Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : Hi, Emerson! Isn't this exciting?
[she gets out and he locks her out of the car]
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : Hey!
Emerson Cod : What's she doing here?
Ned : Said she didn't climb out of her coffin for me to keep her in a box.
Emerson Cod : She the boss of you?
Ned : I'm the boss of me!
Emerson Cod : Dead girl's gotta go.
Ned : Dead girl's not going anywhere.
Emerson Cod : You don't know nothin about her except she had soft lips when she was ten!
Ned : That should be enough.
Emerson Cod : Well, I don't like it.
[he gets out and Chuck gets in, locking him out]
Emerson Cod : Hey!
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : What did you guys talk about?
Ned : I'd really like to get out of this car soon.
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : Is he upset you brought your childhood sweetheart back to life?
Ned : He barely knows you're here
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : Do I really have to sit in back from now on?
Ned : It's for your own safety.
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : You sound like my dad.
Ned : If my hand brushes yours you'd be dead.
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : He didn't say that.
Ned : [locking the doors] So it's probably better if you stay in the car for these morgue visits. Someone might recognize you. You really can't come in
[All three of them standing in the morgue office]
Ned : Did I say "can" because I swallow my consonants sometimes "n't", "n't", "caN'T come in"
Emerson Cod : [to Coroner] Got that hit and run?
Ned : We're from the Government Safety Place?
Coroner : Is that a question?
Ned : Government Safety Place
Coroner : Mmmm-hmmmmmm

Ned : I hate secrets, too.
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : What? You love secrets. You want to marry secrets and have little half-secret, half-human babies.

Narrator : The Pie Maker considered what the sentence would be for breaking and entering with no prior convictions.
Ned : [Emerson pulls out an ID card] Where'd you get that?
Emerson Cod : Contacted the company that makes these doors under false pretenses. they gave me a sample ID badge, which I digitally altered using the magnetic code that matches the serial number of this machine. Is that cheating?
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : I dunno. Cause this?
[pulls out an identical ID card]
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : I gave the security guard a hug goodbye, my upper body distracted him, while these things I call "hands" took this off his belt.
Narrator : At that moment, the Pie Maker felt a mixture of happiness and trepidation.
Ned : Why is it always a mixture?
-
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : Emerson thinks I'm useless. Am I useless?
Ned : No, you're not useless. "Useless" is an empty soap dispenser in the restroom standing around reminding people what you could be doing, but doing nothing at all.

[while escaping from Mark Chase in the Dandy Lion SX]
Emerson Cod : Can't this thing go any faster?
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : Some car of the future this is!
Ned : I thought cars of the future were supposed to fly! What the hell happened to flying cars?
-
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : [Regarding Emerson] Is he upset you brought your childhood sweetheart back to life?
Ned : He barely knows you're here.
Narrator : In fact, Emerson Cod had finished knitting a sweater vest and two handgun cozies in the week since Chuck's return.
-
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : We haven't seen each other in like 20 years, don't you want to know about me? I want to know everything about you.
Ned : Look, we've all done things we're not proud of, we all have secrets.
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : What secrets?
Emerson Cod : Skeletons in the closet.
Ned : Exactly. How long have you been listening?
Emerson Cod : There are *skeletons* in the *closet*.

Emerson Cod : [Ned has just re-animated Bernard] Ask the question.
Ned : Mr. Slaybeck, do you...
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : [Interrupts] Do you have any last requests? Some unfinished business with this life we can help you with?
Emerson Cod : [to Ned] Don't let her do this.
Bernard Slaybeck : Is this heaven?
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : Could be.
Emerson Cod : No, it's not.
Bernard Slaybeck : [Looks at Emerson] Is that God?
Emerson Cod : No, it's not.
Bernard Slaybeck : I'm confused because I'm a Buddhist.
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : Buddhism's fascinating, isn't it? Did it help you in your final moments?
Emerson Cod : She wasting my minute.
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : What's with this minute and when did it become your minute?
Emerson Cod : It sure the hell ain't yours.
Ned : Hey, it's everyone's minute, or uh, twenty-two seconds.
Bernard Slaybeck : [Interrupts their discussion] Can you get a message to Earth? Can you tell Jeanine in Promotions that I loved her?
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : Of course.
Ned : Mr. Slaybeck, if you could remember anything about whoever was driving the hit-and-run vehicle that killed you, I think we could get you some justice.
Bernard Slaybeck : What hit-and-run? I was killed by a crash test dummy.
[Ned touches him and he falls back dead again]
-
Emerson Cod : I'm not God, but if I was, I'd be an angry god.
Ned : Oh, we gave it our best shot. So a crash test dummy killed Bernard.
Emerson Cod : Bernard was delusional.
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : Still a clue.
Emerson Cod : It's a dead end. And not the kind of dead end you can undead and then re-dead again.
[pointedly to Chuck]
Emerson Cod : Like you're supposed to.
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : It's my fault?
Emerson Cod : When you get all Jabberwocky in my minute, it's hard to follow up on "The dummy did it". Gotta get some real leads now.
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : Isn't that what a P.I.'s supposed to do? Investigate? Isn't that the fun part?
Emerson Cod : The fun part's counting my money in the bubble bath
