A new movie featuring Bill Murray, lounging around, yawning, until he is prodded to go to some social activity whereupon he is still tired and makes silly comments while showing no emotion and speaking in a tired, monotone voice.

Open with shot of Bill Murray lying in a hospital bed. A nurse enters the room. Bill Murray's eyes only move slightly to see her when she starts talking.

Nurse: “Your meal will be ready in a little bit. Sorry it's a little late…Sir, are you feeling worse, it looks like the disease has spread to every part of your body.”

Bill Murray: “Oh no. I'm just the patient's friend. He's in the bathroom. I had to come visit him because he only has a few weeks left to live.” (rolls eyes a little bit, sighs)

Nurse: “Oh. How did he even walk to the bathroom?”

CUT

Bill Murray is lying on the floor in front of the tv. He has a couch pillow under his head and is lying on the hard wood floor.

The phone rings. He doesn't get it.

He appears slightly mesmerized by the tv…that or just tired.

CUT

Bill Murray is sitting up against a tree. He is slowly picking blades of glass, examining them, and then tossing them aside. He appears contemplative, or maybe tired and not contemplative.

A teenager is standing up next to him a couple of feet away, with his arms crossed.

They are both dressed in suits, and both appear to resent the fact that they had to dress up.

Bill Murray: “You ever think maybe it shoulda been you? Maybe God or whatever's up there should've ended your meaningless existence instead of this guy's?”

Teenager: “Uh, no.”

Bill Murray: “Me neither.”

CUT

Bill Murray is lying on a weight bench facing the tv. There are no weights on or near the bench. It appears like a very uncomfortable, unnecessary place to lie down.

There is a loud, heavy knock on his door.

“Bill Murray! This is the police! Open up!”

Bill Murray shows no reaction whatsoever to the police prescence. The knocking continues. The tv show he's watching cuts to commercial. He sighs.

Fade to black very slowly.
