"Did you ever have one of those days?" "Not one of those kinds of days." "The other kind." "The kind of day where there was something in the air." "Something that had been on its way for a while." "Something good." "And maybe because I think about myself like all the time," "I was sure that something on its way was about me." "It's mine." "You're up early." "Did you sleep okay?" "JD woke me up a couple of times but I had a really great sleep." "Is this what you are wearing today?" "Can JD come to the cemetery?" " No!" " Why?" "Because he's a dog." "Fuck her, you're coming." "That's what she did, or that's what she said she did." "You have no respect for authority, you know that." "The discipline of a fucking piss-ant." "Wow, good morning to you too." "You'd make a good cop." "We were just discussing it." "Were you now?" "What was the topic of discussion, my wit, my charm, my pouty lips." "Daisy told me after you quit your job at Happy Time, you quit your new job the very next day." "The very next morning." "Your lips are kind of pouty." "Can I get some Tabasco." "And how long did you last at the new gig?" "Less than five minutes." "Okay, got that one beat." "It was North London, the pizza pie parlour lots of Portuguese people..." "Not interested." "George's day." "What does it mean, it's my day?" "Errr, this is not tabasco." "Morning Kiffany." "How about a little breakfast?" "Need a little cash?" "You don't have a job means you don't have any money." "And no prospects, just dead and stupid." "I don't need your money Rube." "I found 20 bucks today." "Save it Georgia, breakfast is on me this morning." "Sweet." "Georgia's breakfast." "Rube says it's her day." "Hers is on mine." "Thank you Daisy." "I'll have breakfast at Tiffany's, a large OJ and can you make the bacon extra extra crispy." "You don't eat bacon." "I know but Rube does and that's the way he likes it." "So what are you now Rube's butt boy?" "Why did you resign?" "And instead of hot tea, Kiffany, I'll have coffee, noooo make that a green tea, it's supposed to be good for you." "How about a hot cup of shut the fuck up." "I'm not sure you got the memo Roxy, but it is my day." "Nothing for me?" "Not today." "That's right not today." "Why?" "Every so often someone gets one of those days." "Today it's you." "I wanted something good to come my way." "More than a free breakfast." "More than 20 bucks, just more." "I'm a good looking guy am I not, am I, am I not, am I?" "You're fine for a white boy" "Fuck fine, I think I radiate a certain rayfish appeal, do I not, do I?" "Reaper." "Too old, Jesus Roxy." "You think everybody's a reaper." "Maybe women I'm attracted to are a bit more discerning, that could be true, but you know as far as pulling power is goes," "I've got it in spate, have I, have I not?" "Wait a second, how long is it since you have sex?" "With a woman." " With a woman." " Who's alive" "I've not had sex with a dead woman - technically." "Flores, flores, flores para los muertos, flowers for the dead." "Err, no thank you." "No thank you" "Reaper" "Serious reaper." "How long has it been Mason?" "It's been a while" "How long?" "How long exactly" "A few months" " How many months?" " Fifteen alright" "My stars, That's pathetic" "Jesus, Pay for it." "Pay a hooker" "Look I don't know what to do." "I can't think straight." "I'm losing my mind." "Daisy you have to find me a woman." "Be your pimp?" "Pimp me, pimp me." "Don't you have a soul to reap?" "Yeah right here, right next to Zulu records." "There's hot girls in here all the time." "Fuck off man." "Happy hunting." "Well my post is not until later." "Let's see what kind of game you got." "Hey." "Morning." "So welcome to hot yoga." "Sit." "Anyone here for the first time?" "Hey you lost?" "No I have an appointment in the area." "Just wanted to see what was in the area." "What's your name?" "Err..." "Rube." "What's yours?" "Arun." "Arun Levert?" "This is my studio." "Why don't you join us for class?" "You are here." "I don't really do yoga." "Doesn't really matter." "You're here, be here." "I can do that." "Yeah." "Hey take off your clothes." "There are extra shorts in the cubby." "Okay let's begin." "Even though I was convinced that this job was getting in the way of the business of living." "Go!" "There was no getting around of the cost of that business." "I really needed money." "No way Dolores could tell me no today." "It was my day." "What do you mean "No"." " Milly..." " Dolores, you and I are like friends." "And then you quit and took a job, from one of our postings and then quit after humm... an hour." "Five minutes." "Millie let me tell you a story." "Okay." "Do you know who Wally Pip was?" "Is that a real person?" "Wally Pip was once the first baseman for the New York Yankees, and one summer day Wally Pip did not feel well and asked his coach if he could sit out this one." "I don't really like baseball." "Do you know who replaced him that afternoon?" "You ever heard of Lou Gehrig?" "I know he has a really bad disease named after him." "Lou Gehrig played over two thousand straight games for the Yankees, he was known as the Iron horse." "I don't need a Wally Pip Millie, and I don't need you." "You are joking right?" "So who's my replacement?" "Who's Lou Gehrig?" "Mitchell." "Mitchell is the Iron horse?" "Mm-mm." "Urg... please Dolores, give me a second chance." "It's Ms Herbigg now." "I need my job back." "We're done here." "Line two." "We're done Wally." "Fucking unreal." "Hello Dolores Herbigg, how may I help you." "Wait." " How you doing pretty lady." " Fuck off." "Press the down button." "Hey you know that don't make it come faster." " Fuck off." " Dolores!" "Murray's in shock." "My neighbour says he came into the kitchen and pissed over her floor then just collapsed." "I have to get him to the hospital." "Pissing all over your neighbour's kitchen floor." " I think your husband..." " Murray's a cat!" "you ass-wipe." "Dolores you are in no condition to drive, let me drive." "I, I..." "Who are you calling an ass-wipe." "Ass-wipe." " Urgg, don't touch me." " I'll touch you if I wanna touch you." "Come on." " Maybe you should drive." " Yeah." "Now let's go into eagle." "Raise your hands, above your head, and swing them around together, right elbow over left." "Twist twist, twist, excellent job Rube." "My mother is really pissed off." "So let her be pissed off." "It was her grand-daughter, Joy." "You know what Clancy, I don't like her, she doesn't like me." "If it was any other day of the year, I still wouldn't want to see her." "I'm sorry I brought it up." "I sure as hell don't want to see her today." "I'm sorry I brought it up." "If you answer that phone I will absolutely shove it up you ass." "Hi." "Err, so what happens today?" "What do you mean sweetie?" "Well, what happens?" "Well nothing much, the reverend will say a prayer." "And I'm going to say something." "Really?" "You can say something if you want to." "Okay." "So what are you going to say?" "I'm going to say..." "I can't deal with you today." "I have an emergency." "Sign in please." "Murray normally sees Dr. Wilson." "Dr. Wilson is not in." "Dr Levy is here." "I don't know him." "Can he see us right away?" "Hold on, I'm new." "Hi." "It's Marcie." "There's a lady here to see you right away, Marcie." "Marcie." "I'm new." "Marcie." "This is a cat emergency." "I'll be right back." "Come on, it probably won't be long." "Meow meow, Meow meow mister." "Excuse me I..." " Certainly." " How's Murray doing?" "Not very good." "What did you say your cat's name was?" "Don't tell him Dolores." "Murray, you hang in there you beautiful boy." "You beat the jacuzzi, you beat the ice cream truck, you've got seven lives left, you can beat this." "What you reading?" "Millie, I appreciate the ride but I think Murray and I will be fine now." "Umm okay." "Hey you waiting for a pet in here?" "Uh-huh." "On the other hand if you leave now, I don't know who we'll get home." "I don't want to leave Murray overnight." "I can stay." "So what's your pet's name?" "Is it a dog?" "Snake?" "Ferret?" "What's your problem?" "Where's your pet carrier?" "Why aren't you sad?" "Well maybe I am, or maybe my mom is boning the dude from animal control." "You're full of shit, you little punk." "Millie!" "He's a child." "I'm going to the bathroom Dolores." "Don't let him touch Murray." "Why?" "Just don't." "Maybe I was wrong, maybe life was flipping me off again." "Maybe this wasn't my day at all." "Okay." "Arun?" "Could you demonstrate the plough pose for me?" "I feel that my form isn't very good." "That's good." "I'd be happy to Sandy." "Thanks for the class." "You want your calves parallel like train tracks." "When I was training my yoga teacher used to get on my ass to stand there." "He'd be surfing away." "It's beautiful." "Thanks." "What just happened?" "You're dead." "You're kidding me." "I have an old neck injury, I'm not supposed to do the plough pose, but Sandy is so hot." "You broke your neck." "Wow." "Where's my pants?" "So I'm dead and nobody gives a shit." "No they don't know yet." "I thought I might put them in the second cubby here." "No-one sees me just you." "Yeah." "These aren't mine." "Thanks for class Arun." "Would you like to get some tea?" "Arun?" "Arun?" "She wants to sleep with me." "Yeah, that's gotta hurt." "Hey shithead." "Hootie and the blowfish?" "Take it and get the fuck out of here." "Alright This place is all about the initial salvo, opening line." "It has to be clever, but at the same time suggest inner beauty." "Do you think you can do that?" "Yes." "What is the line that has worked on you?" "I'm Gary Cooper." "That's not going to work for me Daisy." "Yeah." "Just be yourself." "Okay." "Only smarter, richer, more successful, clean shaven and I'm guessing a bigger cock." "Right." "You're English, use that to your advantage." "Be James Bond, give them the sexual innuendo." "Okay." "Hi." "Do you believe in love at first sight?" "Or should I walk by again." "Do either of you work for UPS because" "I couldn't help but notice you checking out my package." "Nice legs." "What time are they open?" "Hi there." "Hi there." "Hi th...." "Hu." "Hi there." "I'm not James Bond." "What was that for?" "It just looked like so much fun." " Was it?" " Yeah." "I gotta run, just try being yourself." "What you looking for sweetie?" "I don't know." "Okay." "I want to bring something to her grave." "Like what?" "I said I don't know." "You want help?" "No." "Something of hers or something of yours." "Mom." "Go away." "Murray Herbigg?" "We usually see Dr. Wilson." "Well Dr. Wilson is at the Zoo, he had to deliver a baby orang-utan." "It's a breech birth so a high degree of difficulty." "Murray hasn't been eating." "Oh." "Let's have a listen." "Ok." "Hum." "The heart rate is depressed, the kidneys are a bit big." "Any vomiting, any unusual urination?" "coughing up hair balls?" "Yes." " How about the cat?" " What?" "!" "Standard vet joke." "I'm old school." "That's not funny." "Look at her, its panic." "Sorry." "Well my guess is that he is suffering some sort of renal failure." "Oh my god." "Something or someone really frightened him." "Well he's not really very fond of being in the cat carrier." "Ms Herbigg, have you ever heard someone say that mankind is the only species who possesses the knowledge that he's going to die." "Why?" "Well Murray's very old and he's sick." "You think cats know too." "But I'm going to treat him too, I'm going to do everything that I can." "Okay." "It's okay." "Takes deep breaths." "It seemed as if this day, my day, was a bit of a mixed bag." "I shouldn't have been surprised, it's not as if I was particularly lucky girl." "Fifteen years of yoga, and this is it." "Under a sheet I'm toe up in my studio." "Sorry." "The good looking one really cared about you." "Doesn't help my dead ass now, so what's next?" "Off to your final destination." "Where's that?" "No idea." "You have some idea." "Man you know a lot of shit and you like to play it close to the vest." "I would hate to play poker with you." "Don't nod motherfucker, I'm dead, show me some cards." "Let me ask you something." "Yoga is supposed to be connected with the divine, right?" "In yoga drama of the universe gets acted out in our physical body, pure energy marries pure consciousness, trust me." "Only way to fly" "Because of the opportunity for spiritual growth." "Yeah there was that too, see I let the serene beautiful life and I am not embarrassed to tell you the women are phenomenal." "That one there, she's got a little crush on you." "I try to live on the periphery, I try not to get involved with the living." "Okay Man." "You stay on the periphery." "It sounds like fun." "He was so pure." "I really wanted him inside of me." "I can't take this I gotta go." "Hey little boy, I was wondering if you could tell your..." "Little motherfucker." "You dropped this." "Yeah." "What's E.T.D?" "Estimated time of death, can you give..." "What is this." "Who's estimated time of death?" "Who are you?" "I'm Mason, can I have it back please." "What are you some kind of grim reaper?" "Yes." "Yes, say it." "Tell me what you are." "Come on tell me what you are!" "Im a I'm a I'm a..." "I'm a reaper?" "Say it again." "Come on say it again." "I'm a reaper?" "I'm a reaper HAHAHA" "Im a reaper." "Yoga was very good for me, the way my body felt, my mind was at peace and I loved some wonderful women, housewives, shop girls, lawyers, social workers, black, white, Asian." "I was like a kid at a parade." "Yup, I've seen that parade." "You are not one of those monk hats?" "Vow of celibacy... poverty, that some wrong headed shit going on..." "Yeah I think it would be wrong for you." "Touching, stretching laughing..." "that's all I did my whole life." "You should have talked to the pretty woman in my class, she liked you." "You think too much." "I don't think enough." "You are a wise man and a wise man knows how to live." "A wise man knows how little he knows." "I see a lifetime of love and affection." "Then you are a lucky man." "Try this one." "Very nice, don't forget to breath." "Namastay." "Namastay." "I hope we meet again." "I hope so too." "You know how you take something for granted, that's how I was with Murray, he was just in the background." "No, this isn't true." "It's like that Joni Mitchell song." "I think you need to concentrate on..." "Wha.. what!" "What could I possibly say." "..on the fact." "Could I tell Dolores I died earlier this year, and I am waiting for the tiniest bit of perspective." "That the universe will take care of things." "Huh." "You really believe that?" "Yes I do." "I don't know." "I think you need to trust that everything's going to be okay." "That the universe is going to take care of you, of Murray." "As I held Dolores's hand I realised the words I wasn't sure of, or believed, that comfort was enough." "Maybe it was enough to tell Delores things were going to be okay because even if they weren't they would be some day." "Mr Zettsman?" "The doctor said he couldn't find anything wrong with your rabbit." "Eddie has been acting so listlessly." "Is he sure?" "You got to go?" "Yup, my mom's picking me up." "Yeah my Mom too." "Your cat's going to be okay." "He is?" "What's its name?" "Eddie, Eddie Rabbit." "Can I pet him?" "Sure." "Eddie likes kids, isn't it sweetheart." "Cool." "Ms. Herbigg?" "Dr. Levy says your cat is feeling much better." "You can see him if you want." "Oh god, what a day." "Ooh." "My day." "Do you want me to wait here?" "I can." "No." "I'm fine." "I mean I can stay if you want." "Okay." "Oh Milly, I'll see you on Monday morning at Happy Time." "Okay?" "Hey, Hey!" "What!" "So err what's your name?" "Charlie and your name is not Millie." "No it's not Millie." "So how did you die, not Millie?" "I got hit by a toilet seat that fell from a space station." "Toilet seat girl, cool." "So what happened to you?" "Got hit by a car, some drunk girl." "So where do you live?" "Here, there." "I gotta go." "Wait." "What's that for?" "I don't know, just having a day." "Just take it." "Awesome." "So what's your real name?" "George." "See ya around, George." "Where are you today?" "No No." "Um she seems okay." "No no I don't know anything." "Listen I'll call you later." "The day I dropped out of college, I remember lying on my bed." "My mother came into my room and she'd been crying." "She stared at me for a long time and then she said:" ""You only have one shot at life Georgia, this is no dress rehearsal"" "and I said "You know what Mom, maybe I don't want to be in the play"." "A month later I was killed." "I wonder sometimes if someone was listening." "And I commit the soul to thee." "Amen." "Thank you very much." "Do you want to go first?" "Shouldn't we wait for Dad?" "Do you want me to wait?" "Not really." "Georgia?" "I'm sorry I wasn't sweeter." "I'm sorry I ever criticised your appearance because you were a beautiful girl." "What about the time you forgot to pick her up from the airport?" "That was your father's fault." "If you say so." "Can I please just do this how I wanna do it." "I'm sorry..." "I'm sorry I didn't show you as much affection as I felt for you, because I did love you and I miss you." " Nice Mom." " Thanks honey." "You want to say something?" "Yeah but, can you go away?" "Seriously?" "Mom!" "Thank you." "I miss you too, probably more than Mom does." "This is us fishing at the lake last summer and as somebody swipes it, I have the negative." "We could come back?" "Okay." "Maybe tomorrow." "It's me with my little sister." "Her handwriting is exactly like mine." "Can I swipe this?" "It's your grave." "Thank you Daisy." "I keep forgetting how young you were when you were killed." "Is this a nice headstone, I mean is it pretty?" "It's a good one." "Top draw." "Where's Mason?" "Here he is." "Hey Mason." "I took that guy's soul last year." "Right cocksucker, glad he's dead, there you go." "You can put them there." "Rube, thank you." "Everyone, champagne's cold, shall we drink it now?" " May I?" " Sure." "Here's the flutes, try not to snap them in half, they belong to my aunt Lillian." "Well it is a good day to be a reaper." "Okay, here's to George." "Dead like us." "Cheers." " To Georgia." " To me." "To you." "Okay, that's really good." "I have a confession to make." "Graveside no less." "I have never had champagne before." "Wow, I've had too much." "What does it taste like to you." "Like I wish I'd never died." "It's pretty where I am, isn't it?" "Very pretty." "They usually put cemeteries on the edge of town, out of the way, next to railroad tracks, highways." "I like them in the middle of town, everybody can see us." "I love cemeteries, the quiet stories and headstones." " I hate them." " Why?" " 'Cos they live here." " They who?" "Gravelings, fool." "They're over there." "Get outta here." "A little more bubbly, everyone?" "Georgia, I'm sorry for your loss, for things you won't do, people you won't know and who won't know you but there's this, this life and you are loved," " Drink up." " Cheers." "This is no dress rehearsal." "What's that?" "Some drunken writer once said that there are no great second acts in life," "I'm not so sure that he knew what he was talking about." "Or maybe he just never knew me." "So we'll just let George kill the bottle?" "I think we should." "So any post-its tonight?" "That night a man was killed by a speeding car and I was there to take his soul." "The street on which he died turned into a flowing river of light and he hesitated at its banks." "I told him to take a deep breath as it is the last one you will ever take because sometimes in life or in death I guess, you just never know." "Subtitles by Szoszon"
