- Death.

Downloaded from YTS.MX

We've describe it in a number of ways

and none too appealing.

The black death, the great abyss, the empty void.

Official YIFY movies site: YTS.MX

Oh and, oh yes, that too.

(joyful piano music)

Death is not something that's foreign or evil

or that thing that happens to the other guy.

It is, part of who we are.

A part of life.

And that we should not look at life and death

as occupying the opposite ends of a spectrum

on a linear path of existence.

But rather we should look at existence

as a never ending circle.

Of which life and death are but parts of the whole.

Indeed, parts of the same circle.

We in Western culture view life as quite linear.

There's a beginning, a middle and an end.

While this serves to efficiently

organize our view of existence.

It's a rather limited perspective, don't you think?

For instances what is death were to the end of life,

but rather an integral part of who we are.

Who we are to become.

The Hindus believe that at the very moment of birth,

the very moment we're born, we begin to die.

(audience groans)

What?

What's wrong?

I mean, aren't we all going to die?

(audience chuckles)

- Who wants to be reminded everyday about,

about, - About what?

- About death.

(audience chuckles)

- See what she just did?

She had a hard time even getting the word out, yeah.

Now the reason you had such a hard time

expressing yourself and the reason

all of us are reluctant to talk about death

is that we're conditioned to think of death

as, as something evil.

Well what if we could view it differently?

What if, we had this amazing paradigm shift

and looked at death, not apart from life,

but a part of life.

Did you hear the difference?

You see whether we choose to believe them or not,

the Hindus have a very good point

about death beginning at birth.

Because philosophically if we're all predestined to die,

then at what point do we actually start to die?

- [Bereaved Woman] Yeah. My mother was something special.

She was the queen of the see.

- Yes, I remember.

I'm so sorry.

- [Bereaved woman] That's what she was.

Maybe you can put that queen at sea.

- Yeah, sure.

Anyway about the funeral, obituary.

It will list the basic information about the deceased

and the funeral.

But if you would like to provide more information,

you can pay our personalized (weeps).

- Ah.

What happened now?

- You remember Dorothy Kang?

- She and her husband Ledward used to have

their surf mate in Waikiki.

He used to win all the tandem surfing contests

when they were younger.

She died.

- Marily.

- She's waiting for you.

(somber piano music)

- Its just has been 27 years.

The Captain says he's received orders

and unless there is any new developments

in the case. (door creaks)

- The doctor will be with you in a minute.

(door clicks)

- Maybe when you have children,

you can tell them about me.

- You tell them yourself.

Remember what Dr Katsner said, focus Anita,

where is your place?

(Anita breathes heavily)

(Anita sings in foreign language)

- Hey hey hey!

- Whoa, they sell that at the swap meet?

- Shut up Delbert.

Let me see that Denis.

Wow.

- Eh, what are you doing?

- I'm stealing your engagement ring,

what does it look like? - Wow.

- Hey Gerald and Bob, come take a look at this

- (sighs) You see, that's why

I didn't want to show you folks.

- Oh Let the girls have their fun.

So there's these two cannibals, eating a clown.

Yeah, so this one cannibal says to the other,

"Hey, does this taste funny to you?"

(both laughs)

(water falls)

- I don't know what to do Dr. Katsner

He's just, talking, funny.

- Take a whirl.

Grief is a highly personal thing.

All you can do is support him the best way you ca...

- I'm going through grief.

He's not the only one.

Me and my brothers, we lost our mother.

And then yesterday he calls us all together and tells us

to always stay together and love each other.

But, what does that mean?

(upbeat classical music)

- Tell Molaygus he'd just as soon ask for the moon.

You hear me!

What? - You got to go

- Wait, hang on.

- It's almost 10 and you suppose to be taking off already,

from to day on.

That's why you have deputies.

- Look I got to deal with this.

Get someone to pick up my brother..

No!

That is not gonna happen

(people chatting) (trolley rattling)

- Yeah, your brother's office called.

Said he was working on this case.

Tsunoda, the prosecutor right?

- You know Cohuna Street, in the valley?

- [Taxi Driver] Yeah.

- Drive there.

(door creaks)

(ominous piano music)

(car engine growls)

(birds chirp)

- Put your hands together and please welcome

Mr. Jarred Mina.

(crowd cheers)

(ECG machine beeps) (ominous piano music)

- Then God comes by and pulls him aside, and goes,

"What's wrong, what's the matter?"

And the priest says, "It's the letter R."

(crowd laughs) "The word was supposed to be celebrate, ah!"

(audience clap)

And the pearly gates swing open,

and the first word they hear God says is, "Aloha!"

Huh?

(Jared laughing) (ECG beeping)

- You suck!

(man in bed coughs)

- [Jared] Yeah.

That may be.

But you going die

(both laughs)

(man in bed coughs heavily)

- Thank you!

It means the world to Mr. Keeler.

- So, we're still on right?

- Yeah, sure.

- Okay.

So, I'll pick you up about seven?

- Sounds Great - All right

- Love you.

- Yeah, same here.

I'll see you.

Bye.

(phone clangs)

- Anyway, Punch Bowl said they have openings from Tuesday on

but the earliest we can get Kangai is Friday.

- Friday?

- Yeah, I got this big case coming up.

Suppose to start on Thursday.

- I'm supposed to be in San Diego.

- Well excuse ya boys, your father is dead.

But don't let that interfere with your schedules.

Maybe just block them all for a power lunch.

- Shut up.

- We can just stand him up in the corner.

He'll be pretty stiff by then.

- Shut up.

- Meg, did you call any place else?

- No, what am I?

The designated slave.

- That's it, I'm going home.

- [Meg] Yeah, yeah you do that. - Al?

- When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

- Shut your mouth!

- [Mike] Enough!

Go.

We'll talk outside.

- But I heard they have a flower girl that comes around?

- [Traci] No.

- No, dad get the roses ahead of time.

- You think so?

- [Woman] Yes. - Yeah dad,

I mean you never know, the girl might not show up

or by the time she gets around to your table,

- She might just have the drags left.

- Yeah, we'll pick up the roses dad.

- Yeah, you know go to Monarch history.

- Eh, what would you know about getting flowers for a girl?

- What? Look, I know okay.

(everyone murmurs)

I'm not this heathen that you guys thing I am, all right.

I get Terry some flowers every now and then.

(sisters moan sarcastically)

- [Erin] Not even.

You do not go all the way to Manarch History

just to pick up flowers for her.

- [Daniel] I do!

- Daniel! You're saying you fight China Town traffic

just to get Terry flowers?

- When I get some poor cash month,

I'll be at the corner store,

(all chuckle) but that's it.

I'm already there, okay. (family laughs)

(fireworks pop)

(calm music)

- Are you ready?

- Yeah.

You're okay with this right?

- Oh yeah, I got plenty already.

- (sighs) You know what I mean.

- Yes.

Its about time.

- What about Daniel, is it okay with him?

I mean, he always felt like I didn't go after mom.

- Dad it's been 15 years.

(chuckles) it's possible we've all grown up.

We all love Nicole.

And you know what the best part is?

You love her.

Even though you don't say it in front of people.

(both chuckle) (bag ruffles)

- [Mike] So you mean nobody monitors whether

she takes her meds everyday?

- What do you want me to do, force it down her throat?

Half the time she's raving, the other half

she's doing her Sudoku.

- Isn't there some place she can go,

someone she could talk to?

- Where? If you know anybody she's probably been there already.

- What about the house?

She could occupy herself cleaning the house.

- Give her time, she's only been living here five years.

- You know. - Hey!

Not to dissuade your familial concern,

but you haven't been around, okay?

So don't assume that what you're thinking

has never been thought of before.

I mean, I'm the attorney Mike and I'm telling you

you've got no case.

- I stopped by the warehouse.

Al, do you remember a long time ago,

there was this girl, 12, 13 something like that.

She was raped and murdered over in the Windward side.

- Yeah, Melissa Turner, why?

- On the flight over these people behind me

were talking about it.

- [Al] Local people?

- Don't think so.

At least the guy, he was a dentist.

Was talking to this woman.

He said, he had this patient who was a cop

who lived in Riverside.

He said this Hawaii woman goes up every year

to check on the progress in finding her daughter's killer.

Said it's been going on for 22 years.

- Its an unsolved case.

They think they know who did it.

The guy was stationed here in the military,

lives in the mainland now.

But no one will account for it.

- So how did daddy go?

- They said it was fast.

- Did he say anything?

- Nah. He never spoke another word after the stroke.

Why?

You were expecting some great message?

- No, I gave up on that a long time ago.

I still remember when I broke my arm.

(Al chuckles) - Oh shit.

What?

The time you broke your arm and he made you

stay in the tournament?

You're never gonna live that down.

- He never made you stay in that tournament

with a broken arm?

- You won right?

- Fuck is that!

I win so that makes it right?

- Yeah, so that's life.

Daddy didn't give a damn about us, he only cared about Meg.

Hell of a lot of good that did.

- Its just that he never let her go out on her own,

after what happened to...

- He never let him work anywhere else

except with him in the business.

I think every guy she ever went out with, daddy chased away.

- She talk to you about dad?

- Talk.

We don't talk about anything.

Either she's yelling or I'm yelling.

(soft piano music)

- Why do we pray?

For healing our illness, protecting our loved ones

or the joy of life.

For the avoidance of death.

We pray for any number of things.

But why?

- Because we believe in God.

I mean isn't that basically what we admit to

when we turn to another power greater than our own.

You know its a funny thing, we all pray

whether we admit it or not.

But we all won't admit to believing in a God.

So if you don't believe in God or a God,

I mean who in the hell are you praying to?

(audience chuckles) No, I mean it.

You know what I'm saying?

- What if, our dreams were not merely

imaginary visions of our unconscious minds

but rather an extension of our souls into another realm.

Interesting concept.

Whether you believe that praying or dreaming

has any relevance in our world, really doesn't matter

now does it?

It's the possibility of their irrelevance

that is the important thing.

- She was the most beautiful woman.(chuckles)

I used to say more beautiful than Marilyn Monroe.

(all chuckle)

- Dad your food's getting cold.

I think you should really eat.

- Hey, did I ever tell you kids,

how beautiful your mother was?

- We know dad, she was real pretty.

- Pretty?

She was the most beautiful.

Hear that baby, you were the most beautiful

of all the honey's on the beach.

I used to tell you that all the time.

No matter how many people out there,

you were the most beautiful.

- Hello?

Would you like to join us.

- That's okay.

- Well, what did your father do?

- He owned a construction company.

- Tsunado Construction, yes.

So that was your father?

- Yes. And he was also in the 442.

- Oh so you plan to have a military burial?

- Yes, right after.

- Now you're no longer with the company right?

Because now you're... - I'm with

the prosecutor's office.

(low clangs) well, anyway Father what we... - [Mike] Excuse

my stupid brother here, it's Reverend Al.

- Just call me Kats.

- So, but anyway my father was, how do you say it,

he wasn't very religious.

I mean he didn't have any religious affiliations,

you know what I mean?

So we thought we'd take him to Kondai

and have a Buddhist service.

- But the window of availability is tight.

- So we were thinking, why do we have to go to Kondai?

- Well that's a good question.

Where did the family go before?

- Kondai. - Kondai.

But you know, why?

- Well are you Buddhists?

- No. - No.

So we were thinking, why can't we have

the service some place else.

You know like, here.

- Well you can.

- So that's good.

Well the fact that we're not part of this church

doesn't stop us?

I mean, it doesn't prevent us from having the service here?

- No, not really.

But it would be nice if you could attend

Sunday service and meet the congregation afterwards.

You know after the bereavement period

why don't you, come some Sundays?

- Well that's not a problem,

but I have to go back, I'm not from here that's why.

But Al here will represent the family.

- Why don't you just make them join your church?

They need help from God.

- [Al] Ignore her.

(soft serene music)

- [Harold] Roy Akaki is dead?

Since when?

- [Max] Since he died.

- [Harold] Oh man, he was a good guy.

- They are all good guys when they're dead.

- So how did he go?

- Ah, he was sick for a long time.

He had, what is that, you know,

that shortness of breathing?

- Emphysema?

- Yeah, he knew he didn't have much time.

He was working with, you know, doctor death,

that guy James Katsner.

- Roy Akaki is dead.

Hard to believe.

- Trust me, he's dead.

Dead as a door nail, dead like Elvis,

stick a fork in him, he is done.

Dead.

Thank you for having me.

(sighs) You guys golf here often?

- I guess so, if you call every day often.

(all laugh)

- Me, Max and Jerry, twice a day.

- Jerry, he uh, doesn't say much does he?

- Nothing personal.

Jerry doesn't say much to anybody.

- That's good to know cause I was starting

to think it was me. (Max chuckles)

- No, no.

- You ask Jerry to tell you his name, he just smiles.

- You ask him the time, he'll tell you,

- Yeah, funny.

He'll tell you the time, but that's just about it.

- Oh yeah? (Max chuckles)

- Yeah, watch.

Jerry what time is it?

Ah ha you bugger!

- He knows we're talking about him that's why Max.

- I say what time is it?

- 2.47.

(men laugh)

- I was going to get him something

but it seems he's full of what he's got there.

Hey what is that he eating anyway?

- Mochi.

- Mochi?

- Yeah, it's a sweet rice cake with Adzuki beans inside.

Tastes good.

- It looks like it tastes good.

He's eaten half a pound of it so far.

(all chuckle except Jerry)

- And you ain’t getting any either.

- No?

- Yeah, Jerry is very protective about his Mochi.

In fact in all these years, I don't think Max and I

ever got any, huh Max?

- Fort Knocks got nothing on him.

(all laugh except Jerry)

- So, Tom where you from?

- Riverside California.

I'm here on a dental conference.

I'm gonna catch a red eye back tonight.

- Oh, you a dentist?

- Yeah.

We had a conference for about two days.

I don't know, mostly boring stuff.

I decided to skip off on the break out sessions

and do golfing instead.

- There you go.

- You know I've never missed any portion

of a conference before.

- That's good.

- Is that right? - Oh yeah, think I felt a move, that's a good one

in the grave, already.

You only live so long, and when you go,

you won't be thinking about the conference you didn't go to.

- You know something you're right.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

- You married?

Kids?

- (sighs) No kids, was married.

She's getting me good, I mean real good.

Talking to my attorney today.

California is a community property state,

and I ain’t got no prenup.

We've been married four years.

Four years!

And she's getting half my assets.

- (scoffs) That's all fucked up.

- No you right.

It is isn't it.

- Fuck that! (men laugh except Jerry)

He's all fucked up.

- Jerry, what do you think about Tom?

He's ex-wife taking him to the cleaners.

(Tom laughs) Tom,

Jerry said you are all fucked up!

(men laugh except Jerry)

- [Harold] Playing down wind today, that's good.

- [Tom] Yes it is.

- Every time this hole!

- Max always has a hard time with this hole.

This morning he had a six.

About five years ago, he was four under.

Four under, can you imagine!

But he hit two in the lake and the third shot

went to the sand on the left.

You come out with an 11.

- Oh shit. - Enough of that,

he would have shot the best round of his life.

He didn't talk for a week.

I thought we had a second Jerry.

(Tom laughs)

- Ah, you guys go up. I'll go last.

- It says 185, but couldn't be playing that long.

More like, 130, 140.

- Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

Maybe a nice, soft (whoosh)

- [Harold] Oh nice shot. (Max groans)

- [Tom] Aww thank you.

(whoosh)

- Gotta get legs baby, gotta get legs.

Awesome shit Jerry, good shot!

(whoosh)

(birds chirp)

- [Max] Yeah some bushes.

- Hopefully it didn't go that after.

- Every time I play this whole I blow up.

- Don't don't just go... - I don't know why.

- Just focus.

Nice, easy, swing.

(whoosh)

- [Tom] All right, oh, wait, wait, wait.

Like it slowed up there in the end,

you're probably safe.

(soft clatter)

(whoosh)

- [Tom] Oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

(men exclaim and laugh)

- Oh!

Awesome shot, way to go!

(men cheer)

- [Tom] Oh my god!

- Ah, I forgot my clubs.

(soft serene guitar music)

- Help!

Tom!

- Come on Max.

Come on! Come on Max!

Wake up!

(Tom pants)

Come on buddy.

Come on!

Max!

Max!

- She comes over to me and she says,

hey you look like you just got off the plane from Alaska

or something. (chuckles)

And I look up and go huh? (chuckles)

And Anita puts her arm next to my arm,

and she says, your first lesson is,

never ever wear a short sleeved white shirt

if your skin is more white than the shirt.

(both laugh)

I don't know, I guess we just hit it off

from the start Anita and me.

She saved me.

She really saved me you know.

And I couldn't save her.

She was my biggest fan, listened to me all the time.

It's just that I, I just feel,

that she might still be listening you know.

- I'll tell the intern, he can start tomorrow.

I'll see you in the morning.

(somber piano music)

(ambulance rumbles)

- They gonna tell Max's family.

Look, I am very sorry.

Maximum was a, he was a good man.

- Yeah, he was shooting one of his best rounds too.

- For whatever it's worth, I think Max

would have wanted to go out the way he did.

Look guys, I'm sorry, I got to get going.

(Tom sighs)

Take care of yourself Harold.

You too Jerry.

Take care okay?

Again I am sorry.

(birds chirp)

(soft piano music)

- I feel like I'm a psychologist.

This girl Marily, she works with me,

she gets so emotional when she takes calls

for the obituaries.

- Fun job?

Has she always been that way?

- Actually, no.

She used to be fine.

But about five years ago, she took a call from this woman

who put in an obituary for her daughter

who died years ago.

That was okay.

Until she took the same call again the following year.

Same obituary.

Then she found out that this lady

has been doing this for over 20 years.

I mean, we all knew that.

But when Marily found out, she got all,

I don't know, it affected her.

Now she takes it way too personal.

- Yeah.

Sometimes we become the work we do.

- Hmm.

- Hey.

Lets take her to see my friend Jared Mina's show.

- The comedian, that's your friend?

- Yeah.

But here's the thing, Jareds comedy angle,

is death.

Yeah. He says that because we all die,

what else can we do but laugh about it.

(door knocks)

- Make it five.

- That's exactly what you will be saying to the judge.

- Look I'm sorry... - Where the hell

were you today?

- Something came up.

- I'll tell you what's coming up, your evaluation.

When they ask, shouldn't he have completed 300 hours

by now, what am I gonna say when it's only 250?

- Like, can I explain please?

- I wish you would.

- I signed on to do a gig for old folks.

- I'm listening.

- But some of these people are on their last legs.

I wasn't expecting that.

I mean they got me doing my routine

for rooms where people can't get out of their beds.

- It's an old folks home.

It's old people, they can't get around.

- Yeah, but Phil, some of these folks are dying.

- Old folks die, they don't live forever.

And the deal was, whoever wants you, you do.

- I didn't sign on for that.

- Oh that's right, you didn't sign on.

You were drafted.

(door knock) - Jared?

Places.

(door creaks)

- I'm gonna be there next time.

And you better show.

(door creaks)

- To which God replied I sent you a car,

a raft, a power boat and a helicopter,

(audience laughs) I mean, what the fuck else

do you want from me?

Thank you. (audience claps and cheers)

(Jared laughs)

(soft romantic piano music)

(people murmur)

- Well, I'm just gonna leave this right here for a while.

Let you guys, soak up the ambience.

And the wine.

And I'll be back in a minute to take your orders.

- Thank you.

Got something for you.

- What are you doing?

- Hello, this is from a very special admirer.

And of course, I'm not allowed to divulge who it is

but I understand he's very handsome.

- Well I get to write the script so I figured why not.

(both chuckle) - And he's very dependable,

and he is just absolutely crazy about you.

- Thank you.

- Shall I put them in a vase for you ma'am?

- Yes, thank you.

You are so sweet.

(Dennis clears throat)

- Nicole, I've been planning this night for weeks.

Erin, Traci, and even Daniel if you can imagine that,

they all did something to help.

But it came down to, too much planning, you know.

I was worrying about this and that.

I, oh heck.

(sighs) I wanted this night to be special.

The girls said, order some champagne

and put it in her glass, you know.

But, I didn't want to assume anything.

Sometimes I wonder you know, how I ever lucked out.

Nicole, before meeting you, I literally thought

I would never be truly happy again.

But I am happy, because of you.

I never been good at this.

(chuckles) Who am I kidding, this is only the second time

I've ever done this.

But however it turns out, trust that

I'll always be with you.

I'll support you in all that you do.

And until the day I die, I will love you.

Marry me Nicole.

- So the guy says why?

And the clerk turns to him and says,

"Because this is a hardware store."

(all chuckle)

That's my best one!

So Jared, Jared what, good enough to open for you?

- Maybe.

- Oh yeah, I got one more.

- I have to get going.

- What so soon?

- Yeah, I have to get up early in the morning.

- Me too.

- What's up Marily, what you got something against julep?

- I'm sorry, I guess I'm not that much company.

I'll see you tomorrow Janice.

- Marily!

- Hey guys, you know what, I got to got too so,

Del I'll catch up later yeah?

And Janice, nice meeting you.

- Hey!

How you getting home?

(door clinks)

- Marily!

Hey Marily (pants).

I'm sorry about that, I guess I can get

pretty stifling back there.

- Oh no, it's me.

I guess I'm not much company.

- No, it's not you. (chuckles)

Delbert is a protege of the thief of bad gag.

(both chuckle)

- It's funny.

- What is?

- You take a morbid subject, death,

and you get people to laugh about it.

I have to admit at first I was quite taken aback but,

I think it's really amazing.

- You do, do you?

- I do.

- Huh.

(soft romantic piano music)

(Jared giggles)

- This is my car (giggles).

- Nice car.

So I guess, this is the part of the night

when none of us comes up with a creative way

to take this to the next level.

- I guess so.

- Okay then.

Here goes.

Can I get a ride home?

(both giggle) - What?

- Because I came here with Delbert

and I do not wanna go back there

and listen to another one of his jokes. (chuckles)

God, hey I promise this time if you offer me a ride,

I'll take it.

(Marily giggles)

- Okay.

(footsteps clank softly)

- I don't want you to wait for me Dennis.

You need to move on.

(door rumbles) Dennis.

(car beeps)

Dennis.

Dennis!

(melancholic piano music)

(soft thud)

- No, I'm not letting you go Nicole.

- No, Dennis. - Yes!

- No. - Goddammit Nicole,

listen to me! I don't give a goddamn what some doctor

in a white coat says about you, you hear!

I won't have it!

We're going to get married.

I'm not going to let the rest of the world know,

all about it and then tell them

that I'm gonna let you deal with this, nothing, alone.

You hear?

And that's exactly what it is, nothing.

Now, we're going to get married.

And we're going to fight this thing together.

And we're gonna beat it.

I love you Nicole.

I will never leave you.

(Nicole sniffles)

- I love you too Dennis.

(hopeful music)

(phone rings)

- Woman, I tell you never to call me at work

so you call my cell, while I'm at work.

- Did you see the photo I sent you?

- What photo?

- [Tyra] Jack!

- What? - [Tyra] You didn't see the email?

- I didn't have time.

I've been in meetings the whole morning.

This is the first time I've been at my desk.

Okay I got it.

- [Tyra] What do you think?

- Well, I can see Brandon's earring

and Shannon's got way too much make up.

- Stop being so critical.

- Well look, you got my seal of approval.

- Okay.

This is what we use for our Christmas cards.

- Yep. Okay listen I gotta go.

Okay, see ya.

- So tell me, what's this important meeting

you have with Mr Budine that's taking up

your whole afternoon?

- Honestly I don't know.

He said clear my calendar.

What do you think it means?

- I don't know Kimura.

Can you take early retirement at 49?

I'm going, I'm going.

(crowd claps and cheers)

- Thank you.

- Hi. - [Woman In Audience] Hi.

- Hi, how's it going?

- [Man] To make a long story short,

he's our older brother Milton.

He's my best friend.

We graduated from law school together.

Milt about 14 years ago.

He's dying wish was to look out the forest,

failure of a kid brother.

- [Interviewer] Are you his manager?

- Part time manager, part time lawyer,

part time therapist, full time pain in his ass.

- Okay.

So, tell me about him?

- More than a fan huh

- (giggles) I guess so.

- Well Jared is living his calling.

He's a born comedian, class clown,

the guy everybody wanted to gravitate to at the parties.

Only he had this pension for drugs and alcohol.

But once, when he was sober, he had a moment of clarity.

I convinced him that maybe he could use his talent

for a good purpose.

His shows were a hit from the beginning.

Of course, Jared still had his extracurricular activities.

After I don't know, his third DUI,

the judge not only continued to suspend his license

but told him that two years in jail

would help clear his system.

I was able to come up with a more lenient resolution.

I had attended some counseling sessions with James Katsner.

Anyway, I told Kats that maybe Jared

could entertain some of his clients

and he told me a number of them came from here.

Well I told it to the judge, he liked the idea.

So instead of giving Jared jail time,

he gave him 400 community service hours.

Still more than a fan?

- Yeah.

(door bell rings)

- I'll get it.

Here.

(chuckles) Walter I swear, I don't know

where your mind is tonight.

I mean you've been looking at me

as if you've never seen me.

- Walter!

Walter!

- Hello, Jack, hey.

Thanks for coming.

- Hey. - How you doing?

- I'm doing fine, doing fine Walter.

- So how are the kids?

How's Tyra?

- Same as they were yesterday Walter.

- (chuckles) I'm sorry.

- No, no, no, don't apologize.

Walter, I hope this comes out right.

But, you okay?

- Okay?

Yeah, why?

- Well it's just that, I don't know,

you just seem a little more preoccupied than usual.

I don't know. - I'm sorry I'm worrying you.

- No, no, don't apologize I say.

But, yeah, I'm kinda worried Walter.

- I'm thinking it's time to move on.

- Oh Walter you can't do that.

I mean you're coming into the best years of your life.

The bank is you.

There's no one out there that can take your place.

Plus you'd be miserable, trust me.

If some outside banker came in and ran the place,

you'd be, no, you wouldn't want that.

- Yeah that's right, I wouldn't want that.

- There you go Walter.

Look whatever you're going through,

you'll get through it.

- We're looking to promote from within Jack.

I'm thinking we'll pass the torch to you.

- Are you serious?

- Yeah.

- Walter.

- Well?

- Well! (chuckles)

I mean yes!

Oh my god, Walter!

- Oh nice shoes.

- What's up with the shoes, Rony.

I know, I know, I'm sorry but I promise

I'll make up the hours later.

- Mr Tulip wait!

- I just have two payments,

(sad piano music)

- I'm sorry, I should have called you.

- When?

- Last night.

He was really happy these last few weeks.

You made him happy.

- These are Cuban?

- Genuine Fidel Castro. (chuckles)

You know I never started smoking till much later in life.

Diane always wanted me to stay healthy.

Be alive for the old and gray years

as we sit on the front porch and watch our lives go by.

I've been having a lot of dreams

about going to the movies with her recently.

She loved romantic movies and I fear to remember.

Love story.

We went to Wuthering Heights at the university, I remember.

I cried my eyes out.

She love that.

(sighs) There's another time we went,

to a movie and she was standing there,

buying the tickets and, I couldn't take my eyes off her.

She was, stunning.

So radiant and, I don't know why.

That night, that moment, I've never been able to forget it.

She was just standing there with the tickets in her hand.

I didn't even wanna go in.

Ah, I'm sorry.

- [Jack] No, no, Walter. - Perhaps though,

Jack I gotta give you some advice.

I tell you this, man to man, because I really respect you

as a person.

And most of all as a friend.

- By all means Walter, shoot.

- Jack you are a piece of shit.

(Jack laughs)

- What? - Jack don't get me wrong

all right, I really admire your cut throat business sense.

You know, whenever I've needed somebody to be the muscle,

you're the one.

And don't think I haven't been appreciative of that.

- Okay.

- But personally, I think you're an arrogant,

self centered son of a bitch.

I mean personally I think you're fucked.

You take your wife for granted man.

You, have very few words of praise for your children.

You keep them last on your list

because you're keeping us first here.

- All right, but don't you think that

that's one of the reasons that we are where we at

in the business community?

- Which is number one.

- Which is number one, yes.

I mean what are you saying, I mean if I were

a good little family man and went home at five everyday,

don't you think we'd be shipped

and I wouldn't be standing here

as your prospective replacement.

- Fucken A!

- So would you mind extrapolating

on your train of thought there Walter

or would you want me to just turn around

and bend over the next time you exhale.

- Listen Jack, there are many things

that take me years to explain.

I don't have time or the desire.

Instead, I want you to do me a favor.

- A ghost tour?

- Yeah.

I want you to go on that tour.

- What?

Why?

- Because you need it Jack.

You need it, the same way I needed it 20 years ago

only I didn't know where it was 20 years ago.

All I knew was this then.

Now that I know... - Walter

what the hell is going on?

- Just go on the tour.

- But why?

- You wanna be President and CEO don't ya?

- What are you saying?

That my appointment is predicated

on my going on a, ghost tour?

- No, no. Your ever loving soul is.

(serene piano music)

- You okay?

- Mr Keeler he...

- Do you want to talk about it?

- [Al] And that is when the service ends.

I have to be there to set up.

- [Meg] I told them. Why do you think I am, stupid?

- So, after the service,

- We go straight to the burial.

To everybody will come.

- Well, I think we're all set them.

- Yeah, except, Meg.

Meg?

You have to take your medication.

We can't have you floating around the church making an ass

out of yourself. - Al!

- You hear?

Meg?

(remote bangs)

(Meg murmurs angrily) - Stop!

Meg!

(Al and Meg shuffle)

let go!

Let go!

(Meg exclaims)

(Meg pants)

(Meg weeps)

- Jack Kimura? - Yeah.

- Logan Kahoano.

This is my associate Anson Ballard.

- [Anson] How's it?

- So you ready to go ghost hunting?

(Jack chuckles)

- Whatever man.

- Lets go.

(tour group murmurs)

Everybody, this is the late Jack Kimura.

(tour group laughs)

Everybody make yourselves acquainted

and introduce yourself to Jack.

- Hey.

Where's your sultan tea leaf, Mr?

(tour group hum) Mr?

(leaves ruffle)

- Joy, Jack, - [Tour Bus] Yeah Jack. - There you go.

- Well lets get on the way because I know

you are all dying to go.

(tour group cheers and exclaims)

(bus rumbles)

- What the hell happened?

- You saw... - No, I'm not talking about tonight.

I'm talking about the disintegration of us.

You give a shit about that?

- Hey, don't give me no fucking lecture!

- Al, you could have killed her.

I'm not home a week and already...

- That's right.

You're absolutely right.

You're not here.

You should have just left it at that.

I mean, you not here a week, Mike,

you're not here period!

You're not here to deal with her immature,

asinine attitude and the bullshit day in and day out.

So you have no clue what you're talking about!

- Hey, what are you talking about,

she needs help man.

- Then help her.

Good luck!

I'll be by in the morning.

And make damn sure she takes her medication!

(man chants in foreign language)

- Today you can see the ghost

of the faceless woman in theater number six.

And when the lights come up, she will be

in the 5th row on the left, towards the front of the screen.

She will appear as a homeless woman,

but if you go over and tap her on her shoulder,

shell wake up and look at you,

and you'll see that she has no face.

- No leave it off.

- [Mike] You okay?

- I'll be all right.

(bed creaks)

(Mike sighs)

- Why do you do this to yourself Meg?

- (sniffles) I don't know.

I try, I really do.

When I was little, daddy said I had to be

a good little girl.

(sniffles) I was always a good little girl.

But now daddy's gone. (weeps)

- It's okay.

(Meg weeps)

- Mike.

What was mom like?

Tell me Mike.

(Mike sighs)

- Mom was pretty. (happy serene guitar music)

You look a lot like her.

She would make Al and me breakfast, every morning.

Wouldn't let us leave the house without eating.

She used to like to sew.

She was always knitting something.

(Meg sniffles)

- Was she looking forward to, you know?

- She was looking forward to having you, yeah.

She kept saying how you were gonna be

the sunshine of her world.

(Meg weeps)

- Kyle Fukushima, he says to himself, I've got it.

I will commit the perfect crime.

The perfect crime was to kidnap the only son

of the head of this company.

The landlords wanted to kick his parents out.

They released Billy, to Kyle Fukushima.

They watched them both walk hand in hand

into the black Packard taxi cab.

Little Billy is sitting in the car

looking at Kyle Fukushima saying,

this is not the way to the hospital, it's the other way.

Kyle reaches into his back pocket

and pulls out smooth rock.

He begins to bash the back of the boy's head in.

It turns out that it is Kyle Fukushima's

own sister that turns him in.

Kyle Fukushima is hung to death at Oahu prison.

So his actual bones are located here.

Kyle Fukushima has no living relatives.

People have continually come to his grave

and they've left many, many things.

They've left flowers, they've left incense,

they left Mochi, they've left barrels of Sake, you name it.

But the one thing that sticks out,

in this case, this true story, is this.

Every week someone leaves this pebble.

I take it.

And when I come back, there's always another one there.

All right, lets head to our next stop.

- Oh my word, lets take a quick picture.

- [Group Member With Yellow Shirt] Let me take it.

- Oh, are you sure?

- Yeah sure. - Oh okay, thank you.

(tour group members murmur)

- Here, come in,

I'm not really park of this either.(chuckles)

- [Tour Group member] One, two, three.

(camera clicks)

- Now I'm going to tell all of you

about my own personal experience with death.

Back in 1978, I was I my 30s.

While I'm driving close to my house,

when I fell asleep for an instant.

I woke up in time, after only a couple of seconds maybe

but, but too late.

I missed the car, but I hit the tree.

It was a miracle that I survived.

And the doctors who said that didn't know

how correct they were.

It's almost impossible to describe,

but I was in the car and I could see

the fellow standing outside the car looking at me, was me.

And I was also outside the car,

looking at the person with his chest caved in

and blood pouring from his mouth and nostrils.

That's me too.

And I remember thinking at the time,

boy I, I don't look too good.

And then at that moment I looked around

and I saw other, so many other people looking at me

in the car.

But of the people looking, some seemed different.

Some were calm, and some were frantic.

And the frantic people were running around,

somebody call the ambulance, he needs help.

Call the ambulance!

The calm people just stood around and kind of smiled.

I had wondered what was that all about,

until it came to me.

The frantic people were of this world.

The calm people were from the other side.

And then one fellow, a young Asian man

who was standing near, walked over and looked at me.

What happened I ask?

He just smiled.

And in the moment he smiled there was

this great light, so bright.

Brighter than the brightest star,

more bright than the sun and yet, I wasn't squinting.

I took in this glorious light,

and I felt so peaceful, you know.

And then I'd see this fellow,

he's no longer a man but now, a little boy.

And he plays in a river.

He likes to pick up stones.

He's a collector you know.

He's got all these nice smooth stones

and I ask him, what are you doing?

He tells me he's being happy.

He says being happy is one of the great things

that people could do, but we seldom take time to do it.

He says, if I had to live all over again

I would play by the river with my stones forever and ever.

Now while I'm enjoying all this,

I was still very confused so I ask him,

"What are we doing here?"

and he says, don't you know and I say, know what?

And he looks at me and says, you're dead.

No!

I cannot be dead.

And immediately I see myself on an operating table

as if I'm hovering right next to the ceiling.

The doctors and nurses are frantically

trying to save my life.

There's panic and chaos and, I'm just on air looking down.

I remember seeing the words for room 15B,

written with a black mash pen

on the top of the light fixture.

Anyway I'm floating up above

and I think, hey, this is pretty cool.

I know it sounds strange but time you see has no relevance.

That, I mean there's no such thing.

I remember asking him, was this heaven?

Is this what heaven is like?

And he told me, no.

Where we were wasn't heaven, but a place

in between earth and heaven.

It was a place were souls had choices.

They could either return, go into the light

or heaven, or stay there.

The boy said that place, the place between

heaven and earth, was his choice.

And when I asked him why did he choose to stay

rather than go into the light,

he said, well he had some unfinished business.

I ask him, what it was?

And he said, you'll understand one day.

He said he still had a lot to do

and one of the things he had to do

was to tell me to go back down.

But by then I'd grown accustomed

to the feeling of the place.

I actually wanted to stay you know.

But he said no, I had to go back.

I had things to do back there.

I'm thinking, what about him>

why can't he come back with me?

But before I could even ask I knew that

he could never really come back.

He was to move on for he still needed

to do somethings first.

For some reason everything made absolute sense

in the moment.

I can't tell you what that was for I can't remember

but I knew then that everything

in the universe made perfect sense.

And then no sooner than that I was back in my body.

I could feel the tremendous pain.

I could no longer see anymore and I knew that the,

the beautiful realm that I had the privilege of visiting

was millions, zillions, a whole dimension away.

People told me I must have hallucinated everything.

But I know it happened.

I know because after a month, I was able

to walk around freely and climb to the top

to check the light fixture.

And there it was, 15B.

People whatever your religion, be it Christianity, Islam.

Whether you're of the Jewish faith

or the (mumbles) Buddha or whether you believe

in any religion at all, there is another side

to our dimension of reality.

And it is as real as anything real in this world.

We have nothing to fear in death.

Dying may be painful and perhaps prolonged,

but death brings us to a beautiful place.

And so if our ultimate destination is so beautiful,

why can't we make our dying beautiful as well.

- Hey I know someone that works for you.

- Really? - Hmm mm.

- Who? - Wanda Dela Cruz.

- Oh god, that's not true.

- What do you mean? She isn't you executive assistant?

- She my executive assistant yes, but,

that doesn't mean she works.

- Are you so (chuckles)

(Jack chuckles)

So what's your story?

If you didn't wanna be here, why come?

- Well my boss, Walter Budine, you know who he is right?

- Yeah, Walter. - Well he suggested

that I take in this tour.

- Why?

- That's what I'd like to know.

So what do you do?

- Oh me?

- I'm massage therapist.

- Oh.

- Yes, Joce can sense things like meridian energy points

and stuff like that right?

- Yep.

- Oh so you've come on this tour before?

- Yeah, she's been on a tour about what,

two times already?

- At least.

For me it rejuvenates my life.

- Hm mm.

Seems kinda odd don't you think

that tales of death rejuvenate your life.

- You know I never thought about that.

Oh well, I guess I'm a bit odd.

(Jack chuckles) - [Tour Group Member] Joce!

- Excuse me.

- So, not your cup of tea huh, or coffee I should say?

- Oh no, no, it's quite entertaining.

I mean you have a way of putting on a great show.

- A show?

It maybe be entertaining Jack but the stories are all true.

- Nine foot wizard, a woman with no face.

- Well what if told you I saw the woman with no face myself?

- Back at that cemetery, when you said

it was known to have the spirits of children,

why?

I mean, why children, why not everybody?

- No one knows obviously.

It's looked at as a lost opportunity.

I mean, they had a whole world before them

and never got to explore it.

- So regret?

- Regret is a powerful emotion Jack.

That's why people like Joceyln come on my tour all the time,

so that she can be reminded that the key to life

is to live it with no regrets.

You've heard about people who are dying

and on their last breathe of life

they hold on, until they can say their goodbyes.

Once they get to say their goodbyes, they pass on, right?

It's kinda like sports, what's the saying,

leave it all out on the playing field.

That's the kinda life we wanna live.

Because if we don't, sometimes, we stay back.

This isn't one of the usual stops on the tour

but tonight, we've decided to stop here.

And I don't usually tell stories about people

while they're still alive but the man who used to own

this building has recently passed away.

And so I wanna share with you my understanding

of the story as it happened 45 years ago.

This used to be the sire of one of Hawaii's

most successful construction companies.

The owner of the building was Teruo Tsunoda.

Very proud man, a 442nd veteran, he and a beautiful wife

and two bright athletic sons.

They were both 18 and 12 when Sachiko

became pregnant with her 3rd child.

It was both a surprise and a blessing.

Aside from being a successful business man,

Teruo was a trained martial artist

and also trained his sons in judo.

They were so good that the annually made the US nationals.

But in the year of Sachiko's pregnancy

this became a dilemma.

She was entering her 8th month.

Sachiko did not want to deny her sons the opportunity

so she urged them to go.

Teruo didn't feel right, but eventually

he gave in to his sons pleas and flew with them

to Boulder, Colorado to the competition.

It was while they were gone, that the tragedy happened.

She was working late one night,

and heard a sound out in the warehouse.

(ominous music)

(soft shuffles)

Teruo was notified and he and his sons

flew back immediately.

But by the time arrived, Sachiko had died.

Miraculously however they were able to save the baby,

and it was a girl.

What I've told you thus far is all true.

What follows is based on local legend.

The incident would change Teruo's life forever.

Sworn to avenge his wife's death,

Teruo became an integral part of a vigilant group

that would be known as the Guardian Squad.

There were all men like Teruo himself,

who had suffered a great loss of their family members

as a result of being beaten, raped and murdered.

Somehow they found one another and formed a blood vow,

to avenge the murders of their own

and to do the kind of work that the local police

could not do.

It was reported that they helped the police

convict some of Hawaii's most notorious criminals

during the '70s and '80s.

They did this by using their own methods

and by fighting the criminals on their own turf,

in essence fighting fire with fire.

Eventually with the help of the Guardian Squad,

Teruo Tsunado was able to find the three men

who killed his wife.

(man choking)

They were brought to this warehouse

and taken to a room were they were beaten to death.

Their bodies were never found.

(man screams)

- Did they ever convict him?

- Who would convict him?

The police was backing him up.

That's what you were saying right?

- That's what the stories say.

By the way, who do you think was one of the sons?

- Alan Tsunado, the prosecutor?

- Yep.

- Whatever happened to the business?

What about the little girl?

- The girl, who is obviously grow up now,

worked with her father as his office manager.

Upon hearing rumors about what happened to the men,

she finally confronted her father

and learned that the men were killed at this warehouse

where she worked.

This revelation caused her to have a nervous breakdown.

Afterwards the business dissipated.

And about 10 years ago, the Tsunado's

finally closed it down.

It's been empty ever since.

Gripping from his throat that has been cut,

from to ear to ear.

- Are you kidding me?

That happened here?

- No, it's an urban legend.

(group chuckles)

But what isn't an urban legend,

is the story of Melissa Turner.

27 years ago, 1984, only 13 years old.

She was waiting at bus stop in Lani Kai with her friend,

a blue Dodge Dart rolled up.

The passenger window was open,

he reached over to the glove compartment,

pulled out a gun and pointed it at them,

and forced them into the car.

The car ends up at this lonely place.

Melissa Turner's friend gets away.

But Melissa Turner does not.

He rapes her, he takes the gun,

empties out all the bullets into the back of her head.

And dumps her body on the side of the road

as if she's just a piece of rubbish.

Not an unusual thing on nights like this.

The people on this tour have told me

that they've seen her ghost.

- Oh wait, lets take another group picture.

And Anson, you too this time, okay.

Everybody gather round.

Okay here we go.

(camera click)

- Why haven't they caught the girls killer?

- Not enough evidence.

- But, I thought they had a suspect.

I mean I remember reading that they even extradited

somebody from the mainland.

- Well they couldn't pin it on him

and besides the guys they picked

to testify as witnesses refused.

- Do you believe all this?

- Well somebody knows

something... - No, no, no.

I mean, all of this, do you believe it?

- Well whether you believe it or not, I mean

everybody's perception of the supernatural is different.

But Jack, why did Walter Budine

tell you to come on this tour?

- I don't know, you tell me.

- He didn't tell you?

- No.

- Two weeks ago Walter Budine claimed

to see the spirit of Melissa Turner.

I mean he was really shaken up.

He said the girls soul was talking to him

from beyond and she told him that she was stuck

in the netherworld and she couldn't move to heaven

or earth until justice served.

Jack, how would you characterize Walter?

- Well, aside from the last two weeks

I'd say the rock of the earth.

Why?

- Well then, what makes somebody like Walter Budine,

conservative guy, a business legend,

claim to see the ghost of the murdered girl if he didn't?

- (chuckles) Logan.

What you're suggesting is like how someone on a lake

sees ripples that they can't account for.

So obviously it must be the Loch Ness monster,

I mean come on.

- Well then how do you explain his knowing

specific things that nobody else knows.

The color of his hair, the clothes she was wearing?

- The power of suggestion.

I mean, look Walter might be a giant in the corporate world

but, maybe he's a wuss when the lights go out.

I mean he gets captivated by the way you tell your stories.

I mean, in the dark with the wind blowing.

He gets the hebbie-jibbies.

I mean I was affected by the way you said things back there.

Before you know it he starts repeating the things

that you said in his head.

And then all of a sudden he sees extra riders on the bus...

- Jack, you don't understand.

Walter Budine saw the ghost of Melissa Turner

before I said anything.

(sad trumpet blows)

(birds chirp)

(somber guitar music)

- You okay?

(melodic Hawaiian song)

- All right, well I guess I

ll let you go.

- Hey Tyra.

- [Tyra] Yeah.

- I love you.

- I love you too.

(Jack exclaims)

(Wanda laughs)

- So sorry (laughs).

- It's all right.

I like a morning heart attack to get me started.

- So, how was it?

- Are you telling me that the whole office knew?

- No, just me.

Mr. Budine mentioned it.

You know he took my place on the tour when I couldn't go.

- What? How's that?

- My friend Jocelyn, you met her right?

She's been wanting me to go forever

and I was supposed to go a couple of weeks ago,

but I went to James Katsner's

Death and Dying workshop instead.

And you know something, it was amazing.

Jack, you should go,

it will change your life.

Anyway I bought the tickets, ya,

but when my aunty told me she wanted to go

to the workshop, I was telling Carol and Julie,

all the girls that they could have the tickets.

But just then, Mr. Budine walked by

and was wondering what was going on.

So I explained to him and surprisingly

he said he'd take the tickets.

I didn't know Mr. Budine was into stuff like that.

But, he had a dream that somebody gave him tickets,

so he took them.

- Tickets?

Movie tickets?

- I don't know, something like that.

Anyway, I told him he didn't have to pay

but you know him.

You know what's funny?

Mr. Budine was talking about his dream

and my aunty... - Wanda.

- Oh sorry.

Sorry, I just wanted to know how the tour went.

- Wanda.

Look if you and the other girls aren't doing anything

for lunch, maybe I can take you folks out.

- Hm mm.

Lunch with the future president and CEO.

I think we can fit that into our schedules. (giggles)

Shootz, wait till I tell them.

Oh Jack, Jocelyn said to check your email.

She sent you the photos of you guys.

Wild!

I'll see you at lunch.

(chair rolls)

(mouse clicks)

- Walter, I have a feeling we'll remember this moment

for the rest of our lives.

(somber piano music)

- [Male Caller] She had two grandchildren.

- Okay, so, when is the funeral?

- [Male Caller] Next week Wednesday.

- We can get your notice in tomorrow's paper,

as well as the Sunday classifieds.

- [Male Caller] Really? - Hm mm.

- [Male Caller] Is it more expensive? - Oh no, no, no, it's all the same price.

Is that all right.

- [Male Caller] Oh yeah.

- Okay.

- [Male Caller] Thank you for your time.

- Sure.

You take care.

My condolences to the family.

- [Male Caller] I'll tell them.

- Yeah.

Okay. - [Male Caller] Bye.

- Bye bye.

(phone clangs)

(folk guitar music)

(joyful guitar music)

(suspenseful piano music)

(car rumbles)

(phone rings)

- Hello.

- Hey.

- [Mike] Hey, what?

- See the paper?

- Yeah.

You talk about Walter Budine, I was reading.

Weird.

- [Al] What?

- I don't know, ever since coming here

I've been thinking about that case.

And now, - And now,

Walter Budine, the guy dad says was one of the toughest men

to ever be in the Guardian Squad

takes it on as a personal crusade.

Anyway, I called because Meg was cleaning out

the outside closet.

- [Mike] Meg? - [Al] Yeah.

I don't know.

I came by, she was covered in dust.

Looks like she was at it the whole morning.

Anyway, she came across this box.

It had all our old trophies, even stuff from our judo days.

- [Mike] Oh yeah.

Like, like what?

- There's a photo of the day I won

the unique division at the US nationals,

and you won the junior division.

- Oh yeah.

That was a good day.

- [Al] Yeah.

He kept everything.

- [Mike] So what you gonna do with them?

- [Al] I don't know, I mean, it's only one box.

- Yeah, it's only one box.

- [Al] Its not that much.

I could even send it to you.

- Oh no.

Keep it at dad's place.

When I come back I wanna go through it.

Okay well, I'll see you folks then.

- So what, that was your brother, the prosecutor?

(soft piano music)

- Yeah.

That was my brother.

- Well, we've concluded all the treatments.

It all went very well.

But based on the results, I have to tell you

that according to the cancer and how far it metastasized,

I think we're looking at five,

maybe 10 years at the outside.

- Wait.

I thought, you said six months to a year before?

- That's right.

(Dennis and Nicole exclaims)

- (clears throat) I'll be right outside.

(happy country music)

(birds chirp)

- Looks like a nice day today.

Not too many people huh?

That's good.

No need tee off on the back nine.

Man I hate teeing off on the back nine first,

makes me feel like I'm going backwards.

Jerry, if we're gonna golf together,

you gonna have to talk you know?

I'm not gonna do all the talking!

Already I talk to myself as it is.

You don't talk, I'm gonna go crazy.

You hear?

You gonna talk?

You sure?

Cause if you don't talk, I'm not gonna play.

You understand?

Well say something.

- Yes.

- What?

I asked you to say something and you say yes?

- Yes.

- What's our starting time?

- 8.52.

- 8.52.

I wonder who they're gonna put with us today.

- Want some Mochi?

- Okay.

- They don't get any tougher at the old folks home.

(crowd laughs) They'll come up right up in your face

and tell you, you suck.

(crowd laughs)

Yeah.

Telling you, you suck. (crowd laughs)

No I lie.

I got about, a 100 hours left of that community service.

But you know what, when that's done,

I think I'll make it a permanent gig.

(crowd laughs)

Exactly, thank you.

Cause I feel I should continue to,

entertain those old folks.

Right up until, right up until they die.

Do you know why?

- [Crowd] Why?

- Because, there's nothing more important in this world,

than being real.

And, there are no more realer people

than those who are facing death.

I mean think about it, the dying are probably

the only true and honest people on the fricking planet.

Yeah?

I mean, when you're dying, you got nothing to hide.

All that petty, petty pent up anger,

that angst we've been carrying around all our lives,

that pride that's weighed us down.

All of our desires.

All of our squabbles and jealousies, gone.

You see dying is about the only thing

that you and I have in common.

I mean, we all grew up in different places, huh?

Went to different schools, different churches.

Your skin is white, mine is brown.

Yellow, red, black, whatever!

Or I got a tattoo.

She got a nose ring.

She's gay, she's a lesbian I mean we're pretty large.

A non-whole genius society man.

But regardless of where we came from,

we are all going to the same place.

I am going to love the dying.

You know why?

Because when I die, I hope that those pearly gates

open up for me man.

And when they do, I'm hoping that all of those people

that I would have entertained,

people who I hope, I was able to give just a few moments

of pleasure before they took their last earthly breaths.

I'm hoping they'll be there to greet me

when I finally meet my maker.

And when they do, I'll smile.

And I'll look up and say hey, God,

what's up with the horns man?

(crowd laughs and claps)

(crowd claps and cheers) Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.

You have been an awesome audience.

(crowd claps over speaker)

Have a great night!

(crowd claps and cheers)

(fireworks pop)

(hopeful guitar music)

- Ah such wonderful, moving stories

that allow us to witness so many different facets of death.

All of these stories real, tender,

heart breaking, heart warming,

reflect the varied emotions of our collective souls.

Funny isn't it.

We've wrote death as this tall stranger,

lurking out there in the dark waiting to snatch us.

But I tell you my friends, death is not the enemy.

It is many other things.

As we saw in our stories, we defined death as love.

It is a means toward reconciliation.

It is courage, it is mystery and wonder.

And not to forget, death is a reason for hope eternally.

I am not well.

My heart pumps half what it should.

If anybody I should be afraid of death,

but I tell you I'm not.

My friends, death is not this black specter

waiting to take us away.

It doesn't even have to be a black death,

it can be turquoise, lavender, teal, whatever you want.

Death can be a wonderful part of our lives,

don't lock it out.

Let it in, and embrace it.

Yes even, love it.

You know, we've learnt so much together you and I,

but we have so much more to learn from where we're going.

And so my parting words to you all,

until we all meet again, have a great death.

(audience chuckles and claps)

You know, there are more dead people

in the world than alive.

And we who live and breathe today are nothing

compared to those who have come and gone before.

A grain of sand on the shores of time,

a footnote in the book of life.

So it's better to view us as not being separate

form one another but rather a part of one big family,

here and now.

Now and forever.

We're all on this journey you see,

traveling through time and space,

towards experiences we may not now comprehend.

But we will.
