Moroni Olsen: Senior Angel

Quotes 

• Senior Angel : A man down on Earth needs our help.

  Clarence : Splendid. Is he sick?

  Senior Angel : No, worse. He's discouraged.

• Senior Angel : [voice-over]  Hello Joseph, trouble?

  Joseph - Angel : [voice-over]  Looks like we'll have to send someone down. There are a lot of people asking for help for a man named George Bailey.

  Senior Angel : [voice-over]  George Bailey? Yes! Tonight's his crucial night. You're right. We'll have to send someone down immediately. Whose turn is it?

  Joseph - Angel : [voice-over]  That's why I came to see you, sir. It's that clock maker's turn again.

  Senior Angel : [chuckles] 

  [voice-over] 

  Senior Angel : Oh, Clarence. Hasn't gotten his wings yet, has he?

  Joseph - Angel : [voice-over]  We passed him up right along. Because, you know sir, he's got the IQ of a rabbit.

  Senior Angel : [voice-over]  Yes, but he's got the faith of a child. Simple. Joseph, send for Clarence.

  Clarence : [voice-over]  You sent for me, sir?

  Senior Angel : [voice-over]  Yes, Clarence. A man down on earth needs our help.

  Clarence : [voice-over]  Splendid. Is he sick?

  Senior Angel : [voice-over]  No, worse. He's discouraged. At exactly 10:45 pm Earth time, that man will be thinking seriously about throwing away God's greatest gift.

  Clarence : [voice-over]  Oh, dear, dear. His life. Then I've only got one hour to dress. What are they wearing now?

  Senior Angel : [voice-over]  You will spend that hour getting acquainted with George Bailey.

  Clarence : [voice-over]  Sir, if I should accomplish this mission, I mean... um. Might I perhaps win my wings? I've been waiting for over 200 years now, sir, and people ARE beginning to talk.

  Senior Angel : [voice-over]  What's that book you've got there?

  Clarence : [voice-over]  Oh, oh, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

  Senior Angel : [voice-over]  Clarence, you do a good job with George Bailey and you will get your wings.
