Angela quotes from Touched by an Angel

Angela

Let me tell you something, Lundy. I lived with my father my whole life and I never knew him because he was too afraid to get to know me. Don't make the same mistake he did.

Angela

I love your accent. You must be from the old country, huh?

Monica

Yes, Very, very old.

Angela

It's funny. You seem to have all this wisdom but you don't know how to make a cup of coffee.

Monica

That's the spice of life, I think. Everyone's on a different schedule. Maybe this is the night I'm supposed to learn how to make coffee. And maybe this is the night you're supposed to tell Carter the truth.

Angela

You saved me. Are you...?

Monica

I am an angel.

Angela

Like... Like a real angel? Sent by...?

Monica

Sent by God.

Angela

I knew there was something about you. Something so strong. Something so fearless. Something...Something I wanted to be. [Starts to cry]

Monica

Shh...Look at me. Look at me, Angela. You are strong. You had the courage to make a sacrifice to save someone that you loved. And you taught me a lesson today. That love erases fear. For when I saw you out there, I would have dived into the deepest ocean to bring you back.

Angela

It might not have been such a good idea.

Monica

You made the choice, Angela. You want to live. You just don't want to live like this.

Angela

But I can't change the past....Can you?

Monica

[Shakes her head] But all you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has all worked together to bring you to this very moment. And it is this moment right now that you can choose to make everything new.

Angela

You know something about almost dying?

Monica

No. actually, I don't.

Angela

All of a sudden, there's not a whole lot more to be afraid of.
