          • Quotes
            • Man asking what time the baptism starts: Brother, what time is this here baptize supposed to start?
            • Baptism witness: Just as soon as the eclipse totalizes!
          • Alternate versions
            For several years when this short was shown on television, many of the local broadcasters would delete the baptism scene due to what they felt was objectionable content; particularly the negative stereotypes of the black church goers.
