Touched by an Angel (TV Series)

The Big Bang (1995)

Della Reese: Tess

Quotes 

• Jackson Spears : An eye for an eye; that's what it says in the Bible, right?

  Tess : You will not use the Good Book for your dirty work. God decides on rewards and punishments, not you.

  Jackson Spears : I have the gun. That makes me God.

  Tess : You may have turned your back on God but He's still facing you. Welcoming you.

  Jackson Spears : Oh, here... A religious nut; here we go.

  Tess : You think you're God and *I'm* the religious nut?

• Tess : [looking at Franklin's picture on the $100 bill]  Benji never wore his hair like that.

• Tess : [of money]  I don't know why they put so much faith in that little piece of paper.

• Tess : How much faith do you have?

  Monica : Well, that's a silly question. I'm an angel.

  Tess : Well, what would you do if I told you angels don't have any faith at all?

  Monica : What?

  Tess : Sooner or later every angel finds that out. Sooner or later.

• Tess : Lord, give me patience and give it to me right now. And satisfaction, and make it soon.

• Jackson Spears : You hate me, don't you?

  Tess : No, hate has caused a lot of problems in this world, but it's never solved one yet.

• Jackson Spears : You know, you people crack me up, ya know that? I mean, you're afraid of the dark so you invent this thing and call it faith, and then - pretend to believe what you can't even see.

  Tess : But the reward of faith is that you *see* what you believe.

• Tess : You kept that faith. Or maybe you found it...

  Monica : It wasn't easy.

  Tess : Well, if it was easy, anybody could do it.
