more song before the service begins.

Number 14, everybody.

[BAND PLAYING HYMN]

Gee, I wish I had

some peanuts.

I always say.

Shh!

It looks like we stand

them up again tonight.

Give me a match.

Hey, nix, Mr. Hornsby.

The fire inspectors will raise...

Ill take care

of the fire inspectors.

It's your funeral.

Go on, hit it.

[WHISPERING]

Okay, pull the curtain.

[BAND PLAYING FANFARE]

[LIONS ROARING]

[CROWD CHEERING]

[CHOIR HUMMING HYMN]

[WHISPERING]

Is she blond or brunette?

Shh.

Stand by with those guns.

Don't let anything

happen to Sister.

He sure does take care of

his meal ticket, doesn't he?

The grace of our Lord

be with you all.

Amen.

CROWD:

Amen.

Dearly beloved,

all you meek of the earth,

all you that labour

and are heavy-laden,

I come here to lift the

heavy loads from your hearts.

All you that thirst and hunger,

I come here to feed

your famished souls.

I stand here in a den

which is a cage of fear,

behind these bars

which are the bars of doubt.

I stand here among beasts

that tear and destroy,

and behold, they cannot

hurt me. For I am...

She's going great tonight.

Hitting on all six. Hot dog!

- As Daniel said unto Darius,

my God has sent an angel,

and has shut the lion's mouth.

And I say unto you, there is

not a single soul among you

these beasts can hurt,

if you come into this cage

with love and understanding

in your heart.

Who among you will prove there

is no fear in God's kingdom?

What man, what woman?

Step up, somebody.

Anybody.

Isn't there one among you

who trusts the Almighty?

Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel?

Why not every man?

[CHOIR SINGING HYMN]

What's the matter with that guy

Collins? Hasn't he shown up tonight?

You paid him last night,

didn't you? Well?

On the booze again, eh?

Sure.

He's dead drunk.

Hallelujah! Why not every man?

Don't you know that the lions

can't hurt you if you have faith?

I know it, you know it.

But do the lions know it?

Isn't there one here who will

take the Almighty's dare?

What's the matter

with these people?

Are they gonna

leave her flat?

Shh.

Where are you going?

I always wanted to run

away and join a circus.

Praise the Lord,

there's a brother with faith.

The lions will eat you.

No, they won't. I've got a murad.

Usher, show that man this way.

Right this way, sir.

Beg your pardon?

She's trying to tell

you I'm blind.

Oh, I'm sorry, sir.

Oh, dear, I hope nothing

will happen to him.

Oh, I'm sure nothing will happen

to him while Sister's there.

[CHOIR SINGING " BATTLE

HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC"]

Come right in, brother. Don't be

afraid. These beasts won't hurt you.

I'm more afraid of you

than I am of the lions.
