Look, I took care of Lily and Vivian for twenty years, they never even left the house. What happened was incredibly unusual.
Please take this the right way, but so is being dead but not dead.
Amen.

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...
I wish I were where the action were at.
...she was where it were at.
[Door opens in the Pie Hole]
Sorry, we're closing early today.
[Chuck sees Vivian attempting to get through the door while her umbrella gets caught; Chuck then runs, jumps and rolls over the counter to avoid being sighted]
Her Aunt Vivian, who would've dropped dead from shock of seeing her niece alive again...
Hello?
...arrived again.
There was a young man named Von Deenis.
Who they said had a very big... [commercial break]
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...
Everything is changing.
Way to ruin a good apology.
What is so terrible about starting fresh?
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.
Yeah, and I'm also Chuck, who went on a pleasure cruise and got a plastic bag put over her head.
That's not as much fun to remember.
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.
So it's my fault.
My first time around I was terrified of change and I'm not going to make that mistake again; I can't.
[Ned and Chuck roleplay in the morning]
Hi.
Hi.
You must be the new girl in 44, I'm Ned.
I'm Charlotte, but you can call me Chuck.
Hi Chuck... I... really wanna kiss you now.
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.
Really? I own the Pie Hole downstairs. May we walk together?
Well, that'd be swell, Harvey.
It's Ned, actually.
Ned, that's a very nice name.
