Who would want their autopsy televised?

...would you care once you were dead?

Yes! People you knew could be watching. They'd be sitting at home all: "Oh, hey, I went to high school with that guy. And there's his colon." It would be so embarrassing.

I never thought of it that way... Huh. I think they'd care more than I would at that point, still.

You don't want to be remembered fondly? And not disgustedly?

Honestly, Solomon? I doubt there will be enough left of me to dissect.

You can't say that for sure, man.

No, I can't, but it's a valid assumption.

It just makes me sick thinking about it.

...I wouldn't.

Exactly!

I'm assuming someone did?

Uh, not that I know of. I mean, I know everybody wants to be on TV, but that's the line.

I'm not sure I would want to be on television at all.

... Even alive.

It's not all it's cracked up to be. Although the money and women are nice perks.

I don't exactly need those.

You want me to take them off your hands for you, you just say the word.

...no, I'll keep what I have.

I wouldn't care.

You wouldn't care about people seeing you like that? Thinking stuff about you when you couldn't correct them?

They're going to think it anyway.

Maybe not to your face.

True, but I still don't care.

See, I do.

Why?

Because. It's...me. And I spent a long time making me the me I am.

Alright.

I am a full-time job.

Is that good or bad?

I think it depends who you ask.
