Just Like Heaven Page #3

There should be a bright light.

- There's no light.

- Walk into the light, Elizabeth!

There is no light! I am not dead!

I think I would know if I was dead!

What's happening to me?

You're dead!

Stop saying that!

Missed.

OK. OK, that's enough.

That's enough.

You're just giving me a headache!

Get off of me!

OK. All right, all right.

It's not my fault

you're the way you are.

- I just want you out of my house.

- You get out!

Rest in peace.

I'm not leaving.

Another one, my, my.

Golden State playing very well...

I love ya

Tomorrow

You're only a day away

Tomorrow, tomorrow

I love ya

Tomorrow

You're only a day away

Fine!

The sun'll come out

Tomorrow

Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow

You know what? That's it.

I've had it with you.

I've tried to be nice,

but now you're outta here!

The power of Christ compels you!

The power of Christ compels you!

The power of Christ compels you!

The power of Christ compels you!

He can't even see me.

A little more left.

- You're mopping that up.

- More, more.

They're gonna set off

the smoke detector.

Dad, we got it!

All set, sir. We have the spirit.

A butter dish.

- You sure?

- Oh, definitely.

I have him right here.

I'm gonna go give him a flush.

That's it?

You just sit there?

Hey, you want bells and whistles

or a reading?

Come on.

He can't see me, either.

- For some hideous reason, only you can.

- OK, there's somethin'.

Definitely a presence.

How original. Tell me more.

It's hostile.

Wants you outta here.

Actually, he's not bad.

You should move, dude.

- I should move?

- I would.

I like him.

No, I'm not gonna move.

Can't you feel that, man?

There's like this

cancer-causing ray of spirit hate

- searing right towards your body.

- This kid's got a gift.

- I'm not moving!

- Why not?

It's not like it's that great

an apartment.

- What?

- Yes, it is.

- It's got a view.

- And a fireplace.

Whatever, dude.

Yo, do you have,

like, a diet anything?

I'm, like, 99.9 percent

parched here.

Could really use a cola.

Yeah. Come on.

Move out?

That... that can't be it.

Could you talk to her

and tell her she should pass on?

"Could you please talk to her?"

- I'm ignoring you.

- I'm ignoring you.

She won't accept that she's dead.

I told her to walk to the light.

She wouldn't do it.

That's because there is no light.

God, you're infuriating!

Wait, what's goin' on?

You know what?

Do you think I like this?

Do you think this is easy for me?

I know something's different,

something is not right.

- I'm walking through walls.

- You know,

I don't think I can help you.

This is one of the most

alive spirits I've ever been around.

- She's not goin' anywhere.

- What do you mean?

I agree with her, dude.

She's not dead.

But you, whoa.

You gotta deal with this...

'Cause seriously, that's like

the darkest aura I've ever seen.

Suckin' the life right outta you.

It's killin' you, man.

You have to let her go, dude.

How can I, when she won't leave?

Not your spirit girl.

I'm talkin' 'bout the other one.

The one you're keepin' in here.

That's what's really

haunting you, isn't it?

- I don't want to talk about that.

- I get it.

You were dumped.

Probably for some guy who doesn't

have a couch fused to his ass.

Shut up!

You can dish it out

but you can't take it?

You bring Father Flanagan

and the Joy Luck Club to get rid of me.

But I talk about you

getting dumped once...

You don't know what the hell

you're talking about. Shut the hell up!

Sorry for your loss, bro.

A word to the wise, girl.

Show some respect for the dead.

David?

I'm sorry.

It occurred to me now that I...

...probably don't know you

all that well.

I got this place for the roof.

I was gonna do

a whole garden out here...

...eventually, I think.

Now I'm babbling.

I...

I'm really sorry.

Most people who deal with loss really

find it helpful to talk about things.

I don't want to talk about it!

Anger works too.

Who was he talking about?

Laura. Her name was Laura.

Who's Laura?

She was my wife.

What do you think I am, stupid?

What is this? Oh, come on.

Don't. This is not gonna help.

How would you know? Have

you ever been in a bar in your life?

The groundhog emerges!

I didn't think you'd make it.

All right! All right!

It's Jeff, Jody, Kim, Valerie.

This is my buddy, Dave.

- Nice to meet you.

- What are you drinkin'?

- Coffee.

- Scotch!

- Don't you dare!

- Make it a double!

You don't have to wait.

I can start the hangover right now.

Yeah. Yeah.

He's excited to be out. I know!

Friday night!

- You can't drink these feelings away.

- Watch me.

So, you OK?

Say goodbye, walk to the door,

let's get some food in your stomach.

Who made you my mother?

Did I...?

How you comin' along

with those hallucinations?

- That was nothing.

- You're not a well man, David.

- It's just a lack of sleep.

- Sleep? You gettin' any?

- Eight hours.

- Twelve.

- Nine, tops.

- Opium addicts are more alert than you.

- Will you knock it off.

- Don't you dare!

Don't!

Last chance.

What are you gonna do about it?

Dave, buddy!

I'm so...

I'm sorry. God!

- You freak!

- Dave, that is uncool, man!

Good God!

You're gonna thank me

for that one day.

For what? Making me look like a lunatic

in front of all those people?

Why are you still here?

That's a scary question.

I have no idea.

Why are you the only one

that can see me?

Don't ask me.

All I know is when I'm not with you,

it's like I don't... exist.

Oh, my God.

Maybe I am dead.

Oh, come on now.

I'm... I'm sorry

that I said you're dead.

Maybe you're not dead.

Maybe you're just very... light.

If I could just remember something

about who I am, or was.

I mean, then I'd know

once and for all.

I'm trying to figure it out. I...

I just can't do it by myself.

You're not asking me to...

to help you, are you?

Look.

You have two realities

to choose from.

First one being that a woman

has come into your life

in a very unconventional way

and she happens to need your assistance.

Right.

The second one is that

you're an insane person,

sitting on a park bench

talking to yourself.

I think I prefer the first one.

OK.

Let's find out who I am.

No. I think that apartment was vacant.

That was a woman?

Nobody live there.

It's like I was a ghost

before I was dead.

Hi. Can I help you?

Finally, somebody normal.

I bet we were friends.

Hi, I'm... I'm David.

I am a new tenant here.

Hi, David, Katrina.

Come on in.

- She's friendly, I like her.

- This'll just take a sec.

I have a question. The apartment

upstairs, it belonged to a young woman.

Yeah, I think there

was somebody up there.

But she was, like, totally antisocial.

OK, maybe we weren't close friends.

Kind a like a cat lady,

but without any cats.

Right?

OK, I think we're done here. Let's go.

- OK, thank you.

- Look. This is so retro,

but I've got a window

I can't get open.

- She's got to be kidding.

- What?

- What?

- What?
