BUSTO: Right away, Ma'am.
[Edna looks down at Delia, who's looking up at her, and winks. Commander Busto calls out to Chaplain Roth who approaches them.]
BUSTO: [cont'd.] Chaplain Roth, front and center! [to Edna] Sir, Jewish sky pilot, still in training.
EDNA: [in her authoritative voice] Army training or Rabbi training?
ROTH: Army training, SIR! Otherwise, fully certified at the Jewish Theological Seminary in Manhattan, New York!
EDNA: At ease! Now you listen good, Lieutenant. This young lady here has a question for you concerning your faith. What's required is a regulation Jewish answer for how you know God exists. Are you prepared to answer such a question?
ROTH: Sir, yes Sir.
EDNA: Do you intend to disappoint her?
ROTH: Sir, no Sir.
EDNA: Proceed!
[Delia lights up but soon drops her face when he starts giving his explanation.]
ROTH: Yes Sir! There are three essential proofs for the existence of an omnipotent benevolent deity, Sir! The primary is that the monotheist cosmological proof in which the Aristotelian causal argument is applied. This is seconded in the madrastic law, in the story of the patriarch, Abraham, gazing at the stars. He equates the night sky to a sumptuous castle found in a field. Taking in its intricacies, one must assume the castle had a builder...
[Cut to Amy and her father at the recycling station. The car is full with newspapers. They start throwing the papers away.]
AMY: I cannot believe you bought a million papers no one reads anyway, just to make sure nobody would read them. You know you're insane, right?
DR. ABBOTT: Amy, don't diagnose your father.
AMY: OK. I'll go and see Colin tomorrow.
DR. ABBOTT: What are you reading him these days?
AMY: Jack London's Justice League.
DR. ABBOTT: Do you want me to give you a lift up there?
AMY: You don't think it's crazy? To spend all your free time reading to someone you're not even sure can hear you?
DR. ABBOTT: If you told me you'd go because you felt obligated, I'd say yes. That's fairly unhealthy. But you go because you miss him. That's all that matters. That said, it would be nice to see you go out once in a while.
AMY: I thought that was Mom's thing.
DR. ABBOTT: Your mother harps on you to go out more often because she doesn't want to see you miserable. I'm saying it because, I don't ever want to see you feel guilty for having a life. Now Colin was never so happy as when you were laughing. As far as being crazy, I won't call anyone crazy, if you won't.
[Cut to Edna and Delia. They've broken down on the side of the road. Edna is working on the engine.]
EDNA: Ah. She's been making a devil's barf full of noise the last dozen miles but I think I've got her fixed.
[Delia has her back to Edna, staring at the mountains.]
EDNA: Lost almost all our gas, though. Damn rock. Almost put a hole in the fuel line.
[She comes up behind Delia.]
EDNA: Oh, lovely stuff, isn't it?
DELIA: It's not the way I remembered a Synagogue.
EDNA: I guess not. You didn't like any of it?
DELIA: I liked it when you yelled at him.
[Edna laughs.]
EDNA: Sorry. I wish I could tell you more but, God doesn't like to give us easy answers.
DELIA: [mournfully] I'm OK.
[Edna just stares at her.]
