Chi McBride: Emerson Cod

Quotes 

• Emerson Cod : Here lies Dwight, here lies his gun. He was bad, now he's done - let's go!

• Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : I need your help.

  Emerson Cod : Friend help or pay help?

  [Chuck sighs and hangs her head] 

  Emerson Cod : See that? That's the kind of body language you never hear with pay help.

• Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : But the big problem - maybe the biggest problem, in an objective sense - is the dishonesty with Ned. That and the making-someone-else-less-alive part.

  Emerson Cod : "Less alive". Nice euphemism, killer.

  Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : We were at the cemetery in the dead of night. Maybe there was no one else there, maybe no one else died!

  Emerson Cod : Oh, you think this is a "sometimes" rule? Ned lets somebody live longer than a minute and somebody else has to die "sometimes"? No! It's an "every time" rule! There's some sucker out there dead in the leaves.

• Emerson Cod : [ingratiatingly]  Lily! Delighted.

  Lily Charles : Can the crap and sell it to the tourists. What are you doing here, Cod?

  Emerson Cod : What in the hell are you doing here?

  Lily Charles : Waiting for Dwight Dixon.

  Emerson Cod : Well, uh, he may, uh, disappoint - men do that. What's with the shotgun?

  Lily Charles : Military salute.

  Emerson Cod : [incredulously]  For Dwight Dixon?

  Lily Charles : 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.

• Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles : Dwight might not have been the nicest man, but everybody deserves a burial with dignity.

  Emerson Cod : Fine, I got buttloads of dignity to sprinkle on the ground. Come on, get holy.
