About Ed[]
When Reverend Sam drops by to cajole James into traveling with him on his crusades, James seriously contemplates doing so, as he promises to pay him heftily, about $100 per day, to Florida's staunch objection. Ed, who not only is Sam's driver, but his personal valet, who also participates in his crusades, as he comes up to the apartment to alert Sam "We have to hurry if were going to catch that plane!" as he says "Our next stop is in Philadelphia... It's a good town to take over that wheelchair gig!", as he had posed as a wheelchair bound old man who was supposedly "healed" by Sam in a healing service which the Evans and Willona all attended.
Florida, who was persuaded only that Sam was a "fake" when she watched his program on TV, says to James "What do you have to say about that ?!", as Sam says "I hire the handicapped!"
