It’s over here, fishing tool.
It's gross.
It's racket, you ought to get into that.
You’ve been google making a ton of cash cleaning up after dead people.
You don't have a job. And do you really want to live with your dad for the rest of your life?
All we have to do is go in there, and throw anything away.

Are you still cleaning houses?
Actually, I own my own Crime Scene cleanup service. But we come into people's lives when they have experience something profound and sad, and we help.
No, God, it smells badly. Slow down. Care!
Oh my God, Rose. Come on.
Stay on your own, idiot.
