That's How It Happened

From Der Spiegel in April 05:

SPIEGEL: Do you see it as your job to recruit new followers for Scientology?

CRUISE: I’m a helper. For instance, I myself have helped hundreds of people get off drugs. In Scientology, we have the only successful drug rehabilitation program in the world. It’s called Narconon.

SPIEGEL: That’s not correct. Yours is never mentioned among the recognized detox programs. Independent experts warn against it because it is rooted in pseudo science.

CRUISE: You don’t understand what I am saying. It’s a statistically proven fact that there is only one successful drug rehabilitation program in the world. Period.

SPIEGEL: With all due respect, we doubt that.

The interview might as well have continued like this:

SPIEGEL: What are you doing?

CRUISE: I'm quietly judging you.

Cruise = Frank TJ Mackey.
