Memorable Quotes from Pushing Daisies

"I hate to be a bad host, but I’m sort of exhausted from chasing your coffin."

Chuck: "I had the strangest dream: I was being strangled to death with a plastic sack …"
Ned: "You were strangled to death with a plastic sack. It’s probably a hard thing to hear – I wasn’t sure how to sugarcoat it."

Chuck: "I’ll be mad at you if you lie to me, though. I’ll be so mad at you, I’ll be scratching the drapes."
Ned: "I’m not. Please don’t attack the window treatments."

Chuck: "I have so many questions, my mind wanders!"
Ned: "You need to feed it warm milk and a turkey sandwich, let it curl up in a sunny spot and take a nap."

Chuck: "How did you get stung by so many bees, and what happened to those bees that stung you? That’s a suicide attack."
Ned: "Not in this case: they sort of stung me, died, then they flew away again, and some other bees died."

Emerson: "I’m ripping off the Band-Aid!"
Ned: "I’m not a ripper – I pull up a corner a little at a time, then I run it under warm water and then I pull it up a little more – it’s a process."

Chuck: "Are you watching me sleep? ... You do that a lot, don’t you?"
Ned: [smiling] "It’s like watching you come back to life."

[to Emerson] "Simone was hiding Bubblegum, she chloroformed you and tied you up. I’m not going to mention the ball gag. That’s gangster love."

"I got bored and started snooping. Okay, maybe Ipso facto snooping, but it wasn’t my goal to snoop: just to entertain myself. You know how when you’re a guest and you’re bored and you go into the bathroom and read through the magazines or rummage through the medicine cabinet and look through the closets and under the bed and you find something you were never meant to see?"
