Welcome, sir.
Welcome to the Immortal Hills.
Thank you.
It's all by way of making you feel
right at home, Bobby.
Mr. chairman.
Come along, sir.
After you.
This is your place now, you know?
Of course, it isn't as if you
was any stranger here, Bob.
Yes, but somehow this place
like I never saw it before.
It's cold as an icebox in here.
Oh, that thing hasn't
worked in years.
Cement halls, the wet,
you know...
Makes the air a wee bit crisp, you see.
Won't bother you none
once you get down to work.
Well, I'm not sworn in yet.
Oh, that's only for show, sir.
Now, let me see if I've got the list
of committee men right.
First, chairman Robert Kraft, yourself.
Now Mr. Honegger, treasurer,
your uncle George, secretary,
and, of course,
Mr. Trowbridge and Mr. Bates,
making five in all, right?
Right.
You canna find me at any time.
My dwelling's straight across the boulevard,
opposite the gate.
Makes it nice, living so close to my work.
Now, would you like to see the sights, sir,
give the roof a chance to catch the heat?
Hmm.
If you care to make a tour,
it's a bit warmer outside.
That's quite a map.
Oh, yes, sir, that's a map
of the entire cemetery
down to the wee-est speck of dust.
Here we are, and here's
my shed with the rose stone,
and there's the gate
you come in.
Certainly kept it up to date,
there's the new mausoleum
on here, already.
Aye. Oh, yes, sir.
This map's going to be
a big help to you, Bobby.
Suppose you got a customer
and you want to know
what ground we can show him,
this is where the map comes in.
One look, and quick as a wink,
you know who's where and what's what.
It's them pins that makes it so easy.
the ones that is already there,
and the white ones for them as has made
their arrangements
for the future.
Now, for example,
here's my place.
Lovely, isn't she, Bob?
There.
Sun in the morning, but, eh, gets those trees
to give shade in the afternoon heat.
McKee, you've been on
this job now, 40 years, right?
Aye.
Well, I guess
the committee's right,
it's high time we retired you.
Nothing to worry about,
full pension.
You'll draw the same
check every month.
I'm to be paid for nothing from now on?
No, you're to be paid
for 40 years of devotion,
and that's something.
Anyone in mind to replace you?
Oh, aye, uh, why I hadn't a given it
much thought, sir,
but, uh, why?
There must be plenty of young
and hard-muscled toughs
who would give
their eyeteeth for my shoes.
You're outside
near Mother Earth.
Well, let me know if, uh,
you find somebody, huh?
Oh, aye, I will.
Yes, sir, that's quite a map.
Pardon me, sir.
I just wanted to show you
where we keep this,
in case of emergencies.
No need to worry, though,
we haven't had none, yet.
Oh, you expecting visitors, sir?
No, but that sounds like Stu Drexel.
Oh, aye!
Drexel and pretty Beth Ferris.
I heard they was promised.
Looks like they're hitched.
Bethie, many happy
returns of the clay.
Stu, that's a great place
you picked for a honeymoon.
Oh, marriage has
made me conservative.
How 'bout it, Mrs. D.?
Can I carry you
over the threshold?
I still don't think it's so very funny.
I think it's positively awful,
if you really want
to know the truth.
Aw, Bethie, don't be that way.
What's the trouble?
How would you like to get a cemetery plot
for a wedding gift?
Now, Bethie, you know pop
never meant it for a present.
