• Louis : Eckhart saw Hell too. He said: The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you, he said. They're freeing your soul. So the way he sees it, if you're frightened of dying and... and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth. It's just a matter of how you look at it, that's all. So don't worry, okay? Okay?

• Jacob : You know you look like an angel, Louie? Like an overgrown cherub. Anyone ever tell you that?

  Louis : [smiling]  Yeah, you. Every time you see me.

  Jacob : You're a lifesaver, Louie.

  Louis : [smiling]  Yeah, I know.

• Louis : Well, you've done it to yourself this time, haven't you?

  Jacob Singer : Am I dying, Louie?

  Louis : From a slipped disk? That'll be a first.
