Now if someone asks me if I believe in God, I shake my head like I couldn't give a shit, but the truth is, I do. I just don't know what to do about it…I'd always considered the military, but that movie Top Gun put me over the edge. Tom Cruise on that Nija, banging that girl. F--kin A. That was me. Sounds idiotic, and I'm savvy to that now; but walking out of the dark theatre into the mall parking lot, that blazing hot August sun screaming down, I felt that film move me like calling from God.
(James Heartsock, the central character in Ethan Hawke's novel, Ash Wednesday)
