- Hi.

- Hi.

Sit...

- Matt.

- Sandra.

I have something for you.

- Fifth edition.

- It's mine.

I'm a med student.

- What year?

- Actually, I'm not in med school right now.

I'm, you know, taking some time off.

So, how is it working at the funeral home?

It's a full-time job.

Why would you want to be an embalmer?

Because of the bodies.

What do you mean?

I make love to them.

Really?

Yeah, dead bodies.

You don't believe me, do you?

I believe you.

I've never told that to anyone.

- Men or women?

- Men.

Young men.

- Fresh corpses?

- Yes.

Do you climb on top of them?

- Yeah.

- And then...

Blood?

Yeah, it's essential.

You know, when you think about it,

sperm propagates life...

but blood sustains it.

Blood is primary.

Yes.

This is where I live.

You want to come in?

- Maybe another...

- Maybe another time.

- Okay.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

- Oh, your bag.

Okay. Thanks. See you.

Bye.

I live in the basement.

Hi!

No.

Go around the front and down the steps

and I'll let you in.

- Okay.

- Okay.

The biographies of my life.

- One day I'll clean up around here.

- No, I like it.

Yeah?

She looks like you.

- You think so?

- Absolutely.

Those are sample bottles, from the school.

- Do you want to dance?

- No.

- I'm just not very good at it.

- Okay.

- Sorry.

- That's okay.

- Do you want a drink?

- No. Thanks.

I've never done this before.

That's okay.

It's all right.

Just lie back.

Just lie still.

That night I knew I couldn't give it up.

And I didn't think I would ever have to.

Why do you need to know all the details?

I'm just curious, that's all.

Anyone would be.

- That's the only reason?

- No.

I've never met anyone like you before.

You're totally different.

- Like an experiment?

- No, you're compelling.

You're complex...

you're complicated, you're dynamic...

You know?

I like you, Sandra.

I want to show you something.

I spent a lot of time here.

This is where I lost Carol.

What happened to her?

I don't know. Married somewhere.

I don't believe in marriage.

- Come on.

- Think about it.

Sex would get pretty stale.

And how would you know?

I don't want to know.

It's all one way.

- That's not true.

- They can't even feel anything.

Yes, they can.

I think you're drafting personalities

onto the corpses.

Then I guess I have

a pretty big imagination...

'cause I've never met two the same.

You could have a pretty big imagination.

Schizophrenics...

are able to manufacture

dozens of complex personalities.

- Thank you!

- Face it, it's all about control.

You create this history, this life, for them...

and then you have total control over them.

It has nothing to do with control.
