Mary Adler : Is there a God?
Frank Adler : I don't know.
Mary Adler : Just tell me.
Frank Adler : I would if I could. But I don't know. Neither does anybody else.
Mary Adler : Roberta knows.
Frank Adler : No. Roberta has faith... And that's the great thing to have. But faith's about what you think, feel. Not what you know.
Mary Adler : What about Jesus?
Frank Adler : Love that guy. Do what he says.
Mary Adler : But, is he God?
Frank Adler : I don't know. I have an opinion. But that's my opinion and I could be wrong. So why would I screw up yours? Use your head. But don't be afraid to believe in things either.
Mary Adler : Huh. There was a guy on TV who said there was *no* God.
Frank Adler : The only difference between the atheists on TV and Roberta is, Roberta loves you. She trying to help. Tell you what though. One way or another we all end up back together in the end. That's what you're asking, right?
Mary Adler : Yep.
Frank Adler : Okay. Find something else to worry about, will ya?
Mary Adler : All right.

Evelyn : You're saying you've read it?
Mary Adler : Yeah, I've kind of moved on to differential equations now.
Frank Adler : Don't forget your manners. Thank your grandma.
Mary Adler : Thank you, Grandma.
Evelyn : Grandmother or Evelyn will do just fine. There's so much more on there. Things I know you'll find really challenging.

Mary Adler : Good night.
