before moving on.

And that means

you have to go back.

Go back?

Your Final

Assessment Assignment...

is to go back and solve

your own murder.

Solve my own murder?

This is not a wedding ceremony,

Mr. Browning.

You are not obligated

to repeat everything I say.

[Objects Splashing]

Apparently, an innocent man

has been charged with your murder...

as well as the murder

of a Miss Patricia Elliot.

- His name is Quimby-Charles.

- That's the man who hired me.

That's not the man

who hired me.

"Socialite and lover"?

That son of a b*tch set me up.

Please watch your language, Mr. Browning.

Remember where you are.

Take this down

to R.R.D. D...

- which is the second door

on the left, down the hall.

- What's it for?

For a Returnable. You certainly

can't go back in your own body.

Ah.

- Why not?

- It has a hole in it.

Oh.

[Door Whooshing]

- Where's the door?

- Please sit down, Mr. Browning.

I just...

[Pod Engine Revving]

[Man Over P.A.]

A message for new arrivals.

This is the last day to register

for the stained glass class.

And don't forget,

you ultra-sports...

Coach Diogenes is still looking

for a few good volleyball players.

Flight number.

Welcome, and

just follow the red line.

[Man Over P.A.] Oh, I forgot to tell ya.

Due to lack of interest...

the Astral Projection

Society...

has canceled tonight's

screening of Halos for Heroes.

Just follow that red line.

- I've been there. People

have been sending me there.

- Follow the red line!

How'd you die?

Well, um, I don't feel like discussing it.

It's kind of personal.

- [Woman] Next.

- My vacuum cleaner.

Computer

identification number.

- Pardon?

- I said, computer identification number.

Uh, I didn't know

I had one.

- [Gasps]

- BJ B779.

Seven months. Maybe six

if you're not picky about sex. Next?

Hold it! Hold it.

You don't understand.

I have to go back now.

Today. Right now.

- If these bastards would write

so somebody could read it.

- [Man] Follow that red line.

Mr. Higgins thinks you should

watch your language up here.

You wanna know

what Mr. Higgins can do?

- I don't think so. No.

- [Man]Just follow the red line.

An immediate return

means an L.G.R.

L.G.R.?

Lower Grade Returnable.

Ah, anthropoid...

bovine, equine, rodent...

- Excuse me. Miss? Hello?

- Marsupial, pachyderm...

- crustacean, canine.

- Excuse me. Wait a minute.

Those are animals.

I'm not going back as an animal.

I want a person.

I have an assignment.

I have to solve a murder and get

an innocent man out of jail.

- Now how can I do that as an animal?

- I have a dog.

Small mongrel due to be hit

by a garbage truck in 45 seconds.

I want to see Mr. Higgins. He didn't say
