INMATE #4382BX12
I have enjoyed our talks. Thank you for telling me about Francesca.

The Administration wants you to disappear.

I am nothing like—

I am trying to save your life.

You are exactly like them, and like me, and like the rest of God’s poor creatures. We suffer and we die and that is all.

Isn’t that reason enough to be kind to one another? In the last few hours before dark?

DR. GANTRY
I’ve turned off all the security cameras.

INMATE #4382BX12
I want my Master to see what I am doing, Dr. Gantry. Shouldn’t you?

DR. GANTRY
John, you’re going to die.

INMATE #4382BX12
So are you.

DR. GANTRY
You’re going to die TODAY.

INMATE #4382BX12
If this is our last time together, you should listen to me while you still have time.

DR. GANTRY
Nobody is listening, John! Nobody can hear you any more.

INMATE #4382BX12
You can. Listen to me:

We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places.

DR. GANTRY
Look, I pulled some strings in the Administration. All you have to do is sign this form. Then you walk outside this jail and tell your followers
your revelation was false.

INMATE #4382BX12
It wasn’t.

DR. GANTRY
You don’t have to believe it, you just have to say it. On TV.

[At this point, Dr. Gantry pushed the form at the inmate, who refused to sign.]

INMATE #4382BX12
I have enjoyed our talks. Thank you for telling me about Francesca.

DR. GANTRY
The Administration wants you to disappear.

INMATE #4382BX12
Your words, not mine.

DR. GANTRY
They won’t even take you to court. You’re a Security Threat. In a few minutes they will drag you out behind this jail and shoot you through the head
and send your wife a bill for the bullet.

Sign. The. Form.

INMATE #4382BX12
Doctor—

DR. GANTRY
I am trying to save your life!

INMATE #4382BX12
You did not come here to save me.

DR. GANTRY
I did, for all the good it—

You came so I could save you.

DR. GANTRY
I – I didn’t… I

INMATE #4382BX12
I am a vessel, nothing more. I am a bell struck by God and you can hear the truth ringing from me. You came for the same reason they all did, all the
poor suffering bastards outside this prison.

DR. GANTRY
I am nothing like—

You are exactly like them, and like me, and like the rest of God’s poor creatures. We suffer and we die and that is all.

INMATE #4382BX12
Go home. Tell Francesca you love her. Wait for the end.
