Dead Like Me, Season 1

[The camera closes in on cubicle land, where a teenage girl with a dull expression listens to her headset.]

George:
[voiceover] That's me. I'd say I'm sorry to disappoint you… but I'm not. I excel at not giving a shit. Experience has taught me that interest begets expectation, and expectation begets disappointment, so the key to avoiding disappointment is to avoid interest. A equals B equals C equals A, or… whatever. I also don't have a lot of interest in being a good person or a bad person. From what I can tell, either way, you're screwed.

[Cut to a guy robbing a convenience store…]

George:
[voiceover] Bad people are punished by society's law.

George:
[voiceover] And good people…

Cat Woman:

[The woman falls off the fence. Pan down to the dead woman…]

George:
[voiceover] … are punished by Murphy's Law.

[… then over to the cat on the ground, eating the food. Cut back to the office.]

George:
[voiceover] So you see my dilemma.
