Dr. Maggie Rice
- Maggie Rice: I don't understand a God who would let us meet, if there's no way we could ever be together.
- Seth: Why do people cry?
- Maggie: What do you mean?
- Seth: I mean, what happens physically?
- Maggie: Well... umm... tear ducts operate on a normal basis to lubricate and protect the eye and when you have an emotion they overact and create tears.
- Seth: Why? Why do they overact?
- Maggie: [pause] I don't know.
- Seth: Maybe... maybe emotion becomes so intense your body just can't contain it. Your mind and your feelings become too powerful, and your body weeps.
- Maggie Rice: Do you feel that?
- Seth: Yes.
- Maggie Rice: And that? How's it feel? Tell me what it feels like.
- Seth: I can't.
- Maggie Rice: Try.
- Seth: Warm. Aching.
- Maggie Rice: It's okay. We fit together.
- Seth: I know.
- Maggie Rice: We were made to fit together.
- Seth: What's that like? What's it taste like? Describe it like Hemingway.
- Maggie Rice: Well, it tastes like a pear. You don't know what a pear tastes like?
- Seth: I don't know what a pear tastes like to you.
- Maggie Rice: Sweet, juicy, soft on your tongue, grainy like a sugary sand that dissolves in your mouth. How's that?
- Seth: It's perfect.
- Seth: You're an excellent doctor.
- Maggie: How do you know?
- Seth: I have a feeling.
- Maggie: That's pretty flimsy evidence.
- Seth: Close your eyes. It's just for a moment.
- [touches her hand]
- Seth: What am I doing?
- Maggie: You're... touching me.
- Seth: Touch. How do you know?
- Maggie: Because, I feel it.
- Seth: You should trust that. You don't trust it enough.
- Nathaniel Messinger: Seth knows no fear, no pain, no hunger, he hears music in the sunrise. But he'd give it all up, he loves you that much.
- Maggie Rice: I don't understand.
- Nathaniel Messinger: He can fall, he can give up his existence as he knows it, he can give up eternity and become... one of us.
- Maggie Rice: Are you here? I want to see you. Let me see you. Just stay. Just stay until I fall asleep.
- Seth: Am I too late?
- Maggie Rice: Too late?
- Seth: Jordan?
- Maggie Rice: I couldn't marry Jordan. I'm in love with you.
- Maggie Rice: Got a message for me?
- Seth: I already gave it to you.
- Maggie Rice: Well, did you use my pager? 'Cause I usually don't get my messages unless you beep me.
- Seth: You've definitely been beeped.
- Seth: I was there in the stairwell... when you cried for your patient. And I touched you, remember?
- Maggie Rice: Why are you doing this?
- Seth: Because I'm in love with you.
- Seth: Hello Maggie! It's nice to see you again.
- Maggie Rice: It's weird to see you again.
- Seth: Weird is nice.
