Interviewer: An excerpt from Carl French's latest film. Carl, we're all a little mystified by your claim that your new film stars Marilyn Monroe.
Carl French: It does, yes.
Interviewer: Who died over ten years ago?
Carl French: Uh, that's correct.
Interviewer: Are you lying?
Carl French: No, no, it's just that she'e very much in the public eye at the moment.
Interviewer: Does she have a big part?
Carl French: She is the star of the film.
Interviewer: And dead.
Carl French: Well, we dug her up and gave her a screen test, a mere formality in her case, and...
Interviewer: Can she still act?
Carl French: Well...well, she-she's still has this-this enormous, ah-ah, kinda indefinable, uh...no.
Interviewer: Was decomposition a problem?
Carl French: We did have to put her in the fridge between takes.
Interviewer: Ah, what sorts of things does she do in the film?
Carl French: Well, we had her lying on beds, lying on floors, falling out of cupboards, scaring the children, ahm...
Interviewer: But surely Miss Monroe was cremated?
Carl French: Well, we had to use a standin for some of the more visible shots.
Interviewer: Ah! Uh, another actress.
Carl French: Dead actress. But Monroe was in shot the whole time.
Interviewer: How?
Carl French: Oh, in the ash tray, in the fire grate and vacuum cleaner...
Interviewer: So Marilyn does not appear in the film?
Carl French: Not as such.
