Death At A Funeral Page #2

Hey Martha.

Who's that?

What's happening?

Did you see that?

She barely even looked at me.

I said what's happening?

Are we there?

Oh, my God. We got

uncle Alfie in the car.

I can't believe i forgot to say

i've got uncle Alfie in the car.

Alright, keep your hair on!

What the hell is going on?

She barely even looked.

Very green here. Isn't it...?

Very green...

Simon, what the hell is

the matter with you?

What do you mean?

You're talking about phantom dogs

and things beeing green...

What's going on?

i don't know...

Martha.

Is Simon normally like this?

Of course he's not normally

like this.

Something's not right.

Hello...

I think it must be the valium.

The valium?

Yes.

I gave a valium

from your flat.

I think he's just not

used to it...

Right.

Are you gonna get any closer?

You're going the wrong way.

Stop the car. I need to

speak to Martha.

What?

i need to speak to Martha.

What about Alfie?

I need help with uncle Alfie.

We're gonna be late!

Please, stop doing that.

Thank you for coming.

So good to see you.

It's so wierd to be back here.

I feel so out of it.

That's because you live in a different

country. You loose touch.

Who are all these people?

I don't recognise any of them.

Who's that guy?

I've no idea. Probably some friend

from dad's work.

Are you telling me i have to pay for

this entire funeral on my own?

Well, I can't draw money out of

thin air, Daniel.

Jesus, f***ing Christ!

Daniel. How's

everything going?

Fine, thanks revenant Davis.

We're just waiting for everyone to

arrive and then we can start.

Great, thank you.

Have you met my brother Robert?

The writer of course.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

I have read several of

your novels.

Really?

You must be very

proud of your brother.

Yeah, very proud.

Will you be reading the

eulogy today?

No, Daniel is

going to do it.

Great.

I'll just make sure i have

everything I need.

Listen, I think you

should do the eulogy.

...everyone's expecting you to do it,

I'll just make a mess of it anyways.

Don't be silly.

You do it.

You'll be fine.

All these can go

through now.

How's my little sister?

That's very sad.

He was a wonderful husband

wasn't he?

So tender, so devoted.

Can I get you a cop of

tea, Sandra?

Tea can do many things, Jane.

But it can't bring back

the dead.

"My father was an

exceptional man"...

"My father was an

exceptional man"...

Daniel, have you called yet

about the deposit?

No, I haven't.

Why don't you give me the number

and I can do it?

Jane, don't make a fuss

Do you see that guy standing by

the table?

Do you recognise him at all?

He's really staring at me.

Are you listening to me at all?

We have to put the deposit on the

flat, before it's too late.

I know.

Alright?

You'll break it!

Hurry up, we're late.

Oh God...

"My father was an

exceptional man"...

..."My father was an

exceptional man"...

Kate has grown up a bit

isn't she?

What?

Katey.

She was a little girl

when i left and now...

...she's fit.

I'm going to chat with her.

Yeah, why don't you?

"My father was an

exceptional man"...

Hello there.

Oh, hello.

I was really sorry to hear

about your father.

He always talked about you.

Said you were a good son.

Thank you.

Did he ever mention me?

I'm Peter.

Peter... I don't think so.

Were you friends with dad?

Nice to meet you and

thank you for coming.

Push the bloody thing...

I am damn it...

You're useless...

"My father was an

exceptional man"...

Daniel.

I think we should be calling

everyone in, now...

...to start the service.

Sure.

Really I'm only supposed to be

here until 3.

Sure. Do you mind if we wait

We shouldn't start without

him, if possible.

Sure.

Look.

Isn't it beautiful?

Martha. Can i have a word?

Excuse me.

Why?

What is it?

I have to tell you something.

I'm warning you in advance

you're not gonna like it.

Nice to see you.

Thank you for coming.

Daniel.

Uncle Victor.

Hello, Robert.

Uncle Victor.

How are you?

I'm...

...sad.

I understand.

So, how are things in

New York?

Great. Really good.

What's with this nonsense about you

not doing the eulogy?

That's right. Daniel is gonna

do the eulogy.

Well that's a dams shame.

I mean, I'm sure Daniel will

be fine but...

...after all you're the

writer in the family.

Will you just excuse me a second?

So...

...any new books coming out?

I'll get my things together.

Sure.

You alright?

Every single bloody person

wants Robert to do the eulogy.

He's my father too

isn't he?

I'm entitled to the

bloody eulogy.

Of course.

And it's gonna be the best bloody

eulogy anybody has ever heard.

Alright?

Looks like Robert won't

be doing the eulogy.

What did you just say?

I said the valium you gave Simon

wasn't actually a valium.

It's a hallucinegenic concoction.

You know, stuff lice acid, mescalin,

a little smaller though

This isn't funny Troy.

I'm not being funny.

Look at him.

You're absolutely stupid

How can you leave stuff like

that, on your flat?

I didn't think that

someone will take it.

Who goes to someone else's flat

and take anything?

it was a valium bottle.

F***, Troy.

What am i to do?

Should i tell him?

No! Don't do that.

You'll freak him out completely.

We should keep a

very close eye on him.

Make sure he doesn't get

out of control.

And don't let him spend too long

talking to one person.

Damn.

Hey dad.

How are you doing?

You're late.

Hi dad.

Hi Troy.

You're missing Univercity

today?

Nothing to worry.

I'll catch up.

I know.

I'm not worried about you.

I see you brought

your friend along.

His name is Simon.

Simon?

Of course i brought him,

he's my boyfriend.

Martha, so good to see you.

I'm so sorry aunt Sandra.

We'll miss ucle Edward terribly.

Yeah, he was a great guy.

Yes he was.

Simon, this is my...

Yeah absolutely...

So sorry about the death.

So sorry...

Thank you.

...everything.

What are you gonna do?

No idea.

I can't leave. Aunt Sandra will

never speak to me again.

Sh*t.

Hey Martha.

You look nice.

I'm dressed for a funeral.

Yeah, but still...

I heard about the engagement.

What's that about?

Who told you that?

I haven't even told my dad

Is that the guy you're

gonna marry?

You're gonna spend the rest of

your life with him?

Yup, that's him.

Simon?

Martha...

Come on!

Can you give me a hand Justin?

Hi...Daniel.

There's something i'd like to talk to

you about when you have a moment.

Great, do you mind

if we do it later?

Because my uncle Alfie

just came in.

Sure.

Thank you Justin.

Thank so much mate.

I hope it wasn't too

much hustle.

How are you uncle Alfie?

Terrible.

Ladies and gendlemen.

If you could all

kindly take youw seats...

We're about to begin the service.

Simon, please.

Move.

Don't start yet.

Don't start. Move.

Jesus Howard.

You stink.

Family and friends.

Maybe, because you left me to

deal with uncle Alfie on my own...

...not to mention you

taking all the credit.

Can you please be quiet?
