☛ Match Point by Woody Allen, United Kingdom, 2005, screen capture at 00:22:03:00.
[Nola] – I don’t think my career has… really gone as planned.
[Tom] – Oh, you just need a break.
[Chris] – I think it’s important to be lucky in anything.
[Chloe] – Well, I don’t believe in luck. I believe in hard work.
[Chris] – Oh, hard work is mandatory, but I think everybody’s afraid to admit what a big part luck plays. I mean, it seems scientists are confirming more and more that all existence is here by blind chance. No purpose, no design.
[Chloe] – Well, I don’t care, I love every minute of it.
[Chris] – And I envy you for it.
[Tom] – What was it the… the vicar used to say? “Despair is the path of least resistance.” It was something odd, wasn’t it? It was very strange…
[Chris] – I think that faith is the path of least resistance.
