Father Cavanaugh: [in church] Taking your appeal to a higher authority? Rudy: I'm desperate. If I don't get in next semester, it's over. Notre Dame doesn't accept senior transfers. Father Cavanaugh: Well, you've done a hell of a job kid, chasing down your dream. Rudy: Who cares what kind of job I did if it doesn't produce results? It doesn't mean anything. Father Cavanaugh: I think you'll find that it will. Rudy: Maybe I haven't prayed enough. Father Cavanaugh: I don't think that's the problem. Praying is something we do in our time, the answers come in God's time. Rudy: If I've done everything I possibly can, can you help me? Father Cavanaugh: Son, in thirty-five years of religious study, I've come up with only two hard, incontrovertible facts; there is a God, and, I'm not Him.
