[first lines]
Vada Sultenfuss : I was born jaundiced. Once I sat on a toilet seat at a truck stop and caught hemorrhoids. And I've learned to live with this chicken bone that's been lodged in my throat for the past three years. So I knew Dad would be devastated when he learned of my latest affliction.
[to Harry]
Vada Sultenfuss : Dad, I don't want to upset you, but my left breast is developing at a significantly faster rate than my right. It can only mean one thing: cancer. I'm dying.
Harry : [making a sandwich] Okay, sweetie, hand me the mayonnaise out of the fridge.

Shelly : She won't come out. It's been a whole day. You have to do something, Harry.
Harry : The funeral's starting.
Shelly : Open your eyes, she's eleven years old! Her only friend in the world is dead.
Harry : I know that, but what do you want from me?
Shelly : Stop hiding, Harry! You run, Harry. When I first came here, the idea of working with dead people didn't exactly thrill me. When I saw a family that lived here, I thought, if I'm living without a family, at least I can work with one and maybe, once in a while, be invited in for supper.
Harry : Yeah... and when those suppers are disrupted because there's a car crash, or there's a fire, or a little boy steps on a beehive...
Shelly : I'm not asking you to stop caring for those people. But life isn't just death, Harry. Don't ignore the living, especially your daughter.

Harry : He's gone, sweetheart. he's gone.

Harry : Vada, wait! Vada!

Arthur : [Approaching his brother after getting punched in the gut] What'd you do that for?
Harry : Who are you?
Arthur : I'm his brother.
Harry : Oh, then, you'll probably be visiting us here quite often.
Arthur : Why?
Harry : Because if he ever tries to take Shelly's camper again, I'm gonna bury him in my front yard.
Phil Sultenfuss : [Whispering to Veda] Your father's a savage.
