Mr. Reed : There will be before you saw a woman die and come back to life, and there will be after. Books will be written about it. So choose your words very carefully when I ask, what did you witness? Tell me. Tell me what you saw. Sister Paxton : How did she… Mr. Reed : I don’t know… And if you didn’t see something transcendental, you absolutely must tell me. Sister Paxton : I don’t know. Mr. Reed : ‘Cause if I’m wrong, I need to hear it. That’s why you’re here. Sister Barnes : It’s a contrived experiment. We are your prisoners! It doesn’t make sense… Mr. Reed : Oh, pooh! We’re all prisoners together. Sister Barnes : …for us to have an opinion! Mr. Reed : You must know by now that any of us can leave whenever we want, but why would we want, after what we’ve seen? Sister Paxton : I saw it. I saw it. I heard her describe what she experienced on the other side. Mr. Reed : Great! What did you hear? Sister Paxton : She said there was a conductor. Mr. Reed : Yes. Yeah. Sister Paxton : Did she mean angel? She had a feeling of disassociation, a feeling that something wasn’t real. Mr. Reed : That’s it. So now you know. Sister Paxton : Now, we know? Mr. Reed : Yeah, now, you know. Sister Paxton : Know? Mr. Reed : I can show you God. If you’re willing to die. It… it can be painless. It can be temporary. Like the Prophet, you can be brought back. It doesn’t have to be frightening at all. I’ll tell you… I’ll tell you what’s frightening. Not knowing is frightening! Where do we come from? What are we doing here? What’s our purpose? The terror of those questions is why religions exist. I can answer those questions for you. I can give you a comfort no religion in the world is capable of giving you. Sister Barnes : It all makes sense now. I’ve been asking myself all night, how is he gonna make killing us our idea?
