You Can Count On Me

This movie has a very interesting scene where a brother's sister is worried about him and asks a priest to talk to him about his life.

                         I feel like what I
                         do is very connected with the real
                         center of people's lives. I'm not
                         saying I'm always Mr. Effective, but
                         I don't feel like my life is off to
                         the side of what's important. You
                         know? I don't feel my happiness and
                         comfort are based on closing my eyes
                         to trouble within myself or trouble
                         in other people. I don't feel like a
                         negligible little scrap, floating
                         around in some kind of empty void,
                         with no sense of connectedness to
                         anything around me except by virtue
                         of whatever little philosophies I
                         can scrape together on my own...
   
                                     TERRY
                         Well --
   
                                     RON
                         Can I ask you, Terry: Do you think
                         your life is important?
   
                                     TERRY
                         You mean -- Like, me personally, my
                         individual life?
   
                                     RON
                         Yeah.
   
                                     TERRY
                         Well... I'm not sure -- What do you
                         mean? It's important to me. I guess.
                         And like, to my, you know, the people
                         who care about me...
   
                                     RON
                         But do you think it's important?
   
                                     TERRY
                         I --
   
                                     RON
                         Do you think it's important in the
                         scheme of things? Not just because
                         it's yours, or because you're
                         somebody's brother. Because I don't
                         really get the impression that you
                         do.
   
                                     TERRY
                         Well, I don't think... I don't
                         particularly think anybody's life
                         has any particular importance besides
                         whatever -- you know -- whatever we
                         arbitrarily give it. Which is fine.
                         I mean we might as well... I think
                         I'm as important as anybody else...
   
               Silence.
   
                                     TERRY
                         I don't know: A lot of what you're
                         saying has a real appeal to me, Ron.
                         A lot of the stuff they told us when
                         we were kids... But I don't want to
                         believe something or not believe it
                         because I might feel bad. I want to
                         believe it because I think it's true
                         or not... I'd like to think that my
                         life is important... Or that it's
                         connected to something important...
   
                                     RON
                         Well, isn't there any way for you to
                         believe that without calling it God,
                         or religion, or whatever term it is
                         you object to?
   
                                     TERRY
                         Yes. I believe that.
