Movie Quote(s):
- John Oldman: What if a man from the Upper Paleolithic had survived until the present day?
-
Harry: Edith, I was raised on the Torah, my wife on the Qu'Ran, my eldest son is an Atheist, my youngest is a scientologist, my daughter is studying Hinduism, I imagine there is room there for a holy war in my living room, but we practice live and let live.
-
Dan: I'm going home and watch Star Trek for a dose of sanity.
-
John Oldman: And that's what I taught, but a talking snake made a lady eat an apple, so we're screwed.
-
Edith: [talking about God] He's everywhere. We just can't see him. Harry: Pfft. If this was the best I could do, I'd be hiding, too.
Movie Trivia:

The whole movie was shot using 2 Panasonic DVX 1000 camcorders, which probably explains the overall grainy look of the film.
