CLOSE ON A WOMAN'S WHITE-GLOVED HAND, gracefully trailing
along a reflective black surface. PULLING BACK to reveal a
beautiful MODEL in a sleek black gown, as she moves slowly
past a shiny black luxury car, trailing her fingers along its
contours. It seems as if we're in a television commercial for
some expensive, luxury automobile. Then we WIDEN TO REVEAL
the car is actually a contemporary-model HEARSE.
ANNOUNCER (V.O.)
(soft-spoken, soothing)
The new Millennium Edition Crown Superior
Funeral Coach. Sized to accommodate even
the largest caskets, the XL-500 offers
your loved one the very latest in style
and comfort--
The commercial ends abruptly, as if someone switched the TV
off. MUSIC ENDS and the SCREEN GOES BLACK.
We HEAR Bing Crosby singing "I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS."
2 EXT. STREET - AFTERNOON (DAY ONE) 2
SLOWLY TILTING DOWN past plastic CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS hanging
from streetlamps... to an URBAN STREET lined with small
businesses. A SALVATION ARMY SANTA stands on the sidewalk,
RINGING his BELL. This being Los Angeles, it's sunny and there
are palm trees.
A shiny black HEARSE, just like the one in the commercial,
glides beneath us.
3 INT. HEARSE - CONTINUOUS (DAY ONE) 3
NATHANIEL FISHER (56) drives, smoking a CIGARETTE. A somewhat
severe face, but too weary to be menacing. Bing Crosby sings
"I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS" on the RADIO.
NATHANIEL:
(sings along)
I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRIST--MAS... YOU CAN
PLAN ON ME...
A CELL PHONE RINGS. Nathaniel answers it.
NATHANIEL (CONT'D)
Nathaniel Fisher.

4 EXT. FUNERAL HOME - AFTERNOON, CONTINUOUS (DAY ONE) 4
We're MOVING slowly past a three-story HOME that's been around
for a while. REVEAL a SIGN that reads:
FISHER AND SONS:
FUNERAL HOME:
RUTH (O.S.)
Nathaniel, it's Ruth. Did you take your
blood pressure medication today?
NATHANIEL (0.C.)
(over phone line)
Yes.
RUTH (O.S.)
Don't lie to me.
NATHANIEL (O.S.)
I took it. What do you want me to do,
O.D. on it?
