Quotes
-
Tesia Papadapacropolis : Mrs, that is to say widow Cross, I'm afraid that won't be possible.
Lucille : Why not?
Tesia Papadapacropolis : Well, we're really not set up to accommodate that sort of request.
Lucille : Now, I understand that a theme such as this doesn't come cheap, and I'm willing to pay for all the extras. Just name your price.
Tesia Papadapacropolis : Oh... uh, what do you think?
Albert : I think it's your funeral. Get the cheque. Get the cheque!
Tesia Papadapacropolis : Entertain Don while us girls talk business.
Albert : Oh, righto. Thank you.
Tesia Papadapacropolis : Is it a problem, Mona?
Mona : No problem!
Widow Knockerby : Well, what did I tell you? Trust me, it is going to be the hit of the season!
Tesia Papadapacropolis : Shall we make the arrangements now? You did say you brought your check book?

Tesia Papadapacropolis : How's he looking?
Mona : Life like.
Tesia Papadapacropolis : Mona, I specifically told you just a straightforward makeup for Mr Knockerby.
Mona : It is.
Tesia Papadapacropolis : The family's going to be here any minute and their loved one looks like Charlie McCarthy. Did you take the makeup course I sent you to?
Mona : I went to the first session.
Tesia Papadapacropolis : And?
Mona : Well, the models moved around so damn much.
Tesia Papadapacropolis : Mona, brighter is not necessarily better. None of our clients are going to be propped up in themed windows. They don't need to be seen by passing motorists.
Mona : I know, but the bereaved widow did request he be presented the way he is in life: happy!
Tesia Papadapacropolis : Happy, Mona, not hysterical. I'm sorry, this is totally unacceptable.
Widow Knockerby : Oh, he would absolutely love it!
Tesia Papadapacropolis : What?
Widow Knockerby : I mean, it is to die for, if you'll pardon the expression. Oh Clarence, Clarence, do you like it, honey? Oh, he does, I know he does, trust me. I knew to go with the independent, the little guy always tries harder. It is testament to this man's life as a butcher. Never a cross word, always a smile. Liver would be down, he would be up. A saint, this man. God bless you!
