Beyond The Edge

To Live and Die in L.A. - Opening (1985)

Bridge-Troll :

How did you happen to fall in? 

Clarence, The Watchmaker,

Angel, Second-class :

I didn't fall in. I jumped in 

to save George. 

Will :

You what? To...

to Save me? 

Clarence, The Watchmaker,

Angel, Second-class :

Well, I did, didn't I? You didn't 

go through with it, did you?

Will :

Go through with what?

Clarence, The Watchmaker,

Angel, Second-class :

Suicide. 

Bridge-Troll :

Well, it's against The Law to 

commit suicide around here.

Clarence, The Watchmaker,

Angel, Second-class :

Yeah, it's against The Law 

where I come from, too.

Bridge-Troll :”

Where do you come from?

Clarence, The Watchmaker,

Angel, Second-class :

Heaven! I had to act quickly. 

That's why I jumped in. I knew 

if I were drowning you'd 

try to save me. 

And you see, you did, and 

that's how I saved you.

At one point Ruth 

looks out the window 

of her house towards 

a distant bridge. 

She turns to Chance and says, 

"If you had any guts, you'd 

jump off THAT bridge."

The bridge that agent Chance bungee-jumps from 

in the opening act is the 

Vincent Thomas Bridge. 

This is the same bridge 

that director Tony Scott 

committed suicide by 

jumping from in 2012.
