Chuck quotes from Pushing Daisies

Narrator

In less then sixteen seconds, the dead girl who was not dead would be involved in the smallest of ironic coincidences, for just as she said to herself...

Chuck

I wish I were where the action were at.

Narrator

...she was where it were at.

Chuck

Sorry, we're closing early today.

Narrator

Her Aunt Vivian, who would've dropped dead from shock of seeing her niece alive again...

Vivian

Hello?

Narrator

...arrived again.

Chuck

There was a young man named Von Deenis.

Ned

Who they said had a very big... [commercial break]

Ned

Could I just say that I know you can take care of yourself. When you moved out I panicked because I thought everything was changing...

Chuck

Everything is changing.

Ned

Way to ruin a good apology.

Chuck

What is so terrible about starting fresh?

Ned

Because starting fresh means something else is ending stale. Chuck, who I destroyed Play-Doh cities with; Chuck, my best friend, my first kiss; I don't want that to change.

Chuck

Yeah, and I'm also Chuck, who went on a pleasure cruise and got a plastic bag put over her head.

Ned

That's not as much fun to remember.

Chuck

But it happened, and when it was happening I was thinking... well, actually I was thinking "Son of a bitch, why did I have to go get ice for my ginger ale?" but, really I was thinking "I finally get to live my own life and it's already over" ...And then you, you came and you gave me another chance.

Ned

So it's my fault.

Chuck

My first time around I was terrified of change and I'm not going to make that mistake again; I can't.

Ned

Hi.

Chuck

Hi.

Ned

You must be the new girl in 44, I'm Ned.

Chuck

I'm Charlotte, but you can call me Chuck.

Ned

Hi Chuck... I... really wanna kiss you now.

Chuck

But, we've only just met, we're two strangers in a big city, these things take time... I work at the Pie Hole downstairs.

Ned

Really? I own the Pie Hole downstairs. May we walk together?

Chuck

Well, that'd be swell, Harvey.

Ned

It's Ned, actually.

Chuck

Ned, that's a very nice name.

Chuck

The world would be a better place if everybody dabbed calamine on welts of bad news.

Lily

It's time to nip you in the budding romance.

Chuck

But why, why do we love something if loving something just makes us stupid and just have more to lose?

Ned

Why love something? Because we can.

Chuck

Aww.

Chuck

I'm alive.

Narrator

At that moment, in the town of Coeur d'Coeurs, events occurred that are not, were not, and should never be considered an ending. For endings, as it is known, are where we begin.
