"I'm sitting by the side of the road

in the middle of nowhere

"I don't know where I'm going...

"... but I hope I know it

when I get there

"Thinking about how

love never works out

"But I guess that's the way it goes

"And how this story ends

only Heaven knows

"I always thought there was an angel...

"... watching over me

"But even angels sometimes

make mistakes...

"... as you will see

"'Cause I've had my share

of bad love affairs

"In fact, I married three

"So here's my little story...

"... about Miles, Ralph, and Bradley

"Miles made me smile...

"... till he stole my Camaro

"Ralph made me laugh till I cried

"And Bradley...

"... I loved him madly

"But his tires were bald...

"... and they went flat

"So did our love and that was that

"Now I'm sitting in the middle

of nowhere by the side of the road

"One of these days I'll find true love

"And learn how to say no

"I know in the past...

"... my love didn't last

"As I guess this story shows

"Where was my angel then...

"... only Heaven knows

"Where was my angel then...

"... only Heaven knows"

- I went to college. I was published.

- You were?

I was. It was like a yearly

thing of poems, you know.

It's great. That's great.

It's really great.

It's cold.

I'm in there, this is Huey's room.

Where are you?

I'm in four.

Where is that?

It's up there.

- Where exactly?

- On the corner.

Right there?

You're directly over my room.

You were great.

Really great.

It was...

- Good night.

- Good night.

It was...

"Something in your eyes...

"... makes me want to lose myself

"Makes me want to lose myself...

"... in your arms"

What are you doing tonight?

Not much.

Want to come to my room?

Why don't you come to mine?

That's a good idea.

"If you knew...

"... how lonely...

"... my life has been

"And how low...

"... I've felt...

"... so long

"If you knew...

"... how I wanted someone...

"... to come along

"And change my life... "

- I must tell you something.

- I know.

- I'm not-

- Ever falling in love with anyone again.

I know.

"Feels like home to me

"Feels like I'm all the way back...

"... where I come from"

Come here, Sparky.

Come here.

Wings?

Far out.

Some angel.

I needed the job.

Good morning.

What exactly are we

talking about here?

At the paper. That's what

I tried to tell you last night.

I don't make excuses

for working in there...

...there's no reason for you to.

Here's a confession.

You want to hear a confession?

Yours?

I needed the job too.

No one'd go near me after

what happened at the Tribune.

What did happen?

I hit the managing editor.

Why?

He fired this really sweet old guy

who'd been there for, like, 27 years...

Really?

Nope.

He changed my lead.

You hit him because

he changed your lead?

It was late. I was drunk.

It makes no difference where I work.

That's a lie.

Bet you've got a half-finished

novel in your desk.

She got the desk.

Are you keeping something from me?

I'm not ethical.

Just because you write about

angels for a supermarket tabloid?

Are you keeping some

angel experience from me?

If you are I forgive you.

I think I could forgive you anything.

This was not a mistake.

Don't say it was a mistake.

I couldn't bear it.

It's going well.

It's a difficult case, though.

To give a man back his heart.

Listen.

Listen to the earth.

I'm going to miss everything so much.

Remember, Sparky...

No matter what they say...

...you can never have too much sugar.

Good morning, Michael.

Good morning, Sparky.

No, he's all right.

Oh, I killed him.

- It's not your fault.

- It's all my fault.

I'm so sorry, Huey.

I'm so sorry.

You didn't do anything wrong.

Do something.

It isn't my area.

What is your area?

Explain it to me.

Somebody tell me exactly

what is his area.

I don't know anything about his area.

That's what I meant to tell you.

What?

I don't know anything about angels.

I'm a dog trainer.

That's why I was hired.

To train Sparky?

And then after...

...we screw up with the angel

and Malt gets the dog...

I get Huey's job.

I didn't know you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry too.

Now bring him back to life.

Don't give me any of that "it isn't my

area" stuff. Bring him back to life...

...or go back where you came from.

Bring him back.

Angel.

I don't have much longer.

We're here, Michael. We're here.

Look up.

"The Sears Tower in Chicago

is the world's tallest building.

"It stands 1,454 feet

above street level...

"... contains enough concrete...

"... for an eight-lane highway. "

Quinlan, I'm so sorry.

I didn't do what I came for.

I didn't finish.

I'm so sorry.

Good-bye.

Good-bye, Michael.

Thank you for everything.

For letting me have a little fun.

Good-bye, my battling friend.

Good-bye world's biggest angel.

Godspeed.

- You're late.

- We know.

Where's the angel?

It was a hoax.

- A hoax?

- A hoax.

Definitely.

- He had detachable wings.

- And a halo made out of pipe cleaners.

And he smelled of cookies.

Just kidding.

I win.

You're fired...

...and I get the dog.

Come on, my little sausage.

You come to your daddy.

You bastard.

Listen.

Don't hate me. I love you.

Get the mutt out.

Like that dog can be gotten out.

Like he can do anything.

That is the worst dog...

- ... I've ever met.

- You said you could train any dog.

She was wrong.

So I'm stuck with these two

because of a dog?

You're stuck with Mr. Driscoll,

not with me.

We met a guy with a 2-headed chicken.

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

Get off.

Whatever I said, don't...

...don't take it personally.

- You're the best reporter I have.

- I'm out of here.

You're just going to leave?

- We won't talk about it?

- Nope.

Come on.

Talk to me.

Disagree with me.

Argue me out of it.

All right, let's have

a fight. Fight me.

You're the only one

that ever fought with me here.

Who will I fight?

- You must help me out here.

- It isn't my area.

Wait.

I'm sorry.

Please stop.

Stop and talk...

...to me.

I appreciate what you said

up there. I thank you.

- I'll see you around.

- You said...

...you could forgive me anything.

I forgive you.

We had a good time.

What are you so upset about?

It's you.

I remember you.

I thought you were gone.

"I took a trip on a train

"And I thought about you

"I passed a shadowy lane

"And I thought about you"

Good evening.

For our specialties tonight,

we have angelhair pasta...

...with a pomodoro sauce...

...capellini primavera,

it's a melange of vegetables...

...over angelhair pasta...

...finally a light sauce with...

...lemon and parsley...

...it's tossed...

...with angelhair pasta.

- Anything else?

- Yes. We want...

...one pumpkin nut muffin and...

A piece of angel food cake.

They don't have angel food cake.

Do you?

"And what did I do...

"... I thought about you"

So, did you...

...ever tell anyone about...?

I was going to.

I couldn't wait to get home

to tell Valerie.

And then I opened my mouth...

...and the words wouldn't come out.
