The premise
Here’s the bit.
Vince and Jacqueline, Portlandia's black-clad Weirdos, meet a sunny estate-planning clerk who expects talk of death to be a chore, only to learn the couple find it thrilling. They divide up treasured possessions such as capes, top hats, wax heads under glass and a portrait that turns sinister in a lightning flash, then describe funerals in a crumbling hilltop church with distant screams and an empty coffin, while Jacqueline would rather be dragged off by jackals and left in a field. Asked who should look after their pet bat Bella, the pair choose the clerk herself, and the appointment ends with tryouts for the professional shrieker Vince insists his service needs.

Say it with us
Highly quotable.

We'll have, like, we'll have a professional shrieker.
I would like my body dragged out to a dimly lit field by jackals and left there to rot.
