An angel on Earth, a doctor unable to believe, a patient with a secret, a love story made in Heaven.
Never date a man who knows more about your vagina than you do.
— Why do people cry? What happens physically?
— Well. Tear ducts operate on a normal basis to lubricate and protect the eye. When you have an emotion, they overact and create tears.
— Why? Why do they overact?
— I don't know. Maybe... Maybe emotion becomes so intense../your body just can't contain it. Your mind and your feelings become too powerful. Your body weeps.
— What's that like? What's it taste like? Describe it. Like Hemingway.
— Well, it tastes like, um... a pear. You don't know what a pear tastes like?
— I don't know what a pear tastes like to you.
— Can I ask you something?
— Yes.
— What did you like best?
— Pajamas.
— Are there others?
— ...
— Others like you?
— Yeah, they're out there. You see them, but most of the time you just walk on by. Nobody likes to think of the old life. You know, what they gave up.
— Then Why'd you do it?
— My daughter, Ruth... her stupid husband, Frank... and my grandkids. Petie's 4, Hannah's 6. And this is my wife, Teresa.
— Did you... tell her who you were?
— I started to try once or twice. Then I thought, "Why do that to her?"
— Do what?
— It's too much for them. People don't believe in us anymore.
— What about your boyfriend? Do you love him?
— Love? I don't know. What does that mean?
— I was hoping you could tell me.
