(Sampled from the 1971 cult film Harold and Maude)
Harold: the first time was when I was at boarding school -- in the chemistry lab. I was in there, cleaning it up, so, uh, I decided I'd do a little experimenting, you know. So I get all this stuff out and begin mixing it up. It's very scientific. (laughs) There was this massive explosion. It knocked me down. It blew out a huge hole in the floor. There was boards and bricks and flames leaping up. I figured, you know, time to leave. My career in school was over. So, uh...I went home. My mother was giving a party so I just went right up the backstairs into my room. Turned off the light, and uh, I got this funny feeling. The doorbell rang. I went out into the banister, and these two policemen came in, found my mother, and, uh...told her that I was killed in the fire. She put one hand up to her forehead...the other one, she reached out as if groping for support and with this long sigh, she collapsed...
(Maude looks simultaneously intrigued and horrified. Harold looking at her, slowly breaks down and begins sobbing.)
Harold: I decided right then that I enjoy being dead.
Maude: I understand. A lot of people enjoy being dead. But they're not dead, really. They're just... backing away from life.
