Father Crowley:
Gabrielle, the Church is pretty clear about this. If you commit a mortal sin and you die without repenting, you go to hell.

Gabrielle Solis:
Aren't you just a ball of fun? [pauses, sighs] So, if I confess, it will clean the slate, right?

Father Crowley:
Not only that, if you want God's forgiveness, you have to be truly sorry and you have to promise not to commit the sin again.

Gabrielle Solis:
So what happens if I repent... later? Like, say, when I'm 75?

Father Crowley:
I wouldn't recommend waiting. What if you die before then?

Gabrielle Solis:
Well, let's say I *don't* die? I... do yoga, I eat well. If I wait, does my repenting still count?

Father Crowley:
If you mean it, yes.

Gabrielle Solis:
Thank you, Father Crowley. [grabs purse] You have been a tremendous comfort. Um, I will let you do your thing. [quickly walks away]

Father Crowley:
Gabrielle, [Gabrielle stops and turns to face him] you know we are all responsible for the choices we make. Don't you wanna be a good person?

Gabrielle Solis:
What I want is to be happy.

Father Crowley:
That's the answer of a selfish child.

Gabrielle Solis:
I know.
