- Barbara: "Rule number two: the living usually won't see the dead".
- Adam: Won't or can't?

“In a shark attack, or any other major tragedy, I guess the important thing is to get eaten and die, in which case there's a funeral and somebody makes a speech and everybody says what a good guy you were.

Leonardo DiCaprio - Richard
