A few reasons why Pushing Daisies is genius.

[technoir]

Lilly: It is probably a hold over from their viking heritage. It would be difficult to rape and pillage with the subtlety of a humanist.


Emerson: Oh look at that. A dumb idea just found a friend.


Chuck: Oh, you can cry, that's okay.
Emerson: It is not okay for a grown-ass man to weep in public with a bunch of happy families enjoying pie. If you can't hold it, you take your ass to the men's room and cry in private on the toilet… like a man!
Dusty: I need to use the men's room.


Olive: I spent so much time praying, I've run out of things to say. I'm having awkward silences with God!

Narrator: Digging to Arabia would be easy. Head to the center of the earth, then turn right.


Emerson: Here I was just about to tell you all to shut the hell up, and then you stopped talking so I didn't have to.

Emerson: What's with the shotgun?
Lily: Military salute.
Emerson: For Dwight Dixon?
Lily: For Charles. But if I happen to miss and blow Dwight's head off, purely by accident, well, that's something my lawyers can pretty much sort out later.

This show is awesome for its dialog as much as anything else. It is a damn shame that it is not being carried on for another season.

I'm sad to see it go as well.

Emerson is my favorite character on the show, and that's saying quite a lot!

Sadly there are only a few episodes left. I hope someone else picks it up.

Narrator: "Emerson's plan involved a pot of green tea, and chinese herbs which Mae had supplied. When ingested the herbs were known to cause an uncomfortable fullness of the bladder..."

Henchman: "Boss, I got an uncomfortable fullness of the bladder."


I have fallen in love with this show. The thing that gets me is that Chuck is the perfect girlfriend, and it pains me that our hero (My hero) can't even touch her. I will miss this show.
