Scene - "Earning Your Wings"
GABRIELLA
(Appears on Stairway to Heaven and watches PEGGY and DAVID
dance. She smiles at them as DAVID dips PEGGY and they laugh. After
a moment she speaks:)
I hate to interrupt you but…
PEGGY
You’re back? But I thought I become a lost soul. I broke the rules. I have me
memories.
GABRIELLA
Yes, you did break the rules. And David, they’re not too happy with you down below
either.
DAVID
Are they ever happy down there?
GABRIELLA
Hardly ever.
DAVID
Did you come tell us that we’ve become lost souls? Because I think it is obvious.
PEGGY
I can’t think of a better person to be lost with though.
GABRIELLA
I’ve come to tell you that you’ve found a loop hole in the rules.
PEGGY
A loop hole?
GABRIELLA
Lost souls are trapped by their memories, but they also have unfinished business. The
two of you took care of your unfinished business. You, Peggy, not only let Rick go,
but you helped him to find happiness in the process. And you, David, helped resolve a
problem you caused for Rick… taking his true love away.
DAVID
It’s the least I could do.
GABRIELLA
The people downstairs aren’t too happy about it.
(Rumbling from below)
Quiet you.
(Rumbling stops)
But you’ve made the people upstairs very happy.
DAVID
That would be a first.
GABRIELLA
I call it just in time redemption.
DAVID
Redemption. Me?
GABRIELLA
And both of you have found something that always tugs at our heart strings up here…
DAVID
Killer dance moves?
(Does a little spin)
GABRIELLA
No, you’ve found love.
PEGGY
(Takes DAVID’s hands)
I know I have.
DAVID
Me too.
GABRIELLA
So, Peggy. You have accomplished your mission. You have earned your wings.
(Heavenly lights and sounds. GABRIELLA or other ANGELS can put
wings on PEGGY)
DAVID
(Smiles at PEGGY)
So how many of you can fit on the head of a needle?
GABRIELLA
And for you David…
DAVID
No pitchfork in my future huh?
GABRIELLA
No, I’m afraid you have a second chance.
DAVID
I was afraid of that.
GABRIELLA
I have a mission for you now.
DAVID
Another mission?
GABRIELLA
And Peggy will be your guide.
DAVID
Now I’m liking this.
GABRIELLA
You two are a good team.
DAVID
So… before I go, do I get a little peak upstairs?
GABRIELLA
It is against the rules.
PEGGY
Perhaps you can find a loop hole?
GABRIELLA
Perhaps I can. Come on.
(PEGGY takes DAVID’s arm and they follow GABRIELLA up to
heaven).
