For that matter, we're not here. We're... What?

- What?

- What?

What? What? What? What is this?

What am I, in The Twilight Zone here?

I'm talking about the opportunity

to resolve your lives.

You know, you get to do the one thing

you would've done before you died.

Except you didn't get to do it

on account of some guy

unintentionally cut your lives a little short.

We haven't done anything.

We haven't resolved anything!

You're joking.

I mean, you were told about this?

The angel, he came down,

he explained it to you?

Hold it, hold it, hold it.

All right, all right, hold it, hold it.

All right, back off, back off.

All right, all right! Okay, okay.

I mean, you've been hanging around

in Limboville here since the '50s,

just wondering what gives?

Well, you see,

what you're supposed to have done

is to take care of the one thing

that would've made your lives complete.

You know, I'm not talking

about making a million dollars,

or shacking up with some

pinup girl or something.

Shackin' up with some pinup girl doesn't...

Shut up.

Well, how in the world are we supposed

to do that? We're spirits!

Yeah, we can't make a phone call, we can't...

Punch some bus driver in the chops.

Hmm.

Your corporeal being.

You're supposed to use him as a vehicle.

And if he won't do it,

you enter his body and you make him do it.

Enter his body?

We can take him over?

Well, that would've been helpful to know.

I knew there was a reason for all of this.

Yeah, yeah, sure.

It's all part of the grand scheme of things.

Which is worth diddly if someone

doesn't get his halo down here

and tell you what's going on.

Oh, thank God. I thought

we were gonna be stuck here forever!

- Oh, this is great.

- My kids! I can find out about my kids!

No. No, no. No, no, no.

Wait a second now. It's too late now.

I mean, I got the bus. It's right here.

What? You can't take us now.

Now that we know?

I gotta take you now. I mean, it's time.

And you know,

there are new babies on the way,

and you guys are my responsibility.

It's your fault we're here!

I mean, don't you have a conscience?

Everybody gets cancellations.

Not everybody.

- Think of your guilt.

- Just a little while longer.

Think about your guilt.

All right. Maybe, maybe I can hold off

until each one of you is actually needed.

Would you? You would!

I would, but it's not gonna be long,

I'm warning you.

I can't believe I'm even doing this. It's crazy.

You know, I'm sticking my neck out here,

and when I come back for you,

you better be ready.

- I got first dibs on him.

- Oh, no, you don't!

- Hey, Thomas!

- Thomas!

Hey, man! Remember me? It's Milo.

- Long time no see, huh?

- I've missed you.

...the greatest times of my life.

- Long time, still no see.

- Oh, you're not doing it right. Let me try!

Exactly what I'm saying is that, you know,

when we met, you had this

- spark.

- Sure.

Spark? What is she talking about?

- I'm just trying to bring that back.

- Thomas, can you hear us?

I'll meet your parents tomorrow night.

We're screwed.

We're screwed. The guy's brain dead.

- Are you concentrating like we used to?

- Yes, I'm concentrating.

We don't just scream at him.

Thomas! Hey, wake up!

- Milo, Milo, stop it. Sit down!

- Shh!

You can't just yell at him.

Come on, we have to

concentrate together like we used to.

It's a lot easier to disappear than to appear.

Sing Walk Like A Man.

- Walk Like A Man?

- Good idea.

Concentrate.

Okay. Okay, okay, concentrate.

Walk like a man

Talk like a man

Walk like a man

my son

No woman's worth

crawling on the earth

- So walk like a...

- This isn't working.

Oooh

Thomas! Thomas!

Thomas, it's me.

It's Milo. It's not about the radio. It's me!

Oh! Contact.

Hope he doesn't take this badly.

You yelled at him in a moving car!

I did not yell! I was just a bit loud.

You did! You always yell everything!

It wasn't even my idea, okay? It was Penny's.

She was the one going...

Don't try to blame me, boy.

Well, how long's he gonna be out?

What do I look like, an anesthesiologist?

I mean, we've lost a whole night already!

My car. What happened to my car?

Thomas?

He may be a tad upset.

Thomas?

Sweetie pie, can you hear us?

We're so sorry, Thomas.

Don't worry, you're gonna be okay.

Okay, what have they got me on?

How are you?

You just cracked a couple of ribs,

but you're gonna be okay.

Oh, my God!

Thomas, it's been a very long time.

We hope you haven't forgotten us.

We really need your help, Tom.

Oh, God, they're back.

He remembers us!

He remembers us!

The hallucinations are back.

I never thought of us

as hallucinations.

- Me, neither. Where's he going?

- Wait!

- Thomas?

- Where are you going?

-Bathroom down here?

-We finally figured out

what we're supposed to do!

You're supposed to stay

deep, deep in my subconscious.

- Don't run away from us!

- Don't jabber at him.

I haven't talked to him in so long!

He's ignoring us.

He's completely ignoring us!

Pretending he don't know us.

- Oh, straitjacket city!

- La, la, la, la, la...

Thomas, you're not crazy!

We're real, in our way.

Hi, guys.

- He's a lucky one.

- Yeah, sure. Yeah.

He gets visitors. I never get visitors.

Yeah.

Hi.

No, not today. I'm off medication.

Look,

this is gonna sound crazy.

- Hmm?

- Do you see any other people with me?

No. Nobody.

Besides those four.

Do you really see them?

Yes.

What do they look like?

There's a gentleman in a brown hat,

a nice-looking black lady,

a blonde lady with a pink doily,

and a young buck in a leather jacket.

I'm available.

Oh, and the naked guy with the nose ring.

Hmm? No, there's no naked guy...

I know that.

You double check me, I double check you.

You're lucky.

Well, the ones I see aren't real.

The ones I see come to me in the daytime

and sometimes they stay around.

Like other planets. The stuff they said!

I mean, people from other places,

well, things from other places.

- You don't know which...

- You're real.

We've always thought so.

Yeah. I mean, we can't do much.

- We can't do much.

- No.

See, I thought I had these

serious emotional problems.

And so, I convinced myself

that I'd made you up.

No, sweetie, no. We've been here

right beside you all the time, Thomas.

We were supposed to have you help finish

things for us, things we needed to do.

This is so amazing.

Isn't it wonderful, Thomas?

I mean, the way the pieces all fit,

you and us... I mean...

What on earth makes you think

I would do anything to help you?

Thomas Kenneth Reilly, you get back here!

I told you, I told you!

Don't leave him, he's gonna be mad!

Whoa! Help... Oh!

I'm real sorry. Really.

You have insurance though, right?

You may not ride in the car.

You drive too fast anyway.

Look, I said I was sorry,

and I have a name, you know.

I am not going to run all over the place

trying to fix things

that you should have fixed years ago.

Find some other little kid

and screw up his life.
