Sister Terry Quotes in Wide Awake (1998)

Joshua A. Beal: My question is about my Aunt Denise. She's not baptized, so that means she's going to Hell right?

Sister Terry: Uh, no, actually she's not, Joshua.

Joshua A. Beal: And my dad's best friend, he's not baptized either, and that means *he's* going to hell.

[kids beginning to clammer nervously]

Sister Terry: Joshua, I think you misunderstood.

Student: Oh man! Seth Greenburg rides my bus, he's not baptized...

Sister Terry: Okay, wait a sec...

Student #2: Hey, my cousin's going to hell?

Sister Terry: No, I don't think...

Student: The family living next door - their whole house is going to hell!

Sister Terry: No, that's not what it says in the book. If you'll notice, on page four... Ok alright, quiet! No one is going to Hell!

Sister Terry: Joshua, why do you feel the need to do these things?

Sister Terry: Every day at sunset you'd bow your head to the east and pray, is that right?

Joshua A. Beal: Uh, I stopped that.

Sister Terry: Okay, well what did you think about when you prayed?

Joshua A. Beal: Nothing mostly. Sometimes, I'd wonder... what made that smell in the carpet?
