"I see. It's one of those kinda nights. So are we burnin' or buryin'?"
— Klaus, The Umbrella Academy (2019)
"You're always gonna have trouble lifting a body in one piece. Apparently, the best thing to do is chop the corpse into six or seven pieces and pile it all together. Then when you've got your pieces, you've got to get rid of them, because it's no good just leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a day or two, then the sight of chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You've gotta shave the heads of your victims and pull their teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who owns a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig... can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh... every minute. Hence the expression, 'as greedy as a pig.'"
A lot of holes in the desert, and a lot of problems are buried in those holes. But you gotta do it right. I mean, you gotta have the hole already dug before you show up with a package in the trunk. Otherwise, you're talking about a half-hour to forty-five minutes worth of digging. And who knows who's gonna come along in that time? Pretty soon, you gotta dig a few more holes. You could be there all fuckin' night.

Sam: Remember when [Laurel] was in the hospital and didn't want her parents to know so you had to keep running interference? Sara thought you'd killed her, chopped her up, and dissolved her body in acid in the bathtub.
Dean: That was so...oddly specific. Not to mention insane. I get that, statistically, it's always the husband, and I know she was an assassin and that probably sounded like a perfectly reasonable explanation to her, but fuck me. What a jump. (Beat) Where do you even get enough acid to dissolve a human body in the bathtub?
Sam: I think you can make it.
Dean: Why would I do it in my own bathtub? Wouldn't that smell?
Sam: Probably.
Dean: But I had a baby in the house.
Sam: Dean—
Dean: Where would I find the time? Dismembering a human body properly can take up to twelve hours and a lot of patience. I didn't have that kind of time on my hands.
Alice: We're gonna need this with the night we have ahead of us.
Kate: What do you mean?
Alice: Last time I checked, bodies don't bury themselves.

Tugg: I killed one, Rick. The thing I love most in the world.
Rick: Vivica get off the line now. A hooker. Alright, you killed a hooker. Calm down, here's what you're gonna do: Get your hands on some bleach, some hydrogen peroxide and a shitload of lye—
Tugg: No, a panda. I killed a panda.

"I would have either disposed of the body so it was never found, or made it look like an accident."
Indah frowned, and Aylen's brow creased, and they exchanged a look. Eyeing me, Indah said, "How would you dispose of a body so it wouldn't be found?"
I'm not the public library feed, Senior Officer, go do your own research. I said, "If I told you, then you might find all the bodies I've already disposed of."
"It's joking." Ratthi managed to sound like he completely believed that. "That's how it looks when it's joking." He sent me on the feed, Stop joking.

"We were used to keeping the acid to hand, even if there was no immediate need to use it. It takes 50 litres of acid to break down a body in about three hours. The body dissolves slowly, the victim’s teeth are left, the skull becomes distorted. At that point you take the remains and throw them somewhere. In San Giuseppe Jato they threw them in the river. We Palermitans didn’t care because we were rough peasants. As for you lot; lovely water you drink in Palmero..."
The water from the river in San Giuseppe Jato ends up in a reservoir. One that quenches the thirst of the whole of the city.

"We were enjoying breakfast, when her parents came in. They told us they were going to the farthest stretches of their property to work on a new house they were building. ...Riiight. New house. Gotcha. I'm ignoring the shovels and suspicious tarp!"
"I start shooting, then the screaming starts. Blood on the carpet and drapes, spatter on the wallpaper. It's very...Laura Ashley meets Jack the Ripper. Bodies have to be rolled up in carpets and lugged down back stairwells. Then, dumpsters have to be located. Sometimes, you get lucky and they're pouring concrete foundations. You just tip 'em in and there's still time to catch a movie! But mostly it's driving around at midnight looking for dumpsters. I know it sounds glamorous, but at the end of the day it's just work."

Mr. Krabs: Now, listen, SpongeBob. When we get to the Krusty Krab, I want you to take that... (wink) shovel... and bring it around to the back entrance and stuff- er, I mean, stow it in the freezer. Understand?
SpongeBob: I understand, Mr. Krabs, but... what do you want me to do with the bo—
