with drunkenness, but there’s plenty of worse things. How about chamberin’? Ain’t chamberin’ a worse sin than drunkenness? You think you can put a stop to drunkenness by pullin’ up all the grapes, I suppose you think you can put a stop to chamberin’ by pulling up all the women!

The Doctor
Alcohol is a poison to the entire alimentary system whether you make it in a still or in a wine barrel. It’s poison, and poison’s no em for any man. As for the Church . . .
Father McKee
[Beside himself]: It ain’t poison if you don’t get drunk on it, an’ you don’t get drunk if you’re a good Cath’lic!
The Doctor
I suppose that drunkenness is confined to such scientific heretics as myself?
Amy
You certainly was lappin’ it up outside, Doc.
