Maggie Rice: I wait all day, just hoping for one more minute with you, and I don t even know you.
Seth: I came to take Mr. Balford... and I saw you. I couldn t take my eyes off you. How you fought for him. And you looked right at me... like I was a man.
Seth: I was there in the stairwell... when you cried for your patient. And I touched you, remember?
Maggie Rice: Why are you doing this?
Seth: Because I m in love with you.
Maggie Rice: Are you here? I want to see you. Let me see you. Just stay. Just stay until I fall a.
Maggie Rice: I don t understand a God who would let us meet, if there s no way we could ever be together.
Seth: I fell.
Ann: Evidently. Off a train?
Seth: I fell in love. Ann, please help me find her.
Maggie Rice: Do you feel that?
Seth: Yes.
Maggie Rice: And that? How s it feel? Tell me what it feels like.

Seth: I know.
Maggie Rice: We were made to fit together.
Seth: Am I too late?
Maggie Rice: Too late?
Seth: Jordan?
Maggie Rice: I couldn t marry Jordan. I m in love with you.
Seth: I always asked the dying what they liked best about living. Wrote it down in my book. This is it. This is what I like best.
Maggie Rice: We have our whole lives together. You and me. Mr. and Mrs. Plate.
Seth: To touch you... and to feel you. To be able to hold your hand right now. Do you know what that means to me? Do you - Do you know how much I love you?
Seth: You re an excellent doctor.
Maggie: How do you know?
Seth: I have a feeling.
Maggie: That s pretty flimsy evidence.
Seth: Close your eyes. It s just for a moment.
[touches her hand]
Seth: What am I doing?
Maggie: You re... touching me.
Seth: Touch. How do you know?
Maggie: Because, I feel it.
Seth: You should trust that. You don t trust it enough.
Seth: Hello Maggie! It s nice to see you again.
Maggie Rice: It s weird to see you again.
Seth: Weird is nice.
Ann: Never date a man who knows more about you
than you do.
Seth: Let s go somewhere.
Maggie: Where?
Seth: I don t care.
Maggie: What do you wanna do?
Seth: Anything.
Maggie: Something happened in my OR. And, I got this-this jolt - I got this feeling that there s something... bigger is out there. There s something bigger than me and bigger than you, and it- Does that sound crazy?
Maggie: Why do you wear the same clothes all the time? Why won t you give me your phone number? Are you married?
Seth: No.
Maggie: Are you homeless?
Seth: No.
Maggie: Are you a drummer?
Seth: What s that like? What s it taste like? Describe it like Hemingway.
Maggie Rice: Well, it tastes like a pear. You don t know what a pear tastes like?
Seth: I don t know what a pear tastes like to you.
Maggie Rice: Sweet, juicy, soft on your tongue, grainy like a sugary sand that dissolves in your mouth. How s that?
Seth: It s perfect.
Seth: I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss of her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it. One.
Nathaniel Messinger: Some things are true whether you believe em´-or-not.
Maggie: No dying now, Mr. Messinger. Not until you give me Seth s phone number.
Maggie: What happened?
Seth: Free will.
Nathaniel Messinger: [to Seth] I can t see you, but I know you re there.
Seth: The little girl asked me if she could be an angel.
Cassiel: They all want wings.
Seth: I never know what to say.
Cassiel: Tell them the truth. Angels aren t human. We were never human.
Seth: What if I just make her a little pair of wings out of paper?
Seth: Why do people cry?
Maggie: What do you mean?
Seth: I mean, what happens physically?
Maggie: Well... umm... tear ducts operate on a normal basis to lubricate and protect the eye and when you have an emotion they overact and create tears.
Seth: Why? Why do they overact?
Maggie: [pause] I don t know.
Seth: Maybe... maybe emotion becomes so intense your body just can t contain it. Your mind and your feelings become too powerful, and your body weeps.
Seth: Can I ask you something?
Susan: Yes?
Seth: What did you like best?
Susan: Pajamas.
Nathaniel Messinger: Seth knows no fear, no pain, no hunger, he hears music in the sunrise. But he d give it all up, he loves you that much.
Maggie Rice: I don t understand.
Nathaniel Messinger: He can fall, he can give up his existence as he knows it, he can give up eternity and become... one of us.
Mack Truck driver: Where are you headed?
Seth: Tahoe!
Mack Truck driver: Reno.
Seth: Tahoe!
Mack Truck driver: I m going to Reno!
Seth: I m going to Tahoe!
Mack Truck driver: Hop in, we ll figure it out when we get there.
Seth: That doctor in the operating room. She looked right at me.
Maggie: Are you a visitor?
Seth: Yes.
Maggie: Well, visiting hours have been over since 8.
Seth: Wh-Why do they have that?
Maggie: What?
Seth: Hours. Doesn t it help the patient to be visited?
Maggie: Well, who are you visiting? Mr. Messinger?
Seth: Right now?
Maggie: Yeah.
Seth: You.
Nathaniel Messinger: Listen, kid: he gave these bozos the greatest gift in the universe - you think he didn t give it to us, too?
Seth: Which gift?
Nathaniel Messinger: Free will, brother. Free will.
Maggie Rice: We fight for people s lives in here, right?
Jordan Ferris: Uh-huh.
Maggie Rice: Don t you ever wonder who it is we re fighting with?
Seth: I can t see you but I know you re there.
Seth: [Cassiel appears] Am I being punished?
Cassiel: Come on, you know better than that.

أجمل أغاني
فيلم مدينة الملائكة
الأغنية الأولى
========
"City Of Angels"
Sing me a symphony
One for the lost out in between
City of fallen dreams
City of Angels
There was a girl with the sky filled of stars
In her eyes
She was chasing the world, that was so fast
And left her behind
She ran for days
But the days became years
Hope went away
As a smile turn to tears
Now there s lines on the face
Of the girl with the stars in her eyes
Sing me a symphony
One for the lost and in between
City of fallen dreams
City of Angels
Sing back the melody
Song for the hearts left in these dreams
A voice for the out of reach
The City of angels
There was a boy with the world
In the palm of his hands
Bright like a star, but he burnt everything
That he had
Trading his life
Punching holes in his veins
Fear of the height
Was a long fall from grace
But if you listen close
You can still hear the boy in the man
Sing me a symphony
One for the lost and in between
City of fallen dreams
City of Angels
Sing back the melody
Song for the hearts left in these dreams
A voice for the out of reach
The City of Angels
Lost but not forgotten
Voices for the broken
Can you hear them calling?
Sing me a symphony
One for the lost and in between
City of fallen dreams
City of Angels
Sing back the melody
Song for the hearts left in these dreams
A voice for the out of reach
The City of Angels
(City of Angels)...

I sold my soul to the devil for designer
They said, "Go to hell," but I told em I don t wanna
If you know me well, then you know I ain t goin
Cause I don t wanna, I don t wanna
I don t wanna die young
The city of angels where I have my fun
Don t wanna die young
When I m gone, remember all I ve done, one
We ve had our fun, un
But now I m done, one
Cause you crazy (Yeah), I can t take it (No)
Just wanted to see you naked
Heard time like money, can t waste it
What s the price of fame? Cause I can taste it
So I m chasin (Yeah), and I m facin
A little Hennessy, it might be good for me
I sold my soul to the devil for designer
They said, "Go to hell," but I told em I don t wanna
If you know me well, then you know I ain t goin
Cause I don t wanna, I don t wanna
I don t wanna die young
The city of angels where I have my fun
Don t wanna die young
When I m gone, remember all I ve done, one
الأغنية الثالثة :
========
"City Of Angels"
There was truth
There was consequence
Against you, a weak defense
Then there s me, I m seventeen
Looking for a fight
All my life I was never there
Just a ghost running scared
Here our dreams aren t made–
They re won.
Lost in the city of angels
Down in the comfort of strangers
I found myself in the fire burned hills
In the land of a billion lights
Bought my fate straight from hell
Second sight has paid off well
For a mother, a brother and me
The silver of a lake at night
The hills of Hollywood on fire
A boulevard of hope and dreams
Streets made of desire
Lost in the city of angels
Down in the comfort of strangers
I found myself in the fire burned hills
In the land of a billion lights
I found myself in the fire burned hills
In the land of a billion lights
(Of a billion lights, of a billion lights, of a billion lights...)
Angels
Angels
I am home, home, home, home
Lost in the city of angels
Down in the comfort of strangers
I found myself in the fire burned hills
In the land of a billion lights
One life, one love live
One life, one love live
One life, one love live
One life, one love
The city of angels
The city of angels
The city of angels
The city of angels
الأغنية الرابعة:
========
It s going down tonight in this town,
cause they stare and growl, they all stare and growl.
I take a scar every time I cry,
cause it ain t my style, no, it ain t my style.
Going down to the gravel, head to the barrel,
take this life and end this struggle.
Los Angeles, come scam me please.
Emptiness never s at Clifton s, 6 a.m,
with your bag lady friend and your mind descending.
Stripped of the right to be a human in control,
it s warmer in hell so down we go.
They say this is the city,
the city of angels.
All I see is dead wings.
They say this is the city,
the city of angels.
All I see is dead wings.
It s a ghost town, rabid underworld,
dionysian night, vitriolic twilight.
A mirage comes up, it never ends,
once you get born you re never the same.
Left behind, erased from time,
ain t no decency in being boxed up alive.
Look around, ain t no R.I.P. signs here,
we don t rest in peace, we just disappear.
So here we are, Los Angeles,
no angels singing in your valley of unease.
I watch the sun roll down the pacific,
over hookered sunset strip.
They say this is the city,
the city of angels.
All I see is dead wings.
They say this is the city,
the city of angels.
All I see is dead wings.
There s a black moon tonight,
shining down on the western neon lights.
They say this is the city,
the city of angels.
All I see is nothing
الأغنية الخامسة :
=========
It s hard havin a heart in the city
Look at the stars, waitin for someone
To tell you you re pretty, you re enough
So it goes, I don t know what the feeling s like
To be comfortable with a stranger in your skin
Don t know why you let them in
[Chorus]
We used to talk about the fakers in L.A
But now you re one of em and, damn, it hurts to say
I should ve seen it comin from a mile away, a mile away
You always wanted to take before you give, but what s the fun of it?
I don t know how you live with yourself in your Hollywood house in the hills
Gives me chills, city of angels
