• Jack Houriskey : Why?

  David Abbott : Because I love her. I love her.

  [looks at Elizabeth] 

  David Abbott : I do. I love you.

  Elizabeth Masterson : [taken aback and smiling]  No one's ever said that to me before.

• Elizabeth Masterson : David?

  David Abbott : What?

  Elizabeth Masterson : Tell him thank you.

  David Abbott : We're really grateful, Jack.

  Jack Houriskey : I'm not doin' it for you.

  David Abbott : Oh. Then why are you doing it?

  Jack Houriskey : Because someday, trust me, I'm gonna need help movin' a body, and when that day comes, I don't wanna hear any shit from you.

• David Abbott : Darryl!

  Darryl : Dude!

  David Abbott : Yeah.

  Darryl : Whoa, whoa, whoa, the spirit's with you, isn't it? Can't bring that thing in here. What're you thinking, bro?

  David Abbott : Listen, man, you were right about her. She's alive.

  Darryl : Righteous.

  David Abbott : But she's in a coma and her family's gonna take her off of life support.

  Darryl : Not so righteous. So, what, are you guys socializing now?

  David Abbott : We've... acclimated.

  Darryl : Yeah, I can tell. In fact, I'm sensing some intense feelings she has for YOU, bro.

  David Abbott : Really?

  Elizabeth Masterson : No, I don't.

  Darryl : Ooo, major red aura. SOMEBODY's embarrassed.

• Elizabeth Masterson : I think I know what my unfinished business is.

  David Abbott : What?

  Elizabeth Masterson : You.

• Elizabeth Masterson : How do I know you?

  David Abbott : Maybe from your dreams

  [flashback] 

  Elizabeth Masterson : It wasn't a dream

  David Abbott : No

  [they kiss] 

• Maitre D' : Whats wrong with him?

  Elizabeth Masterson : It's a tension pneumothorax

  David Abbott : I think it's a tension nemothaxer.

  Elizabeth Masterson : Pneumothorax.

  David Abbott : Nuemathaxer!

  Elizabeth Masterson : Pneumothorax!

  David Abbott : Numa-numathurman.

  Elizabeth Masterson : Never mind

  David Abbott : Never mind!

• Elizabeth Masterson : So, we have an address, a dry cleaning ticket and a book of matches. You know what that means?

  David Abbott : We could start a very small fire?

• David Abbott : Okay. Fine. I was wasted but, still, I shouldn't be seeing some little blonde control freak running around my apartment.

• Darryl : You have got to let her go, dude

  David Abbott : How can I when she won't leave?

  Darryl : Not your spirit girl. I'm talkin' about the other one. The one you're keepin' in here. That's what's really haunting you, isn't it?

• Elizabeth Masterson : Why is she wearing workout clothes? I mean, if you were gonna work out in the middle of the day - which is basically the only reason to be wearing workout clothes - do you really need a push up bra? The whole point is to strap 'em down, not push 'em up

  David Abbott : You know what? You're not coming with me any more!

  Elizabeth Masterson : Why? Something might jog my memory.

  David Abbott : Too bad. You're like an AM radio that someone shoved in my head and I can't turn off.

  Elizabeth Masterson : You don't think she was completely unclassy and predatory?

  David Abbott : Those happen to be two of men's favorite things.

  Elizabeth Masterson : Why don't you just date a pit bull?

  David Abbott : Maybe I will.

• Elizabeth Masterson : You had no idea she was naked on your bed?

  David Abbott : No.

  Elizabeth Masterson : You're wondering what she looks like.

  David Abbott : No I'm not.

  Elizabeth Masterson : A little?

  David Abbott : Not enough to... to go look.

  Elizabeth Masterson : Tell you what: I'll do a little recon for ya.

  David Abbott : Please don't!

  Elizabeth Masterson : Don't worry, I'm a doctor.

• David Abbott : Let me ask you,

  Elizabeth Masterson : Like what?

  David Abbott : I don't know, like... DYING maybe?

• David Abbott : You're-you're not dead. You're alive.

  Elizabeth Masterson : I know, David, but I'm in a coma. This is not good.

  David Abbott : Well, it's way better than dead.

• David Abbott : Your sister really wouldn't sign those papers, would she?

  Elizabeth Masterson : I don't know. I hope not. Won't even matter if I don't wake up soon. My brain activity's decreasing every day.

  David Abbott : Well maybe that's not such a bad thing. You're kind of a smarty-pants. No, it'll bring you down to my level.

• David Abbott : Uh, I-I'd like to help but I... I have dinner plans.

  Katrina : Well, I got dessert.

  Elizabeth Masterson : I just threw up in my mouth.

• Father Flanagan : [while splashing holy water on the wood floor]  The power of Christ compels you! The power of Christ compels you!

  Elizabeth Masterson : [to David]  He can't even see me.

  David Abbott : [to Flanagan]  A little more left!

  Elizabeth Masterson : [to David]  You're mopping that up.

• David Abbott : I'm... I'm sorry that I said you're dead. Maybe you're not dead. Maybe you're just very... light.

• David Abbott : Well, I don't think your sister's a very spiritual person.

  Elizabeth Masterson : She's just bein' a good mom, tryin' to keep her kids away from a crazy guy.

• Elizabeth Masterson : [looking through a door at Katrina who is naked off-screen]  Ooo! She's got a tattoo on her ass. It says "all aboard."

  David Abbott : Really?

  Elizabeth Masterson : In three languages.

• David Abbott : [Elizabeth's ghost is disappearing, she is about to die]  Help her! Elizabeth! No! Elizabeth!

• David Abbott : I... I can't stab a man!

• David Abbott : I've told her to walk to the light. She won't do it

  Elizabeth Masterson : That's because there is no light. God, you're infuriating!

• David Abbott : [trying to explain how he knows Elizabeth]  Uh, we were... romantic... with each other.

  Fran : What do you mean?

  David Abbott : You know, boyfriend and girlfriend.

  Fran : [laughs]  I know what... "romantic" means...

• David Abbott : It's not my fault you're the way you are. I just want you out of my house.

  Elizabeth Masterson : YOU get out!

  David Abbott : Whoa!

  [she tries to shove him but passes through him and falls through the wall, screaming as she falls to the pavement below] 

  David Abbott : Rest in peace.

  [he turns around to see her standing there] 

  David Abbott : Oh!

  Elizabeth Masterson : I'm not leaving.

• David Abbott : You saved lives.

  Elizabeth Masterson : Yeah... including my own. I saved my life... for later. I just... I never thought there wouldn't be a later.

• David Abbott : Ugh! Why are you still here?

  Elizabeth Masterson : A scary question, I have no idea.

• Grace : [while visiting an Asian arranged apartment]  This place is heaven. It's been photographed for magazines.

  David Abbott : Yeah, uh, I-I think I told you I was gonna need something furnished.

  Grace : Well, it IS furnished.

  David Abbott : Where's the couch?

• Elizabeth Masterson : Oh my. This is more serious than I thought

  Elizabeth Masterson : Go away. You don't exist!

  Elizabeth Masterson : All right, I'm gonna ask you a series of questions. I want you to answer honestly. Has your recent alcohol consumption increased?

  David Abbott : Yeah. So?

  Elizabeth Masterson : So are you hearing voices or seeing things that aren't quite real to you?

  David Abbott : As a matter of fact, yeah

  Elizabeth Masterson : Well, then, have you recently sought counsel from a mental health care professional?

  David Abbott : What? How do you know that? Stay away from me.

  Elizabeth Masterson : You often feel paranoid, like people are out to get you?

  David Abbott : Why you asking so many questions?

  Elizabeth Masterson : I'll take that as a yes. Listen to me. You have fantasized, quite convincingly, that you've rented an apartment that, in fact, belongs to somebody else. Pick up that pillow. Pick it up. It's okay. There's a small red stain on the back where I once spilled cherry cough syrup. Yes, that's it. How else would I know that? Or the fact that these sheets that you're now soiling are from Nordstrom. I still have the receipt. It's in that drawer right there. Open it up and check. I think you need to come to terms with the fact that you may be mentally ill

  David Abbott : Really?

• David Abbott : You ate here a lot?

  Elizabeth Masterson : No.

  David Abbott : No.

  Elizabeth Masterson : I never did. I remember looking in that window and wishing I could eat in here.

  David Abbott : What, were you a homeless street urchin?

• David Abbott : You're dead!

  Elizabeth Masterson : Stop saying that!

• David Abbott : [after Elizabeth falls out the window]  Rest in peace

• David Abbott : [on his late wife]  She was cursing at her shoe. Her heel had broken. And then she just kinda sat down and put her hand to her head.

  Elizabeth Masterson : Cerebral hemorrhage?

  David Abbott : [nods]  And... I couldn't do anything to help her. She was, like, gone. I couldn't even say goodbye, and she was just... she's gone.

  Elizabeth Masterson : What was she like?

  David Abbott : Oh, you know, she was just a big pain in the ass. No, really. I mean, the bras on the doorknobs, leaving the car with the... with the gas needle below empty. She couldn't put gas in the car, it was impossible for her. And just total stubborn inability to master a remote. So she would just randomly click buttons until the TV was snarled into some unmanageable condition. I mean, I'm so... I'm mad just thinking... thinking...

  [starts to cry] 

  David Abbott : ... thinking about her.

• Elizabeth Masterson : [looking at a photo of herself and her sister]  I had just gotten my MCAT scores back.

  David Abbott : Well, you must have done well.

  Elizabeth Masterson : No, actually, I bombed. My scores were so low that I couldn't even get into correspondence school.

  David Abbott : [confused]  And that's a good thing?

  Elizabeth Masterson : No. I know it sounds kinda crazy. I wanted to go back to the library and start studying immediately, but Abby said no. The only thing to do was to burn my scores and drink margaritas - lots and lots of margaritas.

  David Abbott : Well, looks like she was right.

  Elizabeth Masterson : It's just funny because the one time I completely failed at something... I had more fun than I'd ever had in my whole life.
