Sydney quotes from Touched by an Angel

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.

Monica

Sydney, I'm sorry. I didn't realize.

Sydney

What?

Monica

That your mother has a drinking problem.

Sydney

My mother doesn't have a drinking problem. My mother is an alcoholic.

Sydney

Do you have any idea what it's like to watch your own mother self-destruct? I love her. She's ... She's my mother but I've given up.

Monica

No! You must never give up, Sydney.

Sydney

You know ... You know what the really hard thing is? It's that I know. I know what I need to do. I know what it's gonna take. It's just I can't do it alone.

Monica

Well, then. I'll help you.
