Gilbert Archer:
Is this where you hold your Wednesday night prayer meetings?
Matthew Stoker: Oh no, Mr. Archer. On Wednesday nights, I preach at the mission. Gilbert Archer: That I'd like to see. Good evening, Mrs. Stoker. Mrs. Stoker: It's so nice of you to call, Mr. Archer. Gilbert Archer: Well, Mr. Bradford. Now isn't this comfy? Rev. George Bradford: You don't seem very surprised to find me here, Archer. Gilbert Archer: Surprised? Mr. Bradford, I already had you pegged as a member of the unholy family. Rev. George Bradford: Really? Since when? Gilbert Archer: Since earlier this evening when we met at the hotel. Matthew Stoker: Mr. Archer is a little late in putting two and two together, but he's a man of keen perception. And now, Mr. Archer, the Bible if you please. Gilbert Archer: According to our deal, Mr. Helms was to confirm this transaction in person. Rev. George Bradford: I assure you we're all most anxiously waiting for Mr. Helms. Rausch went to fetch him, and he should be here presently. Gilbert Archer: Rausch? [He notes that Stoker is carrying a gun] Gilbert Archer: I wouldn't dream of quibbling.
