With no flaws at all. [holds hand in prayer in the image of {{Creator/Mako}} while angelic chorus plays]''

->''"[[DamnedByFaintPraise He served parliament and party for more than twenty years]]" is about all you can think of, but you stretch it out and [[BlatantLies make up a few virtuous anecdotes from whole cloth]]. It's probable that nobody believes you, but decorum demands that you remain unharangued.''

->But part of the service is giving a sense that maybe its not too late to show some kindness or some heart, right, even if you never did give a fig for the dead while they was still alive, or if they never gave a fig for you, because let's face it, as great a proportion of the dead are arseholes as the living. It stands to reason, although you won't find many funerals begin with "[[BrutalHonesty he was a total pain in the neck and only half as clever as he thought]], so let's put him in the ground [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing and have a pint, and good riddance]]." I've always thought that would have a certain charm, myself.

->''"I seem to lack the skills required to grieve for the dead. If someone has passed, even someone dear to me, I could stand about and wail or get on with my life. While I'm at it, that whole idea that we must speak well of the dead? I don't understand that either. If I didn't like them when they were alive, then [[SpeakIllOfTheDead why pretend to do so when they are no longer here?]]"''
