In Lieu of Flowers Page #3

Um, nope.

Why don't you

just start with telling us

who it is that

you're grieving for?

My girlfriend.

And did you lose her recently?

A little over two months ago.

And if I may ask,

how did you lose her?

Suddenly.

Well, is there anything

that you would care

to share with us about

how you're feeling or?

Look, um, I don't mean

to sound...

but this whole process,

I think I'm at

a different stage or...

Well, the Kubler Ross Model

of five stages of grieving

is really only supposed

to act as a loose framework

of the grieving process,

accounting for everything

from the grief of losing

a loved one

to the grief of somebody

who's dying himself.

Is there a difference?

Um...

No, thanks.

Smart move.

It's actually my first

pack in three years.

Really?

Why'd you start up again?

I don't know.

I guess it is pretty...

Lame?

I was going to say

dramatic, but sure, that works.

- Well, I wouldn't recommend it.

- You don't say?

No, no, it's not that,

I've just...

I've found that in

trying to deal with this,

the more bad habits

you can avoid,

the better you'll feel.

Has that worked for you?

I'm still waiting

for it to kick in.

I don't know, I guess

I just needed

something to focus my energy on.

And of all the things

you could've chosen,

you picked cigarettes?

Well, it was this

or learning guitar

and nobody wants that.

No, just this and running.

Smoking and running?

Isn't that a little...

Self defeating?

No, it's very self defeating.

Um, Eric.

Um, Rachel.

Well, bye.

See ya.

Ah!

- Hey.

- Yo, where you been?

Just out.

Have you been smoking?

No.

Hey, do you know

a good dermatologist?

For what, your emphysema?

Yeah, I need a skin

doctor for my emphysema, idiot.

For what, your hemorrhoids?

Oh, calm down, you baby.

Jesus, yeah I know a guy.

Why, what's wrong with you,

besides the obvious?

I've been getting these

weird little moles.

Oh!

Not down, uh, you know?

No, my stomach, but thanks.

...when members of the local

police force opened fire.

It has been described

as an isolated incident.

Though, recent events would

seem to indicate otherwise.

Located in the once hotly

contested border region,

the province had,

in recent months, been viewed...

Have you heard

from Steve lately?

Making this mutinous

attack by local police force

that much more troubling.

Hi, Eric.

It's Melissa again.

Look, I know this is hard,

but we're really trying

to get the rest of this stuff

sorted out

and it would be

a really big help

if you could come

pick up your things, soon.

I mean if you don't want them,

I can get rid of them, but...

Thanks.

Hi.

Hi, how are you?

Good, good.
