A Man is struggling to cut up a dead body in his bathtub. He has an electric carving knife, but it's not going well. It keeps stalling & then he has to pry it out of a bone or thick cartilage. He's getting blood all over the carpeting as he trudges back & forth to the kitchen to get different knives. Then there is an insistent knocking at the door. When he asks who it is; The woman on the other side of door rants inarticulately. Then begins knocking and kicking at the door again. He tells her to go away, but she is all the more insistent. She demands to know who he is. Surprisingly; She does not call the police, but just continues to knock frantically at the door. Finally; He opens the door and Although he is covered in blood, she storms past him and demands to know where Lisa is. She is in the bathtub, partially dismembered. He takes the woman to the bathroom and shows her Lisa. The woman exclaims hysterically; “What the Hell is going on here!?” He plunges a large knife that he’s been holding all along, into her back and then sighs deeply. He drags her over to the bedroom and wraps her in a quilt, then sits on the edge of the bed. He picks up a thick yellow pages book and thumbs through it until he finds a carpet cleaning service. He calls one of the numbers and tells the woman on the phone that he has recklessly butchered a pig in his bathroom, and made a terrible mess. How much would it be to clean all the carpeting? He writes down a few figures that tells the woman that he’d like them to come over the next day. She tells him to keep the stains damp with towels and says that they can’t come over any sooner than the day after that, so he concedes that that would probably been best and hangs up, then returns to the bathroom and begins sawing away at Lisa.
