Quotes:
From There Will Be Blood (2007)
Eli Sunday: We have a sinner with us here, who wishes for salvation. Daniel, are you a sinner?
Plainview: Yes.
Eli Sunday: The Lord can't hear you, Daniel. Say it to him. Go ahead and speak to him, it's alright.
Plainview: Yes.
Eli Sunday: Down on your knees and up to him. Look up to the sky and say it.
Plainview: What do you want me to say?
Eli Sunday: Daniel, you have come here and you have brought good and wealth, but you have also brought your bad habits as a backslider. You've lusted after women, and you have abandoned your child.

Plainview: I am a sinner.
Eli Sunday: Say it louder- I am a sinner!
Plainview: I am a sinner.
