Dogma
written by Kevin Smith

Bethany: I remember the exact moment. I was on the phone with my mother, and she was trying to council me through this...thing, and nothing she was saying was making me feel any better. and she said......"Bethany....God has a plan." I was...I was so angry with her. I was, like...what about my plans, ya know? I had planned to have a family...with my husband...wasn't that plan good enough for God? (long pause) Apparently not. I hate thoughts like that, but y'know, they come to you with age. When you're a kid, you never question the whole faith thing. Nope. God's in heaven, and he's...she's...always got her eye on you. I would give anything to feel that way again.

Kudos and much thanks go to Cari for this monologue, it is very much appreciated.
