In _The Simpsons_ episode “Das Bus”, Otto is being swept out to sea. Before he goes under, he gives his last words: Zeppelin Rules! Your number comes up. You are around friends or strangers. But, c’mon, you’re not going to say “Tell my mother, I loved her”, you’re not going to quote Shakesphere. You’re gonna speak to something you find life worth living for; like, if _this_ wasn’t here I don’t know how I’d get through the day. What would be your last words _al la_ Otto. Seven words or less. You get extra points if you can say it in two. ---

Okay, so, I know I’m going to die, right? Right. At T-minus sixty seconds, I slump my head and go limp. Listen to those around me: “He’s gone. Sob, sob.” At T-minus twenty seconds, give out a huge gasp, lift my head, and look around with wide eyes. Fixate on somebody. Say: “You have two weeks to live.” _Then_ die. ---

😃 Along the same lines (sort of) as **Cervaise** : Look up into the great beyond with a wide-eyed, all-seeing, awed gaze as death approaches, and then announce to all weeping, wailing spectators: “I see… I see… God… God wearing… a fabulous backless Chanel and pumps…” Cue elegant death pose. ---

“Sunuvagun, what a ride!” Not an exact quote, but a great sentiment. Or am I taking this too seriously? ---

“I’m coming back. I’ll rise from the grave and wreak vengeance upon you all as one of the living dead!” Honest-to-God last line; my wife’s grandfather was on his deathbed, surrounded my his children. They were watching a Maple Leafs game, which he loved. When the third period ended in a tie he said, “Well, I guess I won’t stick around for overtime,” and immediately died. ---
