[Clancy has given Reggie a poem, a portion of Shakespeare's Twelfth Sonnet.]
He said for you to read it. He said the end's the best part.
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake // And die as fast as they see others grow; // And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence // Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.
What does it mean?
It's Shakespeare. It means... it means you should have kids because then you're never alone.
Is Dad trying to get back together with you?
No sweetie, no. He did it for you. It's about you.
Okay George, five reasons why men are scum and women let us get away with it. 1. We all only want one thing. No exceptions. 2. We fall in love before we have that thing, and then fall back out once we've had it, whereas women conversly fall in love afterwards. 3. We will lie, cheat, steal or murder to get that one thing. Why am I sugarcoating this? You're a big girl. In order to fuck you. 4. We freely admit the numbers 1 through 3 and women don't care, and the number 5 reason why men are scum and women let us get away with it: You can't live without us.
(Raising her shot glass to toast him) Here's to your bullshit, Ray. (Throws three more darts and gets a bullseye on the last one) Fucking men.
[voiceover] They say coming clean is good for the soul, that it puts things in perspective. You can get a sense of your place in the order of things...a sense of who you really are and what's important. This is my perspective. I am a grim reaper. I take souls. I do not go to prom. I do not live happily ever after. This is who I am. Anyone got a problem with that?
And now Mason will show little Georgie the finer art of stress relief through petty vandalism. Don't get me wrong. We will egg Trip's fucking mansion, but first...[Holds out a pen]
[Reggie leaves her dog J.D. in Joy's care when her Goth friend "Raven" finds him too "preppy".]
[to J.D.] Oh, don't you worry. She needs a friend who's human. Or something close.
[Flashback to elementary-school-age George reading A Tale of Two Cities instead of going to her friend's birthday party.]
We bought her a present!
What did you get her?
We got her a flannel nightgown. With pretty little flowers on it!
Mom. You're gonna get me killed.
Georgia, don't be silly. We're going.
Not.
You are so!
So not.
Why do you have to be so obstinate?
Obstinate. O-B-S-T-I-N-A-T-E. Stubborn.
Georgia Lass, you cannot spend your entire life with your nose stuck in a book!
Try me.
[At a spelling bee, emcee G. McFadden's soul finds itself sitting beside George and Mason.]
What just happened?
Oh, I'm afraid you are D-E-D…
No, that's D-E-A-D.
I was joking!
[At the restaurant, Mason and George return from the bee.]
Hey! How'd it go?
G-R-E-A-T.
It was a spelling bee.
[to Mason] Seriously, how'd it go?
F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C.
How do I get it to stop?
Well, go on, Georgie, tell him.
Well, as far as senseless, brutal deaths go, I say it went beautifully.
Yeah! So maybe a little simple "thank you" is in order, instead of your constant irritation, Ruby. Maybe a little bit of G-R-A-T… uh… t… i-i-tude, tude.
[Rube hands out Post-its.]
For you, and you.
Where's Roxy?
She has got a personal day.
Well, why don't I have a personal day?
Because you're an F-U-C-K-U-P.
"Fuck up" has two words.
Actually, "fuck-up" is a hyphenate.
[They all look at her.]
Well, it is!
[Ray introduces himself to Rube at Der Waffle Haus and shakes his hand.]
That's quite a death grip you got there, Rube.
[George tries to find a way to communicate to memory-challenged Nina that she has died.]
Do you want to hear a story, Nina?
Oh, I love stories.
Well, once there was a girl named George. She was 18 years old. And she didn't have a husband William, she didn't have have a daughter named Beth, but she had a mom, a father, and a sister. And, one day, she went outside — it was a sunny day, a few clouds, but an ordinary day — and she went out to get some lunch, and this man… he stopped me. And he talked to me. And he knew my last name. I told him to leave me alone, but… then something from the sky fell. And I didn't feel anything. I couldn't remember anything… at first. But then I did. I realized… I died.
[George reaches over to Nina's memory Post-it pad.]
I… died.
[She writes on the pad.]
I'm dead.
[Mason buries Ray's corpse as Daisy watches him through the window crying.]
[voiceover] There are things inside you that no one wants to face. Things that you keep secret, even from yourself. But secrets are funny. The things you try to hide always turn out to be the things you can't forget
You know, this morning, when you said you spent your last day on Earth, your very, very last day on Earth, stapling?
Filing.
My God, that's even worse. You said you regretted it, didn't you?
Yeah of course. Who gives a shit?
My God, I give a shit. Rube tells us to be on the periphery. To keep away from...things. To keep our distance from...life. Our family...
Yeah?
God, it is nonsense. You get close, Georgie, you get close to everybody that ever meant anything to you.
Have you been drinking?
Of course I've bloody been drinking. And it's last call. And you gotta...you gotta drink up while you still can.
[Rejecting Mason's ring] I won't fall in love, I won't get married, I won't grow old with someone, not with you or anyone.
[voiceover] We think we can't do something… [chanting] we think we can't, we think we can't, we think we can't… but we can.
