Quote context

[...]

- I've only added to your worries, haven't I?

- I know I must be very selfish. I couldn't think of facing the world without you.

- What are you thinkin', Davy?

- I'm not thinkin'. I'm just rememberin'.

- Well, I sure done a heap of things I shouldn't have done. Seemed urgent at the moment. Got myself a heap of sins to answer for. Wish I hadn't did 'em.

- I reckon old Saint Pete's gonna slam them Pearly Gates right smack-dab in my face.

- You mean you don't believe in no afterlife, no hereafter?

- Tales for children. Bunkum and bosh.

- I say this. I believe. I can never find a way to argue down you that don't believe, but I believe in the Lord God Almighty, all knowing and all forgiving.

- And I believe that good shall be triumphant in the end and that evil shall be vanquished.

- I believe in a hereafter.

- Me, too. I figure a man's got to believe in those things, does he want to believe in the good things about man. About his very own self. The real good things. Like courage and honesty And love.
