1- Did you move something? – No.
2
It’s funny, I just have this strange feeling,
3
like… something’s missing.
4
Everything’s here, just as you left it.
5
I guess it’s just been a long time.
6
You sure you’re gonna be OK?
7
Yeah. I’m gonna be good.
8
– So I’ll see you guys Saturday. – OK. The girls’ll bake for you.
9
Hi.
10
Don’t worry, I’m…
11
I just wanted you to have your garden.
12
How did you get up here?
13
Spare key. Under the fire extinguisher.
14
Look, the last thing I want to do is scare you.
15
Goodbye, Lizzie.
16
Wait.
17
Yeah?
18
The key. I need the key back.
19
Oh, right.
20
How do I know you?
21
Maybe from your dreams.
22
If you could ever really touch me,
23
I might wake up from all of this.
24
It wasn’t a dream.
25
No.
26
David.
27
Yeah. Yeah.
28
Righteous.
1- Take a right up here. – Right here! Right, right, right!
2
The elevator!
3
Hold it! We need you to…
4
Oh, shit.
5
Stop right there! Stop! Stop! Stop! Hold it!
6
Come on! Hey, hey, hey!
7
– David. – Elizabeth.
8
Oh, my God, David. My breathing tube is gone.
9
What? No!
10
– Well, what can I do? – It’s too late. It’s happening.
11
– No. – It’s strong.
12
Be stronger.
13
It’s pulling me away.
14
No!
15
Stay with me!
16
– I got ya. – Elizabeth!
17
– No! – David.
18
– Give me a sedative! – Help her!
19
– Gimme five of Haldol. – Help her! Elizabeth!
20
– Hold him. – No! Elizabeth!
21
What’s going on?
22
– That’s not possible. – Yeah.
23
That’s not possible.
24
Elizabeth? Can you hear me?
25
I can’t believe we almost let you go.
26
Honey? It’s me, Abby.
27
– Abby. – Yeah.
28
I think I bumped my head.
29
It’s OK.
30
Hey.
31
Hello.
32
It’s me.
33
I’m sorry, I don’t…
34
Honey, it’s David. You don’t remember David?
35
The apartment.
36
The rooftop.
37
Garden.
38
Nothing.
39
Honey, you don’t remember him at all?
40
– Aunt Elizabeth, come on! – Come on!
41
We only rented it for a month.
1- I can almost feel that.
2
Me too.
3
I think I know what my unfinished business is.
4
What?
5
You.
6
Elizabeth.
7
Elizabeth?
8
– Elizabeth?! – I’m right here.
9
Oh, good, good. I thought you were gone.
10
Suddenly I know what I’m supposed to do,
11
because this time I can do something.
12
What are you talking about?
13
Lizzie, when we first met, I kept saying that you were dead.
14
But it was me that was dead, and you brought me back.
15
You saved me.
16
And now it’s my turn to save you.
17
How?
18
I’m gonna steal your body.
19
David.
20
David. David, what are you thinking? You can’t do this!
21
– Why can’t I? – Because you’ll go to jail.
22
So? If something happens to you, you think I care where I’ll be?
23
At least this’ll buy us a little more time.
24
The things you’d have to know to even start to pull this off…
25
You know them. You’ll talk me through it.
26
OK, you’re gonna need a van.
27
And somebody with no morals.
28
– What are we moving again? – Medical supplies.
29
You didn’t tell him? You have to.
30
You know, he looks really familiar to me.
31
– You saw him at the bar. – Saw who at the bar?
32
No one, never mind. Here we go!
33
OK, and we’re in such a hurry to move this stuff because why?
34
There’s a one-day sale on hospital beds. I always wanted one.
35
Oh, great. Now you’re gonna become a bed potato.
36
– You’ve gotta tell this poor guy. – Not yet.
37
– Not yet what? – We’re not there yet.
38
OK, Dave, be honest with me.
39
Has your imaginary friend come out to play?
40
OK, grab a cart.
41
You need a blood pressure cuff
42
and a portable ventilator, right there, that yellow thing.
43
Dave, what the hell are you doing? This isn’t a sale, man!
44
All right. I knew you wouldn’t come if I told you.
45
– Do I really want to hear this? – My imaginary friend is not imaginary.
46
She is the spirit of a girl in a coma upstairs
47
who they’re about to take off life support.
48
We’ve got to get her someplace safe.
49
– Really? – Really.
50
– You should’ve told him. – He wouldn’t have believed me.
51
– Does he believe you now? – I had to get him into the hospital!
52
Let me take you to the psych ward. There are people who can help!
53
No time. It’s 11:30 right now. She’s gonna be dead in half an hour!
54
Tell him I know this is a stretch.
55
Elizabeth is standing right behind you right now.
56
She knows what a stretch this is for you.
57
If your friend’s really behind me,
58
ask her what I’m doing: rock, paper or scissors?
59
– Rock. – Rock.
60
– Scissors. – Scissors.
61
– Paper. – Paper.
62
– Rock again. – Rock again.
63
– He’s flipping me off. – Are you flipping her off?
64
– You’re flipping her off! – How…?
65
OK. OK, sometimes people with emotional
66
and mental disturbances can have psychic moments.
67
But even if she was real,
68
do you know what you’re risking for this woman?
69
– Yes! – Why?
70
Because I love her.
71
I love her.
72
I do, I love you.
73
No one’s ever said that to me before.
74
– David? – What?
75
– Tell him thank you. – We’re really grateful, Jack.
76
I’m not doing it for you.
77
Then why are you doing it?
78
Because someday, trust me, I’m gonna need help moving a body.
79
When that day comes, I don’t wanna hear any shit from you.
80
OK, get me on the gurney, quick.
81
Oh, my God. David.
82
I know. She’s pretty, right?
83
That’s really sweet, but we’ve gotta go.
84
No, that’s not it. This is her.
85
This is the woman I set you up with, the woman you stood up that night!
86
I was gonna meet Elizabeth?
87
And she didn’t make it either, because she had an accident.
88
It was you.
89
Is that it? Is that why?
90
I was supposed to meet you.
91
How did you know her?
92
I’m friends with her sister. We went out.
93
– I knew I’d seen him. That’s J.J.! – Jack is J.J.?
94
What did you…? No one’s called me J.J. since college.
95
He’s older and hairier, but it’s him.
96
The one who tongued Abby at the wedding?
97
– How the hell did you know that? – It’s Elizabeth.
98
– Oh, my God. She really is here. – I told you!
99
Get her on the gurney! I don’t want them killing Abby’s sister! Come on.
100
OK. Be really gentle.
101
Yeah.
102
I’m here already.
103
– That’s Brett. – He’s 15 minutes early!
104
– Soon as the sister shows, we’re ready. – He’s coming in.
105
That’s OK. All right.
106
– Careful, he’s smart. His name is… – Dr. Rushton?
107
– Yeah. – Well, hi, David Abbott.
108
Buy some time. Tell him you’re a doctor.
109
I’m a doctor.
110
You’re a special consultant from PAO Medical.
111
I’m a special consultant from PAO Medical.
112
Dr. Walsh sent me down for a final evaluation.
113
I had no verbal or written instructions to that end.
114
There’s new evidence to support that full…
115
Functionality can be restored. We need to run some tests.
116
Who’s we?
117
Tell him your team is downstairs.
118
My team is downstairs with a signed order from Dr. Walsh.
119
– You got it. – This is the first I’ve heard of this.
120
You won’t mind if I talk to Dr. Walsh?
121
Go confirm with him. We’ll wait right here.
122
I’ll just get him on the phone.
123
– David! – OK, I’m not convincing as a doctor!
124
Oh, God, David, the felonies just keep piling up!
125
– That way, David. – Go this way.
126
– Brett! – What happened?
127
Are you OK?
128
This is Dr. Rushton. I need security on the third floor.
129
Don’tjostle. But go faster.
1- Right next to me?
2
– Right there. – David, stop.
3
No, let me do this. I don’t know how or why,
4
but somehow I can see your sister’s spirit.
5
I know it’s crazy, but I also can talk to her.
6
So why don’t I have herjust explain the whole thing to you,
7
and I’ll translate.
8
Could you just hold on, just a sec?
9
OK, tea party’s over. Time for Wiggly Safari!
10
Yeah!
11
– OK, David, this could work. – I think I was getting through to her.
12
– You need to get her to the hospital. – Right to the hospital.
13
– We’ll get her to rip those papers… – Get the hell outta here, you freak!
14
I’m not making this up! Why would I?
15
Abby, calm down, just calm down!
16
I’ll chop you! I swear, I will chop you!
17
– Tell about J.J. – I know about J.J.
18
– What? – I know what you did with J.J.
19
I’ll tell everybody.
20
How do you know that? Nobody knows that!
21
Get outta here! Get going!
22
You kids OK?
23
Mommy, is Auntie Elizabeth gonna have more tea?
24
What?
25
I don’t think your sister’s a very spiritual person.
26
She’s just being a good mom.
27
Trying to keep her kids away from a crazy guy.
28
I think I would have liked to have been a mom.
29
You’d make a good one.
30
Thanks.
31
Guess I’ll never really know.
32
Come on, Lizzie. This can’t be it.
33
– Lizzie? – OK, I’m sorry.
34
I know you don’t like to be called that.
35
I’m warming up to it.
36
I can go to that hospital.
37
I could talk to your friend, Fran. I could…
38
– No, David. – … talk to the asshole guy.
39
Brett? No. Just stop, They’ll put you in a straitjacket.
40
There’s no way anyone’s gonna believe I’m still here.
41
Your niece, the little girl. She saw you.
42
Oh, great.
43
My fate’s in the hands of a four-year-old
44
who has seven other imaginary friends.
45
Wait. There is someone else.
46
What do you mean?
47
Come on.
48
– Darryl! – Dude.
49
– Yeah. – The spirit’s with you, isn’t it?
50
You can’t bring that here. What are you thinking?
51
– You were right. She’s alive. – Righteous.
52
She’s in a coma. Her family’s gonna take her off life support.
53
Not so righteous.
54
So, what, are you guys socializing now?
55
We’ve… acclimated.
56
Yeah, I can tell.
57
In fact, I’m sensing some pretty intense feelings she has for you, bro.
58
– Really? – No, I don’t.
59
Major red aura. Somebody’s embarrassed.
60
– I am not. Can we focus here? – OK.
61
– Ask him if there’s a spell… – Or a chant. Anything to get…
62
– My spirit… – … back into her body?
63
– You’re asking the wrong question. – Why is that wrong?
64
Look, I have the gift.
65
I didn’t ask for it, but I do.
66
I can sense these things,
67
spirits, whatever you wanna call ’em.
68
Why they’re hanging here in the first place?
69
– That’s their unfinished business. – Do I have the gift?
70
Dude, please. You definitely don’t have it.
71
You’re a civilian.
72
But if I don’t have it, how is it that I can see her
73
and talk to her when no one else can?
74
– Exactly. – Exactly what?
75
That’s the right question.
76
What the hell is he talking about?
77
God, I feel like it’s right there in front of us.
78
I just can’t get a handle on it.
79
How do you solve a problem that isn’t possible in the first place?
80
Because nothing seems impossible to me anymore.
81
I mean, why did I move into your apartment in the first place?
82
Why can I see you when no one else can?
83
I mean, why was I down in that restaurant when that guy collapsed?
84
It all seems interrelated somehow.
85
– What are you doing? – I don’t know.
86
I feel like I missed something here. Wait a second.
87
Rosemary Preston lives right here in San Francisco.
88
We could go talk to her.
89
I’ll call Information, maybe she’s listed.
90
Where did you get this?
91
It was just at the hospital.
92
Yeah. I…
93
I took it.
94
I’m sorry. I…
95
I just…
96
I wanted to have a picture of you.
97
I wasn’t sure that I was gonna ever see you again.
98
I’m sorry.
99
Don’t be sorry.
100
That’s really nice.
101
I really like that picture.
102
Yeah. Yeah, I liked it too.
103
I had just gotten my MOAT scores back.
104
Well, you must’ve done well.
105
No, actually, I bombed. My scores were so low
106
I couldn’t even get into correspondence school.
107
– And that’s a good thing? – No.
108
I know it sounds kinda crazy. I wanted to go back to the library
109
and start studying immediately, but Abby said no.
110
The only thing to do was to burn my scores
111
and drink margaritas.
112
Lots and lots of margaritas.
113
Well, looks like she was right.
114
It’s just funny because the one time I completely failed at something,
115
I had more fun than I’d ever had in my life.
116
You look happy.
117
I was happy.
118
But what was I doing with the rest of my time?
119
When I think about my life and I…
120
All I can remember is working.
121
You know? Working and working
122
and trying so hard.
123
And for what?
124
You help people.
125
You save lives.
126
Yeah. Including my own.
127
I saved my life, for later.
128
I just…
129
I never thought there wouldn’t be a later.
130
No, don’t say that. There’s still time.
131
We’re gonna see this lady…
132
You know, I just don’t want to spend my last night crying.
133
Or… fighting my fate.
134
I wanna do something with you.
135
OK. OK, great.
136
What do you want to do?
137
You want to fly to Paris?
138
See the Eiffel Tower? No problem.
139
You wanna dance on a beach in Bali? Let’s go! Let’s do it!
140
Anywhere in the world
141
that will take MasterCard or Visa.
142
Anywhere.
143
There is something that I would like to do.
144
Anything.
145
I’m so bad at this.
146
What? What is it?
147
Are you nervous?
148
– A little. – Why?
149
I don’t know.
150
How can you be nervous when I can’t even touch you?
151
I think I’m more nervous because you can’t touch me.
152
Why?
153
You know in the hospital when you touched my hand?
154
I felt it.
155
I mean, my spirit felt it.
156
I don’t know how.
157
But I think if you could ever really touch me…
158
…I might wake up from all of this.
1- What was she like?
2
You know, she was just a big pain in the ass.
3
No, really.
4
I mean, the bras on the doorknobs,
5
leaving the car with the… with the gas needle below empty.
6
She couldn’t put gas in the car. It was impossible for her.
7
And just total stubborn inability to master a remote.
8
So she would just randomly click buttons,
9
until the TV was snarled into some unmanageable condition.
10
I mean, I’m so…
11
I’m mad just thinking…
12
…thinking about her.
13
I’m sorry, David.
14
Your sister really wouldn’t sign those papers, would she?
15
I don’t know.
16
I hope not.
17
Won’t even matter if I don’t wake up soon.
18
My brain activity’s decreasing every day.
19
Maybe that’s not such a bad thing.
20
You’re kind of a smarty-pants.
21
No, it’ll bring you down to my level.
22
You’re not dumb, David, just a little lazy.
23
Cute, but lazy.
24
Thank you.
25
I wasn’t always like this, you know.
26
What were you like?
27
Come on.
28
I want to show you something.
29
– Where are we? – It’s an estate.
30
The guy’s in Hawaii this time of year.
31
– Are we trespassing? – Don’t worry, we’re not going inside.
32
Here it is.
33
You said you love gardens.
34
What is this place?
35
I made this place.
36
This is my work.
37
I was a landscape architect. I had my own company for awhile.
38
David, I’ve been here before.
39
What do you mean?
40
I know this is gonna sound really strange,
41
but I dreamed of this place.
42
These flowers, everything.
43
It’s beautiful.
44
I had no idea, David.
45
What a joy it must be to create a place like this.
46
Yeah, it was.
47
Is it gonna be again?
48
Sure.
49
Promise?
50
Who the hell’s calling me?
51
Hello?
52
David, it’s Grace.
53
Well, you are the luckiest man in San Francisco.
54
Thank you. Why do you say that?
55
Great news, the apartment is yours.
56
And they’re willing to give you a nice long lease.
57
How long a lease?
58
Really long. And I’m gonna send it over,
59
– and I’ll talk to you tomorrow. – Wait, wait, wait.
60
Why are they giving me a long lease now?
61
It’s a terrible story. The tenant was in some kind of coma,
62
and it is what it is, so they’re gonna pull the plug.
63
But get this: they are gonna throw in that couch you like.
64
– David? – What?
65
We gotta go talk to your sister.
66
Why? What are you gonna say to her?
67
I don’t know. What kind of dirt do you have on her?
68
Her middle name is Ellen.
69
In the third grade she told everybody it was Leia, like Princess Leia.
70
What else?
71
She’s lactose intolerant.
72
All right, the only way this is gonna work
73
is if I could tell her something that only you know.
74
Something so intimate, so personal…
75
She French-kissed her ex-boyfriend J.J. five minutes before her wedding.
76
Oh, that’ll work. That’s good.
77
– Nobody knows that. – That… I think I like her already.
78
So, how did you know Elizabeth? You must’ve worked together.
79
– God knows she wasn’t dating anybody. – Everybody likes to rub that one in.
80
Actually, this is gonna be a little difficult to swallow…
81
Tea!
82
My nieces are here? They’re supposed to be at school.
83
– Hi. – Would you like some tea, sir?
84
Well, yes, thank you, madam.
85
Abort. Don’t do this in front of them, it’s gonna freak them out.
86
I’m sorry, you were saying? How did you know her?
87
– Lie your butt off. – We worked together.
88
– No! – No.
89
No, no, no. You’re not credible as a doctor. Make something up.
90
I mean, I didn’t work with her. We worked together on my illness.
91
I was a patient of hers.
92
Lily? Can you see me?
93
I was sick. I had meningitis.
94
Spiral meningitis.
95
I’m so sorry.
96
Spiral meningitis? It’s not a disease.
97
Oh, no, it’s OK. I’m much better now.
98
I…
99
Elizabeth, she believed in me,
100
believed that I would recover when nobody else did.
101
And then I did.
102
That sounds just like her.
103
But why are you telling me this?
104
Because I know about Elizabeth’s situation,
105
and I just wanna say that…
106
Lily.
107
– … there are things… – You know I’m here, don’t you?
108
…sometimes that…
109
…that are beyond our understanding.
110
And so, I just wanted to ask you…
111
Actually, I just want to beg you
112
to… to give her a little bit more time.
113
She’s gonna pull through this thing.
114
I just know it.
115
That’s really sweet of you to say,
116
but… it’s kinda too late.
117
Abby.
118
– What do you mean? – Abby, what did you do?
119
It’s David, right?
120
You see, it’s too late because I’ve already signed the papers.
121
Abby. I’m here.
122
Can you feel me? I’m right here.
123
We’re terminating life support tomorrow at noon,
124
while the girls are in school.
125
I mean, the past three months have been so hard on them,
126
on this whole family.
127
Well, I understand that. I really do.
128
But I think you’re making a grave mistake here,
129
– because I really believe… – It’s for the best. Really.
130
This is what Elizabeth wanted.
131
I mean, I spent my whole life thinking I knew what was best for her.
132
What she should wear, what men she should date.
133
This is the last thing Elizabeth asked for.
134
And for the first time in my life, I’m gonna respect her wishes.
135
Oh, Abby.
136
Look.
137
This is gonna sound really strange to you, but…
138
Oh, no, no, no.
139
…the truth is Elizabeth is here with us right now.
140
She came here with me, she’s standing next to you, begging you to wait.
1- I hope you feel better. – Get well soon.
2
I love you.
3
I remember when you pushed us…
4
It’s so sweet you guys come and visit me.
5
– And I really miss… – Excuse me.
6
– Mrs. Brody, hi. – Hi.
7
Dr. Rushton. Could I have a quick word?
8
– Sure. – What do you want?
9
First of all, I hope you know how much we all love and miss Elizabeth.
10
Please. He’s doing high fives he’s not in Phoenix.
11
Because she was a senior resident here,
12
we’ve taken some extraordinary measures
13
to make her feel more comfortable these last three months.
14
Lily! Turn it back!
15
Zoe, what did we talk about?
16
Watch your sister. Sorry.
17
This is hard to say.
18
When we come to work here,
19
we are asked to sign release forms.
20
OK.
21
I don’t like the sound of this.
22
Did you know your sister’s opinion about artificially prolonging life?
23
– No. – She was against it.
24
Really?
25
OK, that was before. I am completely for it now.
26
Honestly, most in our profession feel that way.
27
Not me! I’m perfectly happy.
28
Come on, Abby!
29
You have got to feel me, I’m your sister!
30
But there’s still some brain activity, isn’t there?
31
People have woken up from this kind of coma.
32
– All the time. – Not on any record I’ve found.
33
Of course they have! Otherwise, what am I doing here?
34
I feel car sick.
35
– What are you doing? – We’re looking for the stick.
36
What stick?
37
– You said she had a stick up her… – Stop it! Come on.
38
TV is going to become a very dim memory for you two.
39
Mrs. Brody, Elizabeth did sign a release.
40
Because of the special situation,
41
we won’t take any terminal action without your explicit approval.
42
Now, I’ve prepared this paperwork…
43
Don’t sign that. I’m here!
44
– … if you decide to sign… – I’ll think about it.
45
Abby, I’ll baby-sit more, I swear!
46
Those jeans you love? They’re yours!
47
We sometimes find that it’s easier
48
just to ask God’s forgiveness and not prolong the inevitable.
49
I said I’d think about it.
50
Thank you, Abby.
51
You always looked out for me.
52
You here?
53
I guess not.
54
I’m locked out.
55
Doesn’t this location make San Francisco bearable?
56
Wait, you’re not from here, are you? Oh, good.
57
And what’s with all the single men in this town?
58
Every time I meet a good-looking guy… lesbian.
59
It’s tough.
60
I’d get on the phone and I’d be like,
61
“Hello? Osama?
62
Communism is so over.
63
Like, give your people toilet paper. ”
64
So, like, if I had to choose?
65
If I had to choose.
66
Wow.
67
I guess I’d have to go with the midget.
68
I’m sorry…
69
The locksmith, does he know to ring my unit?
70
I think so.
71
Where’s your bathroom?
72
– It’s right down the hall there. – OK.
73
– Elizabeth! – Yeah.
74
No, I just… I didn’t think you were gonna come back.
75
I thought you were gonna stay at the hospital with your body.
76
It’s terrible. They’re trying to get my sister to sign papers
77
authorizing permission to take me off of life support.
78
– No! What? They can’t do that! – I know. I said that.
79
Nobody could hear me.
80
And I just wanted to talk to you.
81
– David! – Just a minute!
82
Well, that didn’t take very long.
83
No.
84
No, she barged in.
85
She got locked out of her apartment.
86
– You don’t have to explain. I get it. – No, you don’t get anything.
87
She’s using the bathroom…
88
Her voice sounded like it came from the bedroom.
89
It did?
90
Come here. I want to show you something.
91
When you know, you know, right?
92
I had no idea that’s…
93
You had no idea she was naked on your bed.
94
No.
95
You’re wondering what she looks like.
96
– No, I’m not. – A little?
97
Not enough to go look.
98
Tell you what. I’ll do a little recon for ya.
99
– Please don’t! – Don’t worry. I’m a doctor.
100
– Elizabeth. No, no, no, no, no. – Relax.
101
She’s got a tattoo on her ass.
102
It says “All aboard. ”
103
– Really? – In three languages.
104
– Oh, that’s funny. – She’s very cultural.
105
You know, you sound jealous.
106
– Oh, please. – You do.
107
Are you talking to someone?
108
– Hey, what’s going on? – Eyes up top, David.
109
Nothing.
110
Look, I’m sorry if I’m coming on a little too strong.
111
That’s just my style.
112
I hear you sometimes.
113
Up here…
114
…by yourself…
115
And I just figured…
116
…maybe he’s lonely.
117
I know I am.
118
Is it wrong for me to want to touch someone?
119
To be close?
120
Feel a warm body next to me?
121
David, just do it.
122
What?
123
Go ahead, be with her. It’s what you both want.
124
– No, it isn’t. – Are you all right?
125
Do you… wanna take some kind of medication first?
126
It’s cool if you do.
127
David, it’s OK.
128
She’s beautiful, and she’s right here in front of you.
129
– And I’m in the way. – No, you’re not.
130
Elizabeth. Elizabeth!
131
It’s Katrina.
132
That was quick.
133
Come on, nothing happened.
134
What’d you say to her?
135
That I was seeing someone.
136
Honestly?
137
Well, I didn’t mention that I was the only person who could.
138
You know, I haven’t…
139
…haven’t really been with anyone since…
140
…since Laura.
141
She was cursing at her shoe.
142
Her heel had broken.
143
And then she just kinda sat down
144
and put her hand to her head.
145
Cerebral hemorrhage?
146
And…
147
I couldn’t do anything to help her.
148
She was, like, gone.
149
I couldn’t even say goodbye, and she was just…
150
She’s gone.
1- They wouldn’t send us here if it wasn’t bad.
2
– Mr. Abbott? – Hi, yes.
3
– Fran Lo. – Nice to meet you.
4
You’ve been inquiring about Elizabeth Masterson?
5
Right. Could you tell me what happened to her?
6
I need to know your relationship with her.
7
Tell her you’re my boyfriend. She can’t tell you anything
8
unless she knows we’re intimately connected.
9
We were romantic with each other.
10
– What do you mean? – You know, boyfriend-girlfriend.
11
I know what romantic means,
12
but I… I have a hard time believing that.
13
– What? Why? – What? Why?
14
Elizabeth’s whole life was this hospital.
15
“Was”? Did she say “was”?
16
I don’t know of a single date she’d ever been on.
17
We were fairly recent. I live in her apartment…
18
– David. – Building.
19
So, you don’t know about the accident.
20
Accident.
21
Oh, God, David. I remember it.
22
It was awful.
23
I was… I’ve been away.
24
It was three months ago.
25
Three months.
26
I’m sorry.
27
I was away for awhile on a business trip.
28
Oh, my God.
29
What was that? You were, like, flying.
30
Oh, my God. It’s you.
31
It’s you, it’s really you.
32
You’re… you’re not dead, you’re alive.
33
I know, David, but I’m in a coma. This is not good.
34
Well, it’s way better than dead.
35
Look at you. Your body is healing, it’s…
36
You don’t have any scars. You look pretty.
37
It doesn’t matter how I look.
38
Three months, that’s a persistent coma.
39
We’re here now. Let’s do something.
40
Like what?
41
Like… I don’t know. You’re the doctor.
42
Right. Right.
43
– Forget it. – What?
44
I was gonna say that we…
45
I need to find a way to put myself together again.
46
OK, good, good. That’s great. How do we do that?
47
Maybe I should try this.
48
Something’s happening!
49
Yeah, yeah, yeah! I think it’s working!
50
Yeah? No.
51
Let me try again.
52
I mean, really focus on it.
53
Hold on inside there.
54
I’m not sticking.
55
It’s like I’m no longer connected to this body.
56
All right, all right, all right, all right. Turn around.
57
– What? – I want to try something.
58
OK.
59
You felt that.
60
My hand tingled.
61
You are still connected to your body.
62
The monitor doesn’t agree.
63
Machines don’t know everything.
64
Everything in my training tells me they do.
65
Then how are we having this conversation?
66
I don’t know.
67
Mr. Abbott? I’m sorry. I have an appointment,
68
and I can’t leave you here unattended.
69
Can I just have a couple more minutes, please?
70
I’m saying goodbye.
71
– Of course. – Thank you.
72
My nieces must have made these things for me.
73
Wow, that’s an amazing likeness.
74
Look at this.
75
That’s the picture from my nightstand.
76
Abby must have brought it.
77
You look great.
78
Look at me now.
79
These levels aren’t changing, David.
80
If anything, they’re decreasing.
81
– I’m gonna have to leave soon. – All right.
82
Want me to wait downstairs in the lobby?
83
No, no, that’s sweet. You should go.
84
Thank you for helping me.
85
It was my pleasure.
86
Are you sure you don’t want to come back with me?
87
After all, it is your apartment. It’s fine.
88
After I made it here, I…
89
…can’t imagine leaving myself, you know?
90
OK, I know, I just…
91
Itjust feels weird leaving you here alone.
92
I don’t know where else I belong.
93
Mr. Abbott. I’m sorry.
94
Goodbye, Elizabeth.
95
Goodbye.
96
Oh, I hate this.
97
She finally gets a life, and then…
98
You know what? That guy was cute.
99
At least she got a chance to hang with him for a little while.
100
Yeah. It woulda been awful if she’d gone through her whole life
101
not knowing what it was all about.
102
Oh, my God. Jenny?
103
No wonder I could never find you.
104
I guess you got my job.
105
Yeah. I think I’ve earned it. I deserve it.
106
Everything you thought it would be?
107
It is. And it’s time to upgrade from the 330 to the 740.
108
I’m going to the dealer tonight.
109
Hold on. It’s Walsh, I have to take this.
110
Hello?
111
Really? You want me to do it?
112
Sure, of course I can.
113
Dude, did you know I can get a built-in jack for my iPod?
114
Did you know there’s people out there dying?
115
– I’m in a coma, have you noticed? – I know. Sweet!
116
Zoe? Lily Vanilli?
117
Oh, my God, you guys got so big!
118
Beat ya!
119
– Did not! – Did too!
120
Did not! Did too!
121
How could I feel him and not you guys?
122
– Did not! – Did too!
123
– Oh, that’s funny. – Abby.
124
I remember saying no running, no screaming!
125
– Abby, can you feel me? – All right, chill, I’m serious.
126
I guess not.
1- Oh, my God. Who are you?
2
I don’t know you. I…
3
– Did my wife hire you? – I’m sorry, what?
4
I knew she’d find out.
5
Whatever she’s paying you, I’ll double it.
6
– Anything you want. – I’m not looking for money.
7
– Donald! Who is it? – That’s her. Come back around six.
8
I’ll have a check ready.
9
Wow.
10
What? You don’t think I actually had sex with that old horndog.
11
– Kinda looks that way, Lizzie. – It’s Elizabeth. And that’s disgusting.
12
Well, look on the bright side. At 6:00, I’m coming into some money.
13
– Thank you. – You’re welcome.
14
Oh, my God.
15
Maybe I was a slut.
16
A lonely, home-wrecking slut.
17
So what if I was a slut? There’s nothing wrong with a healthy sexual appetite.
18
Not at all.
19
Look who I’m talking to, Mr. Tried To Feel Me Up One Time.
20
I’m trying to agree with you.
21
– David. – What?
22
This is it.
23
You recognize it? Good.
24
OK. Come on.
25
This is Moose’s. I love this restaurant.
26
– You ate here a lot. – No.
27
– No. – I never did.
28
I remember looking in that window and wishing I could eat in here.
29
What, were you a homeless street urchin? Why didn’t you?
30
I wanted to, I just never got around to it.
31
Maybe the dry-cleaner guy was right about me.
32
Hello, can I help you?
33
No, thank you. Maybe some other time.
34
Kenny!
35
Ivan, call 911, we need an ambulance!
36
– Are you OK? – Undo his collar.
37
– Is he breathing? – I can’t tell.
38
– Maybe we should do mouth-to-mouth. – God. We need a doctor.
39
We really have to find a doctor.
40
Is there a doctor here? Anyone?
41
– Feel his chest. – What?
42
His chest, check and see if it’s bloated.
43
– How would I know? – Just do it!
44
Excuse me. Pardon me. I need to feel his chest.
45
Can you feel his ribs?
46
No, but I can if I press down.
47
– What are you doing? – Does he feel bloated?
48
– I think so. – Think what?
49
Tell them you’ll need a sharp paring knife and a bottle of vodka.
50
I need a sharp paring knife and a bottle of vodka.
51
– Ivan? – Yeah, got it.
52
– What’s wrong? – It’s a tension pneumothorax.
53
– It’s a tension nemothaxer. – Pneumothorax.
54
– Pneumothaxer. – Pneumothorax.
55
– Pneumathurman. – Never mind.
56
– Never mind! – But what is it?
57
Air is escaping out of the lungs into his chest.
58
…out of his lungs into his chest.
59
– Open his shirt. – Open his shirt.
60
– No, you do it. – I’ll do it.
61
A valve at the opening of the lungs. If it doesn’t close,
62
it constricts the lungs and compresses the organs.
63
I want you to feel for his ribs again. A little bit lower.
64
The spot between two ribs, do you feel that?
65
OK, splash some vodka on it.
66
– All right. Get the knife. – OK.
67
Can I ask everyone just to stand back a little bit here?
68
A little bit further, please. A little bit further. Thank you.
69
– What am I doing with the knife? – Make an incision.
70
You know what? No.
71
– David, this man’s life is at stake. – I… I can’t stab a man.
72
OK. There’s nothing to be afraid of.
73
You’re gonna make a hole for the air to escape.
74
So put the knife on that spot.
75
Oh, my God. How do you know this?
76
I don’t know, I just do. Now do it! Put the knife there.
77
Now, you’re gonna need to push harder than that.
78
– A little bit harder. – Oh, God!
79
OK! OK, good! That’s enough.
80
All right, now, take the pourer out of the vodka bottle.
81
– What? – You’re doing good. Now…
82
Hold on.
83
– Go. – Put the pourer in the hole you made.
84
What?
85
It’s gonna keep the wound open so air can escape. Do it!
86
– I can’t. – Do it.
87
– He’s breathing. – He’s breathing!
88
He’s breathing!
89
I’m a doctor.
90
I’m a doctor!
91
I know. Thank God. The ambulance will be here right away.
92
Ask him where the nearest hospital is.
93
Do you know where the nearest hospital is?
94
A few blocks, St. Matthews.
95
– Thank you. – St. Matthews?
96
I may have been a home-wrecking whore, but I saved lives.
97
I worked in that hospital. I know it, it sounds so familiar.
98
– I’ve never saved a life before. – It’s the best.
99
One minute you’re looking at this monitor, it says “game over,”
100
then you bring it back, a little blip and it’s there!
101
– What’s that? – That’s just a little blood.
102
David?
103
– I work here. – You did?
104
The receptionist, her name is Amita.
105
It’s all coming back to me now.
106
There’s Bill and Karen
107
and Michael and…
108
Elizabeth? You mean Elizabeth Masterson?
109
– Masterson. Yes, that’s my name. – Yes, that’s it. Elizabeth Masterson.
110
Dr. Masterson is…
111
…is not active on our staff right now.
112
Hold on. Let me talk to someone.
113
Excuse me, doctor?
114
Oh, no, she’s got the tone.
115
– What tone? – The tone.
116
You’re trying to pass the buck onto somebody else
117
to tell you your friend died!
118
Excuse me, sir.
119
I need you to go to the third-floor nurses’ station.
120
Oh, no, it’s Fran. She’s my mentor.
1- You bring Father Flanagan and the Joy Luck Club to get rid of me.
2
But I talk about you getting dumped once…
3
You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. Shut the hell up!
4
Sorry for your loss, bro.
5
A word to the wise, girl.
6
Show some respect for the dead.
7
David?
8
I’m sorry.
9
It occurred to me now that I…
10
…probably don’t know you all that well.
11
I got this place for the roof.
12
I was gonna do a whole garden out here…
13
…eventually, I think.
14
Now I’m babbling.
15
I…
16
I’m really sorry.
17
Most people who deal with loss really find it helpful to talk about things.
18
I don’t want to talk about it!
19
Anger works too.
20
Who was he talking about?
21
Laura. Her name was Laura.
22
Who’s Laura?
23
She was my wife.
24
What do you think I am, stupid?
25
What is this? Oh, come on.
26
Don’t. This is not gonna help.
27
How would you know? Have you ever been in a bar in your life?
28
The groundhog emerges!
29
I didn’t think you’d make it. All right! All right!
30
It’s Jeff, Jody, Kim, Valerie.
31
This is my buddy, Dave.
32
– Nice to meet you. – What are you drinking?
33
– Coffee. – Scotch!
34
– Don’t you dare! – Make it a double!
35
You don’t have to wait. I can start the hangover right now.
36
Yeah. Yeah.
37
He’s excited to be out. I know!
38
Friday night!
39
– You can’t drink these feelings away. – Watch me.
40
So, you OK?
41
Say goodbye, walk to the door, let’s get some food in your stomach.
42
Who made you my mother?
43
Did I…?
44
How you coming along with those hallucinations?
45
– That was nothing. – You’re not a well man, David.
46
– It’s just a lack of sleep. – Sleep? You getting any?
47
– Eight hours. – Twelve.
48
– Nine, tops. – Opium addicts are more alert than you.
49
– Will you knock it off. – Don’t you dare!
50
Don’t!
51
Last chance.
52
What are you gonna do about it?
53
Dave, buddy!
54
I’m so…
55
I’m sorry. God!
56
– You freak! – Dave, that is uncool, man!
57
Good God!
58
You’re gonna thank me for that one day.
59
For what? Making me look like a lunatic in front of all those people?
60
Why are you still here?
61
That’s a scary question. I have no idea.
62
Why are you the only one that can see me?
63
Don’t ask me.
64
All I know is when I’m not with you, it’s like I don’t… exist.
65
Oh, my God.
66
Maybe I am dead.
67
Oh, come on now.
68
I’m… I’m sorry that I said you’re dead.
69
Maybe you’re not dead.
70
Maybe you’re just very… light.
71
If I could just remember something about who I am, or was.
72
I mean, then I’d know once and for all.
73
I’m trying to figure it out. I…
74
I just can’t do it by myself.
75
You’re not asking me to… to help you, are you?
76
Look.
77
You have two realities to choose from.
78
First one being that a woman has come into your life
79
in a very unconventional way and she happens to need your assistance.
80
Right.
81
The second one is that you’re an insane person,
82
sitting on a park bench talking to yourself.
83
I think I prefer the first one.
84
OK.
85
Let’s find out who I am.
86
No. I think that apartment was vacant.
87
That was a woman?
88
Nobody live there.
89
It’s like I was a ghost before I was dead.
90
Hi. Can I help you?
91
Finally, somebody normal. I bet we were friends.
92
Hi, I’m… I’m David. I am a new tenant here.
93
Hi, David, Katrina. Come on in.
94
– She’s friendly, I like her. – This’ll just take a sec.
95
I have a question. The apartment upstairs, it belonged to a young woman.
96
Yeah, I think there was somebody up there.
97
But she was, like, totally antisocial.
98
OK, maybe we weren’t close friends.
99
Kinda like a cat lady, but without any cats.
100
Right?
101
OK, I think we’re done here. Let’s go.
102
– OK, thank you. – Look. This is so retro,
103
but I’ve got a window I can’t get open.
104
– She’s got to be kidding. – What?
105
– What? – What?
106
She wants you to come in.
107
Well, if it’s painted shut
108
and you use a screwdriver to jam it, it sometimes…
109
Oh, tried it.
110
Won’t budge.
111
No preliminaries. Incredible.
112
I’d like to help, but I have dinner plans.
113
Well, I got dessert.
114
I just threw up in my mouth.
115
Well, OK. I…
116
Nice to meet you.
117
– You too, Dave. – Thanks.
118
Why is she wearing workout clothes?
119
If you were gonna work out in the middle of the day,
120
the only reason to wear workout clothes, do you really need a push-up bra?
121
The whole point’s to strap ’em down.
122
– You’re not coming with me anymore. – Why? Something mightjog my memory.
123
Too bad. You’re like an AM radio someone shoved in my head and I can’t turn off.
124
You don’t think she was completely un-classy and predatory?
125
Those happen to be two of men’s favorite things.
126
– Why don’t you just date a pit bull? – Maybe I will.
127
– Damn it! – What?
128
I locked my key in the apartment.
129
There’s a spare key under the fire extinguisher.
130
I mean, I guess she’s sexy if you’re into that whole tall, big boobs,
131
long legs, model-y sorta thing.
132
I guess if you wanna be that guy.
133
There are five other units here,
134
and not one person even remembers what you look like.
135
Talk about being disconnected.
136
– Are you sure you really want that? – Yes, I’m sure.
137
Next drawer on the left.
138
There’s a funnel in there too, if you need it.
139
– Check it out. – What is it?
140
New leads.
141
Look, there’s an address written on here.
142
I can’t make that out. Is that a five or a six?
143
I think it’s a…
144
No, no, no, that’s a five. Definitely a five.
145
So we have an address, a dry cleaning ticket and a book of matches.
146
You know what that means?
147
– We could start a very small fire? – There’s still hope.
148
Oh, yes, these pants were jet black.
149
Armani, I believe.
150
I remember them. They were expensive.
151
Do you remember anything else about the woman? It’s important.
152
She’s pleasant, but a little dull maybe.
153
– Dull? – Dull?
154
I think of her, I think of sadness, loneliness.
155
I don’t need a psychological profile from this guy.
156
– Can we just get the pants? – Can I get the pants?
157
Item left too long. We give them to homeless shelter.
158
Are you insane? They were Armani.
159
OK, let’s go.
160
Are you coming or not?
161
They’re pants, what do you need ’em for?
162
425, I think.
163
– Look familiar? – Not really.
164
Hi.
165
Hello.
166
– Can I help you? – Hi.
167
This might sound a little odd, but I was wondering if you knew a certain woman.
168
Blond, about five-foot-one…
169
– Two. And a half. – Two and a half?
1- You think this girl died? – Well, you better hope so.
2
That’s the only way they’re gonna get off
3
this month-to-month thing and give you a real lease.
4
– That’s not exactly the reason I was… – Come on, David, grow up.
5
Look, it has a view, a fireplace.
6
People would kill their grandmothers for a lot less in this city.
7
– Can I help you with anything? – No.
8
I mean, do you believe in this stuff?
9
Well, you don’t until you do.
10
That’s a little dated.
11
I recommend the Rosemary Preston. It’s totally seminal.
12
‘Scuse me. Where’s your UFO section?
13
It’s back and to the left.
14
Ufology. It’s not even a real science.
15
So, what kind of encounter have you had?
16
– Encounter? – Ectoplasm?
17
Soniferous ether?
18
I have a killer seance book if you’re into communication.
19
Communicating is not her problem.
20
Righteous. I have exactly what you need.
21
Yeah.
22
Crap!
23
There.
24
“Spirit, awake.
25
Spirit, partake.
26
Spirit, without fear.
27
Spirit, appear. ”
28
Are… are you here?
29
Come on, I think you’re here.
30
OK.
31
I’ve got a hot, moist cup of coffee in my hand.
32
There is no coaster on this table.
33
I’m going to set it down on this lovely mahogany…
34
Don’t you dare!
35
We… We need to talk.
36
About what?
37
Has it crossed your mind that there might be something a little off
38
about the way you’ve been spending your days?
39
Actually, yes. It’s weird having a squatter in your living room.
40
I am not…
41
OK, let’s start over.
42
Hi, I’m David Abbott.
43
And you are…?
44
I am…
45
I’m Elizabeth. My name is Elizabeth.
46
You didn’t know that. You… you had to read that.
47
I think I know my own name.
48
OK. When was the last time that you remember
49
actually talking to someone other than me?
50
The other day. The other day.
51
And… And when you’re not here,
52
what do you do with the rest of your day?
53
Certainly a lot more than you do, that’s for sure.
54
Let’s not stray from the point, Lizzie.
55
Don’t call me Lizzie. I’m not in kindergarten.
56
– My name’s Elizabeth. – You think. Let me ask you,
57
has anything dramatic happened to you recently?
58
Like what?
59
I don’t know, like dying maybe?
60
How dare you say that to me?
61
OK, calm down.
62
Get your hands off of me, you pervert!
63
Calm down. I’m not… I’m not here to hurt you.
64
I’m trying to help you face the fact that…
65
– I’m not dead. – Look around you.
66
There should be a bright light.
67
– There’s no light. – Walk into the light, Elizabeth!
68
There is no light! I am not dead! I think I would know if I was dead!
69
What’s happening to me?
70
You’re dead!
71
Stop saying that!
72
Missed.
73
OK. OK, that’s enough. That’s enough.
74
You’re just giving me a headache! Get off of me!
75
OK. All right, all right.
76
It’s not my fault you’re the way you are.
77
– I just want you out of my house. – You get out!
78
Rest in peace.
79
I’m not leaving.
80
Another one, my, my.
81
Golden State playing very well…
82
I love ya Tomorrow
83
You’re only a day away
84
Tomorrow, tomorrow
85
I love ya Tomorrow
86
You’re only a day away
87
Fine!
88
The sun’ll come out Tomorrow
89
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
90
You know what? That’s it. I’ve had it with you.
91
I’ve tried to be nice, but now you’re outta here!
92
The power of Christ compels you!
93
He can’t even see me.
94
A little more left.
95
– You’re mopping that up. – More, more.
96
They’re gonna set off the smoke detector.
97
Dad, we got it!
98
All set, sir. We have the spirit.
99
A butter dish.
100
– You sure? – Oh, definitely.
101
I have him right here.
102
I’m gonna go give him a flush.
103
That’s it?
104
You just sit there?
105
Hey, you want bells and whistles or a reading?
106
Come on. He can’t see me, either.
107
– For some hideous reason, only you can. – OK, there’s something.
108
Definitely a presence.
109
How original. Tell me more.
110
It’s hostile.
111
Wants you outta here.
112
Actually, he’s not bad.
113
You should move, dude.
114
– I should move? – I would.
115
I like him.
116
No, I’m not gonna move.
117
Can’t you feel that, man?
118
There’s like this cancer-causing ray of spirit hate
119
– searing right towards your body. – This kid’s got a gift.
120
– I’m not moving! – Why not?
121
It’s not like it’s that great an apartment.
122
– What? – Yes, it is.
123
– It’s got a view. – And a fireplace.
124
Whatever, dude.
125
Yo, do you have, like, a diet anything?
126
I’m, like, 99.9 percent parched here.
127
Could really use a cola.
128
Yeah. Come on.
129
Move out? That… that can’t be it.
130
Could you talk to her and tell her she should pass on?
131
“Could you please talk to her?”
132
– I’m ignoring you. – I’m ignoring you.
133
She won’t accept that she’s dead. I told her to walk to the light.
134
She wouldn’t do it.
135
That’s because there is no light. God, you’re infuriating!
136
Wait, what’s going on?
137
You know what? Do you think I like this?
138
Do you think this is easy for me?
139
I know something’s different, something is not right.
140
– I’m walking through walls. – You know,
141
I don’t think I can help you.
142
This is one of the most alive spirits I’ve ever been around.
143
– She’s not going anywhere. – What do you mean?
144
I agree with her, dude. She’s not dead.
145
But you, whoa.
146
You gotta deal with this…
147
‘Cause seriously, that’s like the darkest aura I’ve ever seen.
148
Sucking the life right outta you. It’s killing you, man.
149
You have to let her go, dude.
150
How can I, when she won’t leave?
151
Not your spirit girl.
152
I’m talking ’bout the other one.
153
The one you’re keeping in here.
154
That’s what’s really haunting you, isn’t it?
155
– I don’t want to talk about that. – I get it.
156
You were dumped.
157
Probably for some guy who doesn’t have a couch fused to his ass.
158
Shut up.
159
You can dish it out but you can’t take it?
