Eva Longoria: Gabrielle Solis

Quotes 

• Father Crowley : Gabrielle, the Church is pretty clear about this. If you commit a mortal sin and you die without repenting, you go to hell.

  Gabrielle Solis : Aren't you just a ball of fun?

  [pauses, sighs] 

  Gabrielle Solis : So, if I confess, it will clean the slate, right?

  Father Crowley : Not only that, if you want God's forgiveness, you have to be truly sorry and you have to promise not to commit the sin again.

  Gabrielle Solis : So what happens if I repent... later? Like, say, when I'm 75?

  Father Crowley : I wouldn't recommend waiting. What if you die before then?

  Gabrielle Solis : Well, let's say I *don't* die? I... do yoga, I eat well. If I wait, does my repenting still count?

  Father Crowley : If you mean it, yes.

  Gabrielle Solis : Thank you, Father Crowley.

  [grabs purse] 

  Gabrielle Solis : You have been a tremendous comfort. Um, I will let you do your thing.

  [quickly walks away] 

  Father Crowley : Gabrielle,

  [Gabrielle stops and turns to face him] 

  Father Crowley : you know we are all responsible for the choices we make. Don't you wanna be a good person?

  Gabrielle Solis : What I want is to be happy.

  Father Crowley : That's the answer of a selfish child.

  Gabrielle Solis : I know.
