(gentle traditional music plays) - [Clerk] I'm sorry ma'am, but we can't release the body unless we have the certificate.
- For God's sake, why can't you just print more?
- Like I said, they're government issued and in limited quantity.
(whoosh) (whoosh) I am truly sorry.
- [Clerk] (sighs) Here.
If you fill out your name and contact information we will notify you as soon as one comes in.
- How long are we expected to wait?
(blinking) The funeral home said we can't make his arrangements until they have it.
- I'm aware.
It's just, it's hard to say.
(clerk typing) (pop) (whoosh) (whoosh) We do offer another option that doesn't include a certificate.
(ding) (dinging ) (dinging) - Community burials?
(snapping) Is this a(beep) joke?
(whoosh) - Aimee!
- Have they lost their (beep) minds?
- [Eve] Let's just go.
Thank you for your time.
- Come on, just go.
(whoosh) - Why the hell would you even keep that (beep) ?
- You know, maybe it's not such a terrible idea.
- (speaking Spanish) - No, you cannot be serious.
- How can you even think about it?
- There's a lot of flowers.
(ding) (popping) There's a priest, (ding) music, (mariachi music plays) and it's cheaper.
(cheering, fanfare) - You know, if you like it so much, I'll be sure to throw you in there when the time comes.
But in the meantime, I need you to shut up.
- Hey.
- And you'd prefer to leave him in the morgue.
- I never said that.
- Stop it.
- Somebody's gotta make a decision here.
Why is it all- - That's Papa we're talking about.
Show some respect!
(sighs) - I'm not throwing dad into that (beep) hole.
- Aimee.
- Okay.
So what are we going to do?
You don't want to leave him here and you don't want take up the only option we have available to us.
He could be stuck in there forever.
(keys rattling) (gently rising music) (pop) (ding) (drum roll) - We could take him.
- What did you just say?
- We could take Dad's body.
We could take Dad's body from the morgue.
- Take.
As in, steal?
- Come on, Aimee.
- (speaking Spanish) - Of all the names on that list, no one will even notice he's gone.
- Enough, we're not burying him in a mass grave and we're not stealing him either.
- Please.
- Please.
Besides you can't steal something that's already ours.
(traditional music playing) - No.
- [Bonnie] No.
- No.
There is no way on earth- I can't believe I let the two of you talk me into this.
These don't even match.
- (sighs)I think they look cute.
- Thank you.
I didn't have a lot of time to color coordinate Bonnie, sorry.
- These don't even look used.
- New scrubs is not a crime Bonnie, chill.
- No, but stealing a body is.
Ay, ya!
Just stick to the plan.
(ding) Let's go.
(wheels rattling) (shoes squeaking) (suspenseful trumpet music plays) (shoes squeaking) (whipping) (ding) (wheels rattling) (footsteps) (whip) (wheels rattling) - Go, go, go.
(dinging) - Watch it- God!
(frantic indistinct shouting) (keys jingling) - [Aimee] I know!
(frantic shouting) - What are you doing?
( footsteps) (frantic indistinct shouting) (speaking Spanish) - Go.
Get away from me.
(click) (shouting excitedly) (heavy footsteps) (door bangs shut) (banging) - (speaking Spanish) Open the door right now.
(knocking) (speaking Spanish) (footsteps fading) - I think he's gone.
(guitar music playing) - Okay.
All right.
Listen, [speaking Spanish].
Bonnie, search the left hand side.
Aimee, take the floor.
We've got to find Papa before ol' Pancho Villa gets back.
Yeah?
(speaks Spanish) (sighs) (plastic crinkles) - Wait.

- Bonnie, focus.
(sighs) (indistinct chatter) - I, I can't do this.
