Albert Lewis

Chris, "here" is big enough for everyone to have their own private universe.

Albert Lewis

Your brain is meat, and rots and disappears. Do you really think that's all there was to you? Like you're in your house right now. You're in your house, that doesn't mean you are your house. House falls down, you get out and walk away.

So what is the "me"?

My brain I suppose.

Albert

Your brain? Your brain is a body part. Like your fingernail or your heart. Why is that the part that's you?

Because I have sort of a voice in my head, the part of me that thinks, that feels, that is aware that I exist at all.

Albert

So if you're aware you exist, then you do. That's why you're still here.

I need Annie.

Albert

That'll change in time.

Oh, come on Einstein! Time's not on my watch anymore. Time does not exist here. And wherever it went, it's not going to make me need Annie any less.

Albert

You don't understand.

It's not about understanding- it's about not giving up!

Where is God in all of this?

Albert

Oh, He's up there. Somewhere... shouting down that He loves us. Wondering why we can't hear Him. You think?

Albert

Each of us has an instinct that there is a natural order to our journey. And Annie's violated that. She won't face it. She won't realize, accept, what she's done. And she will spend eternity playing that out.

You're still saying she's in Hell...

Albert

Everyone's Hell is different. It's not all fire and pain. The real Hell is your life gone wrong.
