Being Molly Dingle
Scene Excerpt

EXT. SUPERMARKET - PARKING LOT - DAY
Jack and Molly loading the groceries into the back of her pick-up truck.

JACK
Wait a second. You're telling me you believe in UFO's but you don't believe in God? That's insane.

Molly heaves a case of beer into her truck.

MOLLY
You think we're the only intelligent life form in the universe? That's just arrogant. I mean, we invented parachute pants, the Pet Rock and line-dancing. How smart can we be?
(a beat)
I've seen photographs of aliens. I've walked through crop circles on my uncle's farm. But I've never seen proof of God.
(a beat)
I'd just like a little proof, that's all.  

Jack loads the last of the bags, turns to look at Molly.

JACK
But the proof is everywhere. What about the miracle of childbirth?

MOLLY
Monkeys have babies, and they don't believe in God.

JACK
They might.

Molly stops, looks directly at Jack, hands on her hips.

MOLLY
You think the monkeys have a God?  

Jack nods.

MOLLY (CONT'D)
Who is the monkey God, Jack? Who is the monkey God?

Jack shrugs "I don't know," climbs into the truck.
