Recently a friend from work has decided to force me to watch season one of "Pushing Daisies." This is a very surreal TV show about a man who can bring dead people back to life for 60 seconds and he and some friends solve murders as a result of this gift. It is mostly a dark comedy and there is a lot to like about the show in its various parts while the jury is still out on the show as a whole (for me.) Even though the show only lasted a season and a half, it is growing on me as each episode takes creative turns with the characters and the relationships of those characters on the program.
Well, I have just found my new favorite quotation and it comes from this show.
Near the end of season one there is this episode where a man is killed by his neighbor. You see, the neighbor invited this man out on a double date and when the man meets the neighbor's girlfriend he finds out that the crazy neighbor is dating a life-sized plastic doll that only looks like a women (like I said, quite a surreal show.) Cutting to the chase, the main character in the show is about to confront the neighbor. As the main character is about to knock on the door to begin the confrontation, one of the main character's friends says...
"What if he does actually believe that his doll is a person? Maybe that is his truth, it's just different from our truth?"
The other friend of the main character replies... (and here is my new favorite quote)
"The truth ain't like puppies a bunch of them runnin' around, you pick your favorite. One truth. And it has come a' knock'n!"
Yes! I love it!
