involve vegetables

Or anything related to latex.

I can't guarantee.

So, did you come home

for inspiration,

Or to show off your

mad condom-Rolling skills?

Funny.

Um, out of necessity, mostly,

But... if inspiration

was to smack me in the face,

I'd absolutely welcome it.

I'll smack you in the face.

Ow.

Anything?

I sort of unofficially adopted

This lonely

little stretch of road.

Ohh.

Ooh.

Ohh.

Poor little thing.

Probably never knew

what hit him.

It's a mystery...

The when, how,

and if of it all.

I meant more

car-Bus-Moped.

What would you do if you found

out you were gonna die soon?

Try not to.

Wouldn't it shock you out of your comfort

zone and make you feel so alive?

I'm just trying to get through

the living part right now.

Mmm.

Kyle...

I found out recently

That...

I'm gonna die soon.

Well... shoot that

messenger, right?

( STIFLED CHUCKLE )

Wait. You're serious.

You're dying.

Yeah.

And you're a writer.

Um...

presumably a good writer,

so I was wondering

If you would write my obituary.

I- I don't want the last thing

That people read

about me to be some

Grammatically incorrect

piece of crap.

I want my obituary

to be classy and sassy.

I don't even know you.

So we'll probably have to

spend a lot of time together.

All right,

you're acting all weird.

Um... forget

I said anything.

Yeah. Yeah, no.

That's... That's in

the past now.

Gone. Zap.

Joy...

how would I...

I can't. I can't.

I... i-I can't.

Joy.

( COUGHS )

You should get that

cough looked at!

It could be tuberculosis!

It's just a throat-

Clearing thing.

( DOOR SLAMS; ENGINE

STARTS ) Uh...

( CRYING ) I knew it!

And with a fat chick!

Kyle!

I was prom queen, Kyle!

I was destined to be

blissfully happy forever.

MARSHALL:
Pat,

you got my keys?

Ohh!

What?

I'm not chocolicious

enough for you?

Is that it?

( PATSY AND MARSHALL

ARGUING OUTSIDE )

"It is a deliberate mystery,

The how, when,

and if of it all..."

You see this gray face?

I'll be wearing it from now

Till you start being

honest with me!

( PATSY CRYING )

( KNOCK ON DOOR )

Uncle Kyle.

Not now!

( KYLE SNORING )

( FRONT DOOR OPENS )

( DOOR CLOSES )

PATSY:
Come on,

slowpoke, we'll be late!

MEL:
I've been going

to school for a decade,

And I have never been late!

Bye, grandpa.

Yep.

PATSY:
Bye, Alan.
