Much to his chagrin. Written for "The Dialogue 500" Contest
"What are you doin'?!"

"Huh? Aaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!"

"What the hell you screamin'' for, fool?"

"Mo-Moesha?!"

"Well, who the hell else could it possibly be?"

"B-But, you're d-d-d-dead--!"

"Of course, I'm dead, fool! I wouldn't have been caught dead wearin' what I'm wearin' now if I was still alive."

"H-Huh? I d-d-didn't get that last p-p-part..."

"Oh, never mind! And, why do you have that thing hangin' out of you pants?"

"S-Sorry, baby. I--"

"Put that thing away! What in God's name were you doin'? No, don't tell me. Of course I know what you were doin'. Have you lost your mind?!"

"I--I miss you so much, baby. I was lookin' at some photos of you--"

"You were looking at nude pictures of your dead wife!"

"That wasn't my intention, baby. I was just missing you; I haven't stopped cryin' for days, baby! And...and those pictures just happened to be in that box."

"Uh-huh. So, let me get this-- you were missin' me, and you were cryin', and then all of a sudden you had that thing hangin' out of your khakis?"

"I said I was sorry, baby. But, I--I couldn't help it. You know you're hot, baby."

"Look, I know I'm hot. It's a damn shame I died. But, that's not the point is it? I'm walkin' around here in some sort of purgatory, wonderin' why the hell I'm still hangin' around, and I come to find out that it's probably because I have to make sure my grievin' husband doesn't turn into some pervert who looks at naked dead people!"

"Baby, please don't make me feel bad for lovin' you as much as I do..."

"...You're right, sweetie. I know how much you loved me. Aww, don't cry. Here, let's look at the rest of those pictures together."

"Okay, baby..."

"Let's see, now...wha-- Is this Showanda?! Why the hell do you have a naked picture of my baby sister?!"

"Oh...crap..."
