Secret secrets are no fun. Secret secrets hurt someone.

Dooley

[Scott] was a fine genius. He made all the money with his special talent, his God-given gift. And you did nothing but warm his bed. Makes you sort of a parasite, doesn't it?

Dooley [to Lisey]

Dooley: Feeling better?
Lisey: I'll feel better when you're gone.
Dooley: Fair enough.

Isn't this just the cutest song?

Dooley: Now, Mrs., that isn't a bit nice.

It seems you don't get how serious this business is although I think a dead crow in the mailbox would be pretty hard to misunderstand.

Dooley [to Lisey]

Wow. First wine, then cigarettes, and now Hamburger Helper. That's what Dandy Dave would have called "eating nasty."

Darla [to Lisey]

Grief is a bool hunt.

Lisey [to Darla]

The only person who can bring you back is yourself.

Lisey [to Amanda]

I have visions. I write 'em down and people pay to read 'em.

Scott [to Lisey]

My husband had a lot of fans that weren't, you know, wired together right. He called them Deep Space Cowboys.

Lisey [to cop]

Lisey: Did you ask the doctors if she's even allowed to have them?
Darla: I don't fucking know. I haven't memorized the loony bin handbook.

Lisey's Story Quotes

Every marriage keeps its own secrets.
