It's a Wonderful Afterlife Page #2
I still wake up in a state, too.
Make you a hot cup of milk, hm?
It's all right.
THUNDERCLAP:
BIRDSONG:
SIGHS:
SCREAMS:
Why did you do it?
What were you thinking?
What is wrong with you?
MUFFLED:
Morning, Mum.
Pale? She should see us.
How you feeling?
I'm OK.
I better get to work.
Sure you're OK?
We're the ones who are dead.
The girl works too hard,
that's why she's let her body go.
Fat mother, fat daughter.
What's wrong, Mum?
I'm sorry, beta.
You please go to work.
Take some stuffed parantas
for lunch.
What? She already has
a bottom like a buffalo.
Call me if you need anything.
I'm picking up Linda at the airport
after work.
That's why I did it.
What?
You said my daughter's too fat
for you.
And you said she's too ugly
for your cousin's sister's son.
And you?
You said she's not good enough
for your nephew Tej.
So you broke her engagement, made
some mischief and broke her heart.
You all rejected her
without even knowing her.
You can't be nice to her
even in death.
She is all I can ask for
in a daughter.
She's loving, dutiful, considerate.
And still no-one will have her.
She deserves to have a good husband
and a good family.
And you all got what you deserve.
Deserve this? For trying to help
you find a match for moto-joto?
You killed us for telling the truth.
Surely an over-reaction, no?
But we rejected so many girls.
Better to break an engagement
than have a bad match for ever.
MUFFLED:
This isn't real.
This can't be happening.
It's real to us.
POSTMAN:
Morning.Oi, post wallah, look.
Mr Postman, look at us.
DOG BARKS:
Milo!
What's wrong? You look bothered.
Are your son and my Ari
raising your blood pressure?
about me today?
Did you dye your hair?
after they die?
Willesden.
Huh?
The Jewish cemetery.
It's lovely, all green and peaceful.
Milo!
No, I mean your spirit. Your soul.
Oh, that. Nothing.
When you're dead you're dead.
That's sad.
At least we have reincarnation.
You see, we have reincarnation.
Everybody is reborn.
What, everyone?
If you're good in this life,
you come back again next time
as something good,
like a holy person.
But if you're bad then you come back
as something bad, like a cockroach.
So if we're dead
why are we still here?
Why haven't we been reincarnated?
I have no idea.
Maybe you all did very bad things
in your life
so you're off the scale.
But what about the bad you've done?
What's going to happen to you?
You know I'm a vegetarian. Why
stab me with chicken tikka kebab?
Why not panir?
