I should've gone back on.

I should've massaged longer.

I should've gone back on.Massaged longer. I lost it.

I lost it.

Have you ever been seen, Cassiel?

You're looking at me.

No, not by me, and notby the dying or the delirious.

Have you ever been seen...

...like you were a man?

In a diner once, a blind womanturned to me all of a sudden...

Page 19: City of Angels Script

...and asked me to pass her the mustard.

- But she was blind.- But she knew I was there.

That doctor in the operating room...

...she looked right at me.

She didn't see you, Seth.She can't see you.

No one can see youunless you want them to.

And if I want her to?

Why do you want her to?

To help her.

Open it!

Page 20: City of Angels Script

Open it now!

Everybody down!

Page 21: City of Angels Script

Be cool, man.

Be cool.

Holy shit!

They don't need to see us.

You're early.

What's going on?

Ferris was looking for you.

Don't I have a mitral valve to do?

They canceled it.

Who canceled it?

Sheffield.

Page 22: City of Angels Script

Why are you telling me?

He was busy.

He was chickenshit.

- Maggie, you're sick.- I'm not sick.

You're sick.You can't operate.

They've rescheduled for Monday.An elective valve, no big deal.

It is unprofessional, and itembarrasses me in front of my staff.

I saw the chart on Balford.

I'm on the committee.It's on review.

Page 23: City of Angels Script

- It wasn't your fault.- I know.

Then what's the problem?

I don't know.

You put up a terrific fight.

We fight for people's lives, right?

Don't you ever wonder whoit is we're fighting with?

So I'm crazy and chemically imbalanced.

You're tired.

You have moments.

Why didn't you call me?

Because I never sleepwhen you stay over.

Page 24: City of Angels Script

You never sleep whetherI stay over or not.

You're good.

You know it.

Come back Mondayand get back on the horse.

Doctor?

I'll see you.

"As I walk along the stony shoreof the pond in my shirtsleeves..."

"...Amazon basin in the north,once an island sea..."

"The highest truth on thesubject remains unsaid...

Page 25: City of Angels Script

...probably cannot be said.

For all that we say is the far-offremembering of the intuition..."

"...she begins to pull away fromthe awareness she had once..."

"Commencing search."Searching my soul.

What happened to the cards?You could touch the cards.

She's been lookingat me for half an hour.

Maybe if I just hang here...

"This is a delicious evening,when the whole body's one sense..."

What if I screamed?What if I just screamed right now?

"When a woman decides to sleep

Page 26: City of Angels Script

with a man..."

"You knew there would alwaysbe a spring...

...as you knew the riverwould flow again after it was frozen.

When the cold rains kept onand killed the spring...

...it was as though a young personhad died for no reason."

All right, they have rescheduledthe operation for Monday.

What happened yesterday?

They had a golf tournament.

Who knows with these people?

Good morning, Mr. Messinger.

Page 27: City of Angels Script

The "G" is soft, like "messenger."

What's on your lip?

What? Am I slobbering here?

- Where did you get that?- What am I, a prisoner?

You want to get well, oryou want Ben & Jerry's?

This operation is a big deal.

Continue to eat like this...

...and you might as well skip it.Save the grand.

If you'd have performed the operationyesterday like you were supposed to...

...I'd be sucking carrots througha straw in my arm. What happened?

Page 28: City of Angels Script

Circumstances were not optimalfor the procedure.

I ain't "the procedure." My name isNathan Messinger and I'm right here.

Hello, hello, hello...

Floating, floating. Don't pop it.Don't pop it!

Do you know the Muffin Man,the Muffin Man, the Muffin Man?

Hi, Anne.

What are you doing here?

I was on my way up to x-ray...

...and I thought I'd stop in and just...

...hide.

Page 29: City of Angels Script

From what?

I should've gone into pediatrics.

Oh, no.

Every guy you meetis either married or a gyno.

Never date a man who knows moreabout your vagina than you do.

Poor little guy.

He never stops crying.

- What's wrong with him?- No insurance.

Found him in a dumpsterbehind the House of Pies.

We worked him up the wazoofor everything...

Page 30: City of Angels Script

...from drug exposure to diabetes.We got nothing.

May I?

Did you do an ultrasound?

- You hear a murmur?- Worth a shot.

Okay, baby.

So what are you hiding from?

My patient's wife.

She wants me to tell her that herhusband is going to be okay...

...and that I have every confidence...

...and I don't.

Page 31: City of Angels Script

And after all this time,and after all this work...

...I suddenly have this feeling that...

...none of this is in my hands.Nothing.

And if it isn't...

...what do I do with that?

Excuse me.

Are you a visitor?

Yes.

Visiting hours have beenover since : .

Why do they have that?

Page 32: City of Angels Script

What?

Hours.

Doesn't it help the patientto be visited?

Who are you visiting?Mr. Messinger?

Right now?

You.

I don't need a visitor.

You're not ill?

No.

I'm one of the doctors here.

Are you in despair?

Page 33: City of Angels Script

I lost a patient.

You did everything you could?

I was holding his heartin my hand when he died.

Then he wasn't alone.

Yes, he was.

People die.

Not on my table.

People die when their bodies give out.

It's my job to keep their bodies fromgiving out. Or what am I doing here?

It wasn't your fault, Maggie.

Page 34: City of Angels Script

I wanted him to live.

He is living.

Just not the way you think.

I don't believe in that.

Some things are truewhether you believe in them or not.

How did you know my name?

What's yours?

Seth.

You better get out of here, Seth...

...or security's going to thinkyou're a psych patient.

- Where are we?

Page 35: City of Angels Script

- Down a liter.

Suction.

I am stuck on Band-Aid brand'Cause Band-Aid's stuck on me

No dying now, Mr. Messinger. Not untilyou give me Seth 's phone number.

I am stuck on Band-Aid brand'Cause Band-Aid's stuck on me

Those eyes.

The way he looked...

...right down into me.

Seth.

What kind of name is Seth?

I thought you'd be here.

Page 36: City of Angels Script

Salty.

My transplant tanked at a.m.

You okay?

You might want to return this.

That part about the spring?"You knew there'd always be a spring."

How did you know that...?

What? I didn't give you this book.

You didn't?

Where'd you get it?

Hi. I'm a physician, and I thinka patient left that in my office.

Page 37: City of Angels Script

- Can you tell me who checked it out?- I can't tell you who.

I can tell you when.

All right, give me minutes.

Hello, Maggie.

It's nice to see you again.

It's weird to see you again.

Weird is nice.

You like Hemingway?

Yeah, I'm starting to.

May I?

"As I ate the oysters with theirstrong taste of the sea...

Page 38: City of Angels Script

...and their faint metallic taste...

...as I drank their cold liquidfrom each shell...

...and washed it downwith the crisp taste of the wine...

...I lost the empty feeling...

...and began to be happy."

He never forgets to describehow things taste.

I like that.

Do you come here a lot?

I live here.

What do you do?

Page 39: City of Angels Script

Read.

No, I mean, your work.

I'm a messenger.

What kind of messenger?A bike messenger?

No, I'm a messenger of God.

Got a message for me?

I already gave it to you.

Did you use my pager? I usually don'tget my messages unless you beep me.

You've definitely been beeped.

- How is Messinger?- He's good.

Page 40: City of Angels Script

The operation went really well.

- It was a good day.- It was.

Yeah, I didn't kill anybody today.

- You're an excellent doctor.- How do you know?

I have a feeling.

That's pretty flimsy evidence.

Close your eyes.

It's just for a moment.

What am I doing?

You're touching me.

Touch.

Page 41: City of Angels Script

How do you know?

Because I feel it.

You should trust that.

You don't trust it enough.

- Let's go somewhere.- Where?

I don't care.

What do you want to do?

Anything.

What's that like?

What's it taste like?

Page 42: City of Angels Script

Describe it. Like Hemingway.

Well, it tastes like...

...a pear.

You don't know what a pear tastes like?

I don't know what a peartastes like to you.

Sweet...

...juicy.

Soft on your tongue.Grainy...

...like sugary sand thatdissolves in your mouth.

How's that?

It's perfect.

Page 43: City of Angels Script

The first time I looked in a microscope,I knew I wanted to be a doctor.

Okay, let me have your hand.

What for?

We'll take a look at your blood.

Not a possibility.

Men.

I suppose you know a woman'sthreshold of pain...

...is times higher than a man's.

Take a look at that.

That's bright.

Page 44: City of Angels Script

That's me.

All those cells.

That's all you are.

That and all the space in between.

If this is all you are...

...these cells...

...then when they die, that's the end.

I don't know. I think so.

How do you explain it?

What?

The enduring myth of Heaven.

Page 45: City of Angels Script

I used to think that I had itall figured out.

But you didn't?

No.

Because something happenedin my O.R. and I got...

...this jolt. I got this feelingthat there's something...

...bigger out there. Something biggerthan me, bigger than you, and it...

Does that sound crazy?

No.

I couldn't fix him.I did everything right...

...and I couldn't fix him.

Page 46: City of Angels Script

That's not supposed to happen.

And I...

You cried.

Yeah.

- Why do people cry?- What do you mean?

I mean, what happens physically?

Tear ducts operate on a normal basisto lubricate and protect the eye.

When you have an emotion,they overact and create tears.

Why? Why do they overact?

I don't know.

Page 47: City of Angels Script

Maybe emotion becomes so intense...

...your body just can't contain it.

Your mind and your feelingsbecome too powerful.

Your body weeps.

I have to go.

I got to go. Stay right here.

Don't go anywhere.

Stay right there.

- Get the tube out.- He can't breathe.

It's because the tube is blocked.

How you feeling?

Page 48: City of Angels Script

Ready to hit the waves.

I'm afraid your bodysurfingdays are over.

You got a mean tattoo going there.What does your wife think of that?

That is my wife.

Check his vitals every .

I can't see you,but I know you're there.

Go back and tell themthat I'm not going.

Not yet.

Where have you been?

Oh, shit. I totally forgot dinner.

Page 49: City of Angels Script

Dinner?

With who?

A guy I met. I bumped into himand we got something to eat.

Did you pack my backpack?

What else?

We talked...

...and then I got beepedand he disappeared.

Why did you pack my backpack?

Earl, what are you doing?

I thought we'd fly up to Tahoe,use your uncle's cabin...

Page 50: City of Angels Script

...maybe do a little hiking.

What?

God. Is it...?

Maggie, it's just a tick.

- Get a match.- We're not going to burn him, Jordan.

It'll have to back out.Can't leave the head in.

- We can't just be burning tick heads.- Then get some alcohol.

I don't have any.

- You don't have any alcohol?- I don't operate here.

How about some olive oil?

Page 51: City of Angels Script

Which kind? Jalapeño or rosemary?

Rosemary.

So what did you and your friend...What did you say his name was?

Seth.

What did you two talk about?

Dying.

Come on, we deal with life and deathevery day. Why can't we talk about it?

I hope you won't become asurgeon who prays in the O.R.

Can we talk for a minute?

We'll talk while camping.

Page 52: City of Angels Script

Jordan, I can't go camping now.

We need some time together.

All right, let's see if we canjust spend minutes.

Let's see if we can just standstill together for minutes.

Doing what?

Just being here.

I'll get the trail map.

No, I mean it.

Nothing but us.

What do I do?

Just look at me.

Page 53: City of Angels Script

You can't do it.

You can't do it.

- You flinched. You lose!- You cheat.

That old black magic called...

...love.

Thank you very much.

Welcome back. We've been talkingto mothers who are members of the KKK.

You want to watch anything?

Me neither.

How do you know when I'm here?

Page 54: City of Angels Script

I know.

Jeez, you look good.

I forgot how good everybody looked.

years of silence.

You got guts, kid, showing yourselflike that. I appreciate that. I do.

It'll make it easier.

I got to tell you, I feel fine.

You might want to check your orders...

...because I sure don't feellike I'm dying.

You're not dying.

Right. Then how come you're

Page 55: City of Angels Script

hanging around my room all the time?

I'm the only one with his asshanging out of his dress.

Unless...

Could it be...

...the doctor?

Sure.

The doctor.

She's pretty.

A little flat-chested...

...but all you need's a handful.

- Who are you?- This is good.

Page 56: City of Angels Script

This is what they call...

..."serendipitous."

Look that up in the dictionary,you'll see a picture of you and me.

Thank you.

You ready to deal?

Because I can answer allyour questions, friend.

How's the French toast?

Fabulous.

Set me up.

Guess I should introduce myself.

Page 57: City of Angels Script

Come on, give me your hand.

Put it in mine. There you go.

A little tighter. Tighter.There you go.

No, that's too much.

There you go. Good grip.

Nathaniel Messinger.

Glutton, hedonist...

...former celestial body,recent addition to the human race.

I don't believe you.

You want proof?

You hang out at a library.

Page 58: City of Angels Script

You can speak every language.

You travel with the speed of thought...

...and you're readingmy mind right now.

Stop that.

You're doing it.

It's impossible.

"Some things are truewhether you believe them or not."

How?

- You choose.- Choose?

To fall to Earth.

Page 59: City of Angels Script

You take the plunge,the tumble, the dive.

You jump off a bridge.Leap out a window.

You just make up your mindto do it and you do it.

You wake up all smelly,and aching from head to toe...

...and hungrier than you'veever been...

...only you have no idea what hunger isor any of that stuff...

...so it's all real confusingand painful, but very, very good.

Human.

Listen, kid:

Page 60: City of Angels Script

He gave these bozosthe greatest gift in the universe.

You think He didn't give it to us too?

Which gift?

Free will, brother.

Free will.

Couldn't get a job.

No past, no training.

No I.D.

Then one day, I was walkingpast a building site.

A skyscraper.

And I thought, "I could do that."

Page 61: City of Angels Script

You see, these people down here...

...a lot of them are afraid of heights,you know what I'm saying?

That makes me uniquely qualified.

And besides, it feels likea little bit of home up here.

And I like what I do.

I'm good at it.

These things'll kill you.

Are there others?

Others like you?

Yeah, they're out there.

Page 62: City of Angels Script

You see them, but most of the timeyou just walk on by.

Nobody likes to think of the old life.You know, what they gave up.

Then why'd you do it?

My daughter, Ruth...

...her stupid husband, Frank...

...and my grandkids.

Petie's Hannah's .

And this is my wife, Teresa.

Did you...

...tell her who you were?

I started to try once or twice.

Page 63: City of Angels Script

Then I thought, "Why do that to her?"

Do what?

It's too much for them.

People don't believe in us anymore.

Do they still gather togetherat sunrise?

And sunset, yes.

Take me there?

Can you hear it?

No.

I can't hear that!

But you can't feel this!

Page 64: City of Angels Script

Nathan!

You have to go back.

Not until I catch the big wave.

Wait.

Wait.

Wait for what?

Swim!

And then you just...

...fall.

- Fall?- Dive.

Page 65: City of Angels Script

You make up your mind to do it...

...and you do it.

And when you wake up, you're...?

Yes.

To smell the air.

Taste water.

Read a newspaper.

To lie.

Through your teeth.

To feed the dog.

Touch her hair.

Page 66: City of Angels Script

What are you waiting for?

There is so much beauty up here.

Yes.

Here you are again.

We'll release your friendMessinger tomorrow.

That's good.

His family's having a kindof a welcome-home party.

Will you be going?

Will you be going?

This is Earl.

He told me.

Page 67: City of Angels Script

What else does he tell you?

He worries that you never sleep.And he loves to see you smile.

Sometimes I think Earl's theonly one who understands me.

What about your boyfriend?

Do you love him?

Love? I don't know.

What does that mean?

I was hoping you could tell me.

It's a word...

...that describes a chemical react...

Page 68: City of Angels Script

It's just crap. I'm full of crap.

I wait all day, just hopingfor one more minute with you...

...and I don't even know you.

What do you want to know?

Why you wear the sameclothes all the time.

Why won't you give meyour phone number?

Are you married?

No.

Are you homeless?

No.

Are you a drummer?

Page 69: City of Angels Script

Why don't you ever touch me?

I don't want to hurt you.

You won't hurt me.

Did you feel that?

If I could make you understand...

I understand.

I'll see you around.

Hey, Doc!

No, give me the whole package.Come here.

- Hi.- Thanks for coming.

Page 70: City of Angels Script

You look great.

Is this heaven?

Look at this.

Come on, let's meet some people.

You got an appetite?

Have a beer, Seth.

Where you from?

Up.

North. Uh, Canada.

Listen. Can you hear?

I'm growing.

Page 71: City of Angels Script

Smile, Hannah.

How long have you known Seth?

Not very long.

But I feel like I've known him forever.

Honey, that hurts.

You're just like Grandpa.

Come on.

Let's see if the cookies are done.

Come on, Seth.

- Can I help you?- Yeah, great.

How did you two meet?

Page 72: City of Angels Script

He works with me over at the site.Construction work.

I thought he was a messenger.

Yeah, he's one of those...

..."hyphenates."

I'll be right back.

Here, can you cut this up?

So in what province in Canadawere you born?

I wasn't born in Canada.

What are your parents' names?

No parents.

Page 73: City of Angels Script

You have very delicate handsfor a construction worker.

I'm not a construction worker.

Very pale hands. Let me see.

- Why did you do that?- Let me see your hand.

No.

What's your last name?

You know my last name.

I don't.

Plate.

Seth Plate?

I cut you.

Page 74: City of Angels Script

I cut you.

I cut you with that knife. I felt it go in. You felt it.

Not the way you do.

The way I do?What does that mean?

You mean the way a doctor does?The way a woman does? What?

The way...

...a human does.

I have no sense of touch.

You feel that?

Don't be frightened.

Page 75: City of Angels Script

You freak!

You liar!

Who... What are you?

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.

- "To take Mr. Balford"?- I was there.

- We're always there in every room.- What are you talking about?

Page 76: City of Angels Script

I was there in the stairwell...

...when you cried for your patient.

And I touched you. Remember?

Why are you doing this?

Because I'm in love with you.

I don't believe you.

Do you feel that?

You don't want to believe me.

I cannot conceive of it!

Just get out!

Get out!

Page 77: City of Angels Script

Doctor?

Doctor?

Hello?

Seth?

Are you here?

I want to see you.

Let me see you.

Just stay.

Just stay until I fall asleep.

Oh, yes!

Thank you.

Page 78: City of Angels Script

The baby can't sleep.

Has anyone ever seen the baby sleep?

I don't know. Let's check him out.

Choanal atresia.

There's hardly any air getting through.

How did you know?

I just...

...knew!

Maggie?

Yeah.

Are you alone?

Page 79: City of Angels Script

Yeah.

Pretty intuitive call on the baby.

Think so?

I couldn't have done it better.

Well, that's a compliment.

What are you doing?

I'm spending time with you.

Will you marry me?

We can finally get up to Tahoe.

Get married on the Nevada side...

...honeymoon and be backbefore we miss a case.

Page 80: City of Angels Script

What do you want me to do?Get down on my knees?

What do you want me to say?

We belong together.

We're the same species.

I'm not very good at mattersof the heart. I mean...

...the proverbial heart.

Please be my wife.

Just think about it.

Breathe in.

Breathe in.

Page 81: City of Angels Script

I'm good.

I don't understand a God who would letus meet, if we could never be together.

He didn't tell you.

Tell me what?

Maybe you should ask him.

No, I'm asking you.

Seth knows no fear...

...no pain...

...no hunger.

He hears music in the sunrise.

But he'd give it all up.

Page 82: City of Angels Script

He loves you that much.

I don't understand.

He can fall.

He can give up his existenceas he knows it.

He can give up eternity and become...

...one of us.

It's up to you.

How do you know this?

Because I did it.

Seth, I need to talk to you.

Seth, please.

Page 83: City of Angels Script

Please be here.

God, help me through this.

You are so beautiful.

You'll always be that way.

Jordan asked me to go away with him...

...and get married.

He knows me.

He knows the demands of my work.

You don't love him.

He and I are the same.

And I want that.

Page 84: City of Angels Script

And I want somebody who canfeel my hand when I touch him.

But you can feel me.

You felt me.

I want to say goodbye.

I don't want to see you again.

Hey, buddy.

You can't be in here.

Do you see me?

Do you see me?

Can you see me?

Page 85: City of Angels Script

We can see you.

Is this blood?

This is blood!

Is it red?

Red?

Is it red?

Color.

What color were the drugs you took?

Better get your butt out of here.

You got somewhere to go?

Maggie.

Page 86: City of Angels Script

Down and down and down I go

Round and round and round I go

Round and spin

Loving the spin I'm in

Loving that old black magic...

...called love

Love!

Hi!

I was wondering if you could tell mehow to get to the county hospital?

Can I help you, sir?

I'll just take a momentto catch my breath.

Page 87: City of Angels Script

Breath!

Maggie Rice.

Are you a patient?

No. I just need to find her, please.

You'll have to call her office.Someone there can help you.

Do you know where she is?

No, sir, I do not know where she is.

You have this computer...

...and all this technology.Can't you look her up?

Where's Maggie?

Page 88: City of Angels Script

So you're a friend of Maggie's?

What happened to you?

Sorry.

It's okay.

I fell.

Evidently. Off a train?

I fell in love.

Please help me find her.

She went to Lake Tahoe. Her unclehas a cabin on the Nevada side.

Wait!

Cassiel.

Page 89: City of Angels Script

Are you there?

Hello.

Where you headed?

Tahoe!

Reno!

Tahoe!

I'm going to Reno.

I'm going to Tahoe.

Hop in. We'll figure it outwhen we get there.

Am I too late?

Too late?

Page 90: City of Angels Script

Jordan?

I couldn't marry Jordan.

I'm in love with you.

What happened?

Free will.

I feel you.

Do you feel that?

Yes.

And that?

How's it feel?Tell me what it feels like.

I can't.

Page 91: City of Angels Script

Try.

Warm.

Aching.

It's okay.

We fit together.

I know.

We were made to fit together.

I always asked the dying whatthey liked best about living.

Wrote it down in my book.

This is it.

Page 92: City of Angels Script

This is what I like best.

You haven't even started yet.

We have our whole lives together.

You and me.

Mr. and Mrs. Plate.

- I'll get help.- You're here.

- Stay.- I should get help.

Don't go. The driver went.

Please stay.

Please stay with me.

I'm scared.

Page 93: City of Angels Script

I screwed up.

I wanted to show you everything.

You will.

You came all this way.

I'm sorry.

God, no, Maggie!

To touch you...

...and to feel you.

To be able to hold your hand right now.

You know what that means?

Do you know how much I love you?

Page 94: City of Angels Script

Keep looking at me, okay?

Look right in my eyes.

Someone's out there.

Don't look at them.Please don't you look at them!

Is this what happens?

Yes.

This is what happens.

I'm not afraid.

When they ask me...

...what I liked the best...

...I'll tell them...

Page 95: City of Angels Script

...it was you.

God!

I can't see you,but I know you're there.

I'm sorry.

Get out.

Was it you? Were you the one?Were you there?

No.

Why did He do this?

I don't know.

Because her number was up?

Page 96: City of Angels Script

What do you want me to say?

- Am I being punished?- You know better than that.

That's life.

You're living now.

And one day...

...you'll be dying.

What's it like?

What?

Warmth.

It's wonderful.

If you'd known thiswas going to happen...

Page 97: City of Angels Script

...would you have done it?

I would rather have had...

...one breath of her hair...

...one kiss of her mouth...

...one touch of her hand...

...than an eternity without it.

One.
