Oz, Season One

Bob Rebadow:
I'm sorry that you're ill.

Kareem Said:
And who told you that I was ill?

Bob Rebadow:
God.

Kareem Said:
Oh, yes. You talk to God.

Bob Rebadow:
When he's in town.

Kareem Said:
Well, in Islam, we believe that only two people spoke to God directly. Mohammad], and praise be to him, and Moses. So, you see, you are in excellent company.

Bob Rebadow:
You think I'm lying or deluded.

Kareem Said:
Oh, yes.

Bob Rebadow:
I may well be. I do know sometimes I can see inside men's souls.

Kareem Said:
And can you see into mine, old man?

Bob Rebadow:
Yes.

Kareem Said:
And what is there?

Bob Rebadow:
Anger.

Kareem Said:
Yes, I am angry. I am angry at a society that cripples my people and infects their bodies.

Bob Rebadow:
No, you're angry at God.

Kareem Said:
I am not. My illness is Allah's will and I accept the bad as well as the good that God gives me.

Bob Rebadow:
Still, you're angry at him and afraid. Afraid of dying.

Kareem Said:
That is not true.

Bob Rebadow:
You watched Jefferson Keane die, die gladly. Keane embraced death like a lover, like a traveler going home. You saw that and you were afraid. You realized you aren't as willing to go.
