Tru quotes from Tru Calling

Tru

Hey.

Davis

You're here early.

Tru

Oh, I'm not staying. I just wanted to get this back to County Records.

Davis

Your mom's autopsy report?

Tru

Yeah.

Davis

Anything new?

Tru

No. Standard B and E gone bad. Single bullet, massive blood loss. Of course, I only read it fifteen times and still think there's something I must have missed.

Davis

Tru, if I may, sometimes there is just a single bullet. A lone gunman, a tragic death. Sometimes the truth is exactly what it appears to be.

Tru

What makes you say that?

Davis

Eight years of working here.

Tru

Just wish I thought so, too.

Tru

Just once. Just once I'd like to go somewhere and have everyone stay alive. Is that too much to ask?

Davis

You really want me to answer that?

Tru

No, actually I don't.

Davis

[about Jack] That guy's going places.

Tru

Yeah. Let's just hope somewhere far, far away from here.

Tru

The dream has nothing to do with Dad.

Harrison

Mmm. Right.

Tru

Besides, Meredith says he's only in town for a conference so odds are we won't even hear from him. But there's something else.

Harrison

And that is?

Tru

What I do…going back, trying to save these people from dying…I think Mom could do it too.

Harrison

Where you getting this from?

Tru

Davis. He was an assistant the night they brought Mom in.

Harrison

How does this freak-fest from a morgue become such an expert on our mother?

Jack

Hey Jack.

Tru

Hey Tru.

Jack

You had to write it down.

Tru

Just so the functionally literate wouldn't drink my soda.

Jack

Right... Can't be too careful, what with the big soda shortage I've been reading so much about.

Tru

Ha... and here I was thinking you couldn't read.

Isn't showing up the least you can do?

Tru

Funny, I thought the same thing about my dad my last 10 birthdays.

Davis

Oh, thank God.

Tru

Its okay, Davis. I'm in one piece. And Michelle lives to see another day.

Davis

I'll reserve judgement whether that's a good thing or not. So did the medallion…? Did it keep you safe?

Tru

No, Davis. It was you who kept me safe. You called the police.

Davis

Well what about the hostage?

Tru

Well that's just it, there isn't one. This guy isn't taking a different hostage each time, it's the same girl at every location. They're a team.

Davis

Just like Bonnie and Clyde.

Tru

Kind of, except in this case, Clyde uses Bonnie as a fake hostage.

Tru

Listen, Harrison, I think it's sweet that you remembered your three-month anniversary, but I'm not giving you any money

Harrison

Why would you think that? Why...? Why do reliving days suck for me? Hmm? So, what did I do?

Tru

You went to the track and lost everything I gave you, so I'm sorry but you're gonna have to be more creative.

Harrison

Yeah, but...

Tru

And I'm gonna do you an even bigger favor today. I'm gonna borrow your car, so you can't go to the track at all.

Harrison

No, wait…

Tru

I gotta go

Harrison

Wait, but...go on! Save everybody but me. [to himself] I gotta get a job! ...Nah.

Jack

Do you like working here? The reason I ask is, you don't look like your average morgue attendant.

Tru

Oh yeah and what do I look like then?

Jack

You look like a girl who takes things way to seriously, someone who should be enjoying life but probably spends Friday nights home alone, watching TV, eating a microwave dinner.

Tru

What do you do on Friday nights?

Jack

Why don't you tell me?

Tru

Well you don't stay in, that's for sure. Coz that'd mean you'd be alone and you're not a guy who's all that keen on being alone. So you go out, to a bar, a club and after a few hours you return home. Sometimes solo but usually with some nameless, faceless, shameless girl who just doesn't understand you. But either way, by the end of the night your alone, in front of the TV, eating a microwave dinner.

Jack

I don't own a microwave.

Jack

You still haven't answered my question? Do you like it here?

Tru

Actually I do.

Jack

I understand.

Tru

You do? 'Cause not everyone does.

Jack

Well that's because most people believe that only the living need help.

Davis

We were married. For a year.

Harrison

You're married?

Davis

And, er…I was supposed to meet Haley at her mother's. We were going to a restaurant for our anniversary dinner. And I'd been working late here, and I was going out to my car and the gas had all been drained from the tank, and the tyres were flat. There was this crazy woman there, telling me that I had to call my wife, and prevent her from getting in her car, and getting on the freeway

Harrison

Crazy woman? What?

Tru

Our mother.

Tru

I need to borrow your car.

Harrison

That is so weird. I was just coming to…

Tru

No, you weren't gonna come and get me. And if I were you, I'd stay away from the trifecta too.

Harrison

That is so not fair! You know what I did and I don't.

Tru

Look, you let me down, Harrison. Again. Nothing you haven't done 1000 times before. And you know what? Lindsay says the same exact thing about you too.

Harrison

Well excuse me, I made a mistake. I'm not lucky like you: you screw up, and it's "Oh what am I gonna do? You know what, I'll just redo it!"

Jack

Wow, Davis is a dedicated employee isn't he?

Tru

He really takes his work home with him.

Jack

I'm trying to imagine a First Date scenario…"Why don't you come back to my apartment, I'll show you all my books on death"

Tru

Kind of a mood killer.

Jack

Unless you're dating a serial killer.

Davis

I've got this thing tomorrow at my apartment, and I haven't unpacked.

Tru

When did you move in?

Davis

Three years ago.
