Jack: What are your views on divine matters?
Kleinman: Excuse me. Me?
Jack: l'm asking if you believe in God.
Kleinman: lt's incredible. That's the third time tonight somebody asked me that exact question...l would love to, believe me. l know l would be happier.
Jack: Yeah, but you can't.
Kleinman: l can't. No.
Jack: You doubt His existence and you can't make the leap of faith necessary.
Kleinman: l can't make the leap of faith to believe in my own existence.
