Rev. Ephram Samuels:
[seeing Jack in his empty church]... A man with much to consider.

Jack Benjamin:
My whole life, I've waited for this moment - my chance to lead, to impress my personality on a country and make it better... Tomorrow it happens. But I - I don't feel anything... It's not there.

Rev. Ephram Samuels:
You mean *He*... is not there.

Jack Benjamin:
Shouldn't He give me something? Words... of wisdom, or... a warning, an image for a new standard? My father had signs, butterflies, whole conversations, whatever, to give him the confidence to speak in His name... What's my blessing?

Rev. Ephram Samuels:
God... does not take counsel with sinners. Recently, you and I - we've been made unforgiveable.

Jack Benjamin:
We both knew my father needed to go.

Rev. Ephram Samuels:
And all the others? All the innocents shot dead - your declaration of war...

Jack Benjamin:
That's William.

Rev. Ephram Samuels:
We allowed it... Silas was right; I cannot accuse him and let myself go unscrutinized.

Jack Benjamin:
I can make good of our mistakes. Once you put the crown on my head, you will see how well it fits.

Rev. Ephram Samuels:
The crown will never touch your head. That is the hollowness that you feel - and you know it; *He* knows it... and He will never speak to you.

Jack Benjamin:
Why not?

Rev. Ephram Samuels:
You are not the one He wants.
