"I retrieved you."

"We fly to Gibraltar and sail through the Mediterranean to Alexandria."

"If you're a creature, then pay attention to your creator."

"Why do you go about loving her in such a piecemeal fashion?"

"I don't know, Cementeria, I'm still a gravedigger."

Tony Hightower and Meghan Elizabeth Burns

"I'm scared she'll visit the baggage compartment, stumble upon the casket of my husband, and bring him back to life!  Can't there be burial at sea?"

"I'm sorry, child.  The captain says it is illegal to drop bodies in the Mediterranean."

Linda Kobylinski and Laurel Hoffman

"I retrieved most of you but I couldn't find your phallus."

Tony and Meghan

"All the bodies are to rise and join souls in a corporal paradise."

Drew Blood and Lauren Barrett Porter
