However, we must,Of course,

Transmit the remainsTo you in a receptacle.

It is our most modestlypriced receptacle.

They range up to 3,000.

Can't we justrent it from you?

We're scatteringthe f***ing ashes!

Look, just becausewe're bereaved,

Doesn'tmake us saps!

Sir, please,lower your voices.

Man, don't you have,you know,

Something else we couldput him in, you know?

That is our most modestlypriced receptacle.

God damn it!

Is there a Ralphsaround here?

Donny wasa good bowler

And a good man.

He was one of us.

He was a man who lovedthe outdoors and bowling.

And as a surfer,he explored the beaches

of Southern California,

from La Jollato Leo Carrillo

and up to Pismo.

He died...as somany men of his generation,

Before his time.

In your wisdom, Lord,you took him.

As you took so many bright,flowering young men

at Khe Sanh, at Lan Doc,

and Hill 364.

These young mengave their lives.

So did Donny.

Donny who loved bowling.

And so, TheodoreDonald Karabatsos,

in accordance withwhat we think

your dying wishesmight well have been,

We commit your finalmortal remains

To the bosomof the pacific ocean,

which you loved so well.

Good night, sweet prince.

Oh, sh*t, Dude,I'm sorry.

for The Dude and Walter.

And it wasa pretty good story,

Don't you think?

Made me laughto beat the band.

Parts, anyway.

I didn't likeseeing Donny go.
