
Copy !req
41. most of which
I publish.
Copy !req
42. Now, bobby, honey,
let's try to make
Copy !req
43. rev. Stroup feel
very welcome, ok?
Copy !req
44. Some people,
they just cannot accept
Copy !req
45. women in positions
of real authority.
Copy !req
46. I remember my first day
Copy !req
47. as a 4th-grade
substitute teacher.
Copy !req
48. look! There she is!
Copy !req
49. I'm a successful
tire distributor.
Copy !req
50. Back me up.
Copy !req
51. ?
Copy !req
52. hello, reverend.
Copy !req
53. I am peggy hill,
Copy !req
54. and this is peggy hill's
frito pie.
Copy !req
55. It is a traditional
texas recipe
Copy !req
56. that I found
on a bag of fritos.
Copy !req
57. Well, peggy hill.
Copy !req
58. Peggy hill, peggy hill, peggy hill
, good.
Copy !req
59. You are in
for a real treat.
Copy !req
60. I've prepared a little taste of minnesot
a called lutefisk.
Copy !req
61. It's a scandinavia
n delicacy
Copy !req
62. made by baking codfish
in a solution of lye
Copy !req
63. until the bones
become gelatinous.
Copy !req
64. oh, what?
Ok, honey,
Copy !req
65. we'll—we'll—we'll be
right there.
Copy !req
66. Oh, my husband is dying
to meet you.
Copy !req
67. hank hill, hank hill,
hank hill. Good.
Copy !req
68. So, your first sermon
tomorrow.
Copy !req
69. heh,
You nervous?
Copy !req
70. Yeah, a little.
Copy !req
71. Me, too. You see, the pebble beach
pro-am is on at 1:30,
Copy !req
72. and my v.c.r.
Doesn't always work.
Copy !req
73. Oh, that could be
a problem.
Copy !req
74. The quarterback challenge
is on at 1:15.
Copy !req
75. Don't wanna Miss that.
Copy !req
76. You're a football fan?
Copy !req
77. Let's just say between god
and the vikings,
Copy !req
78. sunday's not my day
of rest.
Copy !req
79. well, you might be
all right.
Copy !req
80. seriously, though, how are you fixed
for propane?
Copy !req
81. this stuff stinks.
Copy !req
82. when I found out
Copy !req
83. I'd been assigned
to a church in texas,
Copy !req
84. I was a little worried.
Copy !req
85. A lot of female ministers
Copy !req
86. don't last too long
down here.
Copy !req
87. Yeah, it gets pretty hot
in the summer.
Copy !req
88. Hank, let me
ask you something.
Copy !req
89. Do you like fish?
Copy !req
90. Only catching 'em, gutting 'em,
and eating 'em.
Copy !req
91. just a taste, hank.
Copy !req
92. I want everyone in the congregation
to have some lutefisk
Copy !req
93. and I only made
enough for 30.
Copy !req
94. My lutefisk!
Where—where's my lutefisk?
Copy !req
95. I put it right here between the frito pie
and the frito pie.
Copy !req
96. Has anyone seen it?
Copy !req
97. maybe you put it
on the dessert table
Copy !req
98. next to my lemon bars.
Copy !req
99. well, it's not here.
Copy !req
100. Can everyone
help me look?
Copy !req
101. I found it!
Copy !req
102. Did anyone get
to try some?
Copy !req
103. Someone just threw it out?
Copy !req
104. That's right.I found it
in the trash.
Copy !req
105. Oh, poor rev. Stroup, huh?
Copy !req
106. Just seeing
how much people enjoyed
my frito pie
Copy !req
107. must have, well, must have been salt
in her wounds.
Copy !req
108. It's sort of an odd way
to attack a gal,
Copy !req
109. to throw out
her favorite fish.
Copy !req
110. Mmm-hmm.
Copy !req
111. But I doubt that
there is anything
Copy !req
112. that could have
hurt that woman more.
Copy !req
113. let's go.
If we get to church late,
Copy !req
114. we'll have to park
in the dirt lot.
Copy !req
115. I met y'all last night.
Copy !req
116. I know you are good people,
decent people.
Copy !req
117. I'm not going to judge
the whole town
Copy !req
118. based on the sins
of one lost soul.
Copy !req
119. I'm not even going to judg
e that one person
Copy !req
120. because I still
don't know who it is.
Copy !req
121. well, it was worth a shot.
Copy !req
122. Please open
your bibles to mark 6:41.
Copy !req
123. "and the 2 fishes
Copy !req
124. "divided he among them all
Copy !req
125. "and they did all eat,
and were filled.
Copy !req
126. "and they took up
12 baskets
Copy !req
127. full of the fragments,
and of the fishes."
Copy !req
128. Mom, I left a shoe
in the car.
Copy !req
129. Be right back.
Copy !req
130. let us pray.
Copy !req
131. ?
Copy !req
132. what did I miss?
Did she dance yet?
Copy !req
133. How did he find out about this?
Copy !req
134. psst, colonel,I saved you a seat
Copy !req
135. here is another
minnesota tradition
Copy !req
136. that's not so easy
to throw in the garbage.
Copy !req
137. Let's everyone rise
Copy !req
138. and hug the person
next to you.
Copy !req
139. leave it to a woman
Copy !req
140. to turn god's house
into a love shack.
Copy !req
141. Permission to hug you,
colonel?
Copy !req
142. Denied!
Go hug your wife.
Copy !req
143. I can't.
Copy !req
144. She's hugging
the person next to her
Copy !req
145. looks like you nee
d someone to hug.
Copy !req
146. Looks like you need
to read your bible.
Copy !req
147. And I quote,"women should remain silent
in the churches.
Copy !req
148. "they are not allowed
to speak,
Copy !req
149. but must be in submission."
Corinthians.
Copy !req
150. Yes, but in the book of—
Copy !req
151. Billy graham, man,
Copy !req
152. jimmy swaggart,
man, karen stroup—
Copy !req
153. !
enough
Copy !req
154. if you hurt this woman
, this single woman,
Copy !req
155. and you take
her away from me,
Copy !req
156. I promise I will
strike you down.
Copy !req
157. I made my point.
Copy !req
158. If you need me,
Copy !req
159. I'll be in the one part
of this church
Copy !req
160. that's still men's only.
Copy !req
161. I'm sorry.
I ate all the lutefisk
Copy !req
162. why did you have
to taste so good?
Copy !req
163. why?
Copy !req
164. mercy! Mister,
what did you eat?
Copy !req
165. ah, forget it.
Copy !req
166. I'll take my business
elsewhere.
Copy !req
167. (man)
hello.
Copy !req
168. Hello.
Copy !req
169. Is anyone in there?
Copy !req
170. Hello.
Copy !req
171. ?
Are you ok
Copy !req
172. oh.
Copy !req
173. ?
Copy !req
174. what's that smell?
Copy !req
175. Nothing.
Copy !req
176. Wait a minute.
I know that smell.
Copy !req
177. fire!
Copy !req
178. oh, god! Oh, god!
Copy !req
179. Please don't let it be
the propane tanks.
Copy !req
180. I just spoke to
the arson investigator.
Copy !req
181. His investigation
points to arson!
Copy !req
182. someone did this
Copy !req
183. because they don't want
a woman minister.
Copy !req
184. To him I say:
Copy !req
185. "you can burn
down our church,
Copy !req
186. "but you cannot
burn down our faith.
Copy !req
187. "our faith is
the kind of stuff that
Copy !req
188. children's pajamas
should be made of."
Copy !req
189. why would someone want
Copy !req
190. to burn down our church?
Copy !req
191. Honey, they weren't trying to burn down our church.
Copy !req
192. They were trying
to kill rev. Stroup.
Copy !req
193. The fire started in a garbage can
in the men's room.
Copy !req
194. and I read in the paper
that the flames were so hot,
Copy !req
195. they literally burned the very wood
the church was made of.
Copy !req
196. Bobby,
you haven't even touched
your arroz con chicken.
Copy !req
197. I'm not eating
ever again.
Copy !req
198. I don't blame you.
Copy !req
199. I ate bugs in the war
tasted better than this.
Copy !req
200. actually, cotton,
Copy !req
201. I think he's upset about what happened to the church.
Copy !req
202. It burnt down.
Copy !req
203. I feel so bad.
Copy !req
204. it's not your fault,
honey.
Copy !req
205. Whoever committed
this hate crime
Copy !req
206. is the one who should starve himself
to death, not you.
Copy !req
207. oh.
Copy !req
208. our sweet, sweet little,
sensitive little boy.
Copy !req
209. He feels everything so deeply,
Copy !req
210. like a poet.
Copy !req
211. A cowboy poet.
Copy !req
212. It is with a heavy heart
that I welcome you
Copy !req
213. to this interfaith
prayer service.
Copy !req
214. protestant and catholic,
jew and buddhist,
Copy !req
215. man and woman,
Copy !req
216. we are all brought
together today by hate.
Copy !req
217. Oh, I hate hate.
Copy !req
218. Hate that throws out
my lutefisk.
Copy !req
219. Hate that burns down
our church.
Copy !req
220. Hate that makes an innocent little boy
stop eating.
Copy !req
221. That's right.
Copy !req
222. Would bobby hill please come up
to the microphone?
Copy !req
223. Go on, honey.
It'll be ok.
Copy !req
224. Psst. Minh, minh.
Copy !req
225. ]
[makes clicking noises
Copy !req
226. bobby, the strength
of your devotion
Copy !req
227. is an inspiration
to us all.
Copy !req
228. That's why I want you
to be the first to know
Copy !req
229. the police have found
the matchbook
Copy !req
230. that started the fire
Copy !req
231. and are closing
in on the arsonist
Copy !req
232. bobby!
Copy !req
233. (man)
what happened
to that boy?
Copy !req
234. For the sake of this poor,
tortured soul,
Copy !req
235. please help us
find the man
Copy !req
236. responsible
for this hate crime.
Copy !req
237. If you know anyone
who might carry
Copy !req
238. a matchbook from a strip club
in houston,
Copy !req
239. tell the police.
Copy !req
240. The matchbook came from a strip club
in houston.
Copy !req
241. A strip club in houston, hank.
A strip—
Copy !req
242. My father did not
burn down the church.
Copy !req
243. Lots of guys go to strip clubs
in houston.
Copy !req
244. Oh, and also go
to church in arlen
Copy !req
245. where they harass
female ministers?
Copy !req
246. Then announce they're goin
g to the men's room
Copy !req
247. where a fire is started with matches
from a strip club
Copy !req
248. in houston?
Copy !req
249. gribble! Gribble!
Copy !req
250. You gotta help me.
Copy !req
251. They found my girly
bar matches.
Copy !req
252. It's only a matter of time
Copy !req
253. before they accuse me
of church-burnery.
Copy !req
254. Colonel,I would be honored
Copy !req
255. if you used my phone
to claim responsibility.
Copy !req
256. But I didn't do it,
you idiot.
Copy !req
257. The evidence
suggests otherwise.
Copy !req
258. They've got your matchbook
Copy !req
259. and it won't be long
before I turn you in.
Copy !req
260. ok. Here's how
it went down.
Copy !req
261. I tried to go
to the latrine,
Copy !req
262. but there was already
a man in there.
Copy !req
263. I lit one match
in self-defense,
Copy !req
264. and then beat
a hasty retreat.
Copy !req
265. The smelly man must have set the fire
after I left.
Copy !req
266. Find the man
with the terrible smell,
Copy !req
267. and you'll have
your arsonist.
Copy !req
268. Sir, your only hope
is to make a run for it.
Copy !req
269. wake up, hank.
Copy !req
270. going somewhere?
Copy !req
271. Now, why don't you
just turn around,
Copy !req
272. go back to bed,
and no one gets hurt.
Copy !req
273. quick! You got
s to hide me!
Copy !req
274. we know
you're in there.
Copy !req
275. Come out
with your hands up.
Copy !req
276. cotton hill, you're under arrest for arson.
Copy !req
277. You got the wrong man.
Copy !req
278. Let me down!
Copy !req
279. Mom, he didn't start
the fire.
Copy !req
280. He couldn't have.
Copy !req
281. Bobby!
Copy !req
282. Grandpa!
Copy !req
283. I didn't do it.
Copy !req
284. I believe you.
Copy !req
285. It was
somebody else.
Copy !req
286. I know.
Copy !req
287. Look for the man
with the terrible smell.
Copy !req
288. He's the one you want.
Copy !req
289. You hear me? The man with
the terrible smell.
Copy !req
290. I'll Miss you.
Copy !req
291. ok, show's over.
Nothing to see here.
Copy !req
292. Everyone go home.
Copy !req
293. it's a circus
out there.
Copy !req
294. By now,
it's all over town
Copy !req
295. my dad is an arsonist.
Copy !req
296. Well, I don't know
why you're
so surprised.
Copy !req
297. I have always said that man is
capable of anything.
Copy !req
298. Before, people
used to look away
Copy !req
299. or pretend not to hear me.
Copy !req
300. But now, they will all have
to nod in agreement.
Copy !req
301. Yes, they will.
Copy !req
302. Even if grandp
a did do it,
Copy !req
303. it doesn't mean
he's a bad person.
Copy !req
304. Bobby,I've always stood
by my dad,
Copy !req
305. no matter what.
Copy !req
306. And there's been a lot of what
over the years.
Copy !req
307. But burning down
a church,
Copy !req
308. I just don't know.
Copy !req
309. But he's still your father,
Copy !req
310. no matter what, right?
Copy !req
311. well, I know you can disown
a child.
Copy !req
312. There must be something
like that for a parent.
Copy !req
313. I'd like a one-way ticket to mexico,
por favor.
Copy !req
314. That means today.
Copy !req
315. bobby?
Copy !req
316. Grandma didi?
Copy !req
317. Oh, bobby,
Copy !req
318. I just came in from houston.
Copy !req
319. Cotton is in jail.
Copy !req
320. I know. Are you here
to bail him out?
Copy !req
321. There's no bail.
Copy !req
322. He's burned down
a church.
Copy !req
323. Now our baby is going to grow u
p without a father.
Copy !req
324. Not your and my baby,
cotton's and my baby.
Copy !req
325. I feel so bad.
It was an accident.
Copy !req
326. I know it was an accident.
Copy !req
327. Why can't they
just leave him alone
Copy !req
328. and forget about it?
Copy !req
329. This baby
was an accident, too,
Copy !req
330. but if I forgot about it,
Copy !req
331. it would never
get born.
Copy !req
332. I think you have to be responsible
for your accidents
Copy !req
333. cotton thinks so, too.
Copy !req
334. At least he stopped
saying he didn't.
Copy !req
335. Really?
Copy !req
336. He said if the baby turned out
as good as you, bobby,
Copy !req
337. then he will
not abandon it
Copy !req
338. cotton, you have got to confess.
Copy !req
339. You will feel better,
and I will feel better
Copy !req
340. they're offering you
a good deal.
Copy !req
341. Cop to the hate crime,
Copy !req
342. and they'll drop the 123 counts
of attempted murder.
Copy !req
343. No deals!
Copy !req
344. I'm not taking a fall
for the smelly man.
Copy !req
345. Dang it, dad! There is no
smelly man. Now—
Copy !req
346. Now you listen to me.
Copy !req
347. I spent 2 weeks
on iwo jima
Copy !req
348. buried under
a pile of bodies.
Copy !req
349. The things I smelled,
you can't even imagine.
Copy !req
350. I'll never forget
Copy !req
351. what I smelled
that day in the church.
Copy !req
352. It was a vengeful stink.
Copy !req
353. It was a stink
for the ages.
Copy !req
354. I will tell you
what stinks, old man.
Copy !req
355. Your story stinks.
Copy !req
356. grandpa, dad, mom.
Copy !req
357. it was—
Copy !req
358. It was me!
Copy !req
359. It's all my fault.
Copy !req

in the bathroom.
Copy !req
362. I lit the matches.
Copy !req
363. I burned down
the church.
Copy !req

the terrible smell

367. oh!
Copy !req
368. I knew it.
Copy !req
369. I knew this was
too good to be true.
Copy !req
370. Bobby, you are going
to march down that hall
Copy !req
371. and tell the police
everything.
Copy !req
372. See if maybe they will spare
your grandfather's life.
Copy !req
373. ok.
Copy !req
374. Nobody's going no place.
Copy !req
375. Sit down, hank
, hank's wife.
Copy !req

so good, does it?
Copy !req
382. Well, get used to it.

to the police.
Copy !req
385. Stinky!
Copy !req
386. He's right.
Oh, lord!
Copy !req
387. And there are
other names, too.
Copy !req
388. Yeah.

390. in state of texas v.
