Simon
I know why you left your faith on that floor.
Simon
Oh, Gabriel. When was it that you lost your grace?
Gabriel
See you, kids. Study your math. Key to the universe!
Thomas
Have you ever noticed in the Bible that whenever God wanted someone
punished, or whenever God needed a killing, He sent an angel? Did you
ever wonder what a creature like that must be like? The whole of
existence spent praising your God with one wing dipped in blood? Would
you ever want to see an angel?
Katherine
Why?
Gabriel
I'm an angel. I kill firstborns while their mothers watch. I turn
cities into salt. I even, when I feel like it, rip the souls from
little girls. And the one thing you can count on, from now to kingdom
come, is never understanding why.
Lucifer
Humans, and how I love you talking monkeys for this, know more about
war and treachery of the spirit than any angel. Gabriel is well aware
of this, and has found a way to steal the blackest soul on Earth to
fight for him.
Thomas
I had a voice, once, Katherine.
Gabriel
Eternity. Here. In that sagging skinsuit. Or one more day with me.
Rachel, brokenly
Why?
Gabriel
I can't drive. But I can wait. Until the stars burn out, for you to
make up your mind.
