Hello is on a picnic, Tess. That's
right. If I'm going to be roughing it, I

to be comfortable.

It is so beautiful.

So we have a day off, huh?

Yes, because every person on the planet
has learned to get along with one

another in love and harmony.

Tess, that's not true.

I know that, but I can dream, can't I?

Oh, hello, peace and quiet.

Hello.

Gloria, over here.

Hi.

So, what shall we do with our day today?

I thought we would take a nap.

What did you have in mind?

Oh, I don't know. I was thinking you and
I work together, but we really never

have time to chill.

Chill? Chill.

Now that sounds good. Go do that.

Bye -bye.

Monica, did you ever see the movie
Thelma and Louise?

Yes, I did.

Wouldn't it be fun to bond like the
women in that movie?

Well, of course, without all the
shooting and the kidnapping and the

the cliff.

I'd really like that, Gloria.

Uh, is my car?

Mm -hmm.

No clips.

Maybe we should wait for Andrew and see
if he'd like to go.

No, no, baby.

Andrew didn't get today off, if you know
what I mean.

down the road heavy burden heavy

load I will rise and I

will walk with you I'll walk with you
till the sun

don't even shine walk with you every
time

I tell you I'll walk with you

Believe me, I'll walk with you.

Oh, I know.

Let's make a list of all the things we
have in common.

You first.

Okay, we're both angels. Yes.

Number two?

We're both in female form. Good one.

Number three?

We really are so different.

Why do you think God made us that way?

I can't say I've given it much thought.

Oh, that's my problem. I think too much.

You don't have to.

You have something better. You have
wisdom.

Gloria, wisdom is only intelligence.

Lost experience.

You'll get there. How did you get there?

Trial and error.

Error, mostly.

Oh, I pushed when I should have pulled,
and I pulled when I should have pushed,

and then, of course, there was the water
problem.

Water problem?

Yes, I was in the middle of this
assignment near a lake and I discovered

was afraid of the water.

Oh, ouch.

It's not easy saying fear not when your
knees are shaking.

I'm afraid of something.

What's that?

I'm afraid I'll let God down.

There's no need to be afraid of that.

I'm sure that you will.

I wouldn't do it on purpose.

Sorry?

Did you just say, you're sure I will?

God knows that you're not perfect,
Gloria. He made you that way.

But he will always forgive us if we ask
for it.

And a certain amount of fear is a
healthy thing.

Without feeling it, how can we
understand it? How can we help an

might be feeling it?

Yeah, true, isn't it?

And sometimes when we help a human to
face their fear...

We face our own and then we're not
afraid anymore.

How about I buy you a cup of coffee?

Ah, an angel after my own heart.

Welcome to Louie's. If it don't smell
right, look good, or taste great, I'm

one to complain to.

You're Louie?

No, I'm Sally.

Long story.

Table for two, please.

Please?

You're not from around here, are you?

So what time's Doug picking you up?

Any minute.

I, um...

I'd like a cup of coffee, please. And
I'll have one -third cranberry juice,

-third apple juice, and one -third
tomato juice, with ice.

Two coffees coming up.

And where is he taking me to, that fancy
Italian place on the interstate?

No, Black Boot.

The Black Boot?

For your anniversary?

What's it giving you for your birthday,
Christy, a vacuum cleaner?

It's not our real anniversary.

Just six months.

Go on.

Get dressed.

Thanks, Sal.

Doug Jackson, what is wrong with you?

Always a pleasure, Sally.

When are you getting rid of these
license plates?

Oh, uh, I don't know. When I get around
to it, I guess.

Well, guess again.

How do you think it makes your wife feel
to see you driving around with another

woman's name on your truck?

Ashley and I have been over forever.

I'm a married man, and you know that.

Fine. Then act like one.

Can you tell her I'm here, or...

I'm so glad we could get away, out on
the open highway, with the sun above us,

the road below us, and the wind blowing
through our hair in that wonderful car

of Tess.

Speaking of which... No, you can't.

Can't what?

Drive Tess's car back.

I'm sorry, Gloria, but she entrusted it
to me, and it's not mine to lend.

That's what you were going to ask me,
isn't it?

Great.

She didn't tell her I was here.

Christy? Doug's here.

Hi, honey.

How do I look?

You look fine.

Go.

Bye, Sal.

So why do you like coffee so much
anyway?

Oh, I don't really know.

But I remember the day I had my first
cup. I'm sorry.

I know it's Tessa's car, and I know she
doesn't want me driving it, but what I

don't know is why.

Well, I think she'd just like to see you
get your feet a bit more on the ground

first.

So I'm too young. How old would I have
to be?

Well, you see, it's not a question of
chronological age, Gloria, inasmuch as

it's, you know, experience and maturity,
understanding.

Are you saying I'm immature?

No, no, that's not what I mean. I'm not
immature. I'm not.

Is there a Monica here?

Phone.

Phone for me?

Only if you're Monica.

Back down the hall.

I'll be right back.

Gloria, I'll be right back.

On second thought, let's just go.

What about the phone?

It's not important.

You are.

You didn't sound like that a minute ago.

I apologize, Gloria.

Did you let me make it up to you?

Me? You're letting me drive?

I have faith in you.

Well, what about Tess? She...

You'd rather not. Nope.

Listen to me.

I know you've met evil before, but
you've never met it one -on -one, face

-face. Especially when the face is
tricked up to look just like you.

Are you sure you're ready for this,
baby?

Yeah.

You can call me Monique.

I don't need to know your name to know
who you are.

Confusion is your weapon.

Destruction, your goal.

And you can counterfeit anything to
accomplish it.

Even me.

You're too late, Miss Wings.

I think you're getting a wee bit ahead
of yourself.

Ah, a wee bit.

Aren't you embarrassed to talk like
that?

Fear not.

God loves you.

Of course.

What else can you expect from that
dreary crowd you hang out with? You

it wasn't for your addiction to coffee,
I'd say you were hopeless.

This better be good, Miss Wings.

Oh, Tess.

It's Monique.

She's back, and she's taken Gloria.

And your car.

And your car.

It's been so long since we saw her. I
just thought that she... We can never

forget.

What the enemy is capable of, baby.

I have to go after them.

Gloria is so innocent.

She's never had to face an evil like
this before. I can't bear to think of

alone with Monique. Now you listen to
me.

I don't like the thought of Gloria being
out there with a demon any more than

you do.

But this is something every angel has to
face sooner or later.

I did.

You did.

And unless the father gives us
permission to intervene, all we can do

and trust him to take care of her.

She's going to be all right, baby.

Father, take care of our little Gloria
for us.

She's in your hands.

Monica, I can't believe you're letting
me drive.

I think it's time for you to spread your
wings a little.

Take some risks. Be bold.

So, where to?

We'll just keep driving down this road.

Oh, wow, look. It's Doug and Christy
from the cafe.

Is it that a coincidence?

Maybe. Maybe not.

Hey, girls.

One with me.

Oh, I am just dying for a glass of one
-third cranberry juice, one -third apple

juice, and one... Two coffees, please.

Hey, Wanda. Yeah.

Two coffees for these ladies.

Sure.

Are you feeling all right?

I don't know. I just feel really sick
all of a sudden.

Oh, Gloria, I've never felt like this.

I think I need to go home. You can't go
home. Oh, golly.

Isn't that a hot poker in here?

I got a full house.

Maybe I could fill in.

Honey, I've known you for about 30
seconds.

Can you give me one good reason why I
should hire you?

Because.

Okay.

There's uniforms in the back.

Monica, that was so nice of you.

I'm a giver, Gloria.

That's what I do.

Oh, what should I do?

Have your coffee.

Keep your eyes open.

I have a feeling that you're going to
play a very big part in what's going to

happen here tonight.

It's been hours now, Ted.

I can't stand the waiting.

God only knows where Gloria is with that
thing.

Now you got that right.

God knows where Gloria is.

That's why we're not going to go
anywhere or do anything until he tells

to go and what to do.

Where have you been, baby? The park and
then an ambulance and finally the

hospital.

Oh, no.

Some... Animal.

Just beat a girl half to death.

Physically, she's going to recover, but
on the inside.

You know, I could spend a million years
on Earth and never understand the things

that some people do to one another.

Where's Gloria?

Remember the first time I saw you?

Right over there?

Beating the hell out of that jukebox?

Well, that jukebox had it coming.

They raised the price and I only had one
quarter.

They gave you another one, didn't they?

Do you remember what song we played?

Yes, I do.

There was one... Oh, yeah, I know. But
you have no idea.

Forever and ever, amen.

Bye, Randy Travis.

Night, Dave.

Hello there. How y 'all doing?

Young lady at the bar asked me to send
over a drink.

I made a suggestion. It's called Devil's
Delight.

What is she doing here?

I don't know.

What? It doesn't matter. It's not like
she means anything to me.

It's just a set of license plates you
can't seem to get rid of. Come on.

Don't do this. No.

You know, I'm going to use the ladies'
room and then I want to leave.

I'm not in a party mood all the time.
Oh,

what a shame.

Jealousy is such an ugly thing.

Would you mind just taking these knock
over to her and tell her that we don't

want them?

Sure.

Easier if you don't face her.

I'm not afraid.

Never mind, I'll do it myself.

Daddy!

Long time no band.

How are you?

Still single.

Unlike some people I know.

This month's anniversary is very nice,
but if you want to make it to one year

five years or even ten, you're going to
need to fight fire with fire.

Maybe you're right.

You may think that I'm talking to that's
your song

Excuse

me

lady like to dance

Oh, well, I don't think so. Remember,
fire with fire.

I'd love to, but just to dance.

Just to dance.

Excuse me.

So it looks like we have an assignment
after all. Doug and Christy, though it's

not a coincidence that we're here, why
don't you go play some songs on the

jackbox? What? Why?

You could do a little angelic
surveillance out here.

I mean, I thought we had something
pretty special.

You know, we did.

Then I met Christy.

I knew that she was a one.

Sometimes you just know.

Yeah.

I guess I just never figured you'd be
with someone who's so jealous.

She's not usually like that.

Oh, no?

Kristen, what are you doing?

Give me that.

Oh, dear.

I'm sure it was an accident.

People never cease to amaze me.

What are you talking about?

Your wife.

She just left with that cowboy.

Son of a... You know something?

I just don't give a damn. You wanna get
out of here?

You sure you want to?

Mm -hmm.

Happy anniversary, Christy.

Chrissy!

We're stuck.

I don't know how to tell you this, but I
saw Doug walk out with that.

What happened?

Doug left with Ashley.

Why? Well, he thought that Christy had
gone with the cowboy.

No, but they were helping me pick up the
change.

Oh, no.

It's all my fault.

Come on.

I don't understand how all this
happened.

It was just a big misunderstanding.

So I'm going to go to Christy and tell
her the truth about why Doug left with

Ashley, and then she's going to run
after him and clear this all up. This is

the time.

We can't say or do anything more than we
already have.

We is not the problem, Monica. It's me.
It's my fault.

Gloria, it was an accident.

have acted as... Truth.

I just hope I haven't let God down.

Well, I'm sure that God has another
plan.

He usually does.

And you'll get another chance to fix the
problem.

This time, you have to be ready when
that chance comes.

Andrew? Now, I've seen more people die
than I can possibly count.

And I've always thought it was an honor
and a privilege to be able to escort

them home in their days like today.

Do you know that he beat her so badly
that she doesn't remember her name?

The only thing she remembers about the
guy is...

Boots.

Red cowboy boots.

I mean, she has... She has parents. She
has kids.

She has a job. She has a life. And
tonight, the only thing she remembers is

cowboy boots.

She's alive.

Yeah.

But the next one might not be so
fortunate.

You did all you could.

Why is it that I only get the help
afterwards?

Why can't I do my job beforehand?

I don't know.

Sometimes I feel so helpless, too.

Angel baby, sometimes the battle is not
ours to fight.

I can't believe you just left.

He doesn't deserve you.

You need someone who appreciates you.

She's so vulnerable right now.

And that cowboy, he's taking advantage
of her.

Love can be a slippery slope.

Isn't that what we're here for? To take
some of that slip out of the slope?

Yes, that's exactly right, Gloria.

So go ahead.

Do your magic.

Oh, maybe you should do it.

I'm not so sure.

I'm not sure about a lot of things.

This is your second chance, Gloria.

Are you ready?

Oh, um, I guess so. Go ahead.

Don't give up now.

I'll be right back.

Don't make me come and find you.

Hello, Christy.

Do I know you?

My name is Gloria.

I saw you earlier at the cafe. I just
didn't get a chance to introduce myself.

This is not a good time. I know.

But it has to be now.

Sorry?

I have a message for you.

A message from Doug?

No.

From God.

God?

I'm an angel, Christy.

And God wants you to know the truth.

Please. Please.

Normally, something's supposed to be
happening right about now.

Oh, I'm sure it does.

This is when everybody starts laughing
at you when the bartender sends you home

in a taxi.

No, no.

This is where I usually glow with God's
love.

Please leave me alone.

I am having a bad day, and this is not
making it any better.

Glowing? I'm not glowing.

No, but you're babbling.

Does that count?

God loves you, Christy.

And he wants your life to be filled with
all kinds of wonderful things.

Who's this?

She thinks she's an angel.

Oh, no.

You're the angel.

Come on.

Let's get us one more for the road.

No, no, please, stop.

Christy, there's more.

Oh, dear.

What?

Not even a...

A touch of a glow.

I've never seen that before.

What does that mean?

I'm sorry to have to tell you this,
Gloria, but that means God doesn't love

anymore.

It's been a pleasure, ladies.

Father, Gloria is so afraid of letting
you down and now she's out there in

trouble and she needs to hear the truth.

Telling the truth is what I do best.

So please, tell me where to go.

I've got to deliver a message.

So, how was the big anniversary?

What is she doing here?

Who are you calling she?

Hey.

Lady, you've got one lead foot.

Excuse me?

I don't know how you got here before us.
I'll tell you.

Got here from where?

The Black Boot.

We were just there.

The Black Boot.

Sally, I want you to do me a favor,
okay?

What? I want you to tell Christy that if
she thinks that her new boyfriend is

better than me just because he's got
some cowboy clothes and a pair of stupid

red boots, that she can keep him.

All right?

No.

Ted? Yes.

Go.

It's time to go.

This is the worst day of my life.

I let my assignment down.

I let God down.

Now you're telling me he doesn't love me
anymore?

It's not the end of the world, Gloria.

Although I suppose it actually is the
end of yours, isn't it?

He said that God knows that I'm not
perfect.

That if I let him down, he'll forgive
me.

Well, I'm sure he'll forgive you.

It's just that he clearly made a mistake
by making you a caseworker, and now

he's cutting his losses.

That doesn't make a mistake.

God is perfect.

Oh.

Well.

Even God is entitled to a wee mistake
now and then.

Oh, my.

Oh, you're what?

You're not Monica?

Oh, yes.

That always trips me up. I just can't
quite grasp the God is perfect thing.

Who, what? You must be some sort of
demon.

Gee, devil, not nice thing. I prefer
hateful hottie. I gave that to myself.

Her name is Monique.

Monica.

You are Monica, right? Yes, I am,
Gloria.

Well, well, well.

Look what the Lord dragged in.

It's all over, Monique.

You've lost.

Oh, really?

Well, by my count, I have one broken -up
marriage, one very confused

angel. Not bad for a weeknight. And
don't forget one woman in terrible

Auntie? The cowboy.

Is he one of yours?

Not officially, but I am a big fan of
his work.

Who? The cowboy?

I'm so confused.

That's how the enemy works, Gloria.

Lies of all sizes designed to muddy the
water, throw you off balance and make

you question who you are.

Yes, that's exactly what she did.

It's all making sense now.

Really?

How about now?

Don't be fooled, Gloria.

I am Monica.

It's another lie, Gloria. Don't listen
to her.

Gloria, together we could send her back
where she came from.

Don't believe her. She's a master
manipulator.

I don't know what to do.

She's trying to trick you, to confuse
and destroy you.

Yes, no!

Listen to your heart, Gloria. You know
that it's me.

It doesn't matter which of us is Monica
right now. What matters is that you help

Christy.

God will protect Christy.

Use your head.

Gloria, why do you think God gave you
that wonderful brain?

Think. Think very hard about this.

No, don't use your head right now.

Your head is confused.

And don't listen to your heart. Your
heart is fearful.

Listen to God.

Be still and know that he is near.

Let God tell you what to do.

I'm an angel with a job to do.

And this experience has given me wisdom.

Thank you, Monica.

Thank you.

Well done, Gloria.

Well done.

I have to go, but will you be all right?

Yes, of course.

Although I can't say the same for
Monique.

You are good, Monica.

That's not a compliment, by the way.

I'm not interested in your compliments
or anything else that you have to say.

Fine. Shall we just cut to the good
versus evil catfight?

Fighting hate with more hate is never
the answer.

But when we resist evil, it loses power.

Goodbye, Monique.

Come on now. Come on.

He's always trying to run.

I told you not to run.

Why are you going to fight? Let go of
me, please.

Let go of me, please.

Stop.

Let her go.

Help me. You shut up now, you hear me?

I'll take care of you later.

In the name of God, let her go.

Who are you? I'm another angel.

I'm somebody who wants to meet you.

Oh, God.

What have I done?

Nothing that can't be undone.

Now, when she gets here, Doug...

You have to be understanding and
forgiving and ready to take

yourself for all of this. It's not every
day you get a band of angels stepping

in to help, so you be ready to listen.

And one more thing.

Young lady, you are out of here.

Well, why do I have to leave?

Because three's a crowd.

There's a cab waiting outside for you.

Yeah, right.

Get me out of here.

Are you okay?

I think so.

Don't tell me.

Angel?

Yes.

I am.

And I have a message for both of you
from God.

Of course, it might have been more
helpful had I given it to you earlier,

sometimes even angels let things get in
the way.

You open the door just a crack, and evil
steps in and takes advantage of all

your fears and insecurities.

You both opened that door, too.

You let each other down. You didn't
honor the vows you made before God.

You were inexperienced, and now you're
experienced.

And experience brings wisdom.

God is here.

And he loves us.

In spite of all the mistakes.

And he has a plan for us all.

He even sent me my own angel to prove
it.

It's a brand new day.

She's come a long way.

She sure has, angel boy.

Tess, would it be okay if we... Bonded?
Or chilled?

Do whatever you want to do.

Just don't do it in my car.
