Gabriel: I won't hurt you.

Sloth: You are different.

[Gabriel settles down on the ground.]

Gabriel: I am lost.

Envy: Because you are different, are you going to hurt us?

Gabriel: No, I won't. I promise you that.

Anger: People like you kill our kind. We are accused of possessing humans. We are ugly.

Envy: She is so pretty. [She touches the angel's hair]

Anger: Pretty girls kill ugly children.

Sloth: I'm scared of her. She's too beautiful. Mama warned me not to get close to beautiful people. They will kill me.

Envy: Isn't that great though?

Gabriel: It is great but you'd always want more. You'd underestimate everything you have. That is very different.

Anger: Is that why Lucifer fell?

Gabriel: I don't know.
