Elizabeth quotes from Touched by an Angel

Elizabeth

Want a drink?

Monica

Oh, I'd love a cup of non-fat decaf mocha latte with a little nutmeg on the side.... Or a cup of Joe?

Elizabeth

I got iced tea.

Monica

Well, I haven't worked up to tea yet but how about a nice cup of water?

Elizabeth

I think the last lover I had in Rome was a New Wave director. Now what was his name?

Sydney

For Heaven's sake, Mother!

Elizabeth

Don't give me that holier-than-thou pious look of yours, Sydney. When was the last time you had a lover? Might do you some good, you know.

Monica

[interjecting] A good brisk walk in the morning always does me a lot of good.

Elizabeth

And here it is. The pin from my ejection seat.

Monica

The pilot gave this to you?

Elizabeth

Honey, we lost two wheels in ground fire. There was no way I was going to try to land that thing. He thought it was the least I deserved.

Monica

God loves you.

Elizabeth

Why?

Monica

Because you're Elizabeth. Not Elizabeth the journalist or the prizewinner or the alcoholic but because you're you. God loves you. Elizabeth, this is not who you were created to be. You spent your whole life running and running and trying so hard to catch up to something that was never there for you. But all you've done was go farther and farther away from that precious love that is always there for you. Now you've almost lost that completely.

Elizabeth

[Incomprehensibly, in tears] I'm sorry. I'm sorry! Oh, God, I'm so sorry!! What am I gonna do?

Monica

You just did it.
