Dead bodies.

The morgue is full of dead bodies.

Chuck always fit there, even if he wasn't a Charles (Charles and Charlotte, isn't that sweet, Vivian would say, and maybe even believe it), because what he was was a dead man walking.

Basically.

Bill was basically the opposite in every way.

If Chuck had to bet money (he was qualified if anyone was), he'd probably have to say that Bill Blazejowski would never die.

The morgue is full of dead bodies, plus two more that aren't. But they're looking at each other, lips parted, and they're still as the night.
