the things I speak

Watching an older favorite movie. In a moment of character development, Storm is speaking to Nightcrawler and the following exchange is uttered:

Storm: What are they? (referring to marks all over Nightcrawler's body)
Nightcrawler: Angelic symbols passed down to man by the archangel Gabriel.
S: How many are there?
NC: One for every sin, so quite a few. . . . Someone so beautiful should not be so angry.
S: Sometimes anger can help you survive.
NC: So can faith.
