[Crying] One minute there, the next… well, still there, but… dead.

Come on, Annie, he was only a rabbit.

There was nothing only about Brighteyes.

A rabbit?

[Upset] Yeah.

A bunny rabbit??

Yes.

Oh, for fu–. I thought you were crying about Martin!

Why would Martin's retirement bother me?

Martin hasn't just retired. He's gone and died n'all.

No, when?

Saturday.

What of?

Shrugs

It wasn't the food at his party was it?

Why are you asking me? I'm not Quincy!

Because I had a whole plate of those mini tartlets.

Robin I think he just dropped dead.

Phew! well, here's hoping, eh?

[Clint has left people stuck in a lift for a quick fag]

It's my first one all morning! If I don't have one now I'll have to wait 'till lunchtime.

Tell that to the people in the lift!

Oh, I have.

[Discussing reincarnation]

I wouldn't want to come back again, and if I had to, I'd expect considerably better next time round.

We're all just here to learn a lesson, and once it's sunk in, we move on to a higher plane.

Where do you pick up this crap?

On my mystic mug. A friend brought it back from Goa. It's covered in holy writings, and when you drain the dregs you can see Vishnu giving you four thumbs up.

When I was a little boy I wanted to be a surgeon.

What went wrong?

Well, they don't let children perform operations.

How cheated would you feel? You've spent your days slaving away for these fuckers, working your fingers to the bone, and when you get some time back to yourself, you go and drop dead in Asda's frozen food isle.

Not even fresh.

He didn't die in Asda!? That's where I shop!

The fatality rate must be pretty low though, Barry.

He was just leaning down to fetch a tub of Carte D'or when the whole of his left side went stiff. Poor Pat thought they'd had the freezers up too high, but no… fatal stroke.

Now, I take it you've all heard the sad news about Martin.

[Looking up and shaking his fist] Bastard!

Len, he's not even in his grave!

God's a bastard.

Oh, fine.

Still, if people would observe the company rule about not opening attachments.

You don't always know they're not work related. I opened one this morning from a client. It was the filthiest thing I've ever clapped eyes on!

Was it the woman with the donkey?

Yeah.

I think you'll find it was a mule.

I can understand the animal enjoying itself, but what could that dirty bitch get out of it?

Well, from what I saw, lockjaw.

I can't get it out me head.

That's probably what she was thinking.

Death, eh? We're just passing shadows in the big scheme of things. Gone in the twinklin' of an eye. No rhyme, no reason to it. Your parents have it off, and if the doo-dah meets the wotsit, nine months later out you pop! And you think you've got all the time in the world, don'tcha? When you're young. But the sands of your life are tricklin' down all the while. And as the years pass, they trickle all the quicker. And before you know where you are, they're booking your funeral.

Oh, Leonard. You are quite profound when you're not swearing.

Fuck off!
