Sheikh Muhammed: You're not a religious man?
Dr. Alfred Jones: No. No, I'm not.
Sheikh Muhammed: But you're a fisherman, Dr. Jones.
Dr. Alfred Jones: I'm sorry, I don't follow.
Sheikh Muhammed: How many hours do you fish before you catch something? Dozens?
Dr. Alfred Jones: Gosh, hundreds sometimes.
Sheikh Muhammed: Is that a good use of your time for a facts-and-figures man? But you persist in the wind and the rain and the cold with such poor odds of success. Why? Because you're a man of faith, Dr. Alfred.
Dr. Alfred Jones: With due respect, fishing and religion are hardly the same thing.
Sheikh Muhammed: With equal respect, I have to disagree.
