[dramatic music]

DAD.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS.I JUST SAW DAD.

IN HERE?

NO, NO, I SAW HIM.I REALLY SAW HIM.

HE WAS OUTSIDE THE BOOKSTORE.

SARAH, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

DAD'S BEEN DEADFOR YEARS.

AND HIS KIND OF DEATHWASN'T AMBIGUOUS.

HE DIED AS COMPLETELY ANDIRREVERSIBLY AS A PERSON CAN.

REMEMBER, MOM TOLD USHOW IT HAPPENED.

[knock at door]

ROSE SILVERMAN?

YES?

ROSE, I'M SORRYTO HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS,

BUT YOUR HUSBAND, MAX,IS DEAD.

HE WAS IN A CAR EXPLOSION.THERE'S NO BODY.

EVERYTHING IN THE CARWAS INCINERATED.

THE ONLY THING THAT WAS LEFTINTACT WERE THE DENTAL RECORDS.

SO EITHER MAX IS DEAD,OR THE DENTIST IS.

AND I JUST HADMY TEETH CLEANED.

IF DENTAL RECORDSARE SO INDESTRUCTIBLE,

WHY DON'T THEY JUST MAKETHE WHOLE CAR OUT OF THEM?

I-I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

IT'S SORT OF LIKE THE CONCEIT

WITH THE AIRPLANEAND THE BLACK BOX.

A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, STAND-UPCOMEDIANS TALK ABOUT THAT.

I WAS IN THE AUDIENCETHE OTHER NIGHT AT A CLUB,

AND THIS GUY WAS GOING OFFON THAT WHOLE STING,

AND I WISHTHEY HAD MICROPHONES,

SO I COULD SORT OF SET HIMSTRAIGHT

BECAUSE HE'S GOING OFF

WITH THE BLACK BOX--FIRST OF ALL,

IF THE AIRPLANE WAS BUILTOUT OF THE BLACK BOX

IT WOULD RENDERTHE WHOLE PLANE FLIGHTLESS,

AND NOBODY'S GOING ANYWHERE.

I'M JUST TRYING TO SAY--

IF YOU'RE GONNA DOSTAND-UP COMEDY

AND YOU CAN TALK

ABOUT ANYTHING YOU WANT,

TALK ABOUT SOMETHINGTHAT'S REAL.

SO, UM,HOW YOU HOLDING UP?

WELL, I KNOWWHAT I THINK I SAW.
