PUSHING DAISIES is quite the quotable show. There was hardly a scene that didn’t have some memorable dialogue. We’ve gathered some of our favorite quotes from the “Pie-lette” and now we want to know your favorite quotes. Feel free to add to our list. And don’t forget to keep a pen close by this coming Wednesday and jot down your favorite quotes from “Dummy“.

Narrator: First touch life. Second touch, dead, again…forever
——————–
Ned: I asked you to not to use the word zombie, it’s disrespectful. Stumbling around squaking for brains, it’s not how they do. And undead? Nobody wants to be un anything. Why begin a statement with a negative? It’s like say I don’t disagree. Just say you agree.
Emerson: Are you comfortable with living dead?
Ned: You’re either living or your dead. When you’re living you’re alive and when you’re dead that’s what you are, but when you’re dead and then you’re not you’re alive again. Can’t we say alive again? Doesn’t that sound nice?
——————–
Emerson: Words that sound alike get mixed up in my head.
Olive: Me too. I used to think masturbation meant chewing your food.(pause) I don’t think that anymore.

——————–
Emerson: How’s he look?
Ned: Fine, but 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 those blocks they give cows to lick.
Ned: He can’t help how he is.
Emerson: That doesn’t make it any less traumatic.
Ned: For who?
Emerson: Me. And, I’m sure him, but mainly me. I’m gonna wait outside.
——————–
Narrator: The pie maker’s lips went as far as they could go. He couldn’t will them to go any further.
——————–
Ned: What if you didn’t have to be dead?
Chuck: Well that would be preferable.
——————–
Chuck: I can’t even hug you? What if you need a hug? A hug can turn your day around.
Ned: I’m not a big fan of the hug,
Chuck: Then you haven’t been hugged properly. It’s like an emotional Heimlich. Someone puts their arms around you and they give you a squeeze and all your fear and anxiety come shooting out of your mouth in a big wet wad and you can breath again.
Ned: That’s fine for someone else to do if I’m choking on something other than emotion, but you can’t touch me.
Chuck: So a kiss is out of the question?
——————–
Ned: You can’t touch me.
Chuck: So, a kiss is out of the question?
——————–
Chuck: I guess dying is as good a reason as any to start living
——————–
Ned: “It’s kind of a random proximity thing.”
Emerson: “Bitch, I was in proximity!”
——————–
Emerson: We all have childhood issues. I have horror stories
Ned: I kind of killed her father when I was 10.
Emerson: Maybe not horror stories.
Chuck: I’ll be so mad if you’re lying you’ll have me scratching the drapes.
Ned: I’m not lying. Please don’t attack the window treatments.
——————–
Chuck: You said it was for justice. I don’t think justice was on the menu. Was it an entree?
Ned: More like the special of the day-can we drop the metaphors?
——————–
Ned: You’re supposed to be dead. This is pushing your luck.
Chuck: Yeah, well, luck pushed me first.
——————–
Chuck: You can’t just touch someone’s life and be done with it.
Ned: Yes I can. That’s how I roll.
——————–
Chuck: I guess dying is as good a reason as any to start living
——————–
Ned: I know, deep down in my primal sweet spot, that I was being unselfish for selfish reasons.
