This is from the great film, "Inherit The Wind", Spencer Tracy as Drummond (Clarence Darrow) and Frederick March as Brady (William Jennings Bryan) battling it out in the film adaptation of the Scopes Monkey Trial.
Quote:
Drummond: Now listen to this. This is Genesis [4:16]: "And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife." Now where the hell did she come from?
Brady: Who?
Drummond: Mrs. Cain. Cain's wife. If, in the beginning, there were just Cain and Abel, and Adam and Even, where did this extra woman come from? Did you ever stop to think about that?
Brady: No, sir. I leave the agnostics to hunt for her.
Drummond: Never bothered you?
Brady: Never bothered me.
Drummond: Never tried to find out?
Brady: No.
Drummond: You figure somebody else pulled another creation over in the next county somewhere?

Tracy, near the end of his career and seven years from the end of his life...in a simply miraculous performance.
