- David Addison Jr.: Aren't you going to tell me we can't take this case?
- Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes: Why would I do that?
- David Addison Jr.: I dunno. That's what you always do.
- David Addison Jr.: Maddie, why are we doing this?
- Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes: David, we were hired to do a job. We failed. We have a responsibility to inform our client.
- David Addison Jr.: We have a responsibility to protect our client. She came to us because she was scared of her husband. Call me oversensitive, but I do not think we should walk into her house first thing in the morning and tell her he ceased to be deceased.
- Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes: Ceased to be deceased? Who said he ceased to be deceased?
- David Addison Jr.: Well, how else are you gonna explain a stiff taking a stroll?
- David Addison Jr.: Maddie, I don't know how to break this to you, but the Kandinski case? It's closed.
- Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes: Closed?
- David Addison Jr.: Closed.
- Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes: David, how can you say the case is closed when the client just turned up dead?
- David Addison Jr.: Yeah, well, crazy as it seems, I only work for live clients. Habit I got into when I started to eat. I'm going home.
- Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes: Going home?
- David Addison Jr.: Going home. Look, Maddie, face it. The Great Kandinski did it. I don't know how he did it, but he did it. He died, came back, and took care of the one thing...
- Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes: [interrupting] That's ridiculous!
- David Addison Jr.: That's amazing! But that's what seems to have happened.
- Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes: I'm sorry, but I will never be able to believe that.
- David Addison Jr.: You're forgiven. But will you please tell me why you cannot accept the fact that there are things that happen that no one can understand?
- Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes: Because that's not how life works!
- David Addison Jr.: Oh, forgive me. You know how life works?
- Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes: I know how I think life works, yes. And behind every mystery, behind every unexplained phenomenon, there's usually a perfectly logical explanation.
- David Addison Jr.: Really?
- Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes: Really.
- David Addison Jr.: Rainbows.
- Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes: Light refracted by moisture.
- David Addison Jr.: The Bermuda Triangle.
- Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes: A myth and a hoax.
- David Addison Jr.: The '69 Mets.
- David Addison Jr., Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes: A myth and a hoax.
- Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes: [leaning against David to sleep] Don't get any ideas.
- David Addison Jr.: Don't need to. Brought plenty of them with me.
- Dr. Nealy: I'm Dr. Nealy. Can I help you?
- Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes: I'm Madelyn Hayes and this is David Addison. We're investigators. We'd like to ask you a question about Mr. Kandinski, the magician.
- Dr. Nealy: And that would be what?
- Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes: When you sent him to the mortuary, was he dead?
- Dr. Nealy: Was he dead? No. He just checked in, had his chest cracked open, his lungs drained, his brain weighed, and his stomach emptied onto a table. After that he walked out of here and caught a bus. Hell, yes, he was dead!
