Tru quotes from Tru Calling

Tru

Don't bother. Davis took you off the payroll when we realized you were Death.

Davis

It's called the crypt. It's where every unnatural death in the city comes to rest, waiting for an autopsy.

Tru

You said "unnatural death"?

Davis

Most of them. Because if there's even a hint that a death might be unnatural, murder, suicide, they come here.

Tru

So every crypt...

Davis

Has a body. That's right. Can you imagine the pain of losing someone before their time? Bottom line: most of these people shouldn't be dead yet.

Davis

You ever been to a morgue before?

Tru

Just once, when I was 12.

Davis

Well, that sounds like a story. Are you sure you're interested in wor... in working here? Because, I'll be honest, uh most girls as pretty as you that come here...well they're...they're dead.

Davis

Tru, why do I think you're not telling me the truth?

Tru

I know I shouldn't have looked through the files. I just have a few questions.

Davis

Oh what? About unsolved murders?

Tru

Exactly.

Davis

So let me get this straight. In the eight hours since you've started working here, you've decided to solve old cases? It's very ambitious. You know what I did today? I bought socks.

Harrison

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you okay? Is everything okay?

Tru

I'm having a day, Harrison. A day I would gladly explain to you if I thought I could but I can't, so I'm not even gonna try. And I heard another voice.

Harrison

Wait. I don't understand. You mean like, you mean like Mom?

Tru

No, not her. Someone else.

Harrison

Dead?

Harrison

Oh, boy.

Tru

And that's not even the half of it. Believe it or not, that's the half that makes sense. I-I just don't get it. Me of all people, why do they come to me?

Harrison

Maybe because they know that you'll listen.

Tru

Do you think I'm crazy?

Harrison

I never thought you were crazy.

Tru

You like being a firefighter?

Yeah, I like helping people.

Tru

You don't worry about how dangerous it is? You see it on the news all the time, a firefighter goes into the building...

I don't really think about it. Sometimes a job just chooses you, you know what I mean?

Tru

Yeah, I do.

Harrison

Hey, you okay?

Tru

Yeah. What could be wrong?

Harrison

Let's see, uh, last time we talked you told me that dead people were talking to you so, I thought I might be remiss if I didn't follow up.

Davis

Look, Tru, I know that the..the morgue is not exactly Party Central but don't worry, things will pick up.

Tru

Actually, that's what I'm afraid of.

Tru

I don't know if I can take this.

Well, believe it or not, it actually gets easier. Besides I like to think they're going to a better place.

Tru

You believe that?

Well, if you're gonna work here, you gotta believe it. Of course, the dead get off easy. It's the ones left behind that gotta deal with all the pain.

Tru

I don't work for your wife. I'm here to help you.

Help me with what?

Tru

Live to see tomorrow.

Is that a threat?

Tru

No, it's not. But if I'm gonna help you I need you to be honest with me.

Harrison

What if tomorrow is just today, all over again?

Tru

Bite me, Harrison.

Tru

Harrison, I came here to talk

Harrison

OK someone dies asked for help and you repeat a day, there we talked.

Tru

Not quite what I meant by talking.

Tru

You ever have one of the greatest days of your life, I mean a really, truly great day, and then just feel like the whole thing got erased?

Davis

You're assuming I've ever had a great day?

Davis

It's not easy is it, bearing the burden you do.

Tru

'Scuse me?

Davis

Some call it a blessing others a curse some see it as more of a calling.

Tru

Davis.

Davis

I know more than you think I know Tru, about what you can do, about how you can help the dead, give them a chance at life. Have a seat Tru, it's time I told you what I know.

Harrison

Don't take this the wrong way, but you look like crap.

Tru

Thanks Harrison. I told you I've been up studying all night. Because in 45 minutes I'm going to be taking the biggest test of my life.

Harrison

Right! The Top Cats.

Tru

M-Cat.
