My name’s Lassiter, and I’ll tell you all you need to know about me. I’m an angel first and a sinner second, and I’m not here for long. I’ll never hurt you, but I’m prepared to make you pretty goddamn uncomfortable if I have to, to get my job done. I like sunsets and long walks on the beach, but my perfect female no longer exists. Oh, and my favorite hobby is annoying the shit out of people. Guess I’m just bred to want to get a rise out of folks—probably the whole resurrection thing.

“Xhex took me for a motorcycle ride—or is it motorbike?”“Either one works.” Death trap. Donor cycle. Whatevs.
“If this is another Beaches marathon, I’m going to Bette your ass until you can’t sit down.”“Aw, look at you! Trying to be finny.”“Seriously, if you have any compassion in you at all, you’ll let me go to bed—”“I have peanut M&M’s up there.”“Not my style.”“Raisinets.”“Feh.”“Sam Adams.”Tohr narrowed his eyes. “Cold?”“Downright icy.”Tohr crossed his arms over his chest and told himself he was not pouting like a five-year-old. “I want Milk Duds.”v “Got ’em. And popcorn.”
“Man, this angel crap… it’s so fucking hard to influence anything. I’ve never had a problem with free will before, but for shit’s sake, I wish I could just I Dream of Jeannie you to where you need to be.” As Tohr winced, the angel muttered, “It’s okay, though. We’ll get you there somehow—”“Actually, I’m cringing at the vision of you in a pink harem costume.”“Hey, I have a great ass, I’ll have you know.”

You almost died tonight, he wanted to say. You dumb son of a bitch, you nearly died … and then what would we have done?And not “we” as in the Brotherhood.Not even “we” as in he and John. More like … “me.”

~ Epilógus
"(…) and anytime you want the clicker, it’s yours for the taking.”Lassiter barked out a laugh. “Damn, you really are grateful.”
