| Plot: | New York cop Mike Riley and his suspicious partner Dennis are amused to see old waiter Artie Venzuela spoil him. But Artie isn't gay, he 'stalks' Mike as presumed reincarnation of his late wife, desperate for closure, while unable to connect with his own adult son. Mike's Latino fiancée Nina Vasquez dumps him for suffocating jealousy, mainly over-protective (professionally deformed) misunderstandings, but neither can miss the other. Quiet block neighbor Jules Calvert can't handle the holidays and craves the only humanly warm Christmas he ever spent, in hospital, enough to have his arm broken just hoping for a reenactment. Terminal priest Charlie Boyd interacts as patient and helpful spirit with social cripple Rose Collins, who can't cope with life, let alone care for her apathetic Alzheimer-patient ma. |

Quotes

Charlie: I don't wanna be alone when I die. Rose: I like to think my life matters. Charlie: Oh, your life matters, you've touched other people's lives in ways you don't even realize. Rose: How do you know that? Charlie: Cause you've touched my life. Charlie: You saved me Rose. I was wondering where God was and then the next thing you know, there you are at the bedside of a complete stranger telling him you love him was such meaning. And then I knew God was there in that room, with you. Charlie: Your mother wants you to live your life Rose. Rose: You don't know my mother. Charlie: She knows you love her and you're there for her. Rose: Why are you doing this? Charlie: Because she told me to tell you. Rose: That's not funny, you're scaring me. Charlie: No Rose, listen to me, I don't have much time. Rose: No I... Charlie: Rose, please listen to me. Rose: I don't want to listen. Charlie: Listen to what I have to say. Rose: I'm not gonna listen. Get out of the house, I don't want you here anymore. Charlie: I'm not gonna leave until you hear what I have to say. Rose: No. Charlie: She spoke to me last night. Rose: I'm calling the police. Charlie: I know it is hard to believe. Rose: I mean it Charlie, get out. Charlie: That's what she wants. Rose: I'm dialling. Charlie: I know that would make her happy. Rose: Happy? Happy? My mother doesn't even know she's my mother. She doesn't hear me, she doesn't see me! Do you understand what I'm saying? When you look into her eyes you see absolutely nothing, she isn't there, do you understand what I'm saying? I'm watching my mother die bit by bit. So don't you tell me about my mother, get out of here! Just go! Charlie: I love you Rose. Artie: I thought I was never gonna see you again. Mike: Hi. Long time no see. Should I get the nurse? Artie: No. What are you still doing here? Mike: I was waiting for you to wake up. Artie: Thanks so much for helping me out. I'm - I'm very, very grateful. Mike: Your welcome. Artie, listen to me. I want you to know something. I forgive you. Artie: Huh? Mike: You understand? It's over. I forgive you for everything. [Artie starts to cry and Mike kisses his forehead, sniffling as well, then he sees Artie's son, Paul] Looks like there's someone here to see you. [leaves] |
