Winged Creatures (2008)

Jeanne Tripplehorn: Doris Hagen

Quotes 

• Anne Hagen : God knows they were brave, Jimmy. Dad smiled down at me like he didn't have a care in the world. God wants you to be brave. You can be too. God can help you see into the hearts of everyone who fell, like I do. His witness, which you are too.

  Jimmy Jaspersen : [pointing the gun at her]  So witness, but tell what you really saw! Tell it!

  Doris Hagen : [timidly approaching]  Jimmy, this is dangerous. Whatever you two think you have to hide, it's not worse than...

  Jimmy Jaspersen : Tell it.

  Doris Hagen : Annie.

  Anne Hagen : [takes a shaky breath, beginning to cry]  I saw Dad. And he smiled down and he told me not to be scared. He was so brave. And then... I was holding his hand, and he was holding mine... and then his Coke spilled.

  Jimmy Jaspersen : No!

  Anne Hagen : [seemingly composing herself]  Then there were more shots, and the alarm went off.

  Jimmy Jaspersen : No, remember it!

  [starts to cry] 

  Jimmy Jaspersen : You go on and I will!

  Doris Hagen : Jimmy, please. This is enough.

  Jimmy Jaspersen : [ignoring Doris]  Tell it.

  Anne Hagen : [seriously beginning to get upset]  He did... he did...

  Jimmy Jaspersen : Nothing!

  [Anne closes her eyes and there is a flashback scene of what really happened] 

  Jimmy Jaspersen : [then it goes back to them, and Jimmy and Anne are both crying] 

  Doris Hagen : Jimmy, give me the gun.

  [Doris walks over warily, and slowly prys the gun from out of Jimmy's hand, but he's so upset and crying so hard that he simply lets the gun go] 

  Doris Hagen : Okay. Just give me the gun. Here we go.

  [Doris takes the gun from Jimmy and then puts her hand on his face briefly to comfort him] 

  Anne Hagen : [crying]  I just sat there. I just sat there while... while that man shot Dad and I... didn't do anything.

  [Jimmy watches her cry, looking even more upset at this sight] 

  Anne Hagen : I didn't hold his hand. I let go of his hand. I couldn't help it. He didn't die brave like I said at all, he was just scared and alone and... I didn't do anything, Mom. I'm sorry.

  Doris Hagen : No, it's okay.

  Anne Hagen : I can't ever forgive that man for what he did. I can't. Never.

  Doris Hagen : [Doris simply looks at her daughter and then at Jimmy, who is still crying heavily]  Don't either of you. Ever.
