Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Charlie Winters: Hey, I know you. You're the new nurse who came into my mother's room to take her blood pressure. Mr. Smith: That's right. Charlie Winters: She said death was in the room and then she pointed at you. It's all perfectly clear. You made a simple mistake. You were supposed to take my mother but you took me instead. I'm sure it happens to the best of angels. So why don't we just turn around and go back? I mean, who's to know, wight? No harm, no foul. What do you say? Mr. Smith: I'm not an angel and I didn't make a mistake. Edit
- Charlie Summers: It's not enough that I have 72 hours to turn my destiny around, I've got to be a skateboard salesman? Mr. Jones: That was His idea. Charlie Summers: His? He's got a great sense of humor. Edit
