Quotes 

• Eddie Mallard : Why would you taker her WORD for it?

  Charlie Rand : The dead, Eddie; they can't lie. They can try to fool you; they can lead you into lies; but they can't speak a lie with their own lips.

• Rachel Carlyle : If we stop right here, we'll have all the best of it straight. It will never get mixed up with anything else, and we'll just have the best of each other.

  Eddie Mallard : You'll have to tell me your whole name, so I can say it to myself when I'm walking around.

  Rachel Carlyle : Rachel Carlyle. Rachel Carlyle. I live at 330 Central Park West. Ah, no, no. See, it's already getting dumb and practical and stupid. You don't want my phone number. You just want to look at me. Look at your beautiful ghost, and see the way she's looking at you, and then you want to close your eyes, while she walks out of your life, and if she never comes back again, you won't care, because it's not about that. It's about what you saw when she looked at you, and the feel of her lips for the first time, and the scent of her and the way her hair felt, and the way she cried at that silly song. And you had the best of her, all the best of her.

• Eddie Mallard : I humored his delusion, and I did it because the sight of $1,000 in one place turned me into an asshole.

  Tim : You've been an asshole at least as long as I've known you.

• Rachel Carlyle : Whatever they tell you about me is true. I'm worse than you can imagine. But don't ever say you didn't know.

  Eddie Mallard : I don't know anything any more. I don't know what I'm doing.

  Rachel Carlyle : You chose me. And you'll go on choosing me, as awful as it gets.

  Eddie Mallard : Why will I do that?

  Rachel Carlyle : Because you love me. Because YOU love ME.
