Quotes
-
[Madeline spots the groundskeeper approaching. Fiona misreads her face]
Fiona Glenanne : Oh, don't worry, it's safe now. Totally harmless.
Madeline Westen : No, no, no, it's not that. Um, what do you people say, "I think we have company"?
Fiona Glenanne : Oh, dammit. Look, I need a sec to get this out and cover it up. Could you, uh...?
[Madeline takes off her sunglasses, reads the name "Quinton Gordon" from the gravestone, and goes to intercept the groundskeeper]
Groundskeeper : I thought I saw somebody over here.
Madeline Westen : [angry] Are you in charge of this place?
Groundskeeper : I'm the caretaker. You tell me what that truck is doing here?
Madeline Westen : What does it look like? I had to hire a landscaper.
Groundskeeper : Ma'am, you can't do that. It's not authorized.
Madeline Westen : Someone had to take care of Quinn's grave. You certainly haven't.
[the groundskeeper tries to look behind Madeline, but she turns him around to face the other way]
Madeline Westen : And, what, would you look at me when I'm talking to you? People have no respect. I'm grieving here. I'm dealing with the pain of a very serious loss and-and-and you-you're just letting his grave go to hell! Do you have any idea how painful that is?
Groundskeeper : Ma'am, are you confused? This is an historic cemetary. Everyone here's been dead for over a century.
[True. Quinton Gordon died in 1907]
Madeline Westen : Well, it's not about how long it's been, it's about how much you love somebody! My great, great... *great* uncle Quinton. This is so important to our family!
Groundskeeper : I'm sorry. We'll try to do better?
Madeline Westen : Thank you.
Fiona Glenanne : Uh, Mrs. Becker? I'm done. Are you ready?
Madeline Westen : Oh, right! Bye.
