"Touched by an Angel" Show Me the Way to Go Home (TV Episode 1994) - Kevin Dobson as Coach Earl Rowley

Coach Earl Rowley : You know, until last night, I was afraid of this. Dying.

Monica : Until last night, you weren't really living
Monica : You know, if they let down their guard for - for one minute, or are sloppy for an instant, there's the opening the enemy's waiting fo;r and bingo, they're dead.

Coach Earl Rowley : But this is baseball. These are kids playin' against kids. Not the enemy.

Monica : No difference. Today it's baseball.Someday it'll be something else. Kids gotta learn to fight to win in a job, or...

Coach Earl Rowley : Or in a war?... So that's how it happened. In a war. You got sloppy and you got hurt. Are you really trying to save these kids from the same thing? Or do you just need to make someone pay for it?
Monica : How you doing, Coach?

Coach Earl Rowley : That's a stupid question.

Monica : Well, technically it's meant to be kind of a - an ice-breaker.

Coach Earl Rowley : You don't intimidate easily, do you? Could you cower just a little to humor me?
Coach Earl Rowley : Ah, the Angel of Good Cheer. I can't die alone with you hangin' around, you know.
Coach Earl Rowley : [of Adam] I'm just getting acquainted; he's a big baseball fan too.

Monica : Ah, that doesn't surprise me.

Coach Earl Rowley : And I'm stalling for time, huh?
Adam : Batter up, Mr. Rowley.

Coach Earl Rowley : [chuckling] Earl Rowley; rounding third, heading for home... What do I do?

Monica : Just let your guard down.
