Quotes
-
Senior Angel : [voice-over] Hello Joseph, trouble?
Joseph - Angel : [voice-over] Looks like we'll have to send someone down. There are a lot of people asking for help for a man named George Bailey.
Senior Angel : [voice-over] George Bailey? Yes! Tonight's his crucial night. You're right. We'll have to send someone down immediately. Whose turn is it?
Joseph - Angel : [voice-over] That's why I came to see you, sir. It's that clock maker's turn again.
Senior Angel : [chuckles]
[voice-over]
Senior Angel : Oh, Clarence. Hasn't gotten his wings yet, has he?
Joseph - Angel : [voice-over] We passed him up right along. Because, you know sir, he's got the IQ of a rabbit.
Senior Angel : [voice-over] Yes, but he's got the faith of a child. Simple. Joseph, send for Clarence.
Clarence : [voice-over] You sent for me, sir?
Senior Angel : [voice-over] Yes, Clarence. A man down on earth needs our help.
Clarence : [voice-over] Splendid. Is he sick?
Senior Angel : [voice-over] No, worse. He's discouraged. At exactly 10:45 pm Earth time, that man will be thinking seriously about throwing away God's greatest gift.
Clarence : [voice-over] Oh, dear, dear. His life. Then I've only got one hour to dress. What are they wearing now?
Senior Angel : [voice-over] You will spend that hour getting acquainted with George Bailey.
Clarence : [voice-over] Sir, if I should accomplish this mission, I mean... um. Might I perhaps win my wings? I've been waiting for over 200 years now, sir, and people ARE beginning to talk.
Senior Angel : [voice-over] What's that book you've got there?
Clarence : [voice-over] Oh, oh, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
Senior Angel : [voice-over] Clarence, you do a good job with George Bailey and you will get your wings.
