Sex And Death 101
Who the hell's Roderick Blank?
[Narrating]
That would be me.
You ever see a guy
walking down the street
looking so happy and content
you wanna find the nearest brick
and turn his face
into hamburger meat?
I'm sorry. That April morning,
I was that guy.
I couldn't help it.
I had what I thought
at the time to be it all:
excellent job,
excellent soon-to-be wife,
excellent life.
If only I hadn't let Trixie
open that last e-mail.
What would you say if I broke out
into song right now?
You know how this good mood thing
And yet... you persist.
[laughs]
Stop.
Stop! Or we're never gonna
get through these e-mails.
- [beep]
- Oh. Here's a beauty from Lester.
"'Re:
Bachelor Party Stripper Crisis."Have I told you how grateful I am
that I'm a lesbian?
Delete! Delete!
My God.
Men like Lester are the reason
Death Nell was invented.
[Narrating]
I was a man above temptation.
Other woman had lost all appeal.
One in particular.
even though, technically,
she hadn't killed anyone.
Different hairstyles,
different outfits,
different spray-painted messages.
- [rasping]
- [puncturing]
The same comatose result.
[thud]
It was all we could
talk about that spring.
Five dates leading
to subversive seduction
and ending in endless slumber.
She was the worst thing
to happen to men,
and the best thing
to happen to media
in quite some time.
Needless to say, I had
picked the perfect moment
to be getting out of the game.
For every guy or gal,
there comes a time
when you say, its time.
Meet Fiona Wormwood,
my wife-to-be.
Stop staring, perv.
[Roderick narrating]
It's funny, looking back.
She was not the sweetest girl in the world.
Just, I-- I like-- okay.
But when it comes to
the person you're spending
the rest of your life with,
you want a bit of a sting.
There.
Your married friends
call you up for a barbecue.
-They tell you...
- It's time.
Your parents tell you...
- Son, it's time.
- [wheezing]
The whole damn universe tells you.
Don't make me the villain.
I told your sister
exactly how many pounds
she had to drop
to fit into that bridesmaid's dress.
Enough.
Let's talk about orchids. Orchids.
[Roderick narrating]
Yep. It was time.
[Trixie] Okay, if you can
tear yourself back to work...
Thank you.
I've downloaded the Big Mac.
I mean The Matador!
I don't know.
It looks like two all-beef patties,
special sauce,
lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions
on a sesame seed bun to me.
Boss.
Hey, that's very special sauce--
[Narrating]
As for the "excellent job" part of my life,
I like to tell reporters,
"It's always been
my dream to work
in a fast-food restaurant."
[chuckles]
I was being cute.
Our place was different.
You know...classy.
The plan was simple.
Swallow up the food names,
sleek the uniforms,
Starbuck the decor.
[chuckles]
Welcome to Swallows.
One Swallow Cornucopia to go!
Have a startling and unique day.
You, too.
Please, Trixie, tell me that was
the last goddamn e-mail.
- No, there's one more.
- [beep]
- Hold on.
- [computer chirping]
Doesn't say who it's from.
- [clicking mouse]
- [beep]
I don't know.
I'm getting, like, a virus vibe here.
Okay! It's your life.
Oh, that's weird.
It's a list of names.
Must be more wedding bullshit.
Well, they're all women's names.
Number one-- does the name
Patricia Francini ring a bell?
Patricia Francini?
Whoa, I haven't heard that name in...
Patty and I were co-captains
of my high school debate team,
her main claim
to fame being that,
in classic backseat drive-in fashion,
she took my virginity.
Clan of the Cave Bear
was the movie.
Drive-in's now a Staples.
What did you say this list was?
I didn't, unless Allison Bradbury
is the second girl
you ever had sex with.
- Whoa.
- No way.
Are you saying this is a list of
everyone you ever had sex with?
- Who's number three?
- [laughing]
Well, that would be Debbie Roberts.
No, wait. She was four.
Who was the spooky
drunk girl at the 4-H fair?
I had to drive her home,
'cause her brother was, uh--
Daisy Milos Ross?
- Yes! Crazy Daisy!
- [typing]
Milos-- what? Ross?
Who sent this?
Is this some...
pre-bachelor party trick,
of all the girls I've loved before?
But who would know
Damn, Roderick, this is
Well, thanks.
I don't know if I'd
call 29 women insane.
I guess some guys might be impressed
by the big two-nine,
but I racked up most of those numbers
as an undergrad.
Uh, Sparky?
There's more than 29 wild oats
on this list, a lot more.
Trix. T. Now, it's not like
that keeps track
of how many, uh--
[laughs]
All right. Fine.
Every guy is one
Stop! The ever-delightful
Fiona Wormwood,
soon to be Fiona Blank,
is indeed numero 29.
But, dude, the list keeps going.
Closing out at...
a hundred and one.
That's impossible.
Wait. April Fool's Day today, isn't it?
That was yesterday.
Today's the second.
Hmm...
One of the guys.
Zack, Chico, Lester--
no, Lester.
Especially Lester.
What better way to mess with me
than by sending me the names of
all the women I've had sex with?
Teasing me
with an obviously made-up roster.
female names to, uh--
Symbolize all the fine trim you'll be sacrificing
once you get married.
Exactly. Yes.
- Hmm.
- Thank you.
Mm-hmm.
You sure you don't have
a Carlotta Valdes shacked up somewhere?
I mean, according to the list,
she's next up.
- [clicking mouse]
- Carlotta Valdes.
Followed by Cynthia Rose.
Followed by--
Well, whoever did this
sure put in the hours.
Print it.
[speaking Japanese]
Sayonara!
- [door closes]
- [drops objects]
[Narrating]
So, now you know.
The last goddamn e-mail.
The list.
Every woman I ever,
followed by every woman I--
[Trixie on phone]
You're not still staring at that list.
- [beep]
- No comment.
Oh, did I remember to warn you
that you're gonna be kidnapped
from work for your bachelor party?
[door opens]
[screaming, whooping]
Whoa!
Hey, Roderick.
How are you doing?
[men chattering]
- Ready to party, Rod?
- Oh, no, no.
No one said anything about
this going down at my house.
- Lester.
- What?
This is my house.
Fiona gave us permission.
Oh, you're insane.
[chuckling]
- Interesting e-mail today.
- Mmm!
Worry not.
I found a new stripper.
Oh, no. Not the stripper crisis.
The, uh, kooky one. The list.
- What list?
- The list of--
- What are you talking about?
- [doorbell]
- Names.
- Well, our fair lady's here, gentlemen!
Turn that up!
Rule six.
No ham radio operating.
- Get it? Breasts?
- [Men] Aww...
No ham radio operating.
Rule seven.
No checking the oil.
- [Man] Checking the oil?
- Get it?
Vagina!
No checking the oil.
- And I loved the touch of adding to the list
- Rule eight...
the names of women
I've yet to have sex with.
- No cotton candy.
- What do you mean, man? What list?
