I'm sorry? What was that again?
- I'm a god. - You're God?
I'm a god. I'm not the god, I don't think.
Because you survived a car wreck?
You folks ready to order?
I didn't just survive a wreck. I wasn't just blown up yesterday.
I have been stabbed, shot, poisoned...
...frozen, hung, electrocuted and burned.
Oh, really.
Every morning I wake up without a scratch on me, not a dent in the fender.
I am an immortal.
Special today is blueberry waffles.
Why are you telling me this?
Because I want you to believe in me.
You are not a god.
You can take my word for it.
This is 12 years of Catholic school talking.
I can come back if you're not ready.
How do you know I'm not a god?

- How do you know? - Because it's not possible.
I'll come back.

Do I know you?

This is Bill.

for three years, since he left Penn State and had to get work.

I am.
This is Gus. He hates his life here, he wishes he'd stayed in the Navy.
Well, I could've retired on half pay after 20 years.
Excuse me. Is this some kind of trick?
Well, maybe the real God uses tricks.
You know, maybe he's not omnipotent, he's just been around so long he knows everything.
Oh, okay. Well, who's that?
This is Tom. He worked in the coal mine till they closed it down.
- And her? - It's Alice.
Came from Ireland when she was a baby. She lived in Erie most of her life.

and makes noises like a chipmunk when she gets real excited.
- It's true. - How do you know these people?
I told you, I know everything.
