out just like you requested.

Yes.

When your father passed away,

he left a lot of debt.

I'm afraid, without a substantial payment,

we have no choice but to

begin foreclosure proceedings

at the end of the month.

Hello, Mrs. Wilson?

Hey, this-this is Qwerty from the mortuary.

Why are you calling?

No, I-I was wondering-

I know I promised no

payments till after New Year,

but I was just wondering if-

if there was anything you can

offer in the next few days,

that would-that would

be hugely appreciated.

Richard got laid off.

It's Christmas,

and I haven't gotten the

children anything yet.

I don't think-

All right, no, you know what?

Forget the call. Forget the call.

You keep the money,

and you buy your kids some gifts.

You make it a good Christmas for 'em.

Thank you, Qwerty.

Your father would be proud.

All right, no.

You're a fine young man.

Yep, you have a good night, Mrs. Wilson.

All right.

Oh, Christ, I'm sorry.

You-you scared me.

I was driving by, I saw the lights in here,

so I thought it was open.

No, we're actually closed.

We open at 10:
00 in the morning.

Okay.

I need a coffin.

I need it tonight.

And I'll pay you cash for it.

It's kind of- it's peaceful in there, huh?

What do you think?

Sorry.

I'll take it.

All right, sir.

It's a-it's a great choice.

You won't be disappointed.

I have another request.

Oh, we can customize it

with anything you want.

In the past, we even put

a complete sound system

with speakers in.

No, no, this-this is-

No, no, I like the coffin.

It's just that it needs a body.

Oh, we're a full service mortuary, sir.

Has-has the deceased been embalmed yet?

No, he's-he's not dead yet.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

Sir, please-

Please, I don't want any trouble.

I know this is an unusual request,

but I need you to take this gun

and put a bullet inside my heart.

No, perhaps you've been drinking.

Please, everything is-

everything's gonna be all right.

- I can pay you.

- No.

I got $50,000 cash.

What, you don't believe me?

I'll show you.

I'll show you; it's in my car.

This can't be happening.

It could all be yours.

I know you have problems.

I heard you on the phone.

We all have problems.

You help-you help me with

mine, I help you with yours.

No, keep it.

Please, please. Please, sir.

Sir, in my-in my profession,

I see death every day,

some by accident, some by sickness,

but some through despair.

These are the ones

I wish I could have helped.

Help me.

Help me by pulling this trigger.

Please.

Come on, please.

Please, I need your help.

- No.

- Please.

- Go ahead.

- I won't do it.

I won't kill you. No.

Why?

It's easy!

I and my father are one?
