I love the bells in the beginning, it sets the tone really well. (I hope those are bells, otherwise I'd feel really silly.) Reminds me of the stories of the bells being rung when Presiden Kennedy was shot and For Whom the Bell Tolls. I also love the "I died today, but I'm still breathing" line. Brian looks more devastated in this scene than he did earlier in the episode when he was a fall down, drunken mess.
