Liz
[distracting anti-abortion protestors]

Holy shit, it's the Pope!

Liz
(Liz has just fought her way through a group of pro-life protesters to enter the abortion clinic where she and Bethany work.)

You're a Catholic. Can't you talk to them?

Bethany

They hate me more than you, no doubt. At least you have an excuse. You're Jewish. You don't know any better.

Liz

Ah, they won't go for that one. We already used that excuse when we killed Christ.

Bethany

I remember going to church when I was younger and feeling moved. Now I go every Sunday and feel nothing. I don't think I have any faith left.

Liz

Do you remember that seminary student who used to mow my lawn? The one I tried to set you up with?

Bethany

The twenty-year-old. The one I could have babysat for in high school.

Liz

Right. Well, the point is, he told me something. He said that faith is like a glass of water. When you're young, the glass is little, so it's easy to fill. As you get older, the glass gets bigger. The same amount of liquid doesn't fill it anymore. But periodically the glass needs to be refilled.

Bethany

You're suggesting I need to get filled.

Liz

In more ways than one. You need to get laid, Bethany Sloane. You need a man, if only for ten minutes.

Bethany

It's been my experience that the average male is never a man, not even for ten minutes, in his entire lifespan.

Liz

That sounds a little bit militant. Are you thinking of joining the other side?

Bethany

Couldn't do it. Women are insane.

Liz

Well, then you need to go back to church and ask God for a third option.

Bethany

I think God is dead.

Liz

The sign of a true Catholic.
