Meet joe black should i be afraid

William Parrish : Of course. Joe Black : So you understand the concept, Bill. Now multiply that by infinity, take that to the depths of forever, and you still barely have a glimpse of what I'm taking about.

William Parrish : [reaches out and stops him from walking in front of a honking car]. William Parrish : Do you know about money? Joe Black : It can't buy happiness? William Parrish : I want you to sing with rapture and dance like a dervish. William Parrish : You're Death? Joe Black : Yes. William Parrish : Death! Joe Black : That's me. William Parrish : [unimpressed] You're not Death, you're just a kid in a suit.

Joe Black : It came with the body I took. William Parrish : When I introduce you, and I tell them who you are, I don't think anyone will stay for dinner. William Parrish : Who is you? Did you tell her who you are? Joe Black : No. William Parrish : Does she know here she's going? You see, Susan went for that poor son of a bitch whose body you took. And everything else since has been aftermath. You say you love her but you don't know what love is.

She loves you, she doesn't know who you are. You make a deal you're breaking it. Bottom line is, Joe, you're swindling her soul, and you're doing it with your eyes wide open. Joe Black : I don't like what you're saying. William Parrish : I'm past caring what you like and what you don't like.

You're stealing my daughter and I'm not gonna let you. William Parrish : Don't blow smoke up my ass, it will ruin my autopsy. Joe Black : Bill, why at this juncture are you letting yourself be so concerned by business matters? William Parrish : I don't want anybody buying up my life's work! Turning it into something it wasn't meant to be. A man wants to leave something behind. And he wants it left behind the way he made it. He wants it to be run the way he run it, with a sense of honor, of dedication, of truth.

Joe Black : Easy, Bill. You'll give yourself a heart attack and ruin my vacation. William Parrish : [entering in his library] Hello? Is anyone here? William Parrish : I said is anyone here? Voice : Quiet down! William Parrish : Where are you? Voice : I'm here. William Parrish : What is this a joke, right? Some kind of elaborate practical joke? Heh, at my fortieth reunion we delivered a casket to the class president's hotel room and uh Voice : Where are you going, Bill?

William Parrish : I, uh Voice : The great Bill Parrish at a loss of words? The man from whose lips fall "rapture" and "passion" and "obsession"? All those admonitions about being "deliriously happy, that there is no sense in living your life without" all the sparks and energy you give off, the rosy advice you dispense in round, pear shaped tones.

William Parrish : What the hell is this? William Parrish : Who are you? Voice : Just think of millenniums multiplied by eons compounded by time without end. I've been around that long. But it's only recently your affairs here have piqued my interest. Call it boredom. The natural curiosity of me the most lasting and significant element in existence has come to see you.

William Parrish : About what? Voice : I want to have a look around before I take you. William Parrish : Take me where? Voice : It requires competence, wisdom and experience, all those things they say about you in testimonials. And you're the one. William Parrish : The one to do what? Voice : Show me around, be my guide. And in return you get William Parrish : I get what? Voice : Time: minutes, days, weeks, let's not get encumbered by detail, what matters is that I stay interested. William Parrish : You want me to be your guide?

Joe Black : You fit the bill, Bill. Quince : [Quince nods yes between stifled sobs]. Joe Black : How do you know? Quince : Because she knows the worst thing about me and it's okay. Joe Black : What is it? Quince : Do you like me, Joe? Joe Black : Oh, yes, Quince. You're one of my favorites. Joe Black : Yes it is,Bill. William Parrish : What can I tell you? That's life. Voice : Yes. William Parrish : Yes what?

Voice : 'Yes' is the answer to your question. William Parrish : What question? Voice : Oh, Bill. Come on. The question. The question you've been asking yourself with increased regularity, at odd moments, panting through the extra game of handball, when you ran for the plane in Delhi, when you sat up in bed last night and hit the floor in the office this morning.

The question that is in the back of your throat, choking the blood to your brain, ringing in your ears over and over as you put it to yourself. William Parrish : The question. Voice : Yes, Bill. William Parrish Am I going to die? Joe Black : [appearing from the shadows] Yes. Joe Black : You're the poison, Drew. You've operated behind the scenes to suborn the trust of a man who has stamped you with his imprimatur of class, elegance and stature.

I've had the opportunity to be a witness to every kind and degree of deception but Bill Parish has been on the receiving end of machinations so Machiavellian that it has rarely been my experience to encounter and yet he has combated them himself stoically and selflessly without revealing my identity.

Had he violated the vow of secrecy he took, his task would have been far easier, he could have turned defeat into victory. But he is too honorable a man to have done that. Because of me, he has lost his work, his company, his reputation, so now, given these losses, I'm compelled to end the need for secrecy. Jamaican Woman : Mr. Bad News. Joe Black : Don't be feisty, sister. Jamaican Woman : I'm not feisty, mister. You come for me? That's good news. Joe Black : No, I come to see the doctor.

Jamaican Woman : Doctor? Joe Black : Mm-hmm. Jamaican Woman : What could be wrong with you? Joe Black : Nothin'. Jamaican Woman : Ohh. You come to see doctor lady? Joe Black : Yeah, man. Jamaican Woman : My doctor lady?

Joe Black : Mine too, you know. Jamaican Woman : You're in love? Joe Black : [nods]. Jamaican Woman : You're loved back? Jamaican Woman : She know your real self? Joe Black : She know how she feel. Jamaican Woman : Backside! What the hell kind of business this is? Joe Black : Don't need you okayin'. Jamaican Woman : Schoolboy things in your head. Badness for you. Badness for her. Badness for me, lyin' here, tumor big as a breadfruit, poisonin' me inside, and waitin'.

Joe Black : Bring you flowers, and all I's gettin' is aggravation. Jamaican Woman : The only flowers I want to see Joe Black : Can't do no right by people. Come to take you, you want to stay. Leave you stay, you want to go. William Parrish : How's your working going? I mean elsewhere Joe Black : While you were shaving this morning, you weren't just shaving, you weren't just shaving.

William Parrish : What do you mean? Joe Black : You were hatching ideas, making plans, arriving at decisions, right? William Parrish : Yeah, I guess so. Joe Black : So you understand the concept. While part of you is busy doing one thing, another part of you is doing another, perhaps even attending to the problems of your work. William Parrish : Of course. Joe Black : So you understand the concept, Bill. Now multiply that by infinity, take that to the depths of forever, and you still barely have a glimpse of what I'm taking about.

William Parrish : [reaches out and stops him from walking in front of a honking car]. Joe Black : I can't believe you people. I come for you, and you want to stay, I let you stay and you want to go. William Parrish : Do you know about money? Joe Black : It can't buy happiness? I don't want you to examine me. Susan Parrish : Why? Although many moviegoers were turned off by director Mart… more ». William Parrish: Should I be afraid?
