Chuck: Remember, mind over matter will make Pooh unfatter.
Emerson: I might be stucked, but I can still reach my gun

Narrator: The pie maker considered the choices he made that brought him to this very moment. A moment that may be his last... the irony of being struck down by the man who murdered the twin of the man he killed, was not lost on the pie maker. Also not lost: his agility

Alfredo: Might I make an observation?
Olive: Compliment or criticism?
Alfredo: A neutral thought I would say. It's not a compliment nor critical.
Olive: Neutral thought, gives me pause!
Alfredo: Neutrafully this portion of the conversation but I do have complimentary observation as part of a followup discussion, which I intend to headline with an offer to repair your espresso machine.
Olive: What's your neutral thought?
Alfredo: You seem decidedly unhappy.
Olive: I haven't decided that!

(thoughtful) Pie Hole... I like it, it's provocative.

Ned: What did you say it was, besides mysterious?
Emerson: I have not yet expressed my opinion.
Ned: Would you care to express it now?
Emerson: My opinion is you need to take a coupon for this conversation and redeem it at another date.
Ned: I want to use my coupon now.
Emerson: Redeem it tomorrow. There's somebody in the county fridge you need to talk to.

Ned: Why are you still talking?
Emerson: I'm rippin' off the Bandaid!
Ned: I'm not a ripper, I pull up a corner a little at a time and then run it under warm water and I pull it up a little more. It's a process.

Emerson: I need to chat with Lawrence Schatz before he goes into the ground. Tomorrow.

Ned

Ned: Of course you did. Everything we do is a choice: oatmeal or cereal, highway or side street, kiss her or keep her. We make choices and we live with the consequences. If someone gets hurt along the way we ask for forgiveness. It's the best anyone can do

Chuck: You won't even know I'm here.
Emerson: 'Cause you're leaving?
Chuck: No.

Chuck: Do you believe in reincarnation?
Emerson: Hell no. The planet's falling apart. Right now, it's the children's problem. We reincarnate, it's our problem

Vivian: Charlotte was a nice girl.
Lily: With the exception of puberty.
Vivian: Which was when Lily was going through a change of life.
Lily: Impolite to talk about one's menopause in mixed company.
