Thank you. She actually died

almost a couple months ago.

But my sister... our sister...
our youngest sister,

she's been traveling in Tibet,
she's trying to find herself.

And so, anyway,
we're finally here.

- She should be here any minute.

Oh, yeah. Ramona.

Looks like we're almost ready
for you guys.

You can just take a seat
in the waiting room.

Is that, uh...?

It's like right over there.

Why don't we just call him Grim?

He is a mortician.

It's nice to see you both again.

We just need a few more minutes

[Belinda] One of the hardest

the right urn for my mom.

[Woman] I'm sure it will be.

[Belinda] I mean, we can't just
pick something random.

[Woman] Of course not.

[Belinda]
So, I was thinking that,

since my mom is from Trinidad

and I'm going to be
taking her home,

maybe a steel-drum urn?

[Woman] What is that?

[Belinda] Oh, you know,
like a calypso drum.

[Woman] Oh, yeah.
Do those exist?

Everything exists.

[ Knocking on door ]

Hey! Hi!

I got here as fast as I could.

Did you walk?

- Oh. Hi, honey, I missed you.
- Hi! I missed you, too.

Is Peter coming?

Oh, no. He wanted to
give us some space.

I don't need space.

Well, he's with the kids,

and they are so excited
for tomorrow.

What's tomorrow?

Halloween.

Jesus. How long are you
staying for, exactly?

Am I already unwelcome?

- [ Chuckles ]
- Of course not.

But, seriously, how long?

10 weeks.
Why 10 weeks?

To shepherd the family
through the holidays.

Took you two months to get here,

and you're the shepherd?

It took me 49 days
exactly on purpose,

to allow for the bardo
to take place.

The what?

Uh, the initial stages of death.
It's Buddhist.

I must have missed that day
in World Religion.

Didn't you miss
all of college? Ha.

[ Laughter ]

What's with the suit?

Dallas had a job interview.

Ooh, Lizzy's finally demanding
a little alimony, huh?

So, what's the hold-up?
Where's Mom?

Oh, she's running behind due to
the fact that she's deceased.

Well, I know that,
but where's her body?

Where's Mitchell?

Oh, Mitch.
That's it!

[Belinda]
You forgot his name?

How do you know his name?
You've been in Tibet.

Well, I called the morgue
after she died.

His name is Mitchell Webber.
Or it might be Webber. [Vebber]

- He's German.
- [Dallas] Oh, that's just great.

The German's about
to put my mom in the oven.

He's an interesting guy.

His parents are from Germany,

he's an avid golfer,
and he loves tuna melts.

No one loves tuna melts.

I do.

Anyway, we've been
talking on the phone.

[Dallas] I thought you didn't
have a phone.

I didn't.
Then I did.

- You bug me.
- Clearly.

[ Knock on door ]

- Hi, everyone.
- Oh.

- [Dallas] Hi, Mitch.
- [Kourtney] Mitch, hi.

It's Mitchell.

- Hi.
- Hi.

You must be Belinda.

It's so nice
to finally meet you.

Oh!

Oh, we have met.
Just not in this lifetime.

That's pretty.

Thanks.

Please.

[ Clears throat ]
So...

Everything is on schedule.

It'll just be
a couple of minutes.

I do want to reiterate that
this is a witness cremation,

and we are completely aware
it's a difficult choice to make.

If you've not selected
an urn yet,

I'd be happy to
sit with you afterwards.

We can go over some options.

Well, that's quite all right,
Mitchell.

We are in the process of finding
a nice, little steel-drum urn

to put my mom in
and take her home to Trinidad.

We are?

Yes.
It's what she wanted.

Well, all right.
Let's get started.

[Dallas] Wait.
Is she...

Is she naked?

Excuse me?

She's dead. That's about
as naked as you can get.

She's wearing the pajamas
she had on

when the coroner picked her up.

If you'd like to keep them,
I can remove the PJs

prior to her entering
the crematorium.

No, no, no, no, no, no.
Keep... Keep her dressed.

He's afraid he's going
to see her vagina.

- Jesus. God.
- What? You are.

I mean, I don't necessarily
want to see it either,

but we all came
out of it, right?

Oh. I-I actually think
you were a C-section.

I was?

Your detachment,
it's awe-inspiring.

She's staying dressed.

[ Sighs ]

Okay.

I'm going to give you
a knock on the door

when it's time
to open the blinds.

- Thank you, Mitch.

Sorry for your loss.

Didn't everyone?

Absolutely not.

Okay, you know what?
Give me some, too.

Nam-myoho-renge-kyo.

The fuck are you doing?

I'm chanting for Mom.

Nam-myoho-renge-kyo,
nam-myoho-ren...

You find that
particularly effective?

[Belinda] It's no different
than praying on a rosary.

Okay.

Since you're oblivious...

your mother died with
this very same rosary

under her pillow.

And another rosary
wrapped in her hands.

And do you know where
those rosaries came from?

From her church?
Our Catholic church.

Wrong. Two churches,
one in Italy and one in England.

I sent Mom a rosary
from nearly every church

I went to on my travels.

Oh, I see.
And so you know exactly...

- No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- Yeah.

- How would you know that?
- I was there.

There's some guy
in a creepy white van outside

It was her home.

This is her home.

Not really.
Not since Dad died.

Yes, this is her home.
And it will always be her home.

Can we just agree to disagree
for the moment? It's Halloween.

Fine. But I'm not going
trick-or-treating
with my young daughter

while my sister
is dressed like a whore.

What is this?
Your laundry?

It's your costume.
In honor of her Nani,

Jessica would like us all

- Okay.

I'll be right back.

[Kourtney] Make
yourself at home!

Surprise.
Surprise is up his butt.

Well, he doesn't have to be
such a dick about it.

Oh, come on!

In the span of a year,
Dallas has lost his job,

his bitch of a wife
cheated on him

and left him alone
to be a single father,

his beloved mother died,
and now his baby sister

is making out with the man
that turned our mother to ash.

Huh! Maybe it's fitting,
as it is Halloween and all.

[ Refrigerator door slams ]

Do you have something
against Mitchell?

[Kourtney] No.
I mean, it's just odd.

He's an odd guy.

I mean, what's with
the "Mitchell" thing?

[Belinda]
It's his name.

[Kourtney] Yeah, but he's
so anal about it.

[Belinda] Why does it
bother you so much?

Uh, 'cause sometimes I don't
feel like using two syllables

- when I can use one.

[Belinda] Well,
it doesn't make him odd.

A lot of people like to be
called by their full name.

[Kourtney] Oh, whatever.
He's odd for other reasons.

with death all the time.

[ Whispering ] It's more than
I can say for us.

- Oh, whatever.
- I have to pee.

- Mitchell.
- Thank you.

Are you... Are you really
interested in this guy?

I mean, you just
met him yesterday.

Yeah.
We connected.

You connected how?

[ Urinating ] We grabbed
a tuna melt after the cremation.

Oh, that's mildly disgusting.

Just... Can we
just get off

the Mitchell thing
for a little while?

Okay, fine, fine.

Don't flush.
I got it.

So [clears throat]
I was thinking,

we should book our flights.

Book our flights?

Yeah, to Trinidad
to take Mom home.

[Kourtney] Dallas just said
he wanted Mom to stay here.

Oh! Maybe he's just not grown up
enough to have a passport.

[Kourtney] Well,
that's totally unfair, Bellie.

[ Sighs ]
Is it?

I mean, no, actually,
it's kind of true.

- [ Chuckles ]
- But...

Dallas always had it harder
than we have.

- In what way?
- [ Toilet flushes ]

Well, let's start out with
being a boy growing up

without a dad.

Oh, so having a penis
makes the childhood trauma

of losing your father worse than
it would be if you had a vagina?

Uh, why do you always have
to bring up your genitals?

Oh, God.

I did not bring up my genitals.

You said "penis"
and "vagina."

And you did not wash your hands.

I need a drink.

Okay, stop it. You're... You're
all about shock.

You like to fling out sex
to make everyone uncomfortable.

I did not fling out sex.

Although I am curious what
flinging out sex looks like.

All I said was it's harder
for a boy to grow up

without a father than a girl,
and then you have to

[whispering]
bring up your vagina.

I mean, like, as if it isn't
the most talked-about subject

in your life.

- Vagina.
- Oh, really?!

- Hey.
- Hey.

Did you take your mom out yet?

Take her out where?
Dancing?

No, just out of the box.

-All right,
let's trick-or-treat.

So, I was just asking the girls

if you took a look at your mom.

I can't believe you're dating
this fucking guy.

Uh, Dallas,
that is a bubble thought.

[Dallas] What's
a bubble thought?

Bubble thoughts are thoughts

that are better
kept to yourself.

My mom used to call them
"bubble thoughts."

Like the characters in cartoons?

- I don't have a bubble.
- [Belinda] Never did.

Yeah.
Let's go, Jess!

I'm sorry. I'm... I'm not trying
to make anyone upset.

Eh, Dallas was born upset.

Three mimosas later,
Belinda became an expert

and you decided
to let her take over.

Yeah. Kourtney asked me to stuff
the turkey, so I did.

I asked you to sew up
the turkey's butt.

- [Belinda] And I did.
- Well, then,

how did the needle
end up in the stuffing?

Oh, my God.
Did you eat the needle, Dallas?

How'd you work
that one out, Mitch?

Okay. I was sewing up
the turkey's butt,

just like Mom used to,
and then I went to look

for a pair of scissors
to cut the needle off, and I...

I think I might have gotten
distracted, and I-I don't know.

- God.
- [ Sighs ]

Belinda, why didn't you
just rip it off?

- [Dallas] Because she
was trying to kill me.
- No, I wasn't.

- [ Water running ]

You and Mitch are probably

trying to drum up more business

You had her ashes here

I haven't seen them since.

Are you just hoarding them
like you hoard

every other possession
from my childhood?

I-I had a childhood, too,
Belinda,

and... and I kept things because
they meant something to me.

And... And you
ran from them.

Now you want to come back
and claim some ownership

of a mother that
Dallas and I took care of

while you smoked drugs and rode
weird animals in some cult?

Oh, for God's sake, Kourtney,
elephants are not weird animals.

[ Sighs ] Okay, what are you...

That your facade
doesn't ever crack.

That is why you are
a selfish twat.

Is that ugly enough for you?

It's nice use
of the word "twat."

[Kourtney] You want to know
why I don't crack?

It's because ever since
I was 14 and Dad died,

I had to step up

and make sure this family
didn't fall through the cracks,

that Mom didn't
jump over a ledge.

And part of this perfect facade

is a husband that is everybody's
best friend but mine,

and a... and a special-needs kid
that I will take care of

for the rest of my life.

I am the fucking mother

- What, you think I did?

I think you're capable
of just about anything, Belinda.

Well, if I did,
maybe you deserved it.

[ Scoffs ]
Right.

Yeah.
Consider it karmic payback.

Payback for what?

Well, let's start with
all the times that you used

to make me play tackle football
when we were kids.

You were nine and I was five,
and you were fat.

- I was not fat.
- I was kind of a fat kid.

Were you, Mitch?

Yeah. You would tackle me
so hard that I would cry,

and then you would tell me
to suck it up

and loogie in my face.

[ Sighs ] People, we're trying
to have a meal here. Okay?

Yeah, it's...
it's Turkey Day.

Yeah, this is between
my brother and me.

- Don't shut him up.
- What?

Don't shut him up.
He puts up with you.

[Belinda] Oh,

- What's not to like?
- What's not to like?

Oh!

Have you guys been bonding?

There it is.
The Bellie jealousy.

Can't stand to see your brother
get a little attention.

[Belinda] Oh,

Let's try all of Mom's attention
all the time.

And now you want the German's?

When did I become "the German"?

So you have a problem

[Belinda] I had a problem
with her, but we worked it out.

Oh, really?
I don't seem to remember

her telling me
you worked it out.

- I remember her crying a lot...
- Dad.

- Because you never came home.
- It's okay, Jess.

Maybe I didn't
feel at home here.

- [ Scoffs ]
- [Belinda] Yeah.

I didn't, Dallas.

She treated you like a king.

You acted like you owned her,

and then you practically
peed on her leg

every time I showed up.

And you came home
every two years to make sure

she didn't write you
out of the will.

- Go straight to hell, Dallas.
- No, you go to hell.

And take that stupid idea

of taking her
back to Trinidad with you.

She's staying here
in the coffee can,

in her home with her son,
where she belongs.

- You knew she was in the can?
- Wait, Auntie Bellie,

you didn't know
she was in the can?

- Jess, please.
- I told you that was creepy.

- Okay, okay.

but I know what she wanted.

Okay, Belinda,
maybe we should go for a walk.

That's it.
I want you out of this house.

Okay, guys, let's just
take a group breath.

No, no group breath.

Get out of my house
and take the German with you.

All right,
we will skip the breath.

- This is my house, too.
- No, it isn't.

when you abandoned all of us.

Bellie, did you listen to him?
Did you understand

how it looked to them
when you weren't here?

I left because I had to.

When I was little, my brother
and I were best friends.

And then one day, suddenly,
our whole lives

just became about death.

We would go sit on my father's
grave every fucking weekend,

and all that did was terrify me.

I was so petrified all the time
that Dallas or my mother...

that one of them would be next.

What about Kourtney?

I didn't really think
about Kourtney.

I mean, it's not like I didn't
care, but she's perfect,

so I just assumed
she'd live forever.

Belinda.

I understand wanting
to run from the pain.

But...

But what?

Maybe you were being selfish
when you left.

Belinda, don't.
Wait!

Don't run.
I have asthma!

Okay, wait. That's a lie.
I don't have asthma.

But I was a fat kid.
I'm allergic to running.

- Go home, Mitchell.
- Bellie, don't do this.

Did you really think that
this was going to work out?

I mean, I am a fun free spirit,

and you are a totally bizarre
person with obnoxious hair

that doesn't, incidentally,
hide your bald spot.

I'm not trying to
hide a bald spot.

Well, you're trying
to hide something.

Nobody deals with death all
the time 'cause they're normal.

Oh, and you're just
surrounded by normalcy?

I'm the most normal person
in your life.

Oh, yeah. You're just
Joe Blow Normal Guy.

- Uh-huh, I am.
- Yeah.

You're the fucking garbage man.

Hey, dead people
are not garbage.

Then why do you burn them
like they are?!

Because people pay me to!

Sorry.
That came out wrong.

The check cleared,
didn't it, Mitchell?

Goddamn it,
you're fucking impossible.

You can go be normal
somewhere else.

[Kourtney] Mom used to drink nog
all night long on Christmas Eve.

And now she's in a coffee can.

Okay.

♪♪

Shit, sorry. That was
a bad bubble thought.

It's all good.

Are the doors closed?

Yes, and Mitchell and Peter

are sitting watching
the hallway.

Are they drinking?

Not yet, but Bellie's bringing
them some nog right now.

As soon as they start in,

they're going to be yapping
like frat boys.

Kids are going to pop out of bed
like little maniacs

and rip through this place.

Oh, would you relax?
They're big boys.

They can handle a little nog
and a few kids.

That's questionable.

[ Quietly ] Mine's a number.
Okay, here we go.

One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine.

Yes, yes, yes.

Mmm. Needs nutmeg.
Taste.

Yeah, I'm not the alcoholic
I used to be.

I think I can wait
till breakfast.

Merry Christmas, siblings!

- Look who got up.
- Got up?

I never went to bed.

If you're going to be down here,
you need to help.

Well, we do have a bunch
of presents to wrap.

I'll wrap.
I love wrapping.

- [Kourtney] Okay, great.
- [Belinda] All right.

[Kourtney] Mm, you know what,
though? First, a toast to Mom.

[Belinda] Okay.

♪♪

[Peter] Orange, blue, or pink?

[Mitchell] Pink.

It's a question.

What is it?

Do you like the smell
of your own farts?

Yes.

- There you go.
- You gotta be honest.

I think it's the only way
this works.

It's the whole key
to this thing.

Bellie, will you
grab the nutmeg?

[Belinda] Got it.

Dallas, I know it's late,
but do you think

you can muster up
a little holiday spirit?

Oh, don't muster, actually.
That's unsettling.

All right, let's do this toast.

- You guys need some nutmeg.
- [Kourtney] Yes.

Here's yours.

Thank you.

- All right.
- All right.

To our mother.

She was a little fireball
full of piss and vinegar.

- [Kourtney] And despite...
- Being deeply flawed.

I was going to say,
"Despite being a single mother."

She was an amazing mom.

- To Mom.
- To Mom.

♪♪

♪ O Christmas tree,
O Christmas tree ♪

Mm.
Mmm?

Hmm.
It's spicy.

♪ How faithfully you blossom ♪

Yeah, it's kind of smoky.

[Dallas] What kind of
alcohol did you use?

Rum, dummy.

You're supposed to use bourbon.

[Belinda] Mom told me
to use rum.

It's interesting.
I like it.

It's just,
did you change the recipe?

No.
It's all Mom's.

Yeah, but it tastes different.

Did you use allspice or nutmeg?

[Belinda] Neither.
It's Mom.

What do you mean?

I put Mom's ashes in the eggnog.

[ Retches ]
Oh!

[Kourtney]
I'm going to be sick!

- [Belinda] What?
- Are you fucking kidding me?

- No!
- God, were we out of allspice?

- [Belinda] No!
- What the hell
is wrong with you?

Nothing.

Oh, come on, you guys.

We've just been
fighting so much.

I just thought
this was a unique way

- to bring us all together.
- Unique?

Well, we had to do
something, Dallas.

She is just sitting there
in that coffee can
on the kitchen counter.

This morning,
I almost brewed her.

It's a decorative coffee can.
It's from the '70s.

I know, but...

I-I thought it would be healing
to have a part of Mom in us.

Holy shit!
Mom is in us!

Yeah. Pretty soon, she's going
to be coming out of us.

- [Kourtney] What...
- [Dallas] Is this something

your psycho guru put you up to?

Absolutely not. However, certain
tribal people do believe...

It is our first Christmas
without our mother,

and we drank her.

Jesus, why are you freaking out?

What if I get diarrhea?

What... What if I am
Mom intolerant?

I've always been Mom intolerant.

- That's not funny, Belinda.
- [Belinda] It's just the truth.

I mean, I think she thought
something malfunctioned

when she had me because
she was so close to menopause.

Yeah, something did malfunction.

You are a sociopath.

[Kourtney]
She's not a sociopath.

Oh, yeah, no, she's a perfectly
well-adjusted human being

with cannibalistic tendencies.

Oh, come on!
It is not like I barbecued her

and you're chowing down
on a rack of Mom ribs.

It's just a... a little ash
and bone and flesh.

Why did you put my mom in
the eggnog, you stupid bitch?!

Do not, do not, do not white-
trash up this Christmas, Dallas.

- [Belinda] I'm warning you.
- Me white-trash it up?

Me white-trash it up?
I'm not the one that decided

to use our dead mother
as a condiment.

She is a spice, you idiot,
not a condiment.

- It's the same
fucking difference!
- Oh, Dallas, shut up!

Sit down!

[Peter] Guys.

Guys, we can hear you up here.
Okay?

Be quiet.
You said blue?

[Kourtney] Oh, God. What...
What part of Mom did I drink?

Maybe it's a-a-a knuckle

or an elbow
or... or something innocuous.

- Huh.
- [Belinda] What if it wasn't?

What if it was
another part of her?

Do not go there, Belinda.
Please, I'm begging you.

[Kourtney] Know what, guys?
Everything's fine.

I think it's going
to be just fine.

Or we could all die.
I mean, we could possibly die.

- We're not going to die.
- Hey, guys.

Is everything all right?

Yeah. We are just
bonding with my mom.

- Aww, sweetie, that's nice.
- Mm-hmm.

Oh, that's nice?

So, how's that eggnog
going down, Mitch?

It's good.
It's really good.

Uh, Peter and I are going to
need a little bit more

to pass time on the watch.

Oh, okay. Good. Now that
you're digesting my mom,

everything's good, huh?

- [ Belinda sighs ]
- What are you talking about?

[Belinda] I put my mom's ashes
in the eggnog,

and he's freaking out.

♪ Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah ♪

Pardon me?

Well, I didn't put her in your
nog. You're not her kid.

Oh.

Well, that's a bit of a relief.

Oh, my gosh. You are way too
sweet for this insanity,
aren't you, Mitch?

Why is this insane?

I can field that one,
if you like.

Wait. No, no, no.
I want my sister to tell me

why any of this is insane.

Well, I'm pretty certain
that most sane people

don't drink their mother's ashes
on Christmas Eve.

- Right, Mitch?
- It's Mitchell!

- [ Scoffs ]
- Guys, guys, guys.

Can you just keep it down
a little bit, please?

We can hear everything
up on the landing. Okay?

And we're going to have
an invasion

of little people down here if
you don't give me some eggnog.

You can have some
of my nog, Peter.

- [Peter] Thank you.
- Oh, do not drink that.

- Why is that?
- [Kourtney] Just trust me.

- You don't want to drink it.
- [Peter] Pretty sure I do.

He's pretty sure he does,
Kourtney.

Why don't you just let him?

'Cause she never
lets me do shit.

Excuse me?

Oh, come on. Don't act
all shocked and hurt.

Peter and I play golf together,

and some pretty
interesting truths

come out on the back nine.

Meaning what?

Meaning, I know what
a fucking rag you can be.

[ Clears throat ]
Thank you, Dallas.

And here's to a very pissed-off
wife for the rest of Christmas.

Cheers.
Mmm!

Peter, you just drank my mother.

I know that.

[Kourtney] What do you mean,
you know?

Because I could fucking hear
everything, all right?

I mean, you're the loudest
family in the world.

Why would you willingly
drink my mother's ashes?

Because she's
delicious. Mmm.

Hey, guys, the volume's
going up, not down.

Wait a minute, Kourtney.
I didn't call you a rag.

Yeah, not tonight,
but it's there.

It's... It's what
you all think.

It just takes a little booze
to bring it out.

And that booze has
been contaminated with
your mother's ashes.

And perhaps we all
drank the part with her
loud fucking mouth.

Don't talk about
my mother that way.

Oh, Kourtney, please.

She did have
a big fucking mouth.

Stop trying to paint a rainbow
over everything.

Okay, why is everyone
attacking me?

Oh, here it comes.
Okay. Poor you. Right?

Why don't you stand up
on your own feet

when people start
pointing out your bullshit?

What, because I can't
insult people like they can?

Yes!
Why not?!

Why would I want to?

Oh, my God!
Why wouldn't you want to?!

I'm sorry.

I... I'm so sorry.

That just...
It just slipped out.

Just get a little mom
in the nog there?

[ Footsteps upstairs ]

- Oh, shit.
- Oh, gosh. The kids!

Uh, report to the post,
Mitchell.

Mitchell, grab the Taser.

Aah!
Oh! Damn it!

If I had a Taser,
I would have used it tonight.

What are you trying to say,
Dallas?

That you would Tase me
for putting Mom in the nog?

Would you stop being
so pathologically

at peace with all this?

Don't you have
any respect for her?

Of course I do. Why do you think
I wanted to drink her?

I...

I can't believe we're related.

I can't believe
you came out of my mother.
