Quotes 

• Tru Davies : [to Davis]  Just once. Just once I'd like to go somewhere and have everyone stay alive. Is that too much to ask?

• Michelle Carey : That's not what I'm calling about. I've been looking through police reports over the past several months. All sorts. An attempted murder for hire schemes. Attempted mass poisoning. And so on. And the only thing all these very different crimes have in common is, well... you.

  Tru Davies : Yeah. I'm sure I understand.

  Michelle Carey : In all the cases I've look at, you were cited by the would-be victim as the reason he or she is still alive. It's really quite remarkable.

• Lindsay Walker : Now I need to find a replacement. Someone fabulous to fill in. Someone *fabulous* like...

  Tru Davies : Not a chance!

• Tru Davies : Okay, let me ask you: if you don't pay this guy, what would he do to you?

  Harrison Davies : Let me put it to you this way: I may be asking you for help tonight... from beyond.

  Tru Davies : Harrison!

  Harrison Davies : I am joking. Geez. Start saving dead people, all of a sudden you lose your sense of humor.

• Harrison Davies : So she's uh...

  Tru Davies : Dead.

  Harrison Davies : They just always seem to find you, don't they?

  Tru Davies : Unfortuneately, yes.

• Harrison Davies : [Hoping to see a corpse ask for help]  Sorry but I have *got* to see this.

  Tru Davies : Look there's no gurantee it's gonna happen. And even if it does, you won't remember when you wake up tomorrow because it wouldn't have happened yet.

  Harrison Davies : ...Yeah... I think I'll just go wait outside.

• Tru Davies : Oh, hey, if a reporter named Michelle Carrey comes looking for me, just don't answer any questions.

  Davis : Questions? What kind of questions?

  Tru Davies : The kind we don't want to answer.

  Davis : Oh, that kind. Right.

• Tru Davies : Fixing az beauty pageant for your loan shark? What were you thinking?

  Harrison Davies : I...

  Tru Davies : You know it's hard enough saving these people without *always* having to bail out your ass out of trouble.

  Harrison Davies : But... that's like our thing. You know?

• Luc Johnston : Well, maybe I overreacted, all right? Maybe I could learn to live with those things.

  Tru Davies : No, you didn't. And you couldn't. Because as much as I'd like to, I'll never be able to change. That's who I am. That's who I'll always be. And because of that, I'll have to give up things, sometimes really great things. I'm sorry Luc.

  Luc Johnston : Don't be.

  Tru Davies : No. I'm sorry for me.

• Davis : [Speaking of Michelle]  She does know something that I've known for a long time. Not that she'll ever be able to prove it, mind you. And maybe I should have told you sooner, but I didn't want to confuse you even more.

  Tru Davies : Davis.

  Davis : ...Before you, there was someone else. A woman. She relived days. She could prevent death. Once you asked me why I believed you, how readily I accepted what you can do. And that's why. Because I met her. And as many times as you read her file, it's never going to be in there. It was your mother. What you can do, she could do too.

• [talking about a financial situation Harrison has gotten himself into] 

  Tru : What happens if you don't pay?

  Harrison Davies : I'll be in trouble.

  Tru : How much trouble?

  Harrison Davies : Let's just say I may be asking for your help at the end of the night... you know, from beyond.

  Tru : HARRISON!

  Harrison Davies : I'm just kidding. Man, talk to a few dead people and lose your sense of humor...
