Quotes
Father Ed: Today I'd like to pose a Biblical question. Is there reincarnation after death, and if there is, does the individual return in a higher or lower state than he or she held in his or her mortal life? Chuck Barris: Ooh, that's an interesting question, Father Ed. What is, uh, what is the answer to that question?
