English term or phrase: They've about had it with worldly ambition around here.
Йдеться про те, що священникам запропонували великі гроші за те, що у стінах їхньої церкви буде проведено експеримент, але вони відмовилися їх узяти. Дізнавшись про це, один з героїв каже: - Well, they've about had it with worldly ambition around here.
Теоретично, це має бути жартом. Але нвіть якщо це так, я його не розумію. Допоможіть, будь ласка.
