Elliott Street: Joel Fisher

Quotes 

• Joel Fisher : [getting the mail]  Thank you. Joel Fisher... Joel Fisher... Joel Fisher... Henry Norman?

  [voice over] 

  Joel Fisher : Well, let me tell you - I was just about to hand it back and say, "Hey, man - right box, wrong name" and then I felt it. One of those lovely plastic rectangles that spells out 'instant credit'. It seems that old big ugly, that giant computer that's trying to stick numbers on people had finally blew one and I must say it couldn't have happened to a nicer group even though it was a mistake.

• Sheriff : What did you put in that report?

  Joel Fisher : Just the date, and I gave a cause of accidental death. Why?

  Sheriff : The report the FBI men in Washington got was that Normand killed himself by jumping out of a window, and they picked it up the day before it really happened.

• Art Fletcher : Joel, we should call your parents and have them come and get you.

  Joel Fisher : My parents are dead.
