What were you researching?
West
Death.
Dan
You couldn't call, or write a note. [regarding the death of Rufus, his cat]
West
I was busy pushing bodies around as you well know. And what would a note say, Dan? 'Cat dead; details later'?
Dan
God, why does it make that sound? [as Rufus is being reanimated a second time]
West
Birth is always painful.
Dan
It was dead! [regarding the reanimated Rufus]
West
Twice.
West
I will show you, then you will help me.
Dan
No!
West
Yes you will. That is why I brought the infernal beast back to life in the first place.
Dan
Oh, man, if we get caught--
West
Well, what will they do, embalm us?
West
[reading toe tags in the morgue]
Burn victim... Here's your meatball... Shotgun wound to the head...
Dan
...Aw, God, he's ripe!
West
[singsong]
...Malpractice...!
Dan
We failed. C'mon, let's go; somebody'll be coming any minute!
West
[striking the corpse angrily]
He failed! Not I!
Dan
Herbert, you're insane, now what happened here?
West
I had to kill him!
Dan
What?? He's dead?
West
...Not anymore.
