Tom: No. I'm an atheist. Have you?
湯姆：沒去過，我是個無神論者。你去過嗎？
Wilson: I just went to yesterday with my new neighbors. They are Muslims from Tunisia.

Tom: Islam gives a man permission to marry two, three or four women, only on the condition that he deals justly with them.
湯姆：伊斯蘭教準許一名男子娶兩個、三個或四個女子，但前提條件是他必須公正地對待她們。

威爾遜：我不知道。我以前從來沒有留意過，但是現在我覺得我很感興趣。伊斯蘭教已經和基督教共存了一千多年，而我們對這個宗教的理解卻甚為膚淺。
Tom: Well, I'm quite OK with that.
湯姆：這我倒不介意。
Wilson: And there is the 13th century Persian poet who wrote about Islam. I am reading his poetry.
威爾遜：我在讀一位13世紀波斯詩人寫的關于伊斯蘭教的詩。

威爾遜：魯米。事實上，2007年被聯合國教科文組織定為“魯米年”。
Tom: Oh, you are a scholar.
湯姆：噢，你真是愛研究。
