Thinking about that episode made me want to watch it again, so I've taken the opportunity to type out the text of the eulogy for you. It's really very beautiful, particularly considering the fact that the deceased was not a well-liked man. Here it is:

"How can we honor the memory of a man like Leonard Hanlin? Well... [long pause] He was governed by the laws of physics, as are all living things. It is a scientific fact that hearts and clocks slow down as they approach the speed of light, the point at which matter is converted into energy. Dr. Hanlin's heart approached that speed on Friday evening at 7:57, according to the coroner, converting his matter into energy - into pure, white light. Though he is no longer with us, he is all around us."
