So Called Angels (1994)

Bess Armstrong: Patty Chase

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]
