Sam! No!

Somebody help us!

Jesus Christ, Sam!

Just get off him!

Somebody!

Somebody help us!

Sam...

Just stop it!

Stop it, Sam!

Molly?

Molly! You got...?

Oh, baby, hold on.

You're going to be OK.

Somebody?

Somebody!

Somebody help us!

Sam...

Oh, my God!

Oh, Sam, come on.

Hold on, baby.

Somebody's gonna come.

You're going to be OK.

No... Oh, God...

Somebody?

Somebody help me!

Please, anybody!

Help me, please!

Help me!

OK, lady, take it

easy, all right?

We'll help you, OK?

Molly?

OK:

All right. Fine.

What shall we do?

What shall we do?

What's happening?

What's...

Is he...

Is he breathing?

Hold on, Sam, hold on.

Don't leave me. Hold on.

Oh, my God.

Here we go.

One...

Sam, don't you leave me!

Sam, hold on!

Jesus...

Miss Jensen, if you would

just step this way, please.

So...

What happened to you?

What?

You're new, huh?

I can tell.

Are you talking to me?

Relax, it ain't like before.

It's a whole new

ball of wax.

Who are you?

Oh, I'm waiting for my wife.

She's in the 4-C, cardiac wing.

She's fighting it.

Shot, huh?

That'll do it every time.

Poor bastard.

You may as well get used to it.

You could be here

for a long while.

Come here.

I'll tell you a secret.

Doors ain't as

bad as you think.

Zip-zap - ain't

nothing at all.

You'll see.

You'll catch on.

He ain't going to make it.

I've seen it

a million times.

He's a goner.

You see?

Here they come.

Lucky bastard!

It could have been

the other ones.

You never know.

Who are they?

No!

Help me!

Oh God.

Help me.

I am sunk in the

abysmal swamp

where there is 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

which leads to

the same end.

As our loved one

enters eternal life

Iet us remember that love,

too, is eternal.

That although

we will miss him

our love will light the void

and dispel the darkness.

I 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, Moll.

Floyd, what's the

matter, kitty?

What's the matter?

Crazy cat.

Sam?

It's stupid.

I love this picture.

It's great.

Office.

Let me see that.

- It's a...

- Sam's address book.

Right.

Dave Brubeck,

New Port, 88.

- Should I toss them?

- No.

No? Molly, we hated

that concert.

You wanted to save those?

Rolaids?

Molly, what are you doing?..

I just miss him, Carl.

Me, too.

Carl?

- Yeah?

- Wait a minute. Wait.

- What?

- Not that one.

- Wich?

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean

to put that on there.

It's OK.

Hey, Moll.

Why don't you come?

It's like summer outside.

No, I really...

I'm not up for it.

Come on, Moll, just for a walk.

It would be good for you to get out.

I don't want to.

You can't stay

in here all day.

- It's not healthy for you.

- Look Carl, I can't do it!

You're not the one who died.

- I'm sorry.

- Don't apologise.

Sh*t.

Maybe you're right.

- Maybe a short one.

- That a girl!

- I'm sorry.

- Don't worry about it.

Molly!

What are you doing here?

Bastard.

You son of a b*tch!

What do you want?

Molly?

Molly, get out!

God.

No, Molly!

No, please.

Molly!

He's got a gun, Molly!

Hi, kitty.

You hurt her...

OK...

Sh*t!

Is somebody there?

Hello?

Hello?

Let go!

What are you doing?

Like trains?

Stay out!

This is mine.

Sh*t.

It's me.

I couldn't get it.

She came home.

Give me 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?

Stay away from her!

Rosa Santiago?

Please be seated.

Our sister will

be with us soon.

Sister Oda Mae

grant us the gift of your

all-seeing presence.

Appear before us now.

Mrs Santiago?

Buenos dias.

I'm Oda Mae Brown.

I understand you wish

to contact your husband.

- Si.

- I believe he'll be with us today.

Thank you.

Thank you.

But you know,

Mrs Santiago

there's no telling about

that other world

so you've got to be

a believer, Mrs Santiago.

Are you a believer?

Si, si, I believe.

I believe.

Then let us begin.

I can't.

It's too difficult.

I just can't seem to make

contact. I don't feel his...

No - wait!

I'm feeling something.

Did he know someone

by the name of Anna?

Consuelo?

Lucita?

Julietta?

Josephina?

Linda?

Maria?

Si, si.

His Mama!

She is Maria.

Yes! Praise God.

I knew he was with his Mama.

Oh, my God.

It's too difficult.

It's two of them.

I'm not sure I

can do that.

It's so tiring.

I pay more!

How much?

How much?

Twenty dollars.

Way to go.

Milk her for every penny.

Yes. I...

I believe we can start again.

Praise the Lord!

Thank you, Jesus.

Welcome, Mrs Santiago.

You are fortunate today,

the spirits are churning.

My husband?

Mercy!

Oh, yeah?

Where?

Julio?

Yes!

I feel his vibration.

I see him.

How is he?

How does he look?

He's a handsome man.

Handsome?

Mrs Santiago, in our

Father's Kingdom

we're all handsome.

Oh, Julio.

Julio is coming

towards us.

I see him!

He's coming.

He's there.

He's dressed

in a black suit.

Black suit?

Could be blue.

What a crock of sh*t.

Who is that?

- Julio!

- Where are you?

Julio? Julio?

Did you hear it?

Oh, damn!

Where are you?

Julio?

Who are you?

Who?..

You can hear me?

Can't you hear him?

I don't believe this.

Hey, you!

My name is Sam Wheat.

Can you hear me? Sam Wheat!

Say my name, say it.

Leave me alone!

Say my name.

Sam Wheat. Say it!

Talk to me, Oda Mae.

Say something.

Sam Wheat!

Jesus!..

Sam Wheat?

God, I swear, no more

cheating. I promise.

I'll do anything.

Give me penis.

Just make that

guy go away.

No way.

It's OK.

It's OK.

All right, sister?

Thank you.

Yeah, you're all right.

My mother had it

and my mother's mother had it.

They both had the gift.

And they always

said I had it

but I never did,

I never had it.

You know...

They told me what it was like,

they told me all about it

but now that I've got it,

I don't think I want it.

Just give me a favour. Just go away.

Find somebody else.

Somebody else?

You're out of your mind.

Yeah, I'm getting there fast!

I think she hit her head

harder, than we think.

She was talking to nobody that wasn't

there before she had been hit her head.

Well, I know she is, but

you know sister can do that.

- Where exactly are you?

- I'm standing right beside you.

You're standing

right beside me?

Honey, we're right here!

Are you white?

What?

- White?

- You're white, aren't you?

You know what I think?

Yeas, I'm calling the doctor.

I knew it, it's a white guy!

Why me?

Listen, damn it.

You're going to help me.
