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.
