Quotes5

  • Tess: You remember that man who lived around here about two, three-hundred years ago, got lost in a blizzard
  • Monica: Yes. Yes, I do. I led 'im to a cave.
  • Tess: He spent that winter ice-fishing and concocting stories to tell to his tribe when he got back home.
  • Monica: I remember. He told them later that it was the most wonderful season of his life. He said that he had met himself that year.
  • Tess: Hm... People too busy to meet themselves anymore. Everybody's faxing and modeming and onlining and imputing and downloading and overnighting... You don't like it? Change the channel. Push the button. Escape. Delete. You know, you can say anything to anybody, anywhere in the world, in seconds. But it still takes as much time as it ever took to know a soul... mend a broken heart, or... give birth to a child. In this world of change, some things just don't. And children like her - they get lost in the in-between.
  • Tess: I'll transfer. Back to, Revelations and Annunciations. At least there what I said was taken seriously.
  • Tess: Well, taking people home to their reward can wear a soul down. Especially if you feel misunderstood.
  • Tess: I wasn't created yesterday, you know.
  • [last lines]
  • Monica: I made the pawnbroker an offer he couldn't refuse.
  • Tess: O, Lord, here it comes.
  • Monica: I took care of his siattica. Is that wrong, Tess?
  • Monica: Father, why will you not help me with this child?
  • [Monica laughs]
