Quotes 

• Billy Alan Thomas : [during his summation]  Last month, two people who never met got married on national television.

  [walks over to defense table quietly talks to Ally] 

  Billy Alan Thomas : Did I imagine that or did that really happen?

  Ally McBeal : That really happened.

• Ally McBeal : Could I... uh could I have your attention please. About 40 minutes ago, um Billy Thomas passed away.

  [pause, stunned silence in the office] 

  Ally McBeal : Uh he went quiet - - quietly and peaceful

  [walks away] 

  Ally McBeal : .

• Ally McBeal : [Ally giving Billy's eulogy]  I've heard it said, that as you're about to pass into the next world, the final truth of this world... hits you. And the last thing Billy spoke about, right before he sat down in the courthouse, was love. How it was all that mattered. He um... He seemed so lost in these last few months, but looking at him in the courthouse right before he died, he... He suddenly seemed so... found. He um, said to me, recently, he said, 'It's stronger than death.' And I wasn't sure what he meant. And now I am. When we were little, we would talk about this day... Well actually, we would sing about it. He would sing this song: 'And when I die... and when I'm gone... there'll be one child born... in a world, to carry on.' And that child... that child has big shoes to fill.

  [Ally looks up as if speaking to Billy directly and continues] 

  Ally McBeal : Billy Thomas, With all of my heart... Forever.

  [Ally then returns to addressing the rest of the mourners, and smiling, she says:] 

  Ally McBeal : Oh, and uh... As for Heaven?

  [she then slams her fist into the palm of her hand, and the opening of "A New Man in Town" explodes into the church as the choir rises to sing and the mourners begin to dance and clap, celebrating the life of Billy Thomas]
