[About Wayne's retarded brother, Joey]

Monica:
Joey's my friend.

Wayne:
Joey's everybody's friend. Trouble is he's nobody's responsibility except mine.

Monica:
Responsibility is a privilege. You've been entrusted with a beautiful soul who loves you, who's loyal to you, who'll never hurt you. Why won't you love Joey?

----

Wayne:
You're talking to the wrong man. I've got no faith left.

Monica:
You help Joey find his and I promise you you'll find yours.

Deacon:
You can't give children everything they want, Harry.

Harry:
That's right. I can't give her everything she wants. I can't give her a healthy heart. I can't give her another year to live. I can't even give her another month. But I can give her Christmas.

Monica:
It's hard sometimes, Tess. Knowing the what but not always knowing the why. Knowing more than human beings and less than God.

Tess:
When life keeps you in the dark, baby, that's when you start looking at the stars.

Tess:
There was Balthasar, there was Melchior and there was Gaspar. And the shepherds were just cowering right about here.

Edna:
[Annoyed] Is this from your imagination or from memory?

Tess:
Honey, you'd be surprised what I can remember.

[In front of a painted glass window at the top of a small church]

Tess:
People have been painting pictures and writing songs and making movies about Heaven and all ever since they could breathe. [Chuckles] They never come close.

[Monica performs a small miracle while they both watch the people going in. They observe a little girl going in singing]

Monica:
Now, Serena's music. That comes pretty close to the real thing.

Tess:
Yeah, she and Johann Sebastian have a lot in common. You give them a little glimpse of Heaven and they're off and singing. But some people, you can put Heaven right smack in front of 'em and they still can't see anything to sing about.

Barbara:
 :[looking at an old family portrait] I've never really liked that picture of the Colonel.

Amelia:
That's too bad because I got such a good deal on him at the garage sale.

Monica:
Don't be afraid. I'm an angel.

Harrison:
W-what does He have to say? God.

Monica:
Well, He says: "Big deal." So your name isn't Harrison Theobridge Archibald the IVth. Big deal. God loves you and He knows who you are no matter what your name is.

Harrison:
I've been living my life as a lie.

Monica:
Why? Would you have done anything different if your name had been Rohass? Would you have been any less of a person? Would you have loved Barbara less? Harrison, who you are is not your name or your family. Who you are is more essential than that. It comes from God. And what you make of yourself? That's what you give back to God.

Harrison:
Maybe God knows who I am but...

Monica:
I have something for you. [shows him a photo he took with his mother, wife and Luis] This is a family. Not people who share a name or a lineage or a background. But people who belong together because they love each other.

Monica:
You know, I've been here two weeks and all I've had to do is to order the perfect chairs, the perfect flowers, the perfect napkins...

Tess:
Patience is a virtue. Virtue is a grace. Put them all together and they make a happy face.

Monica:
Tess, what am I doing here? The Founders Banquet is in two days. Once it's over, then what?

Tess:
I think that's what everybody in this house is asking themselves. The people in this place have nothing to look forward to except the next big party or the next disappointment. Maybe something less than their idea of perfect is exactly what this house needs.

Amelia:
Has my daughter-in-law explained the situation?

Monica:
Yes, I understand that you're hosting a very large function here.

Amelia:
Functions, my dear, are held at church basements. This is an event.

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:
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.

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.

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.

[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.

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.

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.

[the day of the big game] Tess, any last minute pointers?

Tess:
Well, same thing I told the Babe. Hit far and run fast.

That's it?

Well, I never got any complaints outta him.

Monica:
Sometimes we have to stand up and fight for what we believe in. And sometimes, it takes even more courage to stay put. To hold your ground and refuse to be bullied.

Peter:
It doesn't always stop it.

Monica:
No. It doesn't change the bully. But it changes you.

Tess:
I told you he needed an umbrella but I didn't tell you to hit him on the head with it.

Monica:
I know. I got angry.

Tess:
Well, anger's not so bad. You just gotta be careful where you put it. So now you're sitting out here contemplating the infinite, huh?

Monica:
And what it takes to run it. [sigh] I can't see the plan, Tess. I know I'm supposed to be doing something but I don't know what. He said so many awful things.

Tess:
You see, that anger's clouding his brain. Forget what he said. What did you hear?

Monica:
I heard fear. Fear that his life has been a waste. He knows that he's dying. And he knows that he's dying by himself.

Tess:
Oh, honey, we all die by ourselves. It's living by ourselves that hurts. What is he leaving behind that will last?

Monica:
I don't know.

Tess:
Some of our best living is done by the people we leave behind.
