"Smells like smoke in here." "You gotta get some incense or something." "Look everything's, everything's covered with soot." "You know, you better get a cleaning lady come in, or something." "I know you're not gonna do it." "Probably better off moving out." "I'm not cleaning it." "God Jeff, if only you were here right now, you'd know what to do." "Jeff." " It works." " Are you okay?" "Get down." "Mona?" "Mona?" "You all right?" " Yeah." "You?" "Yeah." "Listen Jeff, Im really sorry about this whole box thing." "Which part?" "The fucking or the stabbing?" " Both." "Why can I see you?" " 'Cause, whether you know it or not, you do love me." "So what do you do now?" " Well being dead's okay." "I guess." "I mean, I always thought there was a lot of cool shit out there that we couldnt see." "And now I know there is." "That's great, but I'm kind of stuck in the middle." "I'm not here, I'm not there." "It's kind of weird." "Why is that?" "Well, a body's got to be properly buried for the spirit to move on." "Heavy, huh?" " Yeah." "Listen don't worry about all that other stuff." "I take care of it." "Okay?" "I promise." "What did that car jacker do with Rosie's truck anyway?" " I don't know." "I fell off." "I think I know how to get it back." "Good night." "Rosie?"

" She's my cousin." " Yeah." "And the boyfriend?" " Well, This is what we know." "And this is second hand information, of course." "Supposedly... our, our friend's boyfriend you know, he realizes that, you know, his girlfriend's getthr tired of him... right?" "I don't know." "I guess like the relationship's getting stale." "Or something." "I don't know." "So he decides he's gonna like surprise her, right?" "So." "And." "Can you get to the point please?" "Take it easy pal all right?" "Im getting there." "So, he mails himself to her." "Okay, right he gets in one of those, like, big moving boxes, right." "And she's all excited." "She gets it and like, when she goes to open it, she, she accidentally," " What?" "She accidentally what?" "Well she, She like, stabs him in the head" "You know, like right about here, hypothetically." "And where's the boyfriend now?" "Well you tell your friend that if that... box ever turns up, she's fucked." "Hypothetically." "Mona." "Listen to me." "Listen." "They're never going to find that box, okay?" "And what, if they did maybe they'll think the car jacker did it It'll be perfect" "Yeah." "Okay." "The car jacker." "The car jacker had a symbol on his a hand; it was the same as the Stranger's." "So?" " So, if I could find the car jacker, then maybe I could get," "I could get Jeffs body back." "And then I could make it okay." "And then he wouldn't be cold and miserable any more." "Mona, listen to me." "Listen to me." "I'm really sorry that Jeff died okay?" "But you've got to learn to let go." "All right?" "Now, I, I hate to leave you in a time like this." "But, you know, me and me and Caesar, we gotta, you know, we gotta make a home of our own." "So I love you." "And I'll see you at Thanksgiving." "But I gotta go." "All right?" "Bye" "Hello?" "My God." "Jeff." "I painted this." "It's happened again." "I really am going insane." "I mean, who would want to steal my stuff?" "What the hell is going on?" "I kind of like it like this." "So it's, it's simple." "No stuff." "I mean, stuff's so unimportant." "Take it from me." "And look, they left Blue Lips." " Hooray." "You know, my paintings aren't just stuff." "They're, no maybe they are." "I don't know." "I don't know." "I know." "They're good." "Yeah but." "But you don't count." "I mean you've known me forever." "Well that's exactly why I should count more than anybody else, because I know how good you really are." "But I, I don't think it works that way at all." " I know why I don't count." "Because, if I like you, then there must be something wrong with me." "Because, how could anybody like you?" "I mean you're awful, right?" "I mean, you did kill me." " Well, I didn't mean to." "That's right, I forgot." "You're not a murderer, you're just a lousy painter." "Lousy painter?" "But you said I was a good painter." " So I do count." "God you know, everything is just a joke to you." "You know, that's the real reason I broke up with you." "Because you can't take anything." "Seriously." "You know what your problem is?" "You're scared, you're scared to commit." "I'm not scared." "You know none of this would have happened if you hadn't screwed that fucking Stranger" "Hairy scumbag." "They left the animal." "Hey." "Hey." " No, let go of me!" " Hey, hey, hey, - who are you?" "What are you doing here?" " I live here." "Who are you?" "What do you mean you live here?" " It's my apartment." "They told me you moved back with your mother." " Who told you that?" "The guy who gave me all the keys." " What guy?" "Isn't he a friend of yours?" " A friend?" "Well, the minister down the road told me, he saw you doing it with him behind the church." "Come on." "No, Im not Mona, Your mother." "What' s the name of the fish?" " Blue Lips." "Hi Blue Lips. - Mom?" " How are you?" "What do you mean he took all my stuff out of my room?" "He has intended to take the fish too." "Blue Lips." "How could you let him steal my childhood?" "Well honey, he told me that he was a friend of yours, and that you hired him to move all your stuff, Im sorry." "How 'bout some chocolate chip pancakes?" "Patience is a virtue." "Virtue is a grace." "Put them all together and you get a happy face." "That reminds me." "There's something I really want to show you." "Surprise." "What do you think?" "Gee." "I, uh." "I never knew you were so into..." " Decoupage." "That's the technical name for it." "It's spelled- d-e-c-o-u-p-a-g-e." "I don't even think it's in the dictionary." "Maybe that's because it's French." "And you know it's not as easy as it looks." "You have to pick the right picture for the right object." "Bees and flowers for mail boxes." "Bees go from flower to flower... as letters do." "Should we stick with the red." "Or should we switch to white?" "Red." "Jeff." "What are you doing here?" " I came to see your mother." "She loves me." "She does." "Maybe she can see you too." "Mona, who were you talking to?" " No one." "All right." "And you're worried about me?" "Honey; can I ask you a question?" " Sure." "Did you sleep with that guy who took all your stuff?" "Mom." " Well, did you?" "Ma." "We've got to get you a boyfriend" "Honey." "The last time a man looked at me." "That wasn't your father was in...nineteen." "Eighty-seven." "Now it's too late." "For me, to have a boyfriend" "Mom?" "You picture it." "It will happen." "Really?" " Trust me." "I got that from somebody who knows." "Jeff, you've really got to stop doing that." "Fine." "No problem." "If you want to get rid of me, find my body." "I am trying to find your body." "But I am also trying to keep some semblance of my life together, which is very hard Seeing as all I have left are these pompoms." "At least you've got a life." " How are you?" "This whole death business is getting a little dull." "I can't believe you were a cheerleader." "Real stupid huh?" " Very stupid." "Hey, you're not supposed to say that." "Know what I miss?" "I miss you speaking to me in your fake French." "It is not fake." "It is real." "God." "Jeff, Im a sleepy little kitten." "Then go to sleep." " Okay." "Good night." "Mona?" "Mona?" "Mona?" "Honey get up." "You're missing the best part of the day." "Hey get out of here." " I'll just climb down the trellis." "No." "No." "Shut the door." "Quick, quick, you gotta go." "Mona!" " God."

"Did you remember to remind him about Thanksgiving?" "Mom, Jeff s not gonna be coming this year." "Honey, you say that every year." " I know, but this year Im sure." "Honey look, I decoupaged this for you." " Where did you get that?" "I think that your friend left it." "You didn't say anything." "Do you like it?" " Yeah." "Thank you mom." "I love you." " Love you." "Careful." "What do you want?" " Get out of here." "You're not exactly in the position of throwing me out." "Give me the key." "No." " No?" "Look, give me the key or I eat the little fish." "Mona." "You look like one of the martyrs." "Well Im feeling pretty persecuted these days." "Well can I help?" " I don't know." "Do you know what this is?" "Does it mean anything to you?" " Yeah, I think that's what they call decoupage." "Well I know that." "But I mean the symbol." "Does it mean anything to you?" "Yeah I know what that is." "It sort of stands for the place where sinners congregate." "Well how do I find it?" "Hey come on!" " Hey what about me?" "The car jacker." "You animal." "What kind of a Girl." "Do you think I am?" "I know who you are." "He told me what you did." "Don't be modest." "Don't be modest." "What's his name?" "Find my body." "It's you."
