'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Some quotes from the latest episode of Pushing Daisies:
Emerson: The truth ain't like puppies -- a bunch of them running around, you pick your favorite. One truth -- and it has come a-knockin'.
Olive: You are so sweet! A girl could get a cavity, standing next to you!
Dilly: Do you like excitement? Ned: I feel excitement is so much better than some other things.
Ned: Candy might be sweet, but it's a traveling carnival blowing through town. Pie is home, people always come home.
Chuck: Does he seem distant to you? Olive: Would you like to discuss his fear of intimacy, his dark moods, that thing he does when he's lying? I can be a very good resource for you on that, if you don't mind me clawing out your eyeballs as we talk.
Dilly: Oh, come on! We know that the world of small business is nothing but a big sexy game. Call me old-fashioned, but I like to win!
She realized that her love of taffy and fear of nothing would serve her well in business... and Balsam's Bittersweets, Taffy & Sweet Emporium was born!
He cleaned for hours, but he could not wipe away the fear that the battle with Balsam's Bittersweets could only turn more bitter.
Ned: Why can't you see that the brave thing here is not to fight back? Chuck: In that case, Olive and I were cowards tonight and set loose some inappropriate vermin.
The expression, “like a rat in a candy store” though slightly less popular, is equally true.
As Ned came to undo what Chuck and Olive had done, he found that not fighting the fight was more work than fighting it.
Emerson: It's a broad generalization, but my guess is that an attractive man who makes pies for a living shouldn't spend even a short amount of time in prison.
Emerson: You two check under the hood. I'm going to do a full background check on Billy Balsam, see if anyone else wanted to put him into a permanent candy coma.
Chuck: How did you know? Emerson: How'd I know what? Chuck: About the finger! Emerson: Oh, I learned it early on. See, it's sort of the universal sign for 'Hush up, I'm on the damn phone' symbol. Chuck: Oh, and it must also be the 'Billy Balsam bit off his killer's finger and we found it in his stomach during the autopsy' symbol.
Emerson: So, whoever killed Billy is walking around with nine fingers and thinking they got away with murder. Chuck: Mmm-hmmm, footloose and finger-free.
The Pie-maker considered how not telling Chuck the truth about her father was a lot like being locked in a prison. (Chalks Days: 1 on the wall) Then he considered how being locked in a prison was much worse than some silly metaphor about truth.
The truth could knock all it wanted, but Burly Bruce would never open the door.
Seventeen miles away, the search to finger the fingerless killer of Billy Balsam continued.
Sometimes the crime of passion is not realizing the passion in time. Other times the crime is not seeing the world as it is. But most crimes of passion are... actually crimes.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The truth could knock all it wanted, but Burly Bruce would never open the door.
This is ripe for so many future applications. Along with the Truth Not Puppies (which should be an LJ icon already).

Oh Thank You Theodosia! I haven't seen the episode yet, but what a treasure of quotey quotes. I want to tag each and every one.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine
My favorite was from Emerson near the beginning of the episode: "That idea might make a stupid idea feel better about itself."
I don't know if the Hitchcock re-creations have any deeper meaning, but I am enjoying them a lot. The Tippi Hedren look suits Molly Shannon.

Bless for those quotes, Theo.
eta, and Joe too for giving me a new tag (I guess PD has suplanted EUREKA as my new favorite).

I really need to watch the whole episode again, with the CC on this time. I'm sure I'm one of the world's worst transcriptionists (on account of rarely being able to remember more than 3 words or short phrases in a row)
