GODBOLT
|
[V.O. ON TV] Must be some evil purpose behind it. It's not that such things are motiveless of course, there were a motive, it's just that mistakes sometimes happen.

FIRST CLERGYMAN
|
[V.O. ON TV] And you're saying that your friend's daughter's death was accidental?

I know who he is. It's what he's saying I find so damned interesting.

SECOND CLERGYMAN
|
[V.O. ON TV] Isn't an accident the result of divine providence, a mistake the result of human error?
|
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
GOLDBOLT
|
[V.O. ON TV] Yes, but my friend prefers to think that some malevolent force took a hand in his daughter's death, whereas in reality, it was simply a mistake.

GOLDBOLT
|
[V.O. ON TV] But you can't explain that to someone who's overcome with grief.

|
GOLDBOLT
|
You have to escalate the rhetoric the way you two do, and talk about God and faith and destiny.

SECOND CLERGYMAN
|
So men make mistakes...
|

GOLDBOLT

Oh, yes.

SECOND CLERGYMAN

...but God can't?
|
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
GOLDBOLT
|
In your terms, God, in mine, history. As far as history is concerned, history cannot make mistakes.
