Hell is a sewer

This morning Vito was talking about the Muslims who have been killed in Mecca, and said he's not sure how many get to go to heaven and Eli wanted to know what heaven and hell look like. Olivia said heaven was golden streets and gates protected by tons of angels and Eli added with flaming swords. So Vito asked what hell looked like. Olivia said: "Hell is a sewer. I just said that cause it stinks and is nasty. "
