RUDYARD: What sort of benefits do you think he offers? Discounts? Private healthcare? ANTIGONE: Maybe he doesn't ruin every waking moment of his employees' lives. RUDYARD: Puh! Hippy.

His spirit is undoubtedly looking down at us from his place with God. Unless you don't believe in that sort of thing, which I won't hold against you. Mind you, God probably will, unless He doesn't exist, in which case He won't have anything to complain about, really.

ANTIGONE: There's this chemical agent, I made it myself: it removes every stain and blemish from the corpse's skin. But if you spill it on yourself, you get a rash and your... clothes fall off. ERIC: Well. ANTIGONE: (CONFLICTED TREMOR) Yes.

ANTIGONE: But I don't go out on Friday. I go out on Thursday. HERBERT: But you could go out on a Friday just this once? ANTIGONE: I don't understand. HERBERT: Some people... leave the house more than once a week. ANTIGONE: I'm sorry, you're just not making any sense.

You see, I want to tell you all about a man named Rudyard Funn. He owns the funeral parlour, and he's responsible for all the funerals in Piffling Vale, and today he experienced what was undoubtedly the worst day of his life—which, to be honest, was probably long overdue.
