Reverend Ernst Toller: Everything is so extreme. There's no middle ground. Us versus them. We're right, they're wrong let's go to war.
Reverend Joel Jeffers: It's the times. These are frightening times. These kids grow up in a world we can hardly imagine. A sea of pornography from the time they're ten years old, hyper violent video games, a world without privacy, each kid isolated, communicating through media. A world without hope. Raised on a diet of terrorism, nuclear threats and global warming. You don't know what it's like to raise a kid in this...
Reverend Ernst Toller: I did raise a kid.
Reverend Joel Jeffers: I didn't mean it that way. They're frightened. They want certainty. Don't think, follow. They fall prey to extremism. Jihadism is everywhere.

Reverend Joel Jeffers: Even here.

Balq: [shifts tone] Look, I understand you're upset. You found the body, correct?
Reverend Ernst Toller: [nods]
Balq: How?
Reverend Ernst Toller: We were supposed to meet. He texted me the location.
Balq: And you counseled him, Reverend?
Reverend Ernst Toller: Yes.
Balq: You counseled him. Then he shot himself.
Reverend Ernst Toller: Yes.
[His point is made...]
Balq: I think you need to step back, Reverend. Look at your own life before you criticize others.
