Harper: I burned dinner.

Harper: I burned dinner.
Joe: Sorry.
Harper: Not my dinner. My dinner was fine. Your dinner. I put it back in the oven and turned everything up as high as it could go and watched till it burned blacked. It's still hot. Very hot. Want it?
Joe: You didn't have to do that.
Harper: I know. I just seemed like the kind of thing a mentally deranged sex-starved pill-popping housewife would do.

“Jews don’t have any clear textual guide to the afterlife, even that it exists. I don’t think much about it. I see it as a perpetual rainy Thursday afternoon in March. Dead leaves.”

idril-isil:

Harper: In your experience of the world. How do people change?

Mormon Mother: Well it has something to do with God so it’s not very nice. God… splits the skin with a jagged thumbnail from throat to belly. Then plunges a huge filthy hand in. He grabs hold of your bloody tubes and they slip to evade his grasp, but He squeezes hard, He insists. He pulls and pulls ‘til all your innards are yanked out. And the pain! We can’t even talk about that. And then He stuffs them back. Dirty, tangled… torn. It’s up to you to do the stitching.

Harper: And get up. And walk around.

Mormon Mother: Just mangled guts pretending.

Harper: Yeah. That’s how people change.

(Angels in America)

I must have been like 16 the first time I saw this. I didn’t understand most of it, but this scene stuck with me even if I didn’t really understood it until a few years back.

hesupportsyou:

“This angel. She’s my favorite angel. I like them best when they’re statuary. They commemorate death but they suggest a world without dying. They are made of the heaviest things on earth, stone and iron, they weigh tons but they’re winged, they are engines and instruments of flight. This is the angel Bethesda.”

Lots of Walters before this one. Prior’s an old old family name in an old old family. The Walters go back to the Mayflower and beyond… back to the Norman Conquest. He says there’s a Prior Walter stitched into the Bayeux Tapestry.

FAVOURITE CHARACTERS:

Belize (Angels In America,Tony Kushner)

I hate America, Louis. I hate this country. Nothing but a bunch of big ideas and stories and people dying, and then people like you. The white cracker who wrote the National Anthem knew what he was doing. He set the word ‘free’ to a note so high nobody could reach it. That was deliberate.
