- He knows you're here.

Knows I'm here.

- They found out about it already.

- Please don't panic.

- How is he, doc?

- He's dead.

Oh, my God!

- Can you tell what caused it?

- Not without an autopsy.

Come into my office. I'm fairly certain

it was some kind of poison.

Poison?

It's okay. It's okay. Easy, now.

Poison. Poison. It's all over.

Did you hear? An autopsy.

I might as well just give them

the rat poison.

- You want someone to see it?

- Who cares? I'm finished.

- I'm a murderer.

- No, you're not.

I'm a murderess. My poor kids.

- You're nothing until proven guilty.

- They'll find the poison in the autopsy.

I'm gonna get rid of the poison.

I'll get rid of the body!

Violet, it's not murder.

It was an accident.

Accident? She thought about doing it

last night. We all thought about it.

- She didn't do it on purpose.

- Maybe unconsciously I did.

- I'm going to the pen.

- We better get her a lawyer.

- I'll be looked up for life.

- Where's the phone?

- Over there.

- Have change?

- Just sit here.

- I'm gonna lose my job.

- Calm down.

- I'm no fool. I've killed the boss!

You think they're not gonna fire me?

Now, just sit here.

We'll be right back.

This the guy for the autopsy?

The doctor would like to see you.

Right this way.

Excuse me. Could you tell me

where the coffee shop is?

- What?

- The coffee shop.

The coffee shop?

I'm new here. I don't drink coffee.

I'm new too. Where do you work?

- Downstairs.

- The morgue.

- That's right.

- He's...

- Yes, he is.

- How did he...?

Coffee. Too much coffee.

I'm just taking him out for some air.

I mean, some fresh air for me.

He's just along for the ride.

You're a doctor.

I didn't see your badge. Sorry.

I'm a doctor. So why the hell

am I talking to you? Piss off.

How's Violet?

Honey, I think Violet has flipped out.

Violet!

- What are you doing?

- Get in! There's no time for talking!

Violet, slow down!

- Why are you driving so fast?

- They can't do an autopsy with no body.

- She has just absolutely flipped.

- Where is the body?

The trunk. We can chain cement blocks

to his feet and pitch him off the pier.

- No one will ever know.

- You're crazy! They always find it!

Crazy, am I?

They never found Jimmy Hoffa.

- Will you just slow down?

- Let's not panic. Let's not panic.

There's a restaurant.

Let's stop for a while.

A restaurant?

How can you think of food now?

- I'm not thinking of food!

- I'm not hungry.

Violet, we're not criminals.

It was an accident.

Well, we're criminals now. We've just

stolen a corpse. That sounds criminal.

We'll take it back.

We'll just take it back.

We'll get caught if we go back now.

Stop arguing and think about where we

can lay our hands on some cement.

Look out!

Don't panic! Don't panic!

- What happened?

- She panicked.

Nobody's hurt. It's a little accident.

We'll be out of here in no time.

- The front fender is hitting the tire.

- Good lord, get out. Let's look at it.

- Not bad. We need to pull the fender out.

- Come on. Give me a hand.

Oh, God.

Wait.

We need a crowbar or something.

- There's a tire iron in the trunk.

- I'll get it.

Judy, turn the blinkers off.

Judy, would you

come back here for a second?

- What?

- Look.

- Who's that?

- I don't know.

- Where's Hart?

- I don't know.

Oh, my God, you mean she...?

Oh, my God!

Violet, honey, would you come

over here for a second?

What's the matter with you two?

We have got to... Who's that?

I don't know.

You don't know?

What happened to Hart's body?

It's not here.

You think it got up and walked away?

- But I put it...

- Violet, how could you? How could you?

I guess I made a mistake.

You steal the wrong body, and all you

can say is, "I made a mistake"?

- It could happen to anyone.

- This is awful.

- It's so improper. It's disrespectful.

- He's dead. He doesn't mind.

Look, don't get excited.

We'll just take it back.

- What?

- No harm's done. Let's take it back.

We just waltz in and say,

"We're sorry, we made a mistake."

- Maybe we'll get Hart's body in return.

- No need to get sarcastic.

- You took it, you take it back!

- Now, stop it. We're in this together.

We have to be very calm.

We'll fix the fender, then we'll figure

out a plan to drop off the body.

Then we're gonna sit down and calmly

decide what we're gonna do next.

Will you two shut up?

It's not a bad plan. It might work.

If we can just find a wheelchair...

I saw a couple outside the

emergency entrance.

- I think that's a good idea.

- I wish we knew what happened to Hart.

We're gonna find out soon enough.

What's that?

It's a siren.

- A policeman!

- He wants us to pull over.

- Do I make a break for it?

- I don't know, but I've got my gun.

Put that away! Are you crazy?

Oh, my God! Don't panic. Don't panic.

- What does he want?

- I don't know, but pull over.

- Be ready for anything.

- Stay calm. Listen to him. Don't panic.

- But what if he wants...?

- For chrissake, pull over! Pull over!

Evening, ladies. May I see

your license and registration?

- Why? I wasn't speeding.

- Your taillight is blinking.

- It is?

- Are your signals on?

- No.

- There must be a short in the trunk.

A short in the trunk?

We've got a short in the trunk.

Probably a defective wire.

Want to take a look?

- Do we want to take a look?

- No. We can't. We don't have time.

- We're on an emergency.

- That's right. She's a doctor.

You're a doctor?

- You think I'm a beautician?

- I didn't see the badge. What's wrong?

I'm taking this woman to the hospital,

and she's very sick.

- Which one of you is sick?

- I am. She is.

They're both sick.

What is that you're hiding there?

- This?

- Yes.

- It's rat poison.

- She ate it.

- What?

- She ate the rat poison.

- That's why they're sick.

- You ate rat poison?

- I thought it was Skinny and Sweet.

- It looks just like it...

...except for the skull and crossbones.

Can we go now, officer?

I'm not feeling well.

She's not well. I've got a dying woman,

and you want to look in the trunk?

- I'm sorry, doctor.

- If we don't make it, you're responsible.

- Don't worry, I'll give you an escort.

- An escort?

- He's going to give us an escort.

- Lord.

- Follow me.

- Forget it, Mao, we can't wait!

- How'd it go?

- I couldn't find out about Hart.

- They either don't know or won't tell us.

- What are we gonna do?

Nothing. We're gonna wait

until they come to us.

Go to the office in the morning

and pretend like nothing has happened.

- Well, what about the other matter?

- Don't worry about it.

It's been taken care of.

Hey, Vera. We got another

stiff in the john.

Good morning.

Good morning, Violet.

Doralee, no calls this morning.

I don't wanna be disturbed at all.

All that running around was useless.

Hart had a little bump on his head.

I did put the poison

in the coffee. I know it.

- Well, he absolutely did not drink it.

- I mean, how could we be so stupid?

- Did anybody look under the stalls?
