Hello? Can you hear me? Hello?
Try opening your eyes... that’s it.....
That’s it, there’s a good chap. Well done. Can you hear me?
Good. Good man. Well, here you are. If you’ll......
No, you’re not in a hospital. Now, if you....
Well, I’m trying to. It’s a bit of a sticky situation, really. If you give me a moment, I’ll try and explain...
No. I’m not a doctor. More of an... accountant, if you will. My name? Well, we’ll get to that in a moment. Yes, I know who you are. Please be patient, Mr. Phillips. I’m sure all will become clear.
Please, Mr. Phillips. As I said, this is a rather delicate situation, but rest assured, I am fully trained to deal with it, so if you bear with me I’ll be finished in a jiffy.
Can you stand? Good. Actually, you may prefer to sit... no? Very well, that is of course your right.
I am assured by my superiors you will be feeling much better - you are experiencing no pain? Excellent. That’s almost always the case, but sometimes mistakes are made.
May I ask - what is your last memory before you woke up? My records indicate you were... let’s see, an automobile accident? You remember the vehicle skidding.... the sound of shattering glass... and that’s about it, yes? Not to worry.
No, as I said, this is not a hospital. It’s actually a.... better place.... ha! That’s rather witty, if you’ll forgive me a small conceit.... pardon?
Very well, then, if I must. My name is Death, Mr. Phillips. I’m here to make your journey as simple as possible. However, I must balance your account before I decide where you're going next, you understand.
If you’ll just calm down, we can begin....
