How come you only call me when someone's dead?
S1 E15Unfinished Business
Okay so we have one dead guy married to two women.
Half a dead guy...
Half a dead guy.
The Chinese symbol for war is two women under one roof.
[Crews enters his house and sees the cops searching it.]
Hey! It's kind of like a party except, this is my house and I don't remember sending out invites.
Detective Crews, in that you are a person of interest in the killing of Carl Ames the District Attorney's office has issued a search warrant for these premises, as well as the occupants therein.
[to Ted] Don't you wish you could talk that way?
Detective Crews, what where your feelings toward Carl Ames?
My feelings toward Ames were the same as my feelings toward anyone.
And those would be?
That none of us are alone. That even as we exhale it is inhaled by others.
Is that some kind of joke?
Laughter is the best medicine. Reader's Digest. I had a subscription at Pelican Bay.
[to Crews] He was not looking for the person not obeying the law. He was looking for the person not not obeying the law. That kinda talk remind you of anyone?
[voiceover] We are none of us alone. Even as we exhale it is inhaled by others. The light that shines upon me shines upon my neighbor as well. In this way everything is connected. Everything is connected to everything else. In this way I am connected to my friend even as I am connected to my enemy. In this way there is no difference between me and my friend. In this way there is no difference between me and my enemy. We are none of us alone.
I was being serious; why does nobody take me seriously?
Alright, I have to know... What's the deal with the fruit?
Do you know what you eat in prison?
Crap?
Crap... no fresh fruit... ever. I missed it.
I don't think it'll be fruit I'll be missing.
Yeah, you would.
[about his meeting with Reese's father] Do you want to know what he wanted?
He always wants the same thing.
Oh, yeah. What's that?
Everyone else's unhappiness.
[referring to a room with bars on the windows, locks on the doors] Can you imagine living like this?
Don't have to.
Yeah.
Because of the whole prison thing.
Copy that.
About your dad....
Yeah, let me make this easy on you: I spent my whole childhood trying to figure out if my dad was only mean or just plain bad. And you... I don't really understand you. I don't really like you but... you're not one of the bad guys. [Long pause] If I had your money I would be on a beach somewhere... How come you're not on a beach somewhere?
Do I look like I tan?
I investigate things to complete my knowledge. My complete knowledge makes my thoughts sincere. My thoughts being sincere, my heart is pure.
I'm with stupid. The arrow is pointing up ... isn't it supposed to point at the person next to you?
I guess he was admitting the truth.
That he was stupid?
That no one knows anything.
I know he's dead!
That's not the truth, that's just a fact. Looks like a rose.
Oh you're gonna tell me that's the truth?
No. That's just a dead flower.
What exactly is a Zen center?
It's a place where people interested in their spiritual journey sit and do nothing. Which, as it turns out is nearly impossible.
Getting buried alive part of that journey?
Not as a rule no, though every center has its own way.
Everything is in motion. And the particle's within everything are never in one place. Therefore, if it's never in one place, it never is, is it?
So I'm always in motion. I'm never in one place. I'm never here.
Just more likely to be here than not to be here.
I'm not here. You like that, don't you?
If only that were true.
