John Cleary:
So you've outgrown the Faith, huh?

Timmy Cleary:
Well, it doesn't answer my needs...

John Cleary:
Outgrown your old clothes, and outgrown the Faith.

Timmy Cleary:
Pop, will you listen to me, please?

John Cleary:
Millions of people have believed in it since the beginning of time, but it's not *good* enough for you.

Timmy Cleary:
It's not a question of "good enough".

John Cleary:
Well, what do you say, when people ask you what religion you are?

Timmy Cleary:
[pauses to reflect] Nothing.

John Cleary:
[Showing disgust] You say you're "nothing".

Timmy Cleary:
Yes.

John Cleary:
The Clearys have been Catholics since... since the beginning of time. And now you, a Cleary, are going to tell people you're a "nothing"?

Timmy Cleary:
Yes.

John Cleary:
You're an atheist!

Timmy Cleary:
I'm not an atheist.

John Cleary:
What are you?

Timmy Cleary:
I don't know, but I'd like a chance to find out.
