John Cleary:
You don't know what you believe in?

Timmy Cleary:
Do you?

John Cleary:
Yes!

Timmy Cleary:
Tell me. Go on...

John Cleary:
I believe in the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. I believe God created Man in his own image...

Timmy Cleary:
[Interrupting] Pop! If your faith works for you, I'm glad. Really, I'm very glad. I wish it worked for me, but it doesn't.

John Cleary:
Do you believe in God - yes or no?

Timmy Cleary:
I don't believe in heaven or hell or purgatory...

John Cleary:
[Interrupting, shouting] YES or NO!

Timmy Cleary:
I believe there is something bigger than myself. What you call it or what it is, I don't know.

John Cleary:
[Looking disgusted] Well, this is a fine how-do-you-do.

Nettie Cleary:
[Calmly] Yesterday you said he was a man. A man has a right to decide such things for himself.
