The Spirit of St. Louis (1957)

Marc Connelly: Father Hussman

Quotes 

• Father Hussman : How come I never see you around church? You don't believe?

  Charles Lindbergh : Well, yes, I believe. I believe in an instrument panel, a pressure gauge, a compass, things I can see and touch. I can't touch God.

  Father Hussman : You're not supposed to! He touches you!

• Father Hussman : [Flying - quite clumsily - in a bi-plane with Lindbergh as his instructor pilot]  I've got a special prayer for landings.

  Charles Lindbergh : Don't you think you need a little more than that?

  Father Hussman : I also have a prayer for takeoffs, for engine trouble, for rough air, all kinds of prayers. Would you like to hear the one for landings? It's out of the Psalms.

  Charles Lindbergh : No, thank you, Father.

  Father Hussman : Slim, don't you ever pray?

  Charles Lindbergh : Well, I don't have to, I *know* how to land.
