Dead Like Me · Season 2, Episode 12
[Flashback to elementary-school-age George reading A Tale of Two Cities instead of going to her friend's birthday party.]
We bought her a present!
What did you get her?
We got her a flannel nightgown. With pretty little flowers on it!
Mom. You're gonna get me killed.
Georgia, don't be silly. We're going.
Not.
You are so!
So not.
Why do you have to be so obstinate?
Obstinate. O-B-S-T-I-N-A-T-E. Stubborn.
Georgia Lass, you cannot spend your entire life with your nose stuck in a book!
Try me.
[At a spelling bee, emcee G. McFadden's soul finds itself sitting beside George and Mason.]
What just happened?
Oh, I'm afraid you are D-E-D…
No, that's D-E-A-D.
I was joking!
[At the restaurant, Mason and George return from the bee.]
Hey! How'd it go?
G-R-E-A-T.
It was a spelling bee.
[to Mason] Seriously, how'd it go?
F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C.
How do I get it to stop?
Well, go on, Georgie, tell him.
Well, as far as senseless, brutal deaths go, I say it went beautifully.
Yeah! So maybe a little simple "thank you" is in order, instead of your constant irritation, Ruby. Maybe a little bit of G-R-A-T… uh… t… i-i-tude, tude.
[Rube hands out Post-its.]
For you, and you.
Where's Roxy?
She has got a personal day.
Well, why don't I have a personal day?
Because you're an F-U-C-K-U-P.
"Fuck up" has two words.
Actually, "fuck-up" is a hyphenate.
[They all look at her.]
Well, it is!
[Ray introduces himself to Rube at Der Waffle Haus and shakes his hand.]
That's quite a death grip you got there, Rube.
[George tries to find a way to communicate to memory-challenged Nina that she has died.]
Do you want to hear a story, Nina?
Oh, I love stories.
Well, once there was a girl named George. She was 18 years old. And she didn't have a husband William, she didn't have have a daughter named Beth, but she had a mom, a father, and a sister. And, one day, she went outside — it was a sunny day, a few clouds, but an ordinary day — and she went out to get some lunch, and this man… he stopped me. And he talked to me. And he knew my last name. I told him to leave me alone, but… then something from the sky fell. And I didn't feel anything. I couldn't remember anything… at first. But then I did. I realized… I died.
[George reaches over to Nina's memory Post-it pad.]
I… died.
[She writes on the pad.]
I'm dead.
[Mason buries Ray's corpse as Daisy watches him through the window crying.]
[voiceover] There are things inside you that no one wants to face. Things that you keep secret, even from yourself. But secrets are funny. The things you try to hide always turn out to be the things you can't forget
