TOMMY: Have you\u2026 have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal lord and savior?<\/span><\/p>\n

HEDWIG: No, but l\u2026 I love his work.<\/p>\n

TOMMY: No. What he was saving us from was his fucking father. What kind of god creates Adam in his image and then pulls Eve out of him to keep him company? And then tells them not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge? He was so micromanaging. So was Adam. But Eve\u2026 Eve just wanted to know shit. She took a bite of the apple, and she found out what was good and what was evil. Then she gave it to Adam, so he would know, because they were in love. And that was good, they now knew. Hedwig\u2026 would you give me the apple?<\/p>\n

Hedwig and the Angry Inch<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
