Tom: You know, Scientology is something that you don't understand. It's like, you could be a Christian and be a Scientologist, okay. Scientology is something—
Matt: So, it doesn't replace religion.
Tom: It is a religion. Because it's dealing with the spirit. You as a spiritual being. It gives you tools you can use to apply to your life.
.....
Tom: Do you know what Adderall is? Do you know Ritalin? Do you know now that Ritalin is a street drug?
Matt: I understand the abuse of all these things --
Tom: [interrupting] Yeah but you don't understand the history of these drugs. And if you do, you know that it masks the problem. There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance!
Matt: But --
Tom:No, Matt, I know these things --
....
Matt: So, depression -- is it all gobbledy gook?
Tom:No, Matt, I'm not saying that. That’s an alteration of what I'm saying. These drugs are dangerous, mind-altering chemicals. There are ways of handling these problems so that we don't end up in a Brave New World.
Matt: You want [other people] to do well, but you want them to do well on a road that you approve of.
Tom: No --
Matt: [interrupting] But if anti-depressants worked for Brooke Shields, isn't that OK?
Tom: I disagree with it.
Matt: But aren't there examples where it works?
Tom: You don't even know what Ritalin is! If you read the papers on how they came up with the drug, the dosage … You should be more responsible in knowing what it is. I am responsible. I know these things.
Matt: You're saying that you know how it affected people you don't know, but I do? You're now telling me that what has and hasn't worked for people I know, and I'm telling you I lived with these people and I saw an improvement.
Tom: So you're advocating?
Matt: No, I’m not. I'm just saying that in their individual cases, it helped them... We could go in circles on this matter. But do you want more people to understand Scientology? Is that a goal of yours?
Tom: Of course. And I don't talk about things I don’t understand.
