A scene from Boys Town 1938
Dan Farrow

[panicky, about to die in the electric chair]

How much time have I got, Father?

Father Flanagan

Eternity begins in forty-five minutes, Dan.

Dan Farrow

What happens then?

Father Flanagan

Oh, a bad minute or two.

Dan Farrow

And after that?

Father Flanagan

Well, Dan, that's a question that scientists and philosophers have been asking for a million years.
