Quotes
-
Patty Chase : [Patty arrives at the church, looking for Angela] Angela!
[Joy walks up]
Patty Chase : Oh, never mind.
[stammering]
Patty Chase : Uh... I... my daughter has boots just like those. You see, I'm trying to find my daughter, and um...
Angel : [sympathetically] I know... because I'm no different than her.
Patty Chase : [shaking her head] No, no... um. You don't understand.
Angel : Sure I do. I had a mom. Clean sheets, all of that. Another toss of the dice, I could be in her shoes, she could be in mine.
Patty Chase : [slowly realizing] There but for the grace of God...
Angel : Go I.
[pauses, knowing Patty knows her secret]
Angel : Go ahead, ask me.
Patty Chase : [awed] Why did you leave home?
Angel : My mother and I had a fight. The kind of fight where it seems the fight is having you.
[pauses again]
Angel : So what else do you want to know?
Patty Chase : How did you die?
Angel : [long pause] I froze.
Patty Chase : [gazes skyward] Oh God... please help me.
[she closes her eyes then opens them again to find that Joy has gone]

Angel : [Angela hears singing from down the hall, she follows it to the music room, where Joy is playing her guitar... Angela listens to her play until she's finished] Oh sorry.
Angela : [awed] No no, keep going. I mean...
Angel : I was just leaving.
Angela : 'Cause of me? I'm not even supposed to be in here.
Angel : Me neither. I hang out here sometimes. It's funny... before, I'd never go to school. And now that I don't go to school, I'm always here.
[smiles]
Angela : [smiling back warmly] What was that song? That was... beautiful.
Angel : It's just this song I fool around with. I'll probably be working on it forever.
[pauses]
Angel : I hate to go back out there. I can never get warm... it's 'cause of my shoes.
[she holds up her foot; Angela sees a large hole in the sole of her boot]
Angel : See? They're worn clean through.
[she starts to head for the door, Angela follows her]
Angel : I had a decent pair, but somebody swiped them.
Angela : Seriously?
Angel : [nods] While I was sleeping.
[beat]
Angel : You're Angela, right? You're a friend of Rickie's?
Angela : [bewildered] You know Rickie?
Angel : [nods] Uh huh.
Angela : Wait... where is he? I've been really...
Angel : I know. You don't have to worry. I've been looking out for him.
Angela : [bell rings] Oh, thank God.
