Where's the money hid?

John

[after hitting Powell on the head with a hairbrush]

Pearl, you swore you wouldn't tell. You swore, you swore, you swore!

Pearl

You hit Daddy with a hairbrush.

Powell

Now you see, we just can't have anything to do with John. You and me will go on down to the parlor, girl.

Powell John made a sin. John told a lie. The liar is an abomination before mine eyes. [takes out his knife] Pearl It's in my doll. It's in my doll! Powell The doll. Why sure. The last place anyone would think to look. Rachel What's wrong, John? John He ain't my Dad! Rachel No, and he ain't no Preacher, neither. 'Preacher' Harry Powell There are too many of them. Can't kill the world.
