Quotes 

• Mimi , Joanne : I'd be happy to die for a taste of what Angel had! Someone to live for, unafraid to say I love you.

• [first lines] 

  Mark , Angel , Maureen , Roger , Collins , Benjamin Coffin III , Mimi : Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes. Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear. Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes. How do you measure, measure a year? In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee. In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife. In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes - how do you measure a year in the life? How about love? How about love? How about love? Measure in love... seasons of love.
