The first 199 lines.
Along with Barlow's identity,
I took his life savings
and put it all in a rock solid investment:
the Steelers minus 3 1/2.
Pastor Barlow?
I'm Charlotte Nelson.
Thank you for coming to Aunt Ruby's wake.
Happy to be here...
on this most solemn occasion.
I took the liberty of writing up a few
facts about Aunt Ruby that you can use
at the eulogy on Wednesday.
"Amateur yodeler...
avid quilter...
liked eggs...
Impressive life.
I'll be sure and use these.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Two seconds to go.
Come on, baby. Field goal wins it...
No. No. Jesus, no!
Why did she have to die so young?
Ruby was 88.
88?
That's like the new...
78.
Pastor Barlow,
I don't think you've met my lovely wife, Hilva.
How ya doing?
Hilva's family has owned this mortuary
for three generations.
We've buried most of Ladner.
Well, hopefully they were dead first.
Of course.
We require a coroner's certificate
before we'll even begin
planning the internment.
I was just making a joke.
Oh.
I'm not a fan of humor.
Excuse me.
I must go provide warmth and comfort
to the grief-stricken.
She's quite a catch.
Thank you. It's interesting.
We were high school sweethearts
and have been together ever since,
except for a brief time when she was off at Embalming School.
- But... - How romantic.
Alden.
The dumbass Steelers
had blown every penny Barlow had.
Plus the extra 5 grand I'd bet on credit.
I needed some cash.
And fast.
Thank you for coming, everyone.
The visitation is over now.
What I was considering was pretty low,
I had to look deep into my soul
and ask myself one question...
Is anyone watching?
Okay, I want the silk shift
paired with the box clutch.
I said clutch. That is a purse, Gladys.
How are the models doing?
Oof, it's Spanx on Spanx over there.
When do I get to see the dress?
Just came in.
Courtesy gasp or real gasp?
Real.
When you strut the runway in that dress,
the whole world is gonna know
Alexa Cummings is the fashion queen
of the tri-county area.
I know! It's gonna be such a big night for me.
And for the sick kids.
Yeah, them too.
Hey, guys. Listen.
I know you're super busy,
but I just wanted to help out,
despite the fact that I was not reelected
to the fundraising committee.
Dora, we all know you were the scapegoat
for the tainted cookie dough drive.
No, no, no, no, no.
I take full blame.
Although Kim Brooks
did leave them overnight in the trunk of her car.
Anyhoo, have I ever told you about
my online store, a-Dora-ble Creations?
"Lifestyle designs for the modern woman,
handmade by Dora herself."
I guess I have.
Anyway, I made some accessories
that I thought the models
could wear in the show tonight.
I call them "Owl-Rings."
Aren't they a hoot?
And a holler.
Yeah, it's just...
I'm afraid to give the models
any last-minute changes,
especially with some of them
going through the change.
Denise is a sweaty powder keg.
You understand.
Yeah, of course. I mean, I was just trying to help out.
But, hey, it's your show.
Thanks.
It's always your show.
Being new to town,
I had no way to fence stolen merch.
So I called the only person I knew who might:
Ashlee, my hooker.
So you want to go somewhere
or is this a car jacking?
Hold on.
I just want to talk.
One of those.
Price is the same.
Do you know anyone who might be interested
in a beautiful,
superexpensive ruby necklace,
no questions asked?
Yeah, I know a guy.
Yeah?
I'm the guy.
I get a lot of "superexpensive" gifts.
I like to know who's screwing me.
So to speak.
How much is it worth?
15, maybe 20.
Thousand?
Dollars.
This is just colored glass.
Shit!
So you want to do something or what?
Time is money.
What can I get for 20 bucks?
Blue balls.
I couldn't believe
Aunt Ruby screwed me like that.
Now, where the hell was I gonna get 5 grand
to pay back my bookie?
Buddy, don't forget tonight is Alexa's fashion show
put on by Alexa at Boutique Alexa
in the United States of Alexa.
Is something wrong between you and Alexa?
You know me so well.
You know, just because I'm not some
sophisticated, big city fashionista,
it does not mean that I don't have good taste.
Or feelings.
What's this?
Oh, that's, uh...
That's a gift.
Ooh. It's so fancy.
Who's it for?
It's, uh...
For you.
For me?
But... why?
For being the most...
awesome church administrator I've ever had.
Buddy, you're so sweet.
Just when life knocks me down,
you pick me right back up.
Are these rubies?
Yeah.
But they're yours now.
- Oh, oh, oh! - Oh, my god.
I'm terribly sorry.
Look what I've done.
It's just water.
I've had a lot worse things spilled on me.
Oh. Well, here. Here.
Please.
Oh, just when I thought
there were no more gentlemen in the world.
Thanks.
My pleasure.
You know,
you have the bluest eyes I've ever seen.
[springy orchestral music continues]
Pastor Barlow,
this is difficult for me to say.
I understand.
Death's a bummer.
Just let it out, my suffering lamb.
Your assistant Dora stole my Aunt Ruby's necklace.
I'm going to the police.
Charlotte.
I think you're mistaken.
Dora's the most honest person I know.
Pastor, I know what I saw.
She was wearing Aunt Ruby's necklace.
It's a one of-a-kind priceless heirloom.
I'll give you "heirloom."
