Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing
called life. Electric word, life. It means forever and that's a mighty long
time. But I'm here to tell you there's something else - the afterworld. A world
of never-ending happiness. You can always see the sun, day or night. So when
you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills, you know the one, Dr.
Everything'll-Be-All-right, instead of asking him how much of your time is
left, ask him how much of your mind, baby. 'Cause in this life, things are much
harder than in the afterworld. This life you're on your own. And if de-elevator
tries to bring you down, go crazy - punch a higher floor.
