I know. It's always so difficult

when they're so young.

That's right, you knew her.

She was at your funeral.

She's in good hands now.

Paul:
Oh, hi, Diane.

- Is Anna home?

- I think you'd better come in.

What's wrong?

What happened?

Where is Anna?

Anna was in

a car accident last night.

My daughter's dead.

That's what's happened.

Car accident?

When? What...

what are you talking about?

I don't know.

They said it happened

just before 8:
30.

We were at...

no, we were at a restaurant.

You shouldn't have let her

drive in that weather.

She can't be dead.

There must be some mistake.

There's no mistake.

And flowers... how appropriate.

What?

Why wouldn't you call me?

You took her away from me.

I don't want you

anywhere near her.

Anna:

Please don't hurt me.

How could I hurt you?

You're already dead.

I can't be dead.

Then why are you here?

Just let me go.

Please please.

I won't tell anyone. I promise.

You're still in denial.

You have to trust me.

I'm only here to help you.

What's happening?

Why can't I feel anything?

Why are you keeping me here?

- What are you doing?

- Shh shh shh.

Don't be scared.

This will relax your muscles.

Stop the rigor mortis setting in.

So I can work on your body.

Your mother's early.

Funeral director:

I'm so very sorry, Mrs. Taylor.

It's always so tragic

when one loses a child.

If you'd care to come to my office,

we can make arrangements.

- I want to see her.

- But she hasn't been prepared.

I don't care.

I want to see her.

Of course. This way.

Oh, forgive me.

As I said,

I've only just started

preparing her.

So sorry.

What's the point

of preserving the body

if the soul has already left?

No, the soul is still here.

It's we who suffer.

We who are left behind.

Who's going to take care

of me now?

Did you think about that?

I'll confirm the date

with Father Graham this afternoon:

Friday, as you requested.

Just do what you think is best.

It's just details.

Oh, there is one thing.

- Yes?

- Her hair.

She was a brunette.

I'd like it back to that color.

Of course.

Mom, you were supposed to pick

me up from school yesterday.

I waited.

Tv:
I'll take a look at the clock,

see how many seconds you have

to find the two Easter eggs.

You have 30 seconds.

You understand the problem?

And of course the usual catch

is on "Beat the Clock" is

you can't use your hands.

You have to go after these

with your teeth.

I must be in shock.

I'm just in shock.

It's okay.

Father Graham,

thanks for calling back.

Yes, I'd like to confirm

the burial service for Friday.

The deceased is Anna Taylor.

T- A-Y-L-O-R.

Yes, she's downstairs.

Hello? Hello!

Let me out!
