Sarah Forbes: Doesn't give you much comfort does it? Not believing in an afterlife.
Kurt Mendel: On the contrary, it gives me lots of comfort.
Sarah Forbes: How can the prospect of nonexistence be comforting?
Kurt Mendel: I look at it like this: before I came on stage, the Universe had been around for twelve billion years. All that time I was in a state of nonexistence, and it wasn't bad. Pretty comfortable as a matter of fact. I figure it'll be just as comfortable for the next twelve billion years.
Sarah Forbes: So all those people were wrong to believe in a higher power?
Kurt Mendel: Look what good it did 'em.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (continuity error): When the crew are attempting to rescue Angela from her spacewalk, the flight director says he's going to order the shuttle Discovery to intercept her. However, the displays at NASA all indicate that the shuttle is the Odyssey.
