Monica (beating Smokey at pool):
Okey-dokey, Smokey. Four ball, side pocket. And the six ball left corner, not forgetting my favorite, number seven, in that corner.

(She makes the shot)

Robin:
Whoa!

Monica:
One and three, into the corner, into the two, into the five, side pocket, kissing the eight.

Smokey:
What are you, delusional? The cue ball's blocked by the eight!

(She makes the shot)

Smokey:
Where did you ever learn to play like that?

Monica:
Well, I once worked in a pool hall as a sort of security guard.

[At a disco, watching people dance]

Tess:
[Cringing] I can't help but wonder which one of those kids I'm gonna see later in traction.

Monica:
They're expressing themselves, Tess.

Tess:
Whatever happened to the gavotte? And the minuet, you remember the minuet? 1-2-3, 1-2-3, bow and curtsey. Kept the hormones in a state of perpetual anticipation. That's my kind of thing. (Looks at Charles' dancing) 'Course, in his case, maybe he oughta do a little less anticipating and a little more expressing.

Tess:
Nothing's really wrong with the man's heart. Except he's terrified of letting it out again.

Monica:
Again?

Tess:
Well, what if you ran away from home and nobody noticed?

Monica:
What if you gave away your heart and nobody cared?

Monica:
All your life, you've been afraid of life. And if you haven't convinced yourself that you were dying then you'd decide you're too fat or too short or too anything as long as it could convince you to hide. But God made you, Charles, and He knew what He was doing. You're not too anything, except almost too late.

Monica:
She's late.

Tess:
There's no such thing as late. Destiny picks its own time.

Monica:
What do I do when it happens, Tess?

Tess:
Destiny doesn't happen. It arrives. And when it does, you either batten down the hatches and wait 'til it blows over or you swing open the gates and invite it in to supper.

Monica:
I wish it had a way of showing itself so she'd know what she's dealing with.

Tess:
[Slightly exasperated] Then it wouldn't be destiny.

Monica:
And I wouldn't have a job?

Tess:
You go, girl! Now you're getting it. [A wind blows] Hark.

Monica:
Hark?

Tess:
[Shrugs] I miss the old days.

Monica:
Why do you suppose people take pictures?

Megan:
Well, deep down, I think it's our way on declaring war on death. You take a picture of something and if it goes away, you still have a piece of it.

Monica:
It seems to me that it's better to have all of it for a while than a piece of it forever.

Monica:
This is what you call an unexpected snow. One moment, the sky is clear and the next moment, it's falling down. Now you can run inside and hide or you can become part of it and let it change you.

[About Adam's Thanksgiving "assignment", the turkey]'

Tess:
You said you wanted to help out.

Adam:
Yes, but it's a little like inviting an accountant to dinner and then asking him to balance your checkbook.

Megan:
[To Jack] I always knew you had a wife. I just never realized you were married.

Megan:
All this time I told myself we had something special. But tonight when he looked at me and walked up the stairs with her, I realized: "My God! I'm just the other woman." I'm his secret. He's been keeping me in a room I didn't even know I was in.

Monica:
But you walked into that room all by yourself.

Megan:
I did the one thing I swore I'd never do. It's just that... after a while, you spend enough nights alone, you go to too many other people's weddings and baby showers, you spend too many holidays at other people's houses and you want just a little piece of happiness for yourself. Just for a while, you know. Just so that I could say someday that somebody wanted me. That somebody thought I was special.

Monica:
Megan, wanting to love someone and wanting to be loved in return, these things are good and right. But wanting them from someone else's husband is wrong.

Megan:
He's not supposed to be married! He's supposed to be with me! God's made a mistake.

Monica:
No, when things get this ugly and painful, God has nothing to do with them.

Megan:
Well, then I wish He'd tell me what to do now.

Monica:
I think He's just about to. [It starts to snow] Megan, when you cry, God cries with you. But He can't wipe away your tears unless you let Him.

Megan:
The road I took yesterday. It wasn't an accident. [Monica shakes her head] And this place...?

Monica:
This house was created for you, for this night, this moment. Megan, I'm an angel and this is your unexpected snow.

Megan:
Well, I can't! I can't give him up and I won't! You go tell that to God. Why can't He just let me have this?

Monica:
Because there's better love for you.

Megan:
Where?

Monica:
I don't know where. And I don't know when. The only thing I do know is that the kind of love worth waiting for, you won't have to lie for or steal or keep it hidden in a box to visit on weekends.

Megan:
Well, it may not be a great love but it's my love.

Monica:
No, it isn't. It belongs to Susanna.

Tess:
Brace yourself, Jack, 'cause I don't have a lot of time to pussyfoot around with you. I'm an angel sent by God. Now you can accept that or not but what you will accept when I'm finished is the concept of fidelity: lock, stock and barrel. Do I make myself clear? [Silence] I'll take that as a yes.

[Later, on the swing, in Jack's old honeymoon spot]

Jack:
Pretty soon, we stopped finding things to talk about. And after a while, we just drifted apart.

Tess:
When two people are on a journey, there will be miles when they fall silent. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't be traveling together.

Jack:
The last time I sat on this swing, I was scared to death. Susanna was inside, asleep and I spent half the night just terrified that I've given my life over to another person. One person. Forever. Someone I loved so much that I just couldn't imagine her not being in my life. Maybe that's what scared me the most. I think that's finally why I had an affair. The more you invest in one person, the more you have to lose if you lose her.

Tess:
So you just decided to spread your wonderful self all around, huh? Gave you an easy way out the back door, doesn't it?

Jack:
I actually read about this at the dentist's office. It's called the male fear of death syndrome.

Tess:
[Sarcastically] Oh, that's what you got?

Jack:
That's what it feels like.

Tess:
Well, get over it.

Jack:
Look, I'm not proud of all this. But that journey that you're talking about? I just can't seem to find my way back to the road.

Tess:
You stand up, honey. And you walk. And if you ever feel like straying again, remember this moment. You can always come back to this moment.

Monica:
What difference does a name make? A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet, right?

Tess:
Yeah, but the problem is most people think more about the name than the rose.

Amelia:
Her references were impeccable, Barbara. She did all the biggest parties last year. You know the Polo Club Christmas Party? The big Charity Bazaar? Just seemed so nice too. Not the sort of person who'd just run off and leave you in the lurch while she goes somewhere to have appendicitis.

Monica:
(crying) I don't know why these things have happened to you but it's not because of anything you've done. And I have to confess that... You see, there was somewhere deep inside my heart that I thought maybe you... maybe you had done something to get here. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. It matters.

Pete:
(hesitating) I forgive you. [Monica changes back into her angelic form] My God....

Monica:
God loves you, Peter Jacob Taylor. I have failed you but He will not. He wants you to know that He is going to take you and Julie all the way to Colorado. He will walk with you all the way. But it's up to you to take the first step.

Matthew needs you to forgive him and he needs to know you love him not because he's the best but because he's your son.

Tess:
Any boy that studies that much is looking for answers that he cannot find in a book.

Monica:
So quiet and well-behaved. But there's something else too. A sadness.

Tess:
He's so caught up in what his father wants him to be that he hasn't had to time to find out who he really is.

Monica:
His father is so proud of him.

Tess:
Honey, there is nothing more dangerous than a man taking pride in the wrong thing.

Tess:
Did you ever hear the story about the man who was afraid of the lions? Well, he was so scared he ran and he ran and he ran and he kept looking behind to see if a lion was catching up to him. And he looked over his shoulder so much, he didn't see where he was going. And one day, guess what he ran smack dab into?

Monica:
A lion.

[About Sophie's husband's abusive behavior]

Sophie:
You never know what direction it's coming from, sometimes from the underpass, sometimes from the grassy knoll, sometimes they just push you out the window.

Pete:
You're dreaming the wrong kind of dreams, man.

Zack:
What's that supposed to mean?

Pete:
You can't waste your time dreaming about the past. You gotta stick to dreaming about the future.

Zack:
But being a Marine was the one thing I did best. I belonged to something. That's who I was.

Pete:
And what are you now?

Zack:
I don't know.

Pete:
I know. You're a guy who can't even think about next week because you're busy just trying to get through today. But thinking like that, that's what's gonna keep you on the streets. You gotta have a dream bigger than where you're gonna sleep tonight.
