Where did you get those? Nice, huh? Molly. Are they me? Look at that - a Testarossa. Whoa! Ouch! Pay off your Mustang first. (Coughs) How are you feeling? What did the doctor say? It's contagious. It's really... No? I shouldn't have come in today. (Coughs) What about the rash? The rash? Uh-hm. The rash is... also incredibly contagious. They've both been spreading. No? (Coughs) (Coughs violently) On your genitals again? Yeah. Right on the genitals. Basically everywhere. He said I shouldn't touch anyone. (Coughs) Excuse me. LIFT BELL RINGS (Coughs) You're sick.

You're right, it does. We'll paint it. We'll what? Are you OK? Mm-hm. I'm fine. What's the matter? Nothing. Are you worried about the promotion? No, not really. Then what? Is it moving in together?

JUKEBOX PLAYS ROMANTIC SONG SONG: # I get the blues 'most every night # Since I fell in love with you. # SONG: # Oh, my love # My darling # I hunger for... # What are you doing? # ..your touch... # I couldn't sleep. # A long, lonely time... # I really must have passed out. What time is it? It's 2am. # And time goes by so slowly # And time can do so much # Are you still mine? # Oh, no! (Laughs) I hope it wasn't a masterpiece. Well, it's not now. Can I help? Yeah. Get your hands wet. # I... # Let the clay slide between your fingers. # Come speed your love to me # Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea # To the open arms of the sea # Yeah # Lonely rivers sigh # Wait for me, wait for me # I'll be coming home # Wait for me # Whoa, my love # My darling # I hunger # Hunger for your touch # A long, lonely time # And time goes by so slowly # And time can do so much # Are you still mine? # I need your love # I... # I need your love # God speed your love to me... # COMPUTER BLEEPS Oh, no! What's the matter? A glitch. What's up? I can't get in. The Mac code doesn't work. I changed it. Why? Nothing. Just wanna nose around a bit. Is something wrong? Can you keep a secret? Yeah, sure. What's up? Too much money in these accounts. Too much money? That's impossible. Mmm. (Taps keys) 2-7-2-2-7-3. This will take you hours. Let me do this. No. I'll figure it out. No. It's like a vendetta now. Thanks, though. I appreciate it. OK. If you start going blind, call me. OK. Adios. Listen, what are you and Molly doing tonight? We're seeing 'Macbeth'. She likes the guys in tights. You wanna go? No, thanks. I want a full report, though. Later. Well, I loved it. I was spellbound. I could tell. So could everyone else, with your resonating snore. Did I tell you what Melissa said? Six times. It wasn't six times. Quit being so blase. OK. I'll have two pieces in her gallery. The 'New York Times' regularly reviews her gallery. He's just a frustrated critic who flunked out of art school. Who cares what they think? Eight million readers. No. They just read the sports page. Your work is really beautiful. It really is. And it shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks, just what I think. I'm going to marry you, Sam. What? What?! What?! Yep. I've been thinking about it. I've been thinking about it a lot. I think we should just do it. You're serious. Yeah. What's that look for? You...you never wanted to talk about it. Do you love me, Sam? What do you think? Why don't you ever say it? I say it all the time! You say 'Ditto'. That's not the same. People always say 'I love you' and it doesn't mean anything. But you know... sometimes you need to hear it. I need to hear it. GLASS CRACKS UNDERFOOT Let's go. What should we do? I'll handle this. What do you want?! Shit! Give me your wallet! Sam, just give it to him. OK. Just take the money. Just leave... No! Sam!

I don't know! Oh, God, Sam. Hold on! Hold on, baby! Oh my God. GENTLE HEAVENLY MUSIC Come on, man! It's all right! Give me a go. All right. One... Come on, baby! Two... There's no pulse! Sam, don't leave me! Hold on! Come on! (Sobs) Sam! (Cries) Oh, Sam, please! SIRENS APPROACH 1 SIREN WAILS P.A.: Attention. Report to the emergency room. (Medical staff talk) Miss Jensen, step this way, please. So, what happened to you? What? You're new, huh? I could tell. Are you talking to me? Relax. It ain't like before. Everything's different.

MINISTER: "I am sunk in the abysmal swamp where there's no foothold. "I have reached the watery depths. "The flood overwhelms me. "I am wearied with calling." As we say farewell to our friend Sam Wheat, we are reminded of his kindness, his generosity, his buoyancy of spirit. All that we treasure - our loved ones, our friends, our body, our mind - are but on loan to us. We must surrender them all. We are all travellers on the same road, leading to the same end. As our loved one enters eternal life, let us remember that love too is eternal, that, although we will miss him, our love lights the void and dispels darkness... (People murmur) Picked up your shirts today. I don't know why. Mr Reynolds told me to tell you hello. I broke into tears. It's like I think about you every minute. It's like I can still feel you. I'm here, Mol. (Hisses) (Screeches) What's the matter, kitty? What's the matter? Crazy cat! Sam? (Mutters) That's really stupid! I love this picture. It's great. Let me see that. It's... Sam's address book. Right. "Dave Brubeck, Newport '88." Should I toss them? No. 'No'? Molly, we hated that concert. Hey! Oh - you wanted to save those? Rollaids? Molly, what are you doing? I just miss him, Carl. Me too. Carl? Yeah? Wait a minute. Wait. What? Not that one. Which? Sorry, I didn't mean to take that. That's OK. Hey, Mol? Come along. It's like summer outside. No, I'm not up for it. A walk might help. I'd rather not. Staying in all day isn't healthy. I can't do it! Molly. You're not the one who died. I'm sorry. Don't apologise. Shit! Maybe you're right. Maybe just a short one. Attagirl. I'm sorry. Don't worry about it. Molly? WHOOSHING WHOOSHING What are you doing here? Bastard! You son-of-a-bitch! (Grunts) (Grunts) (Groans) What do you want? DOOR OPENS DOWNSTAIRS Molly? Molly, get out! God! No, Molly! No, no, Molly! No, no, please! Molly, he's got a gun! Hi, kitty! Hi! You hurt her, I'll kill you! (Pants) Mol! (Screams) Shit! Is somebody there? Hello? Hello? TRAIN PULLS IN (Gasps) What are you do... Let go! What are you doing? TRAIN HOOTS (Screams) Like trains? (Screams) Stay out! This is mine! You don't talk to me like that. (People argue in another room) Shit! (Dials telephone) It's me. Couldn't get it. She came home. A couple of days, I'll go back. Relax, I'll get it. Get what? Who are you? What do you want from us? No. You stay away from her. Do you hear me? You stay away from her!! 1 GOSPEL MUSIC WOMAN: I'm not going back... (Skipping girl chants) Turn, turn, turn around!

The man who killed me broke into our apartment. He'll go back. You've got to warn her. She won't listen. It's just a phone call. (Sighs) Look... ..you're all I've got. I'm not leaving until you help me. I don't care how long it takes. I can talk forever. PHONE RINGS Hello? Er, hi. Is this Molly Jensen? Yes. I'm Oda Mae Brown. I'm a spiritual reader.

Stop singing! I'll go anywhere you want! Just don't sing any more. Oh! I can't believe I'm doing this. What am I doing down here? I never come downtown. I HATE downtown. She's probably not even there. Where are you?! Oh. (Huffs) Which building is it? Which one? Push three. BUZZER Nobody's there. Just wait! I came here. She's not there - I'm going. Wait one minute! Sorry. (Sings) # 99 bottles of beer... # Alright! Don't sing, alright! BUZZ MOLLY: Hello? Molly! She can't hear you. Hi. I'm Oda Mae. I called last night. (Hangs up) I told you! ODA MAE: Hey, Molly! Molly Jensen. I know you can hear me! Sam wants to talk to you! This is for real. Remember the swordfish in Montego Bay? How could I know about that? I know about the green underwear that you wrote your name on. I know about the picture in Reno. Hey, Molly! Ask her about the sweater she knitted that's too big. He just told me about the sweater you knitted that's too big. Four sizes. You hear me?! MAN: I hear you! Shut up. Nobody's talking to you. Shut up. Nobody's talking to you. Didn't you ever hear of a phone? Wanna kiss my butt?! I won't wait all day. Thank God! Oh, man! Shut up! (Yells) Molly! I'm gonna count to three, then I'm outta here. One, two, three! No, wait! No. That's Molly. Molly? I'm Oda Mae Brown. I don't know this guy, Sam, but let me tell you what he did to me. He kept me up all night singing 'I'm Henry VIII, I am'. That's how he got me to go out with him. I'm sorry. I just don't believe in life-after-death stuff. Tell her she's wrong. He says you're wrong. You're talking to him now? Yeah. He just asked me to tell you that you were wrong. Where is he? I can't see him, just hear him. I'm right here. That doesn't help, Sam. I'm holding her hand. Says he's holding your hand. What are you doing? What do you think you're doing to me? Look, if you think I'd come all the way down here for my health, you're outta your mind. Sam's dead, OK? He's dead. Tell her I love her! He loves you. Sam would never say that. Ditto. Tell her ditto. What's ditto?! Ditto! ROMANTIC MUSIC ODA MAE: To tell you the truth, I don't know how I'm doing this. Confidentially, nothing like this ever happened to me before. I mean nothing! Now I can't turn it off. Is this him? This you? Yeah. Yeah. You were cute. White, but cute. Why did he come back? I don't know. Why's he still here? He's stuck. He's between worlds. Sometimes the spirit gets yanked out so quick, the essence still has work to do. Would you stop rambling?! I'm just answering her question. He's got an attitude. I don't. Yes, you do have an attitude. We're having a discussion. If you didn't have an attitude, you would not have raised your voice to me. Goddammit, Oda Mae... Don't you 'goddammit' me. Don't you take the Lord's name in vain! Relax! No, you relax! You'd better apologise. Jesus Christ! That's it! What's happening? Nobody talks to me like that. You'd better apologise! I'm sorry. I apologise. OK? Now would you sit down? Please? He's apologised. I need you to tell Molly what I'm saying word for word. Word for word. Yes. He wants me to tell you what he's saying word for word. Molly, you're in danger. You can't just blurt it out like that! And quit moving around ` you're making me dizzy. I'll tell her in my own way. Molly, you in danger, girl. What are you talking about? I know who killed me. He knows who killed him. He's Willie Lopez. I know his address. His name is Willie Lopez. He's Puerto Rican. Write it down. Write it down. YOU write it. I ain't no secretary! Do it! Huh! He's so testy! Well? It's 303 Prospect Place. Apartment 4D. 303 Prospect Place? Yeah. That's my neighbourhood. He's got my wallet, my key. He was in here. He's got his wallet, his key. He was in here. Yesterday, after walking with Carl, you went upstairs... Alright, alright! Yesterday, he was here. He saw you get undressed. Molly, it was a set-up. I was murdered. Go to the police. He was murdered. Somebody else is involved... Forget it! I want out of this. Wait. Where you going? I'm leaving! I did everything I promised. Don't follow me. I'm finished! Have a nice life. Have a nice death! Good bye. DOOR SLAMS CARL: Molly, I would love this to be true. But...you must be rational about this. Sam is no more in this room than... Look, I understand the need to hang on to him. But this is absurd. I KNOW this seems absurd! But it had to be real! How could you believe her? I watched her talking to him. I don't buy it. What about the things she knew? What things? The photo Sam took of me in Reno. We were alone. And the green underwear I wrote my name in. She said Sam knew who killed him. That he was set up. This is getting deranged! We're going off the deep end. She had a name and address. Good, Molly. Willie Lopez. 303 Prospect Place. Apartment 4D. This is sick. Oh, Carl! This is really sick. Oh, God! Molly, I don't understand how you could...could... ..swallow this crap. I mean...this guy may not exist. Maybe this woman's using you to set someone up. You're right. You're absolutely right. That's what I gotta find out. How? Sam wants me to go to the police. SAM wants you to go to the police? Jesus, Molly! What will you tell the police? That some storefront psychic's been communing with the dead?! You're talking GHOSTS here, for Christ's sake! I'm sorry. This stuff gets to me. It's OK that you don't believe me. I'm trying to, Molly. Look... ..if it'll make you feel better, I'll check this out. Try and get some sleep. OK? Alright. I'll call you in the morning. OK. Alright. Goodnight. ALARM ACTIVATES (Sighs nervously) Be careful! BANGING ON DOOR Carl. What the hell are you doing here? Who you been talking to, Willie? Talking to? What the hell do you mean? Some woman knows all about you. Where's she getting it from? I haven't told anybody. She knows where you live. Lots of women do. This isn't funny! She knows about the murder. DRAMATIC MUSIC I want you to find this bitch. Whoever she is. I want you to... Just get rid of her, OK? I've got $4 million stuck in a goddamn computer! If I don't get those codes and transfer that money soon, I'm... dead. We're both dead. Tell them you only launder money first of the month. What's wrong with you? Is everything a joke?! You killed a man. You were supposed to steal his wallet! Was that a joke? I did you a favour! That was a freebie. Look, these are drug dealers, OK? Don't blow this, Willie. I risked my job. I could go to jail. $80,000 of that money is mine. DRAMATIC MUSIC Look, just... give me the keys to Sam's apartment. I'll get the address book myself. ALARM DEACTIVATES Bastard! You goddamn bastard! Why?! Why?! You were my friend! (Sobs) CAR ENGINE STARTS I had a life, goddamn you! I had a life! MOLLY: I don't believe this stuff. But she was real. You think I'd come here if it wasn't real? You told me to bring you any new information. So here I am. I know how this sounds. I cringe when I say it! But this woman knew things she couldn't have known. Things Sam only said to me. OK, according to this psychic, there are ghosts and spirits all over the place, watching us? Hell, I'll never get undressed again! Excuse me. I got more important things to do. The guy's name is Willie Lopez. All I'm asking you to do is check it out. OK. Wait here. I'll see if he's got a record. Great. What are you doing? Where's Willie Lopez's file? There isn't one. He's probably some old boyfriend she was trying to get even with. This psychic woman's record goes back a long way. 1967 - Shreveport. Forgery, selling false IDs. Served one year, 1971. Baton Rouge - arrested for fraud, numbers racketeering. Served 10 months, 1974. Look, this is impossible! It goes on and on. She knew things - private things! How could she know that? They read the obits. She saw the word 'banker' - boom! They even go through your garbage to find things they can use - letters, old papers... No. It was real. She knew about a sweater I knitted. And songs we sang. Our trip to Montego Bay. I'm sorry. I know this is hard. People want so much to believe. They're grieving, vulnerable... ..and they will give anything for one last moment. Believe me. These people know what they're doing. I know how you must feel, but you can press charges. No. Thank you. TRAFFIC NOISE (Carl taps keyboard) (Sighs) Oh, God, let this be it. (Whispers) Yes! MAN: Hello? Eddie, it's Carl Bruner. What's up? We're all set. What do you want me to do? Transfer the money from the 12 separate accounts into a single account under the name Rita Miller. Tomorrow at 3:55pm, transfer the full account to the First Island Bank of Nassau, registry number 4869580. Call us when it's done. OK. I've got it. Just tell Mr Ballisteri there won't be any more problems. I will. Thanks. Good work, Carl. COIN CLINKS BOTTLE SHATTERS Molly, why can't you hear me? I need you! KNOCK AT DOOR KNOCK AT DOOR Who is it? It's Carl, Molly. No. Don't open the door! He's a murderer! Hi. Hey. I know it's late. Sorry to disturb you. I just feel...really lousy about what happened last night. This supernatural thing just... Don't worry about it. It's OK. No, it's not. You needed me to hear and I wasn't there for you. That was wrong. It's just, I... I just... I want you to know I'm your friend. Thanks, Carl. You were never her friend! That's important to me. Me too. So here's some Japanese pears. Thanks. That's very sweet. Could I come in for a second? Just for a coffee? Yeah, come in. No, Molly. You seem tense. Are you OK? No, I'm fine. It's just... it's been tough. You know, it just still hurts so much. You lying snake. And there's work, too. They've given me my own accounts. That's good, but I haven't had time to adjust. Kind of...absorb everything. No big deal. Yeah... Can I have some more cream? Yeah. Oh, shit! Jesus! Are you alright? Yeah. (Laughs) Oh, God! I'll throw that in the washer. No, it's OK. You want another shirt? No, it's fine. There you go. Where were you today? I thought you were going to come and sign those papers. I meant to. I didn't have time. I went to the police. (Clears throat) You did? What did you tell them? What did they say? It was awful. I felt really stupid. They had a file on this woman - 10 inches thick. A rip-off artist? No, Molly. You know, the sad thing... is that I believed her. Molly... ..sometimes we need to believe. Why? What's the point? Molly, it's not easy to face the realities of life sometimes. You've got to remember the love you guys felt. You must remember how good Sam was. Sam loved you. You were everything to him. You were his life. I feel so alone. You're not alone. OK? There's your work. You're talented, you're young... You're fantastically gorgeous. I don't know what's real anymore.
