Karin Selma - student: "Do you believe in God Ms.Chase?"
Quinn Chase - School counselor: "Yes, I do. I've been a devoted Christian my whole life."
Karin - "See that's the thing; I don't."
Quinn - "Well there's nothing wrong with being an atheist Karin."
Karin - "But now I wish I wasn't. I wish I believed in heaven and hell, because I want to believe that Nick is in a better place. I want to believe that he is happy in whatever place he'd be in, and not a soul that no longer exists."
Quinn - "Of course is in a better place. He was a good person, and he affected so many people in his life."
Karin - "But don't you understand that it's complete bs? His mind doesn't exist. He doesn't exist. He can't be happy; he doesn't exist! He can't think anymore!"
Quinn - "Karin..."
Karin - "I don't believe in God. After this I never will. No God could allow Nick to die. Not Nick. He was one of the best people I've ever met. He was so kind and caring. He can never find happiness. [Karin starts to cry] He can never find love, he can never find his purpose. Tell me Ms.Chase, what sort of God would allow this? There's so much pain and suffering. So much. What kind of God could allow this?"
Quinn - "I-I don't know."
