The Stand, Part IV: The Stand

[Larry objects to leaving Stu behind.]

Larry Underwood:
This is no game, Stu.

Glen Bateman:
Stu's right, Larry. Mother Abagail said one of us would fall by the way.

Larry Underwood:
W-what does that mean? Huh? What are you saying? You're a college professor, for god sakes!

Glen Bateman:
Not anymore. In case you hadn't noticed, Larry, school is out.

Larry Underwood:
Look, I thought he was your friend!

Glen Bateman:
Of course he's my friend. But that doesn't matter now.

Ralph Brentner:
It's God's plan-

Larry Underwood:
Shut up about God! I'm sick of hearing about God!

Stu Redman:
This whole trip was based on the idea that Mother Abagail knew what she was talkin' about.

Ralph Brentner:
That's right.

Larry Underwood:
It's not right. It's not right! This isn't God's will, or God's plan! It's a washout! And you got a broken leg, Stu, and I'm not gonna leave you here!

. . .

Stu Redman:
When we came on this trip, we put our lives in the hands of Mother Abagail's God. Now, that hasn't changed. If he wants me to eat, he'll send food. If he wants me to drink… he'll send rain. It's his business. Yours… is to go against Flagg! Now, you've got to do that, and you've got to go without me!

Larry Underwood:
[choking back tears] Man… do you know how crazy that sounds? Do you know how totally damn crazy that sounds?!
