Death At A Funeral Page #4

Synopsis: Daniel is a decent young man, married to Jane, still living at his father's home. When his father dies, it is up to him to organize his funeral. On this painful morning, the suitable grave expression on his face, Daniel is ready to welcome his father's friends and relatives. But preserving the dignity inherent in such circumstances will be a hard task. Particularly with an undertaker who botches his work, the return from the USA of his famous but selfish brother, his cousin's fiancé who has accidentally ingested drugs, the presence a moron who takes advantage of the sad event to win back the heart (or rather the body) of a woman who is about to marry another, of a handicapped old uncle who is also the most unbearable pain in the neck. To cap it all, Daniel notices the presence among the mourners of a mysterious dwarf nobody else seems to know...

Why?

What is it?

I have to tell you something.

I'm warning you in advance

you're not gonna like it.

Nice to see you.

Thank you for coming.

Daniel.

Uncle Victor.

Hello, Robert.

Uncle Victor.

How are you?

I'm...

...sad.

I understand.

So, how are things in

New York?

Great. Really good.

What's with this nonsense about you

not doing the eulogy?

That's right. Daniel is gonna

do the eulogy.

Well that's a dams shame.

I mean, I'm sure Daniel will

be fine but...

...after all you're the

writer in the family.

Will you just excuse me a second?

So...

...any new books coming out?

I'll get my things together.

Sure.

You alright?

Every single bloody person

wants Robert to do the eulogy.

He's my father too

isn't he?

I'm entitled to the

bloody eulogy.

Of course.

And it's gonna be the best bloody

eulogy anybody has ever heard.

Alright?

Looks like Robert won't

be doing the eulogy.

What did you just say?

I said the valium you gave Simon

wasn't actually a valium.

It's a hallucinegenic concoction.

You know, stuff lice acid, mescalin,

a little smaller though

This isn't funny Troy.

I'm not being funny.

Look at him.

You're absolutely stupid

How can you leave stuff like

that, on your flat?

I didn't think that

someone will take it.

Who goes to someone else's flat

and take anything?

it was a valium bottle.

F***, Troy.

What am i to do?

Should i tell him?

No! Don't do that.

You'll freak him out completely.

We should keep a

very close eye on him.

Make sure he doesn't get

out of control.

And don't let him spend too long

talking to one person.

Damn.

Hey dad.

How are you doing?

You're late.

Hi dad.

Hi Troy.

You're missing Univercity

today?

Nothing to worry.

I'll catch up.

I know.

I'm not worried about you.

I see you brought

your friend along.

His name is Simon.

Simon?

Of course i brought him,

he's my boyfriend.

Martha, so good to see you.

I'm so sorry aunt Sandra.

We'll miss ucle Edward terribly.

Yeah, he was a great guy.

Yes he was.

Simon, this is my...

Yeah absolutely...

So sorry about the death.

So sorry...

Thank you.

...everything.

What are you gonna do?

No idea.

I can't leave. Aunt Sandra will

never speak to me again.

Sh*t.

Hey Martha.

You look nice.

I'm dressed for a funeral.

Yeah, but still...

I heard about the engagement.

What's that about?

Who told you that?

I haven't even told my dad

Is that the guy you're

gonna marry?

You're gonna spend the rest of

your life with him?

Yup, that's him.

Simon?

Martha...

Come on!

Can you give me a hand Justin?

Hi...Daniel.

There's something i'd like to talk to

you about when you have a moment.

Great, do you mind

if we do it later?
