Do you ever think of yourself as actually dead, lying in a box with a lid on it?

No.

Nor do I really. Silly to be depressed by it.
I mean, one thinks of it like being alive in a box, and one keeps forgetting to take into account the fact that one is dead… which should make all the difference… shouldn’t it?
I mean, you’d never know you were in a box, would you?
It would be just like you were asleep in a box.
Not that I’d like to sleep in a box, mind you, not without any air. You’d wake up dead for a start, and then where would you be?
In a box. That’s the bit I don’t like frankly. That’s why don’t think of it.
Because you’d be helpless, wouldnt you?
Stuffed in a box like that. I mean, you’d be in there for ever.
Even taking into account the fact that you’re dead, it isn’t a pleasant thought.
Especially if you’re dead, really… ask yourself, if I asked you straight off… I’m going to stuff you in this box now, would you rather be alive or dead?
Naturally, you prefer to be alive.
Life in a box is better than no life at all, I expect.
You’d have a chance at least.
You could lie there thinking well, at least I’m not dead!
In a minute somebody is going to bang on the lid and tell me to come out.
Hey, you! What’s yer name! Come out of there!

I think I’m going to kill you.
