Quotes 

• Gabriel : I'm an angel. I kill firstborns while their mamas watch. I turn cities into salt. I even, when I feel like it, rip the souls from little girls, and from now till kingdom come, the only thing you can count on in your existence is never understanding why.

• Thomas Daggett : If you wanted to prove your side was right, Gabriel, so badly, why didn't you just ask Him? Why didn't you ask God?

  Gabriel : Because He doesn't talk to me any more.

• Gabriel : Do you know how you got that dent, in your top lip? Way back, before you were born, I told you a secret, then I put my finger there and I said "Shhhhh!"

• Gabriel : Study your math, kids. Key to the Universe.

• Catherine : Go to hell!

  Gabriel : Heaven, darling. Heaven. At least get the zip code right.

  Catherine : It's all the same to you, isn't it?

  Gabriel : No. In heaven, we believe in love.

  Catherine : What do you love, Gabriel?

  Gabriel : Cracking your skull.

• Gabriel : Jerry, come here. If you were a soul, where would you hide?

  Jerry : The hell away from you.

• Simon : I'm so tired of this war.

  Gabriel : Reject the lie Simon. Join us! Help us make it like it was before the monkeys. You remember? We cast out Lucifer's army, you and I. We threw their rebel thrones from the wall.

  Simon : They wanted to be gods.

  Gabriel : I don't wanna be a god Simon. I just wanna make it like it was, before the lie. When he loved us best.

• Gabriel : Eternity here in that sagging skin suit, or one more day with me?

  Rachael : Why?

  Gabriel : Can't drive. But I can wait. Until stars burn out if you don't make up your mind.

• Catherine : Who are you?

  Gabriel : That's a long story.

• [Thomas has just killed Jerry] 

  Gabriel : Pest! You have any idea how hard it is to get one of those?

• Gabriel : This war is mine!

  Lucifer : Your war is arrogance. That makes it evil. That's mine.

  Gabriel : Lucifer. Sitting in your basement. Sulking over your break up with the boss. You're nothing.

  Lucifer : Time to come home, Gabriel.

• Gabriel : It's not here.

  Jerry : Bad news for the war effort.

  Gabriel : Shut up!

• Gabriel : It's a big universe Jerry and some things in it are talking monkey work. Monkeys, like you.

• Gabriel : I will not allow any talking monkey to take my place! I'll burn down Heaven to stop it.

• Gabriel : [to Daggett]  It's unusual seeing someone your age in a Church on a weeknight. Don't get me wrong. I think it's a sign of excellent character.

• Gabriel : Nice move. Beautifully done. Tommy, you ought to come work for me upstairs. I could get you in now. You'll love it. No one tells you when to go to bed. You eat all the ice cream you want. You get to kill all day all night, just like an Angel!
