CORPSE: Please don't. DEATH: But I can! CORPSE: Don't. DEATH: Look at me! Of course I'm cool! I wear a robe! I carry a scythe! CORPSE: You look like a 13th century farmer... who is also a wizard. DEATH: I don't care, cool or not, you have to come with me. CORPSE: Where are we going? DEATH: To the underworld. CORPSE: Melbourne? DEATH: The abode of the living dead. CORPSE: Adelaide?
