Michael Page #6

Synopsis: Frank Quinlan and Huey Driscoll, two reporters from a Chicago-based tabloid, along with Dorothy Winters, an 'angel expert', are asked to travel to rural Iowa to investigate a claim from an old woman that she shares her house with a real, live archangel named Michael. Upon arrival, they see that her claims are true - but Michael is not what they expected: he smokes, drinks beer, has a very active libido and has a rather colourful vocabulary. In fact, they would never believe it were it not for the two feathery wings protruding from his back. Michael agrees to travel to Chicago with the threesome, but what they don't realise is that the journey they are about to undertake will change their lives forever.

I take a breath, I even opened

my mouth a second time.

Nothing.

As far as I'm concerned,

it never happened.

But we saw it.

We were there.

It never happened.

What are you up to now?

I'm back on the novel.

If it didn't happen,

where's your coat?

What is this? If it happened,

you know what?

Then I must believe

that some day I'll be walking...

...down the street, and some

unknown force will make me...

...turn right instead of turning left...

...and at that moment...

...a car will...

...come around the corner

with the woman of my dreams in it...

...and blow a flat...

...right there next to

where I'm standing.

It never happened.

Need any help?

- No. Thanks.

- No. We're cool.

Michael, wait!

What are you doing here?

I live here.

I live two blocks from here.

I was on my way home and...

...I thought I saw...

He came around this corner.

That corner.

I love you, Dorothy.

I love you.

Marry me.

Marry me, please.

Marry me, Dorothy.

Oh, my darling Dorothy,

will you marry me?

Let's go home.

You know, Pansy,

I invented marriage.

- Michael.

- Well, I did.

Before that you should have seen it.

Everybody was so mixed up

they didn't know what to do.

So I said, "Have a ceremony. "

Let's go home.

Do you smell something?

There's a bakery near here.
