MARTY
when i die, i want all my organs donated and then for my body to be cremated.
TROY
really?
MARTY
yes. really!
TROY
ok. it's done.
(long pause)
MARTY
and ...
TROY
and what? i said i was on it.
MARTY
no, what about you? what would you like done when you die?
TROY
i want to be frozen.
MARTY
frozen?
TROY
yes. frozen.
MARTY
i'm not going to freeze you.
TROY
why not?
MARTY
it's not practical.
TROY
it's as practical as giving all your pieces away.
MARTY
it's nothing like donating my organs.
TROY
marty, the flaw in your thinking is your organs are not yours to donate. you didn't acquire them. they were given to you and you don't fully understand the nature of that gift and therefore are not technically in a position to redistribute the pieces. what happens when you die and show up at new dead person orientation and they go to send you on to your next assignment and see that you're missing half your stuff? they're going to freak. and they're going to tell you exactly what i just told you. that stuff wasn't yours to give away and now you're screwed because you needed those parts where you're going and now you don't have them. way to go miss garage sale.
MARTY
i'm not having you frozen.
TROY
you have to. you asked what was my wish and that is my wish, so now you have to.
MARTY
do you have any idea how much it costs to cryogenically preserve a human being?
TROY
i'm insured.
MARTY
not by me you're not.
