:06:21
They're all people
who died saving the lives of others.
:06:27
I've been here before.
:06:38
Twenty years ago, we came here.
:06:42
My mother's dead. My father and I came here
the afternoon she died.
:06:48
She was a smoker.
She died in the hospital, actually.
:06:52
- Is your father still alive?
- Hanging on.
:06:55
He's in a home.
:06:57
- You're late for work.
- You saying you want me to go?
:07:00
I'm saying you're late for work.
:07:03
How did you end up writing obituaries?
:07:06
Well, I had dreams of being a writer,
but I had no voice.
:07:11
What am I saying? I had no talent.
:07:13
So I ended up in obituaries,
which is the Siberia of journalism.
:07:17
Tell me what you do.
I want to imagine you in Siberia.
:07:21
Really?
:07:25
We call it "the obits page."
:07:29
There's three of us: me, Graham, and Harry.
:07:33
When I get to work, without fail...
Are you sure you want to know?
:07:38
Well, if someone important died,
we go to the "deep freeze"...
:07:46
which is a computer file...
:07:49
with all the obituaries,
and we find the dead person's life.
:07:52
People's obituaries are written
while they're still alive?
:07:55
Some people's.
:07:57
Then Harry, he's the editor,
decides who we'll lead with.
