Star Trek: Generations

When I watched the Star Trek: the Next Generation cast's first feature film--Star Trek: Generations--in the movie theatre, I remember laughing loudly when I heard that Picard's nephew, Rene, burned to death in a fire. This seemed to annoy the people near me. They must have been big Rene fans. I believe the film's dialogue went like this:

Picard: Oh, Deanna...something terrible has happened.
Troi: What is it?
Picard: Rene...has...burned to death in a fire.
Troi: (starting to tear up because she always cries over everything) Why didn't he get out in time?
Picard: He burned in his sleep.
Troi: What started the fire?
Picard: A candle fell off a table and caught on Rene's bedsheets. No one realized what happened until it was too late. It looks like my brother's decision to live like it was still the 1700's really paid off.

Someone dying in a fire is usually not very funny, but I think you've bit into this scene rather well.
