Inherit the Wind
"He said first the earth was too hot for any kind of life."
Inherit the Wind
"Then it cooled off a mite and cells and things began to grow."
Inherit the Wind
"Cell..."
Inherit the Wind
"Oh."
Inherit the Wind
"Mr. McKennon, Mr. Galbraith. I think you know the rest of these gentlemen."
Inherit the Wind
"- Cells, Howard? - Little bugs in the water."
Inherit the Wind
"The little bugs got to be bigger bugs, sprouted legs and crawled up on the land."
Inherit the Wind
"How long did this take, according to Mr. Cates?"
Inherit the Wind
"A couple of million years. Maybe longer."
Inherit the Wind
"Then comes the fishes, and reptiles and mammals. Man's a mammal."
Inherit the Wind
"Along with the dogs."
Inherit the Wind
"And the cattle in the fields."
Inherit the Wind
"- Did he say that? - Yes, sir."
Inherit the Wind
"Now, Howard, how does man come out of this slimy mess of bugs and serpents,"
Inherit the Wind
"according to your professor?"
Inherit the Wind
"Well, man has sort of evoluted from the Old World monkeys."
Inherit the Wind
"Did you hear that, my friends?"
Inherit the Wind
"Old World monkeys! Ha!"
Inherit the Wind
"According to Mr. Cates, you and I aren't even descended from American monkeys."
Inherit the Wind
"Listen carefully."
Inherit the Wind
"In all this talk of bugs and evolution, of slime and ooze,"
Inherit the Wind
"did Mr. Cates ever make any reference to God?"
Inherit the Wind
"- Not as I remember. - Of the miracle he achieved in 7 days,"
Inherit the Wind
"as described in the beautiful Book of Genesis?"
Inherit the Wind
"No, sir."
