    INT. LOCKER ROOM - DAY

    A PATHOLOGIST - Sinatra (25, male) - is putting on his


    regular clothes. Getting rid of all the blood and death when
    he receives a text message. This completely ruins his mood.
    There a nude magazines hanging around the locker room.
    He doesnt believe it at first but comes to term with
    whatever the demands were that he read.
    He stares at himself in the mirror, with a cigarette hanging
    out of his mouth. He keeps staring for an extreme amount of
    time then exits.

    INT. MORGUE HALLWAY - DAY

    A TRAY with cutlery is descending down the Morgues hallway,


    passing dead bodies and cutlery of all types. TRAY POV.

    INT. AUTOPSY ROOM - NIGHT

    Sinatra now with his dead father on the gurney. Sinatra


    sighs, then gets ready for the autopsy.
    SINATRA
    Long time no speak, Dad.
    Sinatra whips out some cutlery to perform his autopsy.
    SINATRAS FATHER (V.O.)
    Look Son, I can talk!
    Sinatra is speechless. SinatraS FATHER who is supposed to be
    deceased is talking to him.
    SINATRA
    Definitely seeing things...
    He covers his fathers mouth, his words come out MUFFLED.
    SINATRAS FATHER
    (Muffled)
    Im sorry for kicking you out.
    The father gets a bit aggravated and bites down on his sons
    hand. Sinatra throws his fathers covers away to continue the
    autopsy.

    SINATRAS FATHER (CONTD)


    Cover me up its getting pretty
    chilly and if that night-maid is
    still around I wont look too
    impressive...
    Sinatra is wigging out from his fathers bite mark.
    SINATRAS FATHER (CONTD)
    (Looks down at his crotch)
    ...if you catch my drift.
    SINATRAS FATHER (CONTD)
    Come on. This is your last 20
    minutes with me, boy. You not going
    to make amends with all that
    happened between us?
    SINATRA
    Remember the last thing I asked
    you?
    Sinatras FATHER shakes his head.
    SINATRA (CONTD)
    Why was I born?
    SINATRAS FATHER
    Oh, boy. The moment of truth
    (Sighs)
    SINATRAs father purposely doesnt make eye contact.
    SINATRAS FATHER (CONTD)
    To save a failed marriage.
    This just entirely makes matters worse for Sinatra as he
    stands there, battling his emotions with awkwardness and
    anger.
    SINATRA
    Youre a bastard.
    SINATRAS FATHER
    All I wanted for you is to become a
    doctor. Not someone who fondles
    with bodies all day and night. Lord
    knows why you wanted to perform on
    me, creep.
    (Beat)
    Sinatra ignores his cruel comments

    3.

    SINATRAS FATHER (CONTD)


    Hows that therapy going?
    (Beat)
    SINATRA
    You know what? My therapist told me
    to reconnect with you... guess
    what?
    He opens him up from the rib cage, interrupting his father as
    he was about to say what?.
    SINATRA (CONTD)
    Oh boy, am I ever!
    His deceased father is screaming in pain. After Sinatra is
    done with his job he pops his father on a gurney.

    INT. FUNERAL HOME - NIGHT


    5
    The Funeral Home is a lodge like home with floorboards that
    creak. There are paintings on the walls symbolizing life
    and people, pictures of people gathering for something
    special, etc etc.
    Sinatra enters, looking for the mortician. He hears a certain
    repeating sound, he starts searching for it grunting becomes
    clearer, from a man. Sinatra approaches the door from where
    the sound comes from, he opens it to find the undertaker MCCARB (25, British Male) - dancing with the cadaver.
    Sinatra falls down in shock and worry for his fathers body.
    MCCARB sees him, halts the dead body and himself steady.
    MCCARB
    I can explain.
    He looks the cadaver in the eyes.
    MCCARB (CONTD)
    No I cant.
    He drops the dead body.

    4.

    SINATRA
    Im here to deliver my fa-... Are
    we going to talk about what just
    happened? Or...
    MCCARB
    Oh boy, do I have some explaining
    to do.
    (Beat)
    Coffee or tea?
    6

    INT. FUNERAL HOME - NIGHT


    MCCARB and Sinatra sit at a coffee table going over the
    events that had just occurred.

    SINATRA
    Its... understandable. How long
    were you two married?
    THE MCCARB
    15 years. Till death do us apart.
    Im quite a romantic.
    SINATRA
    Cancers a bitch.
    MCCARB
    As you can see love comes in many
    different forms and shapes. What
    brought you here today, my friend?
    SINATRA
    Making sure the old man gets to his
    resting place safely.
    (Beat)
    You dont by any chance... you
    know? Do it with them, do you?
    Sinatra hints at him having intercourse with dead bodies with
    his fingers and at the coffins.
    MCCARB
    Yes, yes. Im glad to tell you, not
    many homo-necrophilic exist...
    fortunately.
    (Beat)
    As long as you dont have any dead
    female relatives we should be cool.
    SINATRA
    Do you at all feel a connection
    when you... You dont think I
    could... No. No.
    (MORE)

    5.
    SINATRA (CONT'D)
    I refuse to have intercourse with
    him to gain a connection. Its
    absurd!

    MCCARB is extremely disgusted by this.


    MCCARB
    Of course its absurd, darling.
    Its almost like seeding life into
    nothingness. But Id advice casual
    necrophilia not incestuous
    necrophilia, that would be crossing
    the line.
    (Beat)
    SINATRA
    Could I be alone with him?
    McCarb squints, trying to figure out if Sinatra is hinting at
    what he thinks he is hinting at.
    I need to have one last goodbye to
    him. Just a few minutes, please.
    Sinatra looks over to his fathers coffin.
    MCCARB
    See, that is crossing the line. Im
    not your dead-body-sugar-daddy,
    okay, or one your therapist. So I
    bid you a farewell and have to ask
    you to leave.
    SINATRA
    For a fact, my therapist told me it
    was either reconnect with him or
    pick up and get a change of scene.
    Im thinking France...
    Sinatra stands and exits the Funeral Home to start his new
    life.
