Quotes3

  • [in the waiting room of the afterlife]
  • Barbara: Adam, is this what happens when you die?
  • Receptionist: This is what happens when *you* die.
  • [points at a gaunt man smoking]
  • Receptionist: That is what happens when *he* dies.
  • [points at a woman cut in half on the sofa reading]
  • Receptionist: And that is what happens when *they* die. It's all very personal. And I'll tell you something: if I knew then what I know now...
  • [shows her slit wrists]
  • Receptionist: ...I wouldn't have had my little accident.
  • [the dead people laugh]
  • [In the afterlife waiting room]
  • Receptionist: Number fifty-four million six hundred and one... Ferndoch.
  • Receptionist: You don't have an appointment, do you?
  • Adam: Well, we didn't know how to make one.
  • Barbara: Appointment for what?
  • Receptionist: 'What do you want?'
  • Barbara: We need some help.
  • Receptionist: Ha! Already? You just bit the big one two months ago and you want help.
  • Adam: Two months? What does that have to do with anything?
  • Receptionist: You're going to use up all your help vouchers. D-90s. You spend 125 years on Earth actually in that house during which you get only three class-one D-90 intercessions with Juno. You probably haven't even read through the manual completely yet. You'll have to wait if you don't have an appointment.
  • Adam: An appointment with whom?
  • Receptionist: Oh! For Juno, your caseworker. Number 54,000,601. Ferndock.
