she accepts a dinner invitation from Mr. Joyboy after he secures her promotion. Thoughts of a relationship with him end quickly after she observes his bizarre and unhealthy food relationship with his morbidly obese mother. Again, acting on advice from "Guru Brahmin," she becomes engaged to Dennis. She invites him to her home, an uncompleted house built on a cliff, now condemned and abandoned due to landslides. He cuts his visit short, alarmed by some ominous tremblings and her lack of concern over her own safety. Dennis and Henry Glenworthy meet their neighbor, a boy genius with an interest in rocketry, and they let him set up at the pet cemetery. Mr. Joyboy brings in his pet myna bird to be buried and discovers the identity of his rival. He agrees to have the bird shot into orbit by one of the neighbor boy's rockets, instead of being buried. Mr. Joyboy brings Aimée to the ceremony. She is outraged when she sees Dennis performing the service, greatly pleasing Mr. Joyboy. Reverend Glenworthy, seeing little profit in the cemetery once the plots are filled, decides to convert it into a retirement home, but is unable to proceed without a plan for dealing with the interred bodies. When he learns of his brother's idea of sending bodies into orbit, he sees this as a solution to his problem. He proceeds to obtain surplus rockets by hosting an orgy at Whispering Glades with top Air Force brass as guests of honor. Dennis, in a desperate attempt to reconcile with Aimée, tells her that Whispering Glades is to be shut down. She flees, but is afraid that what Dennis told her might be true. Aimée seeks out Mr. Joyboy for comfort, but he has been called to prepare the body of an ex-astronaut nicknamed "The Condor" that will be launched into orbit. She tracks down "Guru Brahmin", but he drunkenly advises her to jump out a window. She flees to the cemetery and finds Reverend Glenworthy, who confirms Dennis' story. He tries to seduce her by promising continued employment with higher pay at his new facility. Wholly distraught, her faith in everything she once held sacred now shattered, she dies peacefully after attaching herself to an embalming machine. Mr. Joyboy finds her body, but is afraid of a scandal, so he calls Dennis to arrange for her disposal in the pet cemetery's crematorium. Dennis
