Tru Calling · Season 1
The dream has nothing to do with Dad.
Mmm. Right.
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.
And that is?
What I do…going back, trying to save these people from dying…I think Mom could do it too.
Where you getting this from?
Davis. He was an assistant the night they brought Mom in.
How does this freak-fest from a morgue become such an expert on our mother?
Hey Jack.
Hey Tru.
You had to write it down.
Just so the functionally literate wouldn't drink my soda.
Right... Can't be too careful, what with the big soda shortage I've been reading so much about.
Ha... and here I was thinking you couldn't read.
Isn't showing up the least you can do?
Funny, I thought the same thing about my dad my last 10 birthdays.
Oh, thank God.
Its okay, Davis. I'm in one piece. And Michelle lives to see another day.
I'll reserve judgement whether that's a good thing or not. So did the medallion…? Did it keep you safe?
No, Davis. It was you who kept me safe. You called the police.
Well what about the hostage?
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.
Just like Bonnie and Clyde.
Kind of, except in this case, Clyde uses Bonnie as a fake hostage.
Davis: Well that's an interesting twist.
Listen, Harrison, I think it's sweet that you remembered your three-month anniversary, but I'm not giving you any money
Why would you think that? Why...? Why do reliving days suck for me? Hmm? So, what did I do?
You went to the track and lost everything I gave you, so I'm sorry but you're gonna have to be more creative.
Yeah, but...
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.
No, wait…
I gotta go
Wait, but...go on! Save everybody but me. [to himself] I gotta get a job! ...Nah.
Do you like working here? The reason I ask is, you don't look like your average morgue attendant.
Oh yeah and what do I look like then?
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.
What do you do on Friday nights?
Why don't you tell me?
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.
I don't own a microwave.
You still haven't answered my question? Do you like it here?
Actually I do.
I understand.
You do? 'Cause not everyone does.
Well that's because most people believe that only the living need help.
We were married. For a year.
You're married?
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
Crazy woman? What?
Our mother.
I need to borrow your car.
That is so weird. I was just coming to…
No, you weren't gonna come and get me. And if I were you, I'd stay away from the trifecta too.
That is so not fair! You know what I did and I don't.
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.
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!"
Wow, Davis is a dedicated employee isn't he?
He really takes his work home with him.
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"
Kind of a mood killer.
Unless you're dating a serial killer.
I've got this thing tomorrow at my apartment, and I haven't unpacked.
When did you move in?
[Davis looks as through he counting back]
Three years ago.
How do you get so banged up on this job? It's not like the dead fight back.
Yeah, you'd be surprised.
Death is inevitable. Death is part of life. And as soon as you understand that, you’re free.
Why do I get the feeling that you don't want me hanging around your brother?
Probably because you're very perceptive.
