The Ledge*

& Gavin: Is this your specialty, Hollis? ... What’s your success rate?

& Hollis: Are you married, Gavin?
    Gavin: No.
    Hollis: Then what in the hell are you doing up here?
    Gavin: ... That was a joke?
    Hollis: It was an attempt at a joke.

& Gavin: So how long you been together, you and your wife?
    Hollis: 15 years.
    Gavin: Is the sex still good?

& Gavin: I have to stay up here until noon and then jump. If I don’t... someone else is gonna die.

& Joe: You think God’s just a pleasant thing? Like it’s easier to believe than not?
    Gavin: Well, easier for you, clearly.
    Joe: No, Gavin, faith is hard. God tests you time and time again. Sometimes He even demands that you die for Him. You think that’s easy?
    Gavin: For people of faith, sure. That’s the problem. Like, I could never fly a jet into a building. But those 9/11 guys could ’cause they had faith in an afterlife, not to mention 72 virgins, though why anyone would want virgins, I don’t know.


& Joe: What did God do to you to make you so angry at Him? Look at the world that He created, all the beauty.
    Gavin: Wars and plagues and genocides and earthquakes and tidal waves. And then, after all that suffering, what does your God do next? He sends most of us to hell.

& Gavin: Come on. Trust me. Lie down. There you have it.
    Shana: What?
    Gavin: The universe. I mean, look at it. It’s incredible. You know, some of the stars you can see on a clear night, their light, it’s taken 2.5 million years to get here. When that light started out, the Ice Age hadn’t even begun. When you want a connection to something bigger, how much bigger can you get than this?
    Shana: It’s pretty big.
    Gavin: Yeah. And we’re a part of it, a lucky part of it, ’cause as far as we know, only Earth came together in a way that enabled life to exist. I mean, what a break, right? Thank you, universe. And then you die, and that’s it.
    Shana: Oh, now I’m definitely feeling better.
    Gavin: You should. Once you understand that life is finite, you don’t want to waste a moment of it.

& Joe: Are you prepared to sin no more?
