the big leap

FATHER FLYNN
(gesturing)
Now why do you think that you would
like to convert to Catholicism?

MICKEY
Well, uh, because, y-you know, I
gotta have something to believe in,
otherwise life is just meaningless.

FATHER FLYNN
(pacing behind his
desk and gesturing)
I understand. But why did you make
the decision to choose the Catholic
faith?

MICKEY
(gesturing)
Tch. Well, y-you know...first of
all, because it's a very beautiful
religion. It's very well structured.
Now I'm talking now, incidentally,
about the-the, uh, against-school-
prayer, pro-abortion, anti-nuclear
wing.

FATHER FLYNN

So at the moment you don't believe
in God.

MICKEY
(offscreen)
No. A-a-and I-I want to. You
know, I'm-I'm willing to do anything.
I'll, you know, I'll dye Easter
eggs if it works. I-I need some evidence. I gotta
have some proof. Uh, you know, i-
i-if I can't believe in God
then I don't think life is worth
living.
