The Son Also Rises

Hank Griffin: You ever thought about what you want done?

Sergeant Wu: With what?

Hank Griffin: You. Being cremated or buried.

Sergeant Wu: Not really, you?

Hank Griffin: Yeah. Last thing I ever want is to wind up in the ground. I get claustrophobic just thinking about it. Cremate me, spread my ashes over the Willamette river, and let me float free to the edges of wherever.

Sergeant Wu: You know, there are a lot of cows and horses that drink from the river.

Hank Griffin: So?

Sergeant Wu: So what happens if some cow drinks from the Willamette and gets you, too, then craps you out in a field? Then some farmer comes along and tills that field. Next thing you know, you're buried beneath the cold, dark ground.

Hank Griffin: ...Don't mess with a man's afterlife.
