You know, I read once
where certain bodies can move on
their ouvn once they've expired.
And I thought that
that was bullshit.
Right. But my friend,
Ronnie Trip, and I,
we went to a funeral home and asked the
guy who was working there about it
Guy thought ave avers-
pulling a prank on him.
But when he figured out
we were serious,
he invited us back
to the back office.
We sat down.
he offered us coffee--
that coffee was horrible: but it
was the gesture that I admired.
And it turns out--
- I-l...
H. . \ moved mm.
- You what?
- I moved him.
- You moved him?
- Yeah, after I found him,
I, uh... I moved him.
- Close the door

avhy I moved his body is because I didn't
want him in the same room x-vith those girls.

So now.
Trouble seems to follow.' me
vmerever I go.
Sort of like a diseased puppy.
I guess xvhat I'm trying

Right. But my friend,
Ronnie Trip, and I,
we went to a funeral home and asked the
guy who was working there about it
Guy thought ave avers-
pulling a prank on him.
But when he figured out
we were serious,
he invited us back
to the back office.
We sat down.
he offered us coffee--
that coffee was horrible: but it
was the gesture that I admired.
And it turns out--
- I-l...
H. . \ moved mm.

- I moved him.
- You moved him?
- Yeah, after I found him,
I, uh... I moved him.
