Exploring Life After Death in Defending Your Life

Tagline: The first true story of what happens after you die.

Self-Acceptance as a Foundation for Relationships

Daniel Miller: You have to be okay with yourself before you can ever be okay with anyone else

Investing in Cattle and Its Consequences

Lena Foster: What did you finally invest in, Mr. Miller, do you remember?
Daniel Miller: [under his breath] Um, uh... cattle.
Lena Foster: And what happened to the cattle?
Daniel Miller: I don't know; I never got a straight answer. All I know is that their teeth fell out.

The Complexity of Truth and Trust

Bob Diamond: Did we ever stop to think that this young boy had a bond with his father? I don't think it had anything to do with the friend. I just think Daniel couldn't lie to his dad. That's all.
Lena Foster: You're nodding, Mr. Miller. Does that mean you agree with Mr. Diamond?
Daniel Miller: Oh, yes. I had a bond with my father. I pretty much never lied to him.
Lena Foster: You never lied to your father? Would you like me to show you at least 500 examples?
Daniel Miller: I said "pretty much" never lied. I didn't say I never, ever lied. You have to lie sometimes... in an emergency. But, ah, it doesn't mean the bond is affected. If you've got the bond, the bond is always there, and if you have to lie occasionally you're not going to interfere with the bond. You know, the bond can wait for a little lie and... in the end it's there for you. You know, sometimes in the middle of a lie I found that the bond would kick in... maybe squeeze a little truth out.
Bob Diamond: Psst, wrap it up.
Daniel Miller: I'm through.

Importance of Actions Over Accumulated Mistakes

Bob Diamond: Your honors, Miss Foster and I have had this argument for a long time. I think the act itself is what's important, but she wants to keep enlarging it until everything loses its meaning. If I fix the flat tire on your car, and two years later I lose your garden hose, according to you I'm not going to get any credit for the flat, I'm just a dumb guy who lost the hose!

Death and Comedy on Stage

Club Comedian: And you sir. How did you die?
Daniel Miller: On stage, like you.

Youth and Reflection on Mortality

Old lady on bus: [noticing Daniel; [w:AIDS|AIDS] Ooh, so young... ]?
Daniel Miller: Oh, no... car accident.

Brain Usage Comparison Between Characters

Bob Diamond: For example, I use forty-eight percent of my brain. Do you know how much you use?
Daniel Miller: Forty... seven?
Bob Diamond: [laughs] Three.

Exploring the Afterlife: Heaven and Hell

Daniel Miller: Is this Heaven?
Bob Diamond: No it isn't Heaven?
Daniel Miller: Is it Hell?
Bob Diamond: Nope, it isn't Hell either. Actually, there is no Hell. Although I hear Los Angeles is getting pretty close.

Curiosity About Jeep Ownership Explained

Daniel Miller: Why do you do this?
Jeep Owner: What?
Daniel Miller: I'm curious. I see people driving these things. What do you know that I don't? Are floods coming in? Hoover Dam broke? What's going on?
Jeep Owner: I like this car.
Daniel Miller: It's not a car, it's a battering ram. This is what Patton drove: "Hey you, soldier! Follow us!
Jeep Owner: Make fun, but in an 8.5 earthquake, you'll beg for a Jeep.
Daniel Miller: In an 8.5 earthquake, I'll beg for a coffin.

Reflections on Work and Personal Connections

Daniel Miller: [laughter; laughter; laughter; laughter; laughter] I was driving to work this morning thinking I will be here, in two months, it'll be ten years. And, you're like my real family. Isn't that tragic? I got a call from my mother this morning to wish me a Happy Birthday, and hinted around the fact that I wasn't making enough money, if you can call, Are you still making that same salary, honey? a hint. And my ex-wife used to say the same thing, although she never used the word honey'. So, maybe in three years I can double my income?... Four years? Okay. So, you're great people to work with, and this is a great present, and I wish I could squeeze all of you into one pretty woman. And if you'd like to go to my office, I'll try. Thanks a lot.
