- Quotes
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles: Hi, Emerson! Isn't this exciting?
[she gets out and he locks her out of the car]
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles: Hey!
Emerson Cod: What's she doing here?
Ned: Said she didn't climb out of her coffin for me to keep her in a box.
Emerson Cod: She the boss of you?
Ned: I'm the boss of me!
Emerson Cod: Dead girl's gotta go.
Ned: Dead girl's not going anywhere.
Emerson Cod: You don't know nothin about her except she had soft lips when she was ten!
Ned: That should be enough.
Emerson Cod: Well, I don't like it.
[he gets out and Chuck gets in, locking him out]
Emerson Cod: Hey!
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles: What did you guys talk about?
Ned: I'd really like to get out of this car soon.
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles: Is he upset you brought your childhood sweetheart back to life?
Ned: He barely knows you're here
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles: Do I really have to sit in back from now on?
Ned: It's for your own safety.
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles: You sound like my dad.
Ned: If my hand brushes yours you'd be dead.
Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles: He didn't say that.
Ned: [locking the doors] So it's probably better if you stay in the car for these morgue visits. Someone might recognize you. You really can't come in
[All three of them standing in the morgue office]
Ned: Did I say "can" because I swallow my consonants sometimes "n't", "n't", "caN'T come in"
Emerson Cod: [to Coroner] Got that hit and run?
Ned: We're from the Government Safety Place?

Ned: Government Safety Place
Coroner: Mmmm-hmmmmmm

Performed by Kristin Chenoweth
It begins like most of the episodes--Ned and Emerson go to interview a dead guy in order to claim a reward for the murder. In this case, however, the dead guy who appeared to be the victim of hit and run said his perpetrator was a crash test dummy! Huh?! This made no sense, so instead of just dropping the matter, they investigate...like real detectives. The trail takes them to the dead man's job--where he was an engineer working on a crazy new car 'the Dandy Lion'. You just have to see the cars, the runway models and the look of this place...it's just amazing. And, oddly, it turns out the dead guy is RIGHT!! But how could a dummy be a killer? Tune in and see.
This one has extraordinary set design, a wonderful guest character (the victim's girlfriend is just amazing) and is funny from start to finish. See this one.
