[Ernie has restrained a zombie onto a mortuary table in order to talk to it]

You can hear me?

1/2 Woman Corpse

Yes.

Ernie Kaltenbrunner

Why do you eat people?

1/2 Woman Corpse

Not people. Brains.

Ernie Kaltenbrunner

Brains only?

1/2 Woman Corpse

Yes.

Ernie Kaltenbrunner

Why?

1/2 Woman Corpse

The PAIN!

Ernie Kaltenbrunner

What about the pain?

1/2 Woman Corpse

The pain of being DEAD!

Ernie Kaltenbrunner
[laughs nervously]

It hurts... to be dead.

1/2 Woman Corpse

I can feel myself rot.

Ernie Kaltenbrunner

Eating brains... How does that make you feel?

1/2 Woman Corpse

It makes the pain, go away!
