EXT: GRAVESITE - DAY
PRIEST
We are here today to celebrate the life of Bridget and her two daughters Lori and Alyssa. We must have faith that God has a bigger brighter plan for them as he welcomes them home.
A crowd of people dressed in black with Jim and his brothers sitting together in front row.
JIM (V.O.)
Why is it that everyone wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to go today. But I do, I want to be dead. I am dead today.
PRIEST
As sad as we are to say goodbye, take solace in knowing God has a plan.
JIM (V.O.)
What the fuck does he know? He never met my family.
PRIEST
Bridget was a loving mother...
JIM (V.O)
I wish we never had a funeral. We wouldn't have if it weren't for her parents. They guilted me into it. They are disgusting people, after the accident they blamed me for never getting them baptized and now they are going to hell. Thanks in-laws.
The crowd of people leave one by one until Jim and his brothers are alone. Jim stands and touches the three coffins and closes his eyes.
