TOEI COMPANY, LTD.
- What about the second floor? - This elevator doesn't stop until the sixth.
Oh, don't you have work today?
I had someone cover for me.
I checked out that department store today. First time I've gone in a while.
Wow, what a coincidence.
It looks like you went there too.
I... think it was about 1 o'clock.
Really? It must have been crowded.
I went in the evening, just before I went to work.
What's going on?
What are you laughing at?
- “Love Affair in the City.” - Apparently, that picture…
was taken secretly, in the dark.
Sugie, the pattern on your dress is peculiar.
Do they sell clothes with that pattern anywhere?
My back itches.
Please scratch it for me.
Hurry.
A little further down.
Tami, what's the matter?
He thinks he's so cool. How annoying.
Sir, it looks like you've had quite the fun day so far.
You have a little red on the side of your lip.
You're right. You've got a keen eye.
She's older than me, but I love it.
Older than you?
It seems you're enjoying her.
Right, a young, good looking fellow like yourself...
- And you know what? She has a husband. - I see.
We're having fun spending the old dude's money.
Is that right?
But still, it's a serious matter...
what if the husband got wind of it?
Ah, right...
she told me he's a cab driver, just like you.
Bloody hell, he's a colleague then.
You don't look that tall either.
You mean he's not tall?
- Yup, a shorty. - I see.
If you only saw the breasts on that broad.
Luckily, he shares her with several others...
that shorty alone wouldn't satisfy her.
She tells everyone at the club she's single.
I've said it over and over. It's not me.
Still pretending like you don't know anything?
If you think you can get away with this, you're delusional.
Look at this dress. Not to mention its patterning and cut.
If it's not you, then who is it?
There are plenty of people out there who look like me.
And besides, that dress is sold in a lot of stores.
It wouldn't be odd for someone else to be wearing it.
Shut up!
I've been following you every day!
You were at the park today with some young stud.
If you're so suspicious, we might as well just break up.
Not that again.
You're so useless.
Wait a minute. What the hell are you planning to do?!
Damn it, you're gonna see that young stud again, aren't you?
- Fine! - Damn it!
Wait.
How dare you, damn it!
You hit me!
What the hell?
Damn it!
I'll kill you!
I'll kill you, damn it!

Sir.
Where should I head to from here?
I wanted to see the president of that company, but they told me he's out.
I've got another job at 4 PM.
It'll be quick.
I have to make sure that he sees the dead woman in the back.
I'm sorry to trouble you, but I wouldn't be able to do this in a cab.
That's right, yes.
Yes?
- It's annoying. Seriously. - But it's just for a minute.
But this is a wedding hall.
Having this here is bad for business.
Hey, hey, hey!
You can't park something like that here.
I'm sorry, please park somewhere else.
I'm sure Sugie would be happy.
It's an odd thing to say...
but she looks beautiful.
What a poor thing.
Why were you so foolish?!
Close it already.
But first, look at this.
Wait a second...
you didn't...
That's right. She committed suicide.
Why... why?
She was having an affair with a man.
She killed herself out of guilt.
This is her suicide note.
I don't know what she might have written, but…
Sugie - I mean...
your wife and I had nothing to do with each other.
I did go to that club now and then…
and we've had meals together.
But isn't that just proper etiquette towards women?
I had no other intentions.
- Do you swear it on your life? - Of course.
I'm disappointed to hear that.
She only mentions the initials "Y.K." in her note.
Y.K...?
I've scoured all the business cards she got at the club for a man with those initials.
Yoshinosuke Kitamura.
You're a Y.K.
Yes.
What do you plan to do?
I just want to know who seduced my wife and led her to her death.
What will you do when you find out?
You're going to kill him?
Or are you planning on blackmailing him?
I won't do anything that stupid.
I'll obtain my revenge in a more legal manner.
How?
Hypothetically, if Y.K. happened to be me...
what would you do?
In your case, it would be easy.
You're a man of respectable standing.
And you ostensibly have plans to run for office.
I've considered it…
I'd sell the story to a magazine and destroy your reputation.
And that would satisfy you?
I'll completely suck the life out of whoever's responsible.
I'm sorry for taking your time.
Excuse me.
Hey, wait.
Isn't money what you're really after?
Isn't that right?
Please get off.
It's always like this here.
The traffic is so bad that the corpses rot in the summer.
I'll finish as quickly as I can.
Is that it?
Yes, that's it.
Let's go find the rear door.
We haven't been notified about this.
Why are you here?
The surgeon, Dr. Yamagoshi, called.
Dr. Yamagoshi? He called you himself?
I'm not sure if it was him directly, but...
Did he screw up a surgery? Either way, that's odd.
Wait here. I'll go ask him.
"My husband was aware of my infidelity.
My husband loved me.
That's why his anger was tenfold.
He says he will kill me and then kill himself.
I apologize to my husband...
the only way for me to repent is to kill myself.
I hope you will love your wife...
just as my husband loved me.
To my dearest Y.K. From Sugie, before I leave forever."
It's cold in here.
So you think this Y.K. is me?
Kenji Yamagoshi. Y.K., right?
My initials in the West would be K.Y.
You know how Sugie is. She wrote this just before she killed herself...
so I wouldn't be surprised if she wrote it by accident.
So, how were things between you and Sugie?
- That... - Tell me the truth.
I've heard a lot of rumors.
I don't believe for a minute that nothing happened.
I won't lie.
It was only one night, but...
I held your wife in my arms.
One night?
You may not believe me, but…
I swear it's the truth.
That was the only time.
And... your wife loved you dearly.
There was no room for me in her heart.
It was you who killed Sugie, wasn't it?
Hold on. That's wrong.
You just admitted it right now.
That was only one night.
There's no way she'd think of dying because of me.
Be it one night or ten years, it's still adultery, isn't it?
But...
I didn't find out until much later that she was married.
The outcome's the same.
So what do you want me to do?
I want you to make amends.
How?
I didn't come to a hospital to realize someone else's demise.
This is a place for healing.
Excuse me.
We'll meet again.
White Cross Hospital Rear Entrance
Hey you, where's the car?
Illegal parking.
I got an earful from the police.
- You have to pay for the parking. - Mr. Asami.
Please take this for now.
- What is it? - This…
it's nothing to worry about.
Please buy some flowers for her.
My deepest condolences.
I'll come by to pay my respects later.
Goodbye.
Hey.
- Okay. - I'm letting go.
- Hey. - Let's get it in.
- Okay. - Good, there.
Can you get it? Have you got it?
I never thought a human could be so heavy.
- Your wife has quite a body. - Yeah?
The poor thing.
Thank you for everything today.
- No, it's okay. - No, I insist.
I'm sorry to have inconvenienced you so much. It's not overtime, but…
I'm thirsty.
Do you have any cold beer?
Beer? Unfortunately, no.
How about some cold water?
The casket's open.
Wow, she's beautiful.
People nowadays don't really care, but...
those in my line of work still hold these sorts of superstitions.
They say evil spirits will get in...
- if the casket's open prior to the cremation. - I see.
Oh, thank you.
It's tomorrow, right?
Tomorrow?
The cremation.
Oh yes, the crematorium.
Whenever you're available is fine.
Okay.
Hey...
I thought you were done with the funeral.
The printer made a mistake and printed out extra death notices.
Thanks for everything today.
It's okay. Don't worry about it.
- It's okay. - No, my hat.
What?
Nothing.
Bye.
Thank you.
Sugie.
Who is it?
Umm... it's me.
Was it 2 o'clock tomorrow?
Yes, anytime that's good for you.
That's right.
I'm so busy, I got confused with something else.
Yeah.
Bye.
I'm counting on you.
Tobacco.
How do you feel?
I feel awful.
I don't feel like I'm alive.
But you're the one who thought up this nasty scheme.
Why don't we have some whiskey?
All right.
- With water, okay? - Okay.
What? What's wrong with you?
Because...
I'm a ghost.
What do you think?
Think it'll work?
Yamagoshi is about to crack.
But I can't expect much from him.
We'll be lucky if pays ¥500,000.
The problem is that president.
He may not look it, but he's a bit fragile.
Something about a weak heart or liver.
That guy…
“I only had meals with your wife... and I had no other intentions.”
That's what he said.
But in the end he did say, “you need money,”
so he must feel guilty enough to bring some.
Oh yeah, he said he was running in the next election.
He'll definitely bring it.
But we have to make sure we nab them both.
What?
Hey.
There's ¥50,000 in here.
The surgeon put ¥50,000 in here.
I thought he'd pay ¥5,000 or ¥10,000 at most.
At this rate, we'll net ¥3,000,000...
from these two suicide notes, just like you said.
Sugie.
It might be better to raise pigs than chickens.
Pigs?
Pigs.
No, don't they smell?
Don't act so spoiled.
Pigs are amazing. They multiply like crazy.
We could make a lot of money.
Really?
I've already put you through so much.
We'll have an easy life from now on.
If this goes well...
you can also quit that job you're always complaining about.
Hey...
I'm really sorry about today.
Making you go see other men.
Don't you hate me?
I realized something when I opened the casket.
What?
How much I appreciate you.
It feels strange.
If this wasn't an act, and you were actually dead...
I'd probably be lifeless...
like the empty shell of a cicada.
Stop crying.
I'll go now.
Can I have some money?
Yes.
Hey.
Once you get there, don't go out much.
And you'll come as soon as everything works out, okay?
You've gotta be prepared.
I know.
It's my wake tonight.
What are you doing?
Hey, hurry up and go.
Sugie.
Be very careful.
I'll be fine.
What's the matter?
It's strange to think I'll never see this room again.
What are you saying?
We're just renting it.
That's true.
- Who is it? - It's me.
It's Kitamura.
I'm sorry. I was just talking to my wife.
What?
No... it's a way to send her off.
This is our last night together.
Please.
I didn't think you would come all this way.
Especially at this hour.
Have you figured out who Y.K. is?
No, not yet.
But I have a good idea…
- Who is it? - What good will it do?
I don't understand what your wife was thinking.
If her guilt was strong enough to drive her to suicide...
why didn't she write her lover's full name?
Sugie knows me too well.
She knew what I would do if I figured out who it was.
She knew full well.
My being here today is not an admission of my own guilt.
I know.
You're a prominent and esteemed person in the business world.
That's got nothing to do with it.
I know what you're getting at.
Here.
There's ¥5,000,000 in here.
I decided I'd pay off the real Y.K's burden.
That's what this money's for.
You'll take the place of the real Y.K.?
That's right.
Besides, how do you intend to find the real Y.K.?
You wont be able to find any concrete proof.
Here, ¥5,000,000.
Now go find the real Y.K., and return the note to him.
I'm sorry, but can you drop me off over there?
It's time, so I'm calling you, as promised.
Oh, I completely forgot.
Who cares about that?
Oh, all right.
I'll go back and get it.
From now on, we're complete strangers.
¥5,000,000.
Honey, open up, it's me!
What happened?
The president...
I was so scared...
Kitamura saw you?
- Why didn't you come through the back? - I did.
You fool!
We just got ¥5,000,0000!
¥5,000,000?
You're so stupid.
Look, here's ¥5,000,000.
We did it.
We really did it!
What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get in!
What if Yamagoshi comes?!
It's okay.
We should pay our respects to the president instead.
To Kitamura?
He died.
He was a very kind man.
After he delivered this, he saw me, and was so startled...
that he passed on.
I see.
It's heart medication.
Why did you come back anyway?
I forgot my precious bag of make-up.
A woman's life is her make-up.
What's it for?
We don't know when we'll have to disguise ourselves again.
I need to have a full set.
Sugie!
Hey, Kitamura's really dead, right?
Why?
What if that was an ambulance?
It's all right. He's definitely dead.
He died on the back stairway, right?
The cops will be around by now, and more may be coming.
I hope Yamagoshi comes soon.
I know.
Anyway, come tomorrow,
we'll be long gone from here.
I think they left.
Well, I'd better get going.
It must be Yamagoshi.
Hurry up and get in, quick.
Just get in.
Ready?
Good grief, they gave me a real scare.
It wasn't the surgeon.
Just some drunks.
What's the matter?
¥5,000,000 in cash feels incredible!
I don't want to put it down.
It suits you well.
They're here again.
Hey.
Instead of keeping it here, wouldn't the money be safer with me?
Yeah, I guess so.
But are you going to be okay?
I'll be fine.
- I'm not just worried about the money. - I know.
Don't worry. You can count on me.
Okay, I'm going now.
Call me when you get a chance.
But I can't do it until after Yamagoshi comes, right?
Yeah, but the cops are snooping around so we can't wait too long.
Still, it's 2 million more than we originally planned.
Anything Yamagoshi brings will be gravy on top.
I suppose I'll wait until morning.
If he doesn't come by then, I'll give up.
Okay, see you later.
- I'm Daiji Tokuda. - We've been expecting you.
Hey, you.
I know.
Excuse me, I booked Room 308 this morning.
Yes, ma'am.
Your room is on the third floor. The bellboy will show you the way.
- You. - Yes.
- Thank you. - This way, please.
What's going on?
Someone you know?
She's really something.
She's married.
Nothing odd about a married couple staying in a hotel.
No, she's having an affair.
How could a cabbie afford a place like this?
Hey Tami, why don't we play a prank on them?
Who are you?
I got here first, huh?
Welcome.
I'm sorry it's so sudden, but are there any rooms available?
Please wait a moment.
The last time I stayed here I booked room 308.
Unfortunately, room 308 is currently occupied.
How about room 307? It's next to 308.
- I guess that'll do. - Thank you.
You.
This way.
Excuse me.
Do you have someone with you?
Oh, I suppose she'll be arriving later.
I understand.
Did you hear something?
No.
No, don't.
Then just as we agreed, I'll keep ¥2,500,000.
Hey, where do you think you're going?
My deal with you is over.
I'm free now.
That's true, but there's one more thing.
What?
I sent you all the way back to get it.
- The suicide note. - Oh, that.
Here.
What are you going to do with it?
You can just throw it away, can't you?
Only a dying person needs suicide notes.
That's right. Right before they die.
But I'm alive.
- For now. - What?
No...
I meant that you died once, but now you're alive.
I just thought I'd keep it as a reminder of our love and misdeeds.
You have strange tastes.
If you're going home, there's no point in my staying here.
Let's go.
So I suppose that concludes our business together.
Thanks to you I got to have some fun.
I have to go brush my hair.
So what do you plan to do with the ¥2,500,000?
I need to get away from him first.
You're a true modern woman.
Trimming away everything you don't need any more.
I'll drink to that.
Here's to your freedom from your husband.
Who could it be at this time?
Who is it?
It's the bellboy.
What do you want at this hour?
The telephone seems to be out of order.
We've been trying to call you for a while.
Well, this situation has me lost for words.
How about a drink, I suppose?
Why don't you give him your glass?
Thank you.
You really strung me along at the hospital.
But I understand now.
I get it...
why you so easily admitted to being with my wife.
¥50,000 for flowers is a drop in the bucket compared to ¥5,000,000.
You're good.
What an amazing crime.
I didn't think I'd get that kind of praise from you here.
You're right, I planned it all.
A crook posing as a victim.
Don't you appreciate the irony?
But those ¥50,000 for the flowers...
were really for her.
You see, she needs the money to run away from you.
Run away?
Well, I'm a victim here. No one would suspect that we teamed up.
But now, I see that she double-crossed me then.
Who can guess what goes on between a husband and wife?
Even I, as a doctor, have to admit I didn't see that one coming.
I understand you would want to be around tonight...
but why did you interrupt the deal?
Since your wife got her half of the 5 million, as agreed...
but it seems the deal doesn't satisfy you.
Maybe you want to split the 5 million three ways?
Why didn't you just say so?
I imagine we can talk and come to an agreement.
I can get that. It totally makes sense.
Let's drink to that.
Cheers.
So I see you still want to...
go ahead and carry out your plan.
A shrewd swindler like you wouldn't risk losing such a precious note.
You can drop the act now.
What?
I know you have her suicide note.
What a dumb goose you are!
You took it from my jacket.
If I hadn't stopped him, you'd be dead by now.
You're so stupid you make it hard for me to resent you.
How did you know?
Fate sent me at the right place, at the right time.
A simple coincidence.
I don't believe in such freak coincidences.
Of course! You followed me after the hospital.
No, that can't be.
When I stole the poison you were at your home.
That means... you followed me.
So he's right, you wanted to kill me.
That way you'd keep the entire haul for yourself.
I need it to open my own practice.
And you wanted it to run away from that failure.
You were such an easy mark.
Run away from him? How can you be so naive?
We just need that money to live a happily married life.
So tell me, Mr. Yamagoshi...
you wanted to take our money... so how about we take your life?
I see now. You two want to kill me.
So I am the victim, after all.
I get it...
If you wanted to run away from him, why would he be here tonight?
I guessed right.
Damn right. 5 million would turn anyone into a murderer.
You told him where you'd meet with your lover.
He didn't find us by chance.
The plot of a dime-store novel.
How would that be a coincidence?!
I was lucky to interrupt you tonight!
You set up the scene for a murder of passion; the jealous husband.
You'll get 5 years tops, and still be rich when you get out.
5 million is more than you losers would ever hope to earn in a lifetime.
Shut up!
No one know how this story is going to end yet!
Damn it!
Hey, bring me that beer!
Yes.
What are you going to do?
Hey, how are you feeling?
You're completely wasted.
Drinkers are carefree, aren't they?
He's probably in heaven right now.
- Are you all right? - Yes, it's okay.
Here's the money.
Thank you.
Take care!
Hey, what should we do?
Just come.
I'm sorry, we have an emergency. Can you please let us through?
Hey, hey!
- If it's an emergency, go in from the front! - I'll use this way to go to the front.
- Yes, but still… - It's all right. I called earlier.
Please be more mindful in the future.
It hurts...
I can't do this anymore.
You fool, don't be so weak.
Look. Here it is.
I saw this before.
Hey, wear this.
Find the security guard and ask for the keys to the morgue.
Keys?
- But we told the security guard just now that… - It'll be fine.
He won't realize if you're wearing this.
That's right, the dried squid is tough
If it's tough, let's chew on it
Dried squid, dried squid, dried squid, it's hot
Dried squid, dried squid
- Is it tough? - Sir, sir!
Can I have the keys to the morgue?
The morgue?
It's a request from Dr. Yamagoshi.
Oh yeah, the morgue keys.
An emergency room patient died during surgery.
Oh, dear.
You have a mole in the same exact spot as my late wife!
Wow, that was surprising.
Give me the keys.
- Honey... - Shut up.
Hey!
Another one died?
Yes, again.
I see.
What a strange day.
It's the second one this evening.
Homage to Amida Buddha, Homage to Amida Buddha.
Open it.
This is like hiding a tree in a forest.
I'm scared.
Hurry up.
Someone will come.
There aren't any empty beds.
Here!
Hey, grab this.
Ready?
Come on.
Okay.
Come on, get those sheets.
Quickly.
Come on, it's only a hand.
Hey, hurry up and bring another sheet.
Hurry.
That one over there.
The president!
All right!
Move.
Fate is a curious thing.
Let's go.
I'm sorry.
This is all my fault.
Let's not talk about it.
He told me that blackmail wasn't really a crime compared to murder.
But we ended up murdering him.
- Enough talking about murder! - Keep it down...
it's the middle of the night.
To begin with, we had no intention of killing him.
I'm sorry, it's all my fault.
In time, everything will be forgotten.
I lost my parents as a kid. I can't even recall their faces.
It's the same thing.
Hey... I'm really sorry.
What a night.
Seriously!
I'll make some tea.
Now that I think about it...
we've never been on a train together.
We never actually traveled by train.
I've had enough of anything related to cars.
Try spending every day in a car. It's living hell.
You start getting jealous of pedestrians.
The city's so congested.
Hey.
Get these pants off.
Yes.
I'm so thirsty.
Is the tea ready?
Almost.
Here you go.
It tastes good.
Here.
Sugie.
I love you.
Oh, I left the kettle on the stove.
I love you.
Tami, what is the thing you desire most?
I've never thought about it.
You haven't?
What about that car?
You've been mentioning it.
What's it called?
It's a Porsche.
Porsche?
It's a German car.
It's named after the guy who made it, Porsche.
This one is a 1962 model. 4 cylinder, air cooled engine.
Maximum speed is 200 kilometers.
Tami.
I left home.
I left my husband.
I'm not asking you to marry me.
Well, it would be nice if you did,
but that would make you miserable.
I'm an old lady to you.
I know we can't get married.
I just want you to make me feel like I'm your wife.
I brought money.
I can buy you the real thing; not just a toy.
Maybe even a brand new one.
Open it. There's ¥5,000,000.
¥5 million...?
What is this?
Old lady, are you dead?
Where are you going?
Where have you been?
You don't have to tell me.
You thought I'd fall for such a trick?
Don't give me that look.
You'd do anything for money.
You don't even mind that you're officially dead now.
Let me go, you're hurting me!
All you could talk about was raising pigs...
that's the highest your ambitions can aim.
No sound person has such vulgar dreams.
Give me the money this instant.
The money? The money? The money, you say?
I knew you'd hide it there.
Is that the key to all your dreams?
Is it worth it at least?
- I want it! - What the hell?
No, damn you!
We both worked hard for it. I deserve my share.
Think of how many pigs you can buy with your share.
And what will you do with so much money?
I took your orders long enough...
from now on I'm free from you.
Every little inconvenience is an excuse to threaten to leave me.
You always end up in tears.
It's all about you...
Hey, don't tell me...
are you eloping with that young stud?
Great, now that you finally understand, it's easier for me to go.
You told me we couldn't swindle him with the hearse because he's penniless!
Don't give me that look.
Now I'm not sure I want to let you go with that money.
I see. You told me you'd never live with a poor man...
but from the start, your plan was to use me to go with him!
It took you long enough to realize such a simple fact.
Bitch... you took me for a ride.
He's the only man who doesn't bore me to death.
He's a tender and fragile young soul.
Sure, he can be selfish...
but there's no ulterior motive behind it.
At least he truly needs me.
Oh come on, I nearly cried.
Give him ten years. He'll be like the rest of us.
I was what he is, he'll be what I am.
Then I'll find another man.
How old will you be by then?
I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
- Wait! - What, damn it?!
I won't let you do whatever you want!
Stop!
What the hell are you doing?!
Damn it!
- Damn it! - What are you doing?!
- Stop! - Come here, damn it!
Shit!
Damn it!
Bitch! I'll kill you!
I'm gonna kill you!
I'll kill you!
Sugie...
We... finally ended it.
Mr. Asami.
Who is it?
Mr. Asami.
Who?
Umm, I...
I'm the driver of the hearse.
Oh, Mr. Mouri.
Give me a minute.
- Was I a bit early? - Oh, no.
I'm sorry. It's just that traffic's been backed up.
- Is that so? - Yes.
Once I leave the parking garage my entire schedule's thrown off.
That's why I decided to come to your place first.
Are you done with the preparations?
Oh, it's the same as yesterday.
I couldn't sleep last night.
It's the same for everyone.
Especially someone who lost a young wife.
Huh?
The casket's open again.
I wanted to talk to her.
To think that this is the last time...
I understand.
Her name was Sugie?
It's a nice name.
Well, we should get going.
Hey, what's going on?
Let's take a break.
What?
What's this about?
You'll certainly be able to have her cremated or buried today...
so there's nothing to worry about.
What do you mean?
I just want to take a break.
- Here. - I don't want it.
You can smoke while you're driving, can't you?
You're in such a hurry.
It's best to get things like this done as soon as possible.
Before anyone notices.
What?
I really don't understand people.
Some people die twice, for goodness' sake.
You strangled her?
It must have been painful.
All the people I associate with are dead.
So I know.
Their faces speak to me.
Like they're alive.
Your wife's face wasn't something I could befriend.
She was alive.
Right?
Your wife died today.
You know, I've gotten tired of hanging around dead people.
I want to quit this business as soon as possible.
I see.
How much do you want?
After I say goodbye to this shiny car, I'll need enough for food.
Don't worry.
I'm not gonna ask you to take care of me forever.
I'll work, too.
I want to buy a car and become a cab driver.
How about ¥3 million?
What?
That's the minimum.
That's insane. That kind of money…?
I mean, yeah, for a cabbie, that's a lot of money, but...
for a company president who's about to run for office,
or for the head surgeon of a hospital, it's no big deal.
And if I refuse?
Refuse?
You?
You won't do something that stupid.
The police station is only a stone's throw away.
There's a souvenir in the back of the hearse that I'm sure the police would love.
Thanks to you...
it looks like I'll be able to drive live customers.
All right, I'll pay you ¥3,000,000.
I figured you would.
I'll pay you now, in cash.
Want me to show you?
Come now.
Don't be alarmed.
I'm not lying, am I?
We can't count or check the money here...
and this car sticks out like a sore thumb.
Hey, how far do you plan to go?
I'm just trying to find a good place.
Our bare chests
The night wind blows as the bones crack
Tomorrow is a continuation of today
I don't even know where I'm headed
It's all right, it's all right
I was chained many times, yesterday
Make the kissing sound
Tomorrow is a continuation of today
A good day like this won't happen again
It's all right, it's al….
It's unusual to see a hearse in a car accident.
He's dead.
What a fool.
Do you know him?
Not at all.
He'll probably go to heaven in the hearse.
It's lucky the car didn't end up like a barbecue.
If the hearse went up in flames, the crematory would be devastated.
THE END
