Sample
Walt: If the bus isn’t here in five minutes, I’m calling a cab, so you’re on the clock. Who knows? Maybe you’ll change my mind – or maybe I’ll change yours. You think about that? Maybe I’m going to bring you around to the glory of skepticism, save you from a lifetime of ignorance and slavery. If you’re willing to risk that, go ahead. Tell me why you think god is real.
