Four Los Angelenos -- a mortician, an ex-con, a suicidal ex-priest, and a stripper -- are brought together on Christmas Eve by a mixture of circumstances.

Slim: If she ain't dead, she'll be out here on Friday night, or at the Geisha Dungeon.
Charlie: Geisha Dungeon? What's that?
Slim: The devil's lair.
Jack Doheny: I got you two tickets to go to anywhere in the world.
Lexus: Do you want love in your life?
Charlie: Yeah.
Lexus: Then open your heart.
Jack Doheny: Just stop.
Rose Johnny: Are you afraid of me?
Jack Doheny: I'm old enough to be your father.
Rose Johnny: Most of them are.
Qwerty Doolittle: I know that you are going to say it's time for you to leave, but I don't, I don't want you to go yet. I want you to stay.
Rose Johnny: Are you sure?
Qwerty Doolittle: Yeah. You can stay here, I have plenty of blankets. You can stay the night.
Rose Johnny: I don't even know your name.
Velvet Larry: But on Christmas Eve, I'm gonna have a lot of very lonely people out of my club. Some even thinking about killing themselves. And they come here looking for companionship. They're looking for a little bit of love. They are looking for a little bit of hope.
Rose Johnny: You're not from around here are you?
Jack Doheny: No, just passing through.
Rose Johnny: Yeah I thought so. You're too nice.
Qwerty Doolittle: In my profession, I see death every day. Some by accident, some by sickness, but some through despair. These are the ones I wish I could have helped.
Randall: Welcome back.
Jack Doheny: Just passing through. I don't have a lot of time to waste.
Randall: I had no choice. After you went down, the feds were watching me like a hawk. I couldn't go down like that. I had a family to take care of.
Jack Doheny: What about me, I didn't have a family? Twenty five years I did, twenty five years. You don't call, you don't write, you don't do shit. We're friends? I swear I would kill you if given a chance.
Randall: I hope the next time we find each other is in heaven.
Charlie: [Stares at the crucifix] Why are you doing this to me? My only sin is love!
Rose Johnny: I love you, sweet pea.
