Six Feet Under · Season 1
Now, this is a beautiful and unusual cremains vessel. The ashes actually fill these dolphins, which are carved out inside.
She wasn't really into dolphins. I remember somebody suggesting she boycott tuna, y'know, because of the whole dolphins-getting-caught-in-the-net thing. And she said, "Fuck dolphins, I want a Niçoise salad."
I was in school today. I just wasn't in American History. I mean, who needs to know that shit anyways?
Well, somebody who wants to have some concept of how the world works so they can have a fucking chance in life.
We tend to forget how many gifts God has given each and every one of us because our lives are so filled with distractions, crowded with messages competing for out attention, encouraging us to be unhappy with our lives. If only we looked younger, had perfect skin, zero body fat. The truth of the matter is, God loves us just the way we are.
[singing] Tiny Venus, your breath like baby rabbits on a field abuzz with bees and life. Little did you know how briefly the sun would shine upon your own private utopia. Your candle may have been blown out, but you hang in the air like smoke.
All that lives, lives forever. Only the shell, the perishable passes away. The spirit is without end. Eternal. Deathless.
Everything's bad for something.
That's the thing about depression: if you really allow yourself to feel it, it gets very boring very fast.
I'm a psychic, so, y'know …
Wow, that must be very interesting.
It's just more information.
You know, it's polite for the first person downstairs to make the coffee even if that person has a penis!
Well, you know, it's also polite for the first person who uses the bathroom to spend less than 45 minutes in there even if that person has a vulva.
[entering] Oh goodness, everyone's here.
With all their genitalia.
No one can ever solve someone else's life.
So basically, your job is pointless.
No one but a guidance counselor, I mean.
You want me to complain? Alright then, Fuck this. Fuck you; fuck all of you and your sniveling self pity, and fuck all your lousy parents. Fuck my lousy parents while were at it. Fuck my selfish, bohemian sister and her fucking bliss. Fuck my legless grandmother. Fuck my dead husband, and my lousy children with their nasty little secrets. And fuck you Robby for dragging me to this terrible place and not letting me have a snickers bar. I'm going to get something to eat!
Academia is one huge circle jerk. All the sequestered people desperately defending the one good idea they have had in their lives.
What about you saying that things happen that leave marks … in people, in space, in time?
Yeah, that's physics. Energy affecting matter. Talking to dead people is delusional.
So you definitely don't believe in any kind of a life after death?
I think people live on through the people they love and the things they do with their lives … if they manage to do things with their lives.
But that's it, that's it? That's all there is, there's nothing more, there's nothing like bigger?
Just energy.
But there's no plan, no—
No, there's definitely no plan. Just survival. Should I have ordered the salmon?
Uh, I don't know. How can you live like that? I mean, what if you found out you were gonna die tomorrow?
I've been prepared to die tomorrow since I was six years old.
Really?
Yeah, pretty much. We never got butter.
Well, why, since you were six?
Because I read a report on the effect nuclear war would have on the world, and it was pretty clear to me at that point that this was definitely gonna happen.
When you were six?
And I wake up every day pretty much surprised that, um … everything is still here.
Well, I don't understand how you can live like that.
Well, I thought we all did.
The only god I know is a mean-spirited comedian in ugly pants whose every joke has the same damn punchline.
Yeah, I'll have a double dub – uh – uh – a – a Chubby – a double Chubby – a Chubby Chubby – a double double – a double chubby – a chubby chubby – a chub – I'll have a doub – I'll have a double Chubby cheeseburger. [scrunches eyes, having a major headache] Oh, fuck me!
