Dead Again
1991
Roman Strauss: The man I bought it from explained to me that, when a husband gives it to his wife, they become two halves of the same person. Nothing can separate them... not even death.
Roman Strauss: What I believe, Mr Baker, is that this is all far from over.
Pete: I've known Mike Church forever. He would never hurt her. Franklyn Madson: This is fate we're talking about, and if fate works at all, it works because people think that THIS TIME, it isn't going to happen!
Cozy Carlisle: You take what you've learned from this life and use it in the next. That's karma. Mike Church: I thought karma was I do something bad in this life and I'm a termite in the next. Cozy Carlisle: Hey, if you ask me, pal, you're already a termite in this life in a shitty suit, OK?
Gray Baker: Aren't you afraid of dying? Roman Strauss: To die is different than what anyone supposes and luckier. Gray Baker: Is that a line from your opera? Roman Strauss: It's Walt Whitman. I can't take credit for everything, Mr Baker.
Franklyn Madson: Actually, I'm a hypnotist. Mike Church: OK, here's the water, there's the door, sorry about the stairs.
Cozy Carlisle: Hey, thumbdick, I was a damn good shrink. Nineteen years I worked with a lot of people through a lot of shit. OK, I slept with a patient or two. It's not like I didn't care about them. I loved being a doctor. I used to not charge half my patients. Then the fucking state comes along, they send in some bitch undercover, and I'm fucked. Life isn't fair, is it?
Mike Church: I'm not looking for Ms Right, I'm looking for Ms Right Now.
Cozy Carlisle: Karmically, self-defense is quite cool.
Mike Church: Why would she want to kill me now? Cozy Carlisle: Why do women do anything?
Pete: (jokingly talking about Grace who's outside the door) Oh, and you don't have to worry about forgetting her name... she's already forgotten it for you! Mike Church: (unamused) Right.
(leaving Cozy Carlisle's freezer) Mike Church: Nice place you've got here. (under his breath) Fucking fruitcake.
Cozy Carlisle: Someone is either a smoker or a nonsmoker. There's no in-between. The trick is to find out which one you are, and be that. If you're a nonsmoker, you'll know.
Mike Church: (Baker smokes a cigarette through the hole in his throat, and gives the pack back to Mike) Keep 'em. I just quit.
Franklyn Madson: Well I, for one, am v-v-very interested to see w-w-what's going to happen next.
