Sister Paxton : You returned the bike key to the wrong coat pocket. We thought this was a mistake you made...But now I know it wasn’t. Mr. Reed : Why? Sister Paxton : You gave the bike lock to one of your prophets, instructed them to lock the final cellar door with it. Mr. Reed : But why, why, why? Why did I do that? sister Paxton : Because you wanted me to know the only reason I’m standing here right now is because it is exactly where you want me to be standing. I’m not here because I chose to be. I’m here because you made me choose to be. Mr. Reed : Oh. Sister Paxton : Because you want me to believe the one, true religion is…control. Mr. Reed : That is exactly right. Religion is just a system of control… Sister Paxton : [to one of the women in a cage] It’s okay. I’ll help you. Mr. Reed : No, you see, that’s what’s so interesting. They don’t want your help. They… [chuckles] they are exactly where they chose to be. Sister Paxton : But you killed that woman. Mr. Reed : I disagree. She… She chose to eat a poisoned pie because of her profound faith. It is called drinking the… anyone? KoolAid. It is true… that I keep these ladies a little chilly, and a little peckish, for which I am very sorry. Sorry, ladies. But only for the same reason that your church goes to Haiti to give out Bibles after a hurricane. It’s easier to control someone who has lost…everything. ... Sister Paxton : Why do you do this? Mr. Reed : The question is, why do you all let me? You are here because the ideas of others have influenced every single decision you’ve made since the day you were born, and I’ve been able to predict every decision you would make tonight because of that. You have allowed them to dictate every decision of your life. They decide who you worship, where you worship, what you worship.
