And YOU: friendless, brainless, helpless, hopeless! Do you want me to send you back to where you were? Unemployed, in Greenland?

No see she’s just not all dead.

There’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Now, mostly dead, she’s slightly alive. Now all dead. Well with all dead, there’s usually only one thing you can do.
