[Major Freedman examines Captain Chandler, in the Post-Op Ward]
Dr. Sidney Freedman : Jesus Christ?
Captain Chandler : Yes.
Dr. Sidney Freedman : Your presence poses some interesting questions. For instance, how long have you known your true identity?
Captain Chandler : What do you mean?
Dr. Sidney Freedman : Until about five days ago you were Arnold Chandler. Now, Arnold Chandler was born in Idaho, was raised on the family sheep ranch, went to college in Colorado, enlisted in the Army, went to O.C.S., trained as a bombardier, went on over fifty missions and earned most of the medals and commendations that are available.
Captain Chandler : I'm not Captain Chandler.
Dr. Sidney Freedman : You're not from Idaho? You're not in the army?
Captain Chandler : [shakes his head] Of course not.
Dr. Sidney Freedman : You're not a bombardier?
Captain Chandler : I'm Christ, the Lord.
Dr. Sidney Freedman : But you died.
Captain Chandler : I rose.
Dr. Sidney Freedman : That was a long time ago. Where have you been since then?
Captain Chandler : I live on in all men.
Dr. Sidney Freedman : What are you doing here, in an army hospital?
Captain Chandler : I'm Christ. Where should I be?
Dr. Sidney Freedman : Shouldn't you be in the nose of a B-29?
Captain Chandler : [looks confused] B-29?
Dr. Sidney Freedman : That's where you've been a good part of the past two years; up in a B-29, dropping bombs.
Captain Chandler : Bombs. On people?
Dr. Sidney Freedman : On the enemy.
Captain Chandler : I have no enemies. I love all men.
Dr. Sidney Freedman : Even the North Koreans?
Captain Chandler : [with tears in his eyes] They're my children. Why would I hurt my children? I'm sorry. I'm not this Captain Chandler you're looking for, but I hope you can find him. And I hope you can help him.
Dr. Sidney Freedman : Tell me, is it true that God answers all prayers?
Captain Chandler : Yes. Sometimes the answer is no.

Father Francis Mulcahy : So what you're saying, is Judas only did what he had to do.
Captain Chandler : Being Judas, he could do nothing else.
