Mrs. Dubcek Quote #5

Quote from Mrs. Dubcek in Body & Soul & Dick

Dick: Mrs. Dubcek, have you ever been involved in funeral arrangements?
Mrs. Dubcek: Well, not for myself, for my second husband. Lovely funeral, very nice. Hmm.
Dick: Well, I- I've been working on this eulogy. What was his like?
Mrs. Dubcek: Well, it was an outdoor service. And then this woman came along, asking for directions because she was lost and she couldn't find her way home. And we were so touched, that we just forgot about Carl's eulogy and just planted him.
Dick: So I- I just need to find some babbling eccentric to create a diversion. What are you doing on Saturday?
Mrs. Dubcek: You're just lucky you're so damnedably handsome.

Quote from Harry

Dick: Why does death have to be so inconvenient?
Harry: [holding an apple] Mmm, to die, to sleep. To sleep, perchance to dream. Oh! [turns apple around to reveal three bite marks that look like the holes of a skull] There's the rub, for in that sleep of death what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil must give us pause.
Dick: What's that from?
Harry: I don't know, some Mel Gibson movie.

Quote from Dick

Mary: I can't believe this. I've never seen anybody die before.
Dick: I know, it's amazing. One minute, he's active, and the next, he's inert. First he's limber, and then he's stiff. His eyes are twinkly, then they're milky. He's rosy, then sallow. Oily, then dry. Gurgly, then silent.
Mary: Oh, will you stop!

Quote from Dick

Dick: If we measure X in grams and Y in centimeters per second, then Z is measured in a unit of energy we call ergs. The complete conversion of one gram of mass into energy thus releases one times three times 10 to the 10th power squared, which brings me to another point-- Your lives are fragile, and you're all going to die!
