Memorable Quotes from Pushing Daisies |
| Ned: "It’s a random proximity thing." Emerson: "Bitch, I was in proximity!" Louis Schatz: "You know what it’s like to live in daily fear that one minute you could drop dead, right where you’re standing because of something someone else did?" Emerson: "I feel like I could smoke a cigar with you." Ned: "It’s stuck!" Emerson: [double-take] "You better playing!" Ned: "Twenty-nine seconds!" Emerson: "Oh, HELL NO." Chuck: "Remember: mind over matter makes Pooh unfatter." Emerson: "I might be stuck, but I can still reach my gun." Ned: "My threshold’s pretty high, so you have to take what I say with a grain of salt." Emerson: "That ain’t a grain of salt: that’s one of them blocks they give cows to lick." Ned: "Just because there’s a dead body doesn’t mean you’re going to get paid." Emerson: "Just because there’s vodka in my freezer doesn’t mean I have to drink it. Wait, yes, it does!" Olive: "I want to hire you. Technically, I already have since you were so grabby with the cash." Emerson: "Think of it in escrow – between my thighs." Ned: "Is this a bad idea? Olive as a client? It’s a little too close for comfort." Emerson: "Oh, hang on a second, let me ask the money." [pretends to speak to a phone] " 'Hey, Money, it’s me, Emerson! I’m good, thanks for asking. Say, can I pay my bills and buy stuff with you even though you was Olive’s money first? Uh-huh, yeah, okay, thanks!' " [mimics putting the phone away in his jacket] "Heh-heh … the Money don’t care: touch him." Emerson: [to Ned re: Olive's thank-you kiss] "That girl dropped a bomb in your subconscious with her saliva." Emerson: "Those blind kids that Hallie gave her puppies to have put together a Free Hallie Fund: we exonerate Hallie, we collect the reward." Chuck: [appalled] "You’re taking money from blind children?" Emerson: "I suppose I could pay my bills with blind kids’ smiles, but their money is a lot easier." [re: still-smoking corpse of Anita Gray] "Pungent like fried chicken grilled on a bed of hair!" "Death by scratch ‘n sniff: what the hell happened to people shooting each other with guns?" [when Chuck tells him about C.H.U.D.'s dwelling in the sewer] "Yeah, well, in that case, I sure hope they like white meat … " [watching Ned being led away to jail] "This may be a broad generalization, but my guess is an attractive man who makes pies for a living shouldn’t even spend a short amount of time in prison." |
