Leonard Jackson: Cemetery Manager

Quotes 

• Det. Steve Crosetti : [Crosetti, Lewis, and the cemetery manager are supervising an exhumation. A cemetery worker pries on an object with his shovel in the grave and it breaks]  Hey, what was that?

  Cemetery Manager : That's the top. You got the top of the box right there.

  [to the worker] 

  Cemetery Manager : Just get that, pull that out, don't even mess with it.

  Det. Meldrick Lewis : That's a pretty cheap lookin' casket, ain't it?

  Cemetery Manager : Styrofoam. Buried like a hamburger. I could have put him in stainless steel for 2200 dollars. Find that for less than six grand.

  Det. Steve Crosetti : Come on, hurry up, will ya?

  Cemetery Manager : [to the worker]  Hurry up, will ya?

  [back to Crosetti and Lewis] 

  Cemetery Manager : I could have put him in solid cherry for 1800. Try and find that for less than four grand.

  Det. Meldrick Lewis : [Crosetti crosses himself]  He look a little... small, like a, like a prune or somethin'.

  [offers the manager a look at the photo] 

  Det. Meldrick Lewis : Don't ya think he looks heavier in the picture?

  Cemetery Manager : Nobody stays fat down there.
