Memorable Scenes
Scene One: This Gun of the Hand
|
Eli Lapp
This gun of the hand is for the taking of human life. We believe it is
wrong to take life, that is only for God. Many times wars have come and
people have said "You must fight, you must kill, it is the only way to
preserve the good." But Sammuel, there is never only one way, remember
that. Would you kill another man?
Sammuel
I would only kill a bad man.
Eli Lapp
Only the bad man, I see, and you know this bad man by sight? You are able
to look into their hearts and see this badness?
Sammuel
I can see what they do, I have seen it.
Eli Lapp
And having seen, you become one of them. Don't you understand? What you
take into your hands, you take into your heart... |

Scene Two: Bee Sting
|
Amish Man
Jacob was a good farmer. None better.
2nd Amish
But not the man to buy a horse for you. Hochleifner, wasn't it your father
sold him that horse with a ruptured testicle? Told him it was a bee sting
made him limp that way.
Hochleitner
That horse had one good ball. That's all it takes. |
