Edgar seeks relief from his miserable existence.	He asks Steve to watch for a delivery.


Edgar goes to work cleaning toilets.	He asks for a new job.

A falling anvil just misses him.	He stares down from his 20th floor apartment.

They hear frightening footsteps in the hall.	It's the angry landlord.

Edgar fixes the plumbing himself.	Death asks for Edgar but there is a miscommunication.

Edgar is told that the job he was given is his for life.	Is there anyone else he can talk to?

Well, there's the "big guy".	The big guy isn't cooperative.

Edgar's punishment is to wear a bizarre hat.	Death attempts better commun- ication but is turned away.

The credits are animated.	The hat brings a brief smile.
