(God is reading a children's book)
God: ...And they all lived happily ever after. There's a surprise. You guys really like that ending.
Joan: Yeah, well, You have a better one?
God: They all moved towards spiritual growth and enlightenment?
Joan: Yeah. That's gonna work with the kids.
...
Joan: Why did You have to make love so complicated? I mean... couldn't that one thing have been easy?
God: Love is big. It's a bright light in the universe. And a bright light casts a big shadow. So what do you want to do, Joan?
Joan: How am I supposed to know?
God: By looking at it. Real love is hard work. You have to decide if you want it in your story. Or...if you'd rather just stay in the dream.
