Heavenly Friend: [after Billy hits Louise's hand] Failure. You struck out blindly again. Is that the only way you know how to treat those you love? Failure.
Julie Jordan: Where is he?
[sees Billy and is shaken]
Billy Bigelow: I don't want her to see me.
Heavenly Friend: [waves arm] Then she doesn't.
Billy Bigelow: I think she saw me before I said it.
Louise Bigelow: He's gone! I didn't make it up, Mother. Honest, there was a strange man here and he hit me hard. I heard the sound of it. But it didn't hurt, Mother! It didn't hurt at all. It was almost as if - he kissed my hand! Don't you believe me, Mother?
Julie Jordan: I believe you.
Louise Bigelow: Then why are you acting so funny?
Julie Jordan: It's nothing, darling.
Louise Bigelow: But is it possible, Mother, for someone to hit you hard like tha - real loud and hard - and not hurt you at all?
Julie Jordan: It's possible, dear - for someone to hit you - hit you hard and not hurt at all.

[Julie takes the star and leaves]
Billy Bigelow: [speaking] She took the star! She took it! It's as if she knew I was here.
Heavenly Friend: Julie would always know.
