Rachel Brown: [addressing the court about the Stebbeins boy] He went swimming in the river with the other boys, he got a cramp and drowned. At the funeral, my father said that Tommy's soul couldn't pass on to Heaven.
Bertram T. Cates: Tell them what your father really said, that Tommy's soul was damned and burning in hellfire! Religion is supposed to comfort people, not scare them to death!


--Dick York (as Bertram T. Cates) in Inherit the Wind

Bertram T. Cates: [to Rachel] It's your father's church or our house, you can't live in both.
