ACT I
6:43
"3:16": -- of the world.
"JOHN": When angels die --
"3:16": -- it's the end.
CREWS: Just because the wings were fake doesn't mean she wasn't a real angel.
REESE: Isn't there an "off" button?
CREWS: I know she wasn't an angel-on-a-cloud-with-a-harp angel, but maybe she was an angel in the way we all might be angels.
REESE: We all might be angels? Crews, let me tell you something. You know, there may be a few things that I don't know about myself, but I'm sure I'm not an angel.
CREWS: See, that is exactly the kind of humble thing an angel might say. [Sticks an angel figurine on the dashboard. Reese pulls it off and tosses it aside.] That was very hostile.
CREWS: [To himself] Maybe she isn't an angel after all.
Where does one get the _Golden Field Guide to Spotting Angels_ anyway?
I can't tell a Power from a Principality from a Throne or Dominion.
Some angels are supposed to be avenging ones, so he's got lots to choose from.
ACT II
17:50
WILLENS: I, I own a company that makes industrial glues and adhesives. We moved over fourteen million dollars worth of product last year.
CREWS: That's a lot of glue.
WILLENS: Well, it's what holds us together. [Groans.] That's our slogan. "It's what holds us together."
I suppose it did. The glue made the money that held him and his wife together.
CREWS: [Reese grabs at the dashboard angel. It stays stuck.] Industrial glue. It's what holds us together.
I had to wonder if the writer started with the idea of the dashboard angel in his head, and worked his way back to the slogan, the glue, and therefore what the profession of the widower had to be in order to get the gag to work.
JULIA: Roman is not like the rest of us.
CREWS: Why is that? //said not in the usual cop cadence but thoughtfully w emphasis on Why
JULIA: Roman has no fear.
Yeah, yeah, he's Keyser Soze. They're building him up into a cable villain on a broadcast show. Unless they're willing to back that up with his deeds, it just sounds like the hype it is. they back it up pretty well, don't they? with his crimes listed later in this episode, then his return appearance next season, then even being the final enemy that Charlie confronts in last episode of the series.
wh stays is my mind is Julia's other line here: When you reach out for Roman, Roman is not there. //MACAVITY! Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity. And when you reach the scene of the crime, Macavity's not there. (and I do not see that *that* was backed up, other than that he 'cannot be held' ~ by the police ~ bcs he is an fbi informant protected by them.
CREWS: A little freaky, right?
REESE: A little bit.
These lines didn't scan for me at first. 'scan' - I like that. I guess they meant that, as they entered Roman's club, they expected it to be lively and open for business as usual instead of empty and shut down.
ACT III
33:54
ROMAN: [To Charlie] Twelve years in prison, and you're still walking upright. Just between us, you killed that family, didn't you?
I gotta respect a guy who does his homework, but if Roman really thinks Charlie did the murders, he can't be as good at reading people as he thinks he is.
ROMAN: [To Dani] How's that rehab working for you? Down time's the hardest. You have nothing to do. The muscles get all twitchy. You can taste it in the back of your throat.
REESE: Shut up.
ROMAN: Got hooked working undercover.
REESE: Shut your mouth.
ROMAN: Took a junkie lover, too. Whatever happened to him?
[Charlie bangs on the table.]
...
CREWS: It was a pleasure meeting you.
ROMAN: And you, Detective. What if it was one of them [Indicates squad room.] who set you up?
A lot of homework. nice. Evidently, Roman was just baiting Charlie when he said Charlie committed the murders.
CREWS: When Roman said those things, did you want to shoot him?
REESE: Yes.
CREWS: Me too. Did you see yourself shooting him?
REESE: Yes.
CREWS: Me too. You lost your faith because of the guy, not the drugs.
Maybe it's just me, but that was a non sequitur.* Most of the people that I've met who lost their faith did so at a younger age, and not because of a lover or drugs. But I guess we're supposed to take it as a given that Charlie's got x-ray eyes that see into the soul. yeah. but*: I think there was a segue: from how angry she got (Did you want to shoot him?) to his understanding that the sore spot was the 'junkie lover' not the addiction. even if that wasn't the cause of 'losing her faith' - putting away her cross - it being a sore spot means she lost some faith because of him.
MAN: I've called the police.
CREWS: I am the police.
Moment of consciousness for the self? right- it's said thoughtfully again (as Charlie says most things, wh is m of why I enjoy the show) and to his reflection in the mirror, or warning to others listening? I could make a case either way.
