Juliana Hatfield: Angel

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] 

• Angel : [Angela hears singing from down the hall, she follows it to the music room, where Joy is playing her guitar... Angela listens to her play until she's finished]  Oh sorry.

  Angela : [awed]  No no, keep going. I mean...

  Angel : I was just leaving.

  Angela : 'Cause of me? I'm not even supposed to be in here.

  Angel : Me neither. I hang out here sometimes. It's funny... before, I'd never go to school. And now that I don't go to school, I'm always here.

  [smiles] 

  Angela : [smiling back warmly]  What was that song? That was... beautiful.

  Angel : It's just this song I fool around with. I'll probably be working on it forever.

  [pauses] 

  Angel : I hate to go back out there. I can never get warm... it's 'cause of my shoes.

  [she holds up her foot; Angela sees a large hole in the sole of her boot] 

  Angel : See? They're worn clean through.

  [she starts to head for the door, Angela follows her] 

  Angel : I had a decent pair, but somebody swiped them.

  Angela : Seriously?

  Angel : [nods]  While I was sleeping.

  [beat] 

  Angel : You're Angela, right? You're a friend of Rickie's?

  Angela : [bewildered]  You know Rickie?

  Angel : [nods]  Uh huh.

  Angela : Wait... where is he? I've been really...

  Angel : I know. You don't have to worry. I've been looking out for him.

  Angela : [bell rings]  Oh, thank God.
