Other People Page #3

Will it be summer or winter?

Or like, will September 27th

just always suck...

For the rest of my life?

I don't know.

This all just feels like...

Something that happens

to other people.

Yeah, well, now you're other

people to other people.

All right, we have two burgers,

two fries, and two cokes.

It'll be about five minutes,

we'll bring it right out to you.

Hi. What can I get you?

I like your tattoo.

Oh, eh, it's like how we're all

created, you know?

Yeah.

Yeah.

What can I get you?

Um, yeah, I'll just do three

medium chocolate shakes...

With no whip cream... please?

What size?

Medium.

And would you like

whip cream on that?

No, no whip.

And what flavor?

Chocolate.

Chocolate, great.

Three medium no whip

chocolate shakes. What size?

Okie-doke...

I still feel like Alex and Becca

should be here if they want to.

No, I don't want them

to hear this.

But they might want to.

No.

No, I don't want them here. No.

Okay, um, obviously this is just

precautionary.

It's actually important that we

all have one of these.

Even you should have one,

I can help you fill it out...

Later if you want.

You look good!

You enjoying the gym?

Yeah.

Cool.

Okay, section one,

designation of agent...

I've designated myself as agent.

It just means that I would be

making health care decisions...

If mom can't.

Meaning he can kill me.

Yeah, yeah, as soon as I get my

info down here, I can kill her.

And, if it's okay with you...

You are designated first

alternate agent...

It just means you're my

second in command.

No, I don't want him in that

position.

Joanne, it's precautionary.

Absolutely not, no.

No, sorry, then put Nina down.

It's not gonna happen.

Mom, it's really fine.

It's not fine. You should not

have to be put in that position.

No, the answer is no.

Okay, if you want Nina,

we'll do Nina.

Uh, section 2.1,

end-of-life decisions.

"Donation of organs at death".

Do you want to be an

organ donor?

No, I don't want to...

Who's gonna want my organs?

My organs have tumors

all over them.

Your eyes, you could do your

eyes, pretty blue eyes.

All right, fine, my eyes.

Okay, I'll make sure about that.

Here's another fun topic,

um... cremation?

No, I'm not get... we talked

about this.

I know we talked about it,

I just want to...

I'm not gonna be burned up,

okay?

How would you like it if someone

set you on fire? No, thank you.

Well, it's not like they light

you, I mean, you're...

I don't want to be lit on fire.

I don't like that.

I don't like camping and I don't

like fires...

And I don't want to

be personally lit on fire, no.

I want to be frozen. Do they

have that as an option?

Frozen, can I be frozen?

You want to be frozen?

Check the frozen option.

Frozen like a pea?

Yeah, exactly, like a pea.

Um...

I want to be frozen and then

propped up on our couch...

In our living room, and I can

watch you to make sure...

You don't cheat on me

when I'm gone.

You're gonna...

You think it's funny,

but that's what I'm gonna do.

But you won't have eyes,

because you donated your eyes.

Mm, that's too bad, then I guess

I'll be buried.

Okay, just hear me out on this.

Burial, you know, it's...

What?

Think about it, I mean,

the coffin, a plot...

I mean, do we really want

to do all that?

What? Norman...

I mean, that's what they did...

No. I don't want to

talk about this anymore.

Olden times.

I don't care if it's olden...

I just think...

I like the olden times.

We could scatter your ashes

someplace meaningful.

No.

I think it could be beautiful.

Why are you trying to make me

mad, Norman, I keep saying no!

I'm not!

And you're pushing me.

Please stop, I told you,

I don't want to be cremated.

And I don't care if you think

it's a dumb idea!

I do not want to be cremated,

okay? I don't like it.

It makes me uncomfortable.

Okay.

I don't like it, I have a right

to say that I don't...

I don't f***ing want to be

f***ing cremated.

Okay, baby. Okay.

I'm sorry.

And I hate this stupid wig, I

look like a f***ing dead person.

You don't have to be cremated.

Okay, good. I don't want

to be cremated.

We could do a green burial?

It's this thing I saw on

"six feet under".

It's like a burial, but they...

There's no coffin, or plot,

it's totally natural.

They just put you in the

earth...

In like a pretty park or

something.

Good, I want to do that.

I want to do David's idea.

Okay, we'll do that.

Okay.

We'll go green.

I'll figure that out.

I don't wanna come to this

stupid place anymore...

Because that guy is literally

doing that the whole time.

Ridiculous.

I hate this.

I know.

I hate it! I told her

not to do the arm.

I told her that there's

no veins there.

I told her to try the hand.

But she still did the arm, and

she kept poking me.

Baby, we do not... listen...

I'm sorry.

We don't have to do this

anymore.

No, I don't want them

to see me quit.

Well, then, take this one...

Nobody's quitting.

Listen to me, this is what

we're going to do.

We're gonna do one more round...

No.

And we're gonna see

how you feel, okay?

That's what we're gonna do,

okay?

Well, why do they keep

getting bigger?

Why do they keep getting bigger?

I don't know.

I think we need to think

about the port.

No, I don't wanna look

like a robot.

You're not gonna look

like a robot, baby.

I don't want to look

like a robot!

You're not gonna be able

to see it.

The doctor said it would be

totally covered by your shirt.

No.

Honey...

I hate this.

I know.

Rachel ray yum, yum, and yum...

So now we're gonna take our

chicken...

With the cheese literally

coming out the sides.

I know!

Note to self, don't put your

kitchen towel...

Too close to the stove.

You know, your mother was

supposed to be born dead.

So she's still very, very lucky.

Oh, grandpa!

It's true. Ask her doctor!

I mean, he's dead, but if he

wasn't, you could.

He hung himself.

See, grandma was already

pregnant and somehow she got...

Pregnant again with your mother,

and your mother absorbed the

first child in the womb.

That's true.

The doctor thought your mom was

either gonna be born dead...

Or with the other baby's hands

comin' outta her face.

Grandpa!

It's true, Ruthie! God as my

witness. But she didn't.

No, she didn't. Her face was

fine. You've seen it.

Yes. I've seen it.

But she does got those

big bunions!

Those could be her sister!

Oh, god.

Where are the girls?

Um, I think Alex and her friends

went to Rebecca's work to eat...

And then they were going

to a concert or something.

Well, why didn't you go

with them?

I was just feelin' kind

of out of it.

Well, you still shoulda gone!

I'm gonna use the bathroom.

Okay.

He's a nice boy.

He's a great boy.

He looks good, too.

Oh, David...

Did you hear what happened

to Mary Elsenpeter?

Uh... No! I'm in the bathroom!

Her family lives in that red

cabin down on ten mile?

Well, she got her head

got torn off.
