Moments before you expire, a civil servant, cleared to top
secret plus codeword level, appears and divulges a juicy state
secret to you.
Obviously, you've chosen from a menu of possible areas of
interest in return for your fee. What's more, the fee covers
medical professionals and lawyers
to be on hand to ensure
there's no chance of any leakage.
You can then pop off with a smirk on your face.

At least that's not something you'll ever have to worry about, [MB]. From what we've had the misfortune to observe of your family, the nearest analogy would be a pack of hungry jackals following an injured zebra foal. |

"Pop off" means to die right? I hope that means to die
and not something else. |

// a pack of hungry jackals following an injured zebra foal//
Pshaw. Buchanans are never hungry. |

It's an allegory ... you know what we mean, cold blooded, scaly skin, huge teeth, relative of crocodiles and cayman... |
