City of Angels
1998
Susan: What good would wings be if you couldn't feel the wind on your face?
Maggie Rice: When they ask me what I liked best, I'll say it was you.
Seth: You're a good doctor. Maggie: How do you know? Seth: I have a feeling. Maggie: Yeah, well that's pretty flimsy evidence. Seth: Close your eyes. Just for a second... what am I doing? Maggie: You're... touching me. Seth: How do you know? Maggie: Because, I feel it. Seth: You should trust that. You don't trust it enough.
Seth: Hello Maggie! It's nice to see you again. Maggie Rice: It's weird to see you again. Seth: Weird is nice.
Ann: Never date a guy who knows more about your vagina than you do.
Seth: Let's go. Maggie: Where? Seth: Anywhere. Maggie: What'll we do? Seth: Anything.
Maggie: Something happened in that room. I got this jolt that... something bigger is out there. Something bigger than me, bigger than you. Does that sound crazy?
Maggie: Why do you wear the same clothes all the time? Why won't you give me your phone number? Are you married? Seth: No. Maggie: Are you homeless? Seth: No. Maggie: Are you a drummer?
Seth: What's that like? What's it taste like? Describe it like Hemingway. Maggie Rice: Well, it tastes like a pear. You don't know what a pear tastes like? Seth: I don't know what a pear tastes like to you. Maggie Rice: Sweet, juicy, soft on your tongue, grainy like a sugary sand that dissolves in your mouth. How's that? Seth: It's perfect.
Seth: I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it. One.
Seth: Some things are true whether you believe in them or not.
Maggie: No dying yet, Mr Messinger. Not until you give me Seth's phone number.
Maggie: What happened? Seth: Free will.
Nathaniel Messinger: (to Seth) I can't see you, but I know you're there.
Seth: The little girl asked if she could be an angel. Cassiel: They all want wings. Seth: I never know what to say. Cassiel: Tell them the truth. Angels aren't human. We were never human. Seth: What if I just make her a little pair of wings out of paper?
Seth: Why do people cry? Maggie: What do you mean? Seth: I mean... what happens physically? Maggie: Well... umm... tear ducts operate on a normal basis to lubricate and protect the eye and when you have an emotion they overreact and create tears. Seth: Why? Why do they overreact? Maggie: (pause) I don't know. Seth: Maybe... maybe emotion becomes so intense your body just can't contain it. Your mind and your feelings become too powerful... and your body weeps.
Seth: Can I ask you something? Susan: Yes? Seth: What did you like best? Susan: Pyjamas.
Nathaniel Messinger: Seth knows no fear, no pain, no hunger, he hears music in the sunrise. But he'd give it all up, he loves you that much Maggie Rice: I don't understand Nathaniel Messinger: He can fall, he can give up eternity and become... one of us, human
