Pushing Daisies

Olive: This is what it is, isn’t it? …Unless that isn’t a rolling pin under your apron.
Ned: Sorry…[shows rolling pin in the apron]
Olive: Oh, isn’t it great we can joke? Now that we that we know that there’s nothing going on between us and never was. It can be funny. I bet this sort of thing happens all the time between adults. Mixed romantic messages. In no time we’ll be looking back and laugh until we wet the rug. Which we’ll then want to shampoo. Couple times. Possibly three, depending on what we were drinking.

Olive: Look carefully, ladies: this is your future.
Lily: Is it vodka?
Olive: Water.
Lily: As in Russian for vodka?
Olive: As in English. For H20.
Vivian: Lily doesn’t believe in water anymore. She thinks it’s a waste of a perfectly good tumbler.

Chuck [on the stages of grief]: Something, something, something, something, acceptance.

Chuck: Am I the seriously the first person to question your aversion to change? What about your ex-girlfriends?
Ned: I’ve had girlfriends. But there were always extraneous factors…You know, we, um, grew apart and lost interest. Had intimate relations on a bearskin rug …
Chuck: Oh, no. Did it [clawing her hand]?
Ned: It did enough to be upsetting.

Emerson: Death by scratch and sniff. What the hell happened to people shooting each other with guns?

Emerson: And if the sacred cash cow I worship is mooing down on us…

Narrator: Anxious to sniff out more information, our heroes sought out Napoleon LeNez, scratch and sniff author, in his suite above the city and immediately found themselves in an alarming situation.
Napoleon LeNez: Do not be alarmed by the situation.

Emerson: Your book was a bomb.
Napoleon: Who are you to criticize my life’s work?!
Emerson: Your book was a bomb. It exploded.

Olive: [looking at the TV] Look there’s the killer.
[Someone walks inside Pie Hole]
Chuck: Look, there’s the killer.
Olive: Oh, lord.

Chuck: Oh! Then I’ll be polite and say, “Oh, I’m sorry I forgot my purse and I’ve got no pockets”.
Emerson: Uh huh…well, hey somebody see, now I’m gonna need to see some ID on the account that you look just like that dead girl that got herself killed on that tropical cruise.
Ned: I’ll say something like “What is this? A police state?!”…If I ever say that it means I’m having a panic attack.

Chuck: Ned!
Ned: Chuck!
Napoleon: Oscar!
Oscar: Napoleon!
….
Olive: … Hi, Emerson!
Emerson: Hey, Olive.
