Bring out your dead


[a man puts a body on the cart]
Uncle Buck: Here's one.
The Dead Collector: That'll be ninepence.
The Red Sox: I'm not dead.
The Dead Collector: What?
Uncle Buck: Nothing. There's your ninepence.
The Red Sox: I'm not dead.
The Dead Collector: 'Ere, he says he's not dead.
Uncle Buck: Yes he is.
The Red Sox: I'm not.
The Dead Collector: He isn't.
Uncle Buck: Well, he will be soon, he's very ill.
The Red Sox: I'm getting better.
Uncle Buck: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment.
The Dead Collector: Well, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations.
The Red Sox: I don't want to go on the cart.
Uncle Buck: Oh, don't be such a baby.
The Dead Collector: I can't take him.
The Red Sox: I feel fine.
Uncle Buck: Oh, do me a favor.
The Dead Collector: I can't.
Uncle Buck: Well, can you hang around for a couple of minutes? He won't be long.
The Dead Collector: I promised I'd be at the Robinsons'. They've lost nine today.
Uncle Buck: Well, when's your next round?
The Dead Collector: Thursday.
The Red Sox: I think I'll go for a walk.
Uncle Buck: You're not fooling anyone, you know. Isn't there anything you could do?
The Red Sox: I feel happy. I feel happy. [the Dead Collector glances up and down the street furtively, then silences the Body with his a whack of his club]
Uncle Buck: Ah, thank you very much.
The Dead Collector: Not at all. See you on Thursday.
Uncle Buck: Right.
Theo: It's just a flesh wound! I'm invincible!!
