Quotes
|
Rose Lorkowski: There's not a lot that I am good at. But I'm good at getting guys to want me. Not date me, or marry me, but want me. Lynn: How'd she die? Norah: It was sorta a do-it-yourself thing? [first lines] Talking Deer Head: Attention all fellow deer. If you find deer feed in the middle of the forest, be a bit suspicious. Oscar Lorkowski: [barely old enough to repeat all the jargon] We're gonna make a money pool, cause it's the smart way. It's capital, you don't spend it, you invest it. So that way we can get to do SP-250, and with money left over. Norah: [about phone call] What was that? Rose Lorkowski: [excitedly] A suicide. Norah: [to young nephew] It's a good thing. Oscar Lorkowski: [into the CB] Where was I before I was born? Oscar Lorkowski: What happens when we die? Oscar Lorkowski: If you already live in heaven, where do you go when you die? Oscar Lorkowski: Can you see everything down here? Rose Lorkowski: [explaining her job] I mean because people don't realize the safety risks involved with the removal of - blood and body fluids. Heather: I cannot imagine. You like it? Rose Lorkowski: [bravely] Yeah. I do. Um, we come into people's lives when they have experienced something profound - and sad. And they've lost somebody, you know? And um, the circumstances, they're always different. But that's the same. And we help. In some small way we, um, we help. Joe Lorkowski: It's a business lie, it's different from a life lie. |
