Rat: What are you up to, mister Death?
Death: I was supposed to meet Pig here, but he hasn't arrived yet. Hang on while I voice dial him. Call... Pig!
Phone: Home or mobile?
Death: Call... Pig... Home! Perhaps I worded that poorly.
When you’re the Grim Reaper, you have to be really careful about using the phrase “calling [insert any name] home” unless you’re, you know, actually calling him Home to his eternal reward (or punishment). Poor Pig. Does this G.R. get do-overs?

Pig will be okay; he just needs to get outside, into the bright sunshine.:Go toward the light, Pig…

I know Siri sometimes misunderstands a voice command, but how did Death word the voice dial poorly that shocked Pig to a faint?

Debbie: Can I ask you a question?
Grim Reaper: What?
Debbie: How can we all have died at the same time?
Grim Reaper: [pointing] The salmon mousse!
Geoffrey: [to Angela] Darling, you didn’t use tinned salmon did you?
Angela: I’m most dreadfully embarrassed…
