00:00 [Sigh]
00:01 He's not going to be in these, right?
00:04 We're deciding among ourselves to call the family to tell them that the body's missing.
00:09 It's not like you can say, "Hey, listen, we can't find the body. I'll talk to you later."
00:12 You know, you have to kind of sit there and kind of, "What are you going to do about this?"
00:15 The hospital can't find the body.
00:17 So, I don't know what to tell you.
00:20 But when they find it, they'll call us.

00:31 Do you want to use gloves or do you just want to run, doggie?
00:35 Don't wait for the others. Start with the head back.
00:38 Okay.
00:40 Just go directly back to your car so I can bring more people up.
00:44 That's my birthday. That's my birthday.
00:46 The mind can only take so much seriousness.
00:50 She's looking for a romantic Jewish guy.
00:53 I'm not a romantic Jewish guy. Forget about it.
00:56 Oh, there's Regina. Looks like she makes open peach pie. That could be good.
01:02 There's nothing sacred in this anymore.
01:04 This funeral home is overcapacitated with human remains, and that is true.
01:08 This is like Tetris.
01:10 Yeah.
01:12 Give me one second. Yes?
01:14 Don't hang up. Just hold on.
01:16 We start at 7 in the morning and we go till midnight every night.
01:20 The body's been in our funeral home for seven days and you haven't signed the death certificate.
01:23 Anna Alimany died April 5th. Where's the death certificate?
01:26 Embalming does--it slows down the decomposition process, but the freezing of the body, she looked--I mean, you know.
01:34 What do you need?
01:36 A knife?
01:38 You're built for more than that, baby.
01:40 [laughing]
01:42 Well, I can't help you if I can't talk to you.
01:53 I'll show you what it's like with you guys. How do you guys get around?
01:57 I see what the problem is. You can't get around.
02:02 Omar's dad died the other night.
02:08 Yo, what?
02:12 [music]
02:14 Do you want to live with somebody?
02:34 You're asking me on a date?
02:36 [laughing]
02:38 Okay.
02:40 [music]
02:42 There's got to be a better life than this, huh?
