Top rated lines from this movie

However, look, we can offer you a special new service, whereby the remains are placed inside a rocket, and fired into space.
Above the love of the flesh, dear brethren, there is a higher love, a purer love, a Fuller love, a love which can only be described as true love.
Which service have you decided on? -Well, I don't know. -We can give you entombment, empyrement, dissemination, or eternalization. -I don't know what the hell you're talking about. -That would be embalmed, buried, scattered, or burned.
They told me you were hung... With red protruding eyeballs... And black protruding tongue.
You know, some people think of death as a negative thing, but you see how wrong they are, don't you? What could be more beautiful and more thrilling than eternal rest?
