Father Dupree Visits the Condemned, Explained：harden your heart
The night before the executions, Father Dupree visits the condemned men. One admits he would feel like a hypocrite if he prayed now; Arnaud, drunk, mocks the priest and calls his answers sanctimonious. "What are you hanging around for — to torture us?" he asks, before a fight leaves him with a fractured skull.
あらすじ

Arnaud, drunk, taunts the priest with a mock prayer to a bottle, and a scuffle leaves him with a fractured skull that may kill him before morning.

What's really going on
The scene sets faith and despair face to face in a waiting room for death. The priest offers confession and simple comfort — 'God is always ready to listen to your prayers' — and one prisoner refuses politely because praying now would make him a hypocrite. Arnaud takes the opposite route, turning a bottle into an altar and mocking the priest outright: "What are you hanging around for — to torture us?" The cruelty is that the army has already decided a man with a fractured skull will still be carried out and shot at dawn. The priest's faith can promise eternity, but it cannot change the schedule, and everyone in the cell knows it.

このシーンについての質問
Why does the prisoner refuse confession?
He says he is not very religious and that starting to pray now would make him feel like a hypocrite. The priest replies that God is always ready to listen.
Why does Arnaud mock the priest?
He is drunk and despairing. He turns a bottle into a joke altar and calls the priest's answers sanctimonious, asking whether he has come only to torture them.
What happens to Arnaud?
During a scuffle he is struck and suffers a fractured skull. The doctor says he may not live out the night.
What does "hold out" mean here?
It means to last or keep going. One soldier asks Ferol whether he is afraid his luck will not hold out, meaning his luck may run out at the execution.
Will Arnaud still be executed?
Yes. The officer says the sentence will be carried out and that, if Arnaud is still alive in the morning, he is to be made conscious for the firing squad.
