"Forget everything you think you know about music." Clarence says. He wants us to call him Mr. Smith, but it's not like he's earned any respect yet. "What they have taught you is a cover-up. You are about to learn the true meaning of music." 
"How do we know you're not lying, too? What we already know makes sense. Why would we forget it?" Madeleine snorts. For such a dainty girl, she has a large personality. 
Clarence shrugs. "You can believe whatever you want to, but I can assure you I'm telling the truth. You really know nothing." 
"Nice. Now you're going to call us ignorant." Madeleine shakes her head, a cynical smile adorning her face. 
He sighs. "Madeleine, the sooner you get over yourself and start to trust me, the sooner we can start to work together." 
Ivan speaks up. "And why," he asks, his voice weary. "Do we need to work together?" 
Clarence turns to him, as though slightly startled that Ivan has spoken. "Because, my dear boy," Ivan's scowl grows deeper. "They are corrupt to the point of breaking."

Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld. ***** When Geoff dies, alongside his girlfriend Naomi, they end up sharing an apartment in the Underworld as skeletons. But after a few years, Geoff starts suffering a mid-death crisis. What's the purpose of going through the motions as a skeleton if you can't really live? Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
