Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes : Why would I do that?
David Addison Jr. : I dunno. That's what you always do.
-
David Addison Jr. : Maddie, why are we doing this?
Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes : David, we were hired to do a job. We failed. We have a responsibility to inform our client.
David Addison Jr. : We have a responsibility to protect our client. She came to us because she was scared of her husband. Call me oversensitive, but I do not think we should walk into her house first thing in the morning and tell her he ceased to be deceased.
Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes : Ceased to be deceased? Who said he ceased to be deceased?
David Addison Jr. : Well, how else are you gonna explain a stiff taking a stroll?

David Addison Jr. : Oh, forgive me. You know how life works?

Dr. Nealy : I'm Dr. Nealy. Can I help you?
Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes : I'm Madelyn Hayes and this is David Addison. We're investigators. We'd like to ask you a question about Mr. Kandinski, the magician.
Dr. Nealy : And that would be what?
Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes : When you sent him to the mortuary, was he dead?
Dr. Nealy : Was he dead? No. He just checked in, had his chest cracked open, his lungs drained, his brain weighed, and his stomach emptied onto a table. After that he walked out of here and caught a bus. Hell, yes, he was dead!
