Zeke: Yes, Pappy, I see him and I hear him. The Lord has done shown me the light. The Lord has shown the truth of his creation. I lay my brother down in the ground. But, the ground can't hold my brother. No, Pappy, the ground can't hold him. For the Lord is stronger than the ground. But the Lord is the ground. The Lord is the sky and the heavens and the moon and the sun. The Lord is the earth and all the living things on earth. The Lord in his kingdom. Ain't no pain. Ain't no more sorrow. And there ain't no more death. So, why wail and grieve?

And I'm gonna give all you sinners your last chance. But, remember, they ain't no round-trip ticket to hell. All aboard...

Missy Rose: What's we want to do, big brother?
Zeke: I don't know what we gonna do. Unlessin'...
Missy Rose: Unless what, Zeke?
Zeke: Missy Rose, supposin' you and me, em, let's you and me get married at the next station. That'll stop him quicker than anything!
