Quotes
- Tru Davies: Do you ever think Mom's still watching us?
- Harrison Davies: God, I hope not... because I'm not sure she'd like what she sees.
- Tru Davies: Yeah... Maybe she's trying to change that.
....
- Tru Davies: What can you say about a woman who comes in with a bullet in her neck?
- Davis: That she's dead?
....
- Meredith Davies: So, what's Harrison's excuse this time? A girl? A truckload of DVDs? A girl with a truckload of DVDs?
....
- Davis: It's called the crypt. It's where every unnatural death in the city comes to rest, waiting for an autopsy.
- Tru Davies: You said "unnatural death"?
- Davis: Most of them. Because if there's even a hint that a death might be unnatural, murder, suicide, they come here.
- Tru Davies: So every crypt...
- Davis: Has a body. That's right. Can you imagine the pain of losing someone before their time? Bottom line: most of these people shouldn't be dead yet.
....
- Davis: You ever been to a morgue before?
- Tru Davies: Just once, when I was 12.
- Davis: Well, that sounds like a story. Are you sure you're interested in wor... in working here? Because, I'll be honest, uh most girls as pretty as you that come here...well they're...they're dead.
....
- Harrison Davies: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you okay? Is everything okay?
- Tru Davies: I'm having a day, Harrison. A day I would gladly explain to you if I thought I could but I can't, so I'm not even gonna try. And I heard another voice.
- Harrison Davies: Wait. I don't understand. You mean like, you mean like Mom?
- Tru Davies: No, not her. Someone else.
- Harrison Davies Dead? Oh, boy.
- Tru Davies: And that's not even the half of it. Believe it or not, that's the half that makes sense. I-I just don't get it. Me of all people, why do they come to me?
- Harrison Davies: Maybe because they know that you'll listen.
- Tru Davies: Do you think I'm crazy?
- Harrison Davies: I never thought you were crazy.
