Quotes 

• Monica : Every day is a chance to start over, my friend.

• Judge : Ms. Monica Doe? You have no last name?

  Monica : Uh, not officially, Your Honor.

• Monica : Anywhere we can get a cup of coffee?

  Jake Stone : I didn't think that angels drank coffee.

• Jake Stone : Are you crazy?

  Monica : Maybe. Maybe I am.

• Monica : There's no greater love than to give your life for your friend.

• Monica : It's you who have forgotten who God is. He would never turn His back on you. Nothing, not death, or life, or war; not the past, the present, or the future; no one, no creature on this earth can ever separate you from God's love. And nobody knows that better than an angel.

• Jake Stone : It's a miracle.

  Monica : They happen every day.

• Monica : States, borders, countries... It's such a human thing.

• Monica : I don't expect you to believe me, but I really am an angel. And I thought I had to prove that, but proving it doesn't matter. I just have to behave like one.

• Monica : Just reach up. Reach up like you did for May Ling, and He will take you the rest of the way, I know He will.

• Monica : Maybe I made a mistake, but God is using it to make something wonderful out of this. Maybe it was a mistake that I came here, but now He's given me a new purpose.

  Monica : [reading a dedication plaque]  Dedicated to a man named Jake and an angel named Claire. They served their country, their God, and many children with all they had. May we here do the same.

• Monica : Why is it when you talk to God, you're praying, but when God talks to you, you're nuts?
