Just Like Heaven Page #8

Synopsis: Elizabeth Masterson, a dedicated doctor in San Francisco, had almost no time for anything. When her sister with two kids set her up on a date, she gets into a tragic car crash and goes into a coma. Meanwhile, a landscape architect named David Abbott moves to San Francisco and, coincidentally, into Elizabeth's apartment for rent. While at the apartment, Elizabeth's spirit haunts him. She doesn't remember who she is, who her family is or what she did - All that she remembered was her apartment and where everything was. To settle the arguments, David agrees to figure out who Elizabeth really is. When they get close to figuring out who she is, they eventually find love with one another and as they finally know who she really is, they learn that fate really has put them both together.

You can't do this!

- Why can't I?

- Because you'll go to jail.

So? If something happens to you,

you think I care where I'll be?

At least this'll buy us

a little more time.

The things you'd have to know

to even start to pull this off...

You know them.

You'll talk me through it.

OK, you're gonna need a van.

And somebody with no morals.

- What are we movin' again?

- Medical supplies.

You didn't tell him? You have to.

You know,

he looks really familiar to me.

- You saw him at the bar.

- Saw who at the bar?

No one, never mind.

Here we go!

OK, and we're in such a hurry

to move this stuff because why?

There's a one-day sale on

hospital beds. I always wanted one.

Oh, great. Now you're

gonna become a bed potato.

- You've gotta tell this poor guy.

- Not yet.

- Not yet what?

- We're not there yet.

OK, Dave, be honest with me.

Has your imaginary friend

come out to play?

OK, grab a cart.

You need a blood pressure cuff

and a portable ventilator,

right there, that yellow thing.

Dave, what the hell are you doing?

This isn't a sale, man!

All right. I knew

you wouldn't come if I told you.

- Do I really want to hear this?

- My imaginary friend is not imaginary.

She is the spirit of a girl

in a coma upstairs

who they're about

to take off life support.

We've got to get her someplace safe.

- Really?

- Really.

- You should've told him.

- He wouldn't have believed me.

- Does he believe you now?

- I had to get him into the hospital!

Let me take you to the psych ward.

There are people who can help!

No time. It's 11:30 right now.

She's gonna be dead in half an hour!

Tell him I know this is a stretch.

Elizabeth is standing

right behind you right now.

She knows what a stretch

this is for you.

If your friend's really behind me,

ask her what I'm doing:

Rock, paper or scissors?

- Rock.

- Rock.

- Scissors.

- Scissors.

- Paper.

- Paper.

- Rock again.

- Rock again.

- He's flipping me off.

- Are you flipping her off?

- You're flipping her off!

- How...?

OK. OK, sometimes

people with emotional

and mental disturbances

can have psychic moments.

But even if she was real,

do you know what you're

risking for this woman?

- Yes!

- Why?

Because I love her.

I love her.

I do, I love you.

No one's ever said that to me before.

- David?

- What?

- Tell him thank you.

- We're really grateful, Jack.

I'm not doin' it for you.

Then why are you doing it?

Because someday, trust me,

I'm gonna need help movin' a body.

When that day comes,

I don't wanna hear any sh*t from you.

OK, get me on the gurney, quick.

Oh, my God. David.

I know. She's pretty, right?

That's really sweet,

but we've gotta go.

No, that's not it. This is her.

This is the woman I set you up with,

the woman you stood up that night!

I was gonna meet Elizabeth?

And she didn't make it either,

because she had an accident.

It was you.

Is that it? Is that why?

I was supposed to meet you.

How did you know her?

I'm friends with her sister.

We went out.

- I knew I'd seen him. That's J.J.!

- Jack is J.J.?

What did you...?

No one's called me J.J. Since college.

He's older and hairier, but it's him.

The one who tongued Abby

at the wedding?

- How the hell did you know that?

- It's Elizabeth.

- Oh, my God. She really is here.

- I told you!

Get her on the gurney! I don't want them

killing Abby's sister! Come on.

OK. Be really gentle.

Yeah.

I'm here already.

- That's Brett.

- He's 15 minutes early!

- Soon as the sister shows, we're ready.

- He's comin' in.

That's OK. All right.

- Careful, he's smart. His name is...

- Dr. Rushton?

- Yeah.

- Well, hi, David Abbott.

Buy some time.

Tell him you're a doctor.

I'm a doctor.

You're a special consultant

from PAO Medical.

I'm a special consultant

from PAO Medical.

Dr. Walsh sent me down

for a final evaluation.

I had no verbal or written

instructions to that end.

There's new evidence

to support that full...

Functionality can be restored.

We need to run some tests.

Who's we?

Tell him your team is downstairs.

My team is downstairs with

a signed order from Dr. Walsh.

- You got it.

- This is the first I've heard of this.

You won't mind

if I talk to Dr. Walsh?

Go confirm with him.

We'll wait right here.

I'll just get him on the phone.

- David!

- OK, I'm not convincing as a doctor!

Oh, God, David,

the felonies just keep pilin' up!

- That way, David.

- Go this way.

- Brett!

- What happened?

Are you OK?

This is Dr. Rushton.

I need security on the third floor.

Don't jostle. But go faster.

- Take a right up here.

- Right here! Right, right, right!

The elevator!

Hold it! We need you to...

Oh, sh*t.

Stop right there!

Stop! Stop! Stop! Hold it!

Come on! Hey, hey, hey!

- David.

- Elizabeth.

Oh, my God, David.

My breathing tube is gone.

What? No!

- Well, what can I do?

- It's too late. It's happening.

- No.

- It's strong.

Be stronger.

It's pulling me away.

No!

Stay with me!

- I got ya.

- Elizabeth!

- No!

- David.

- Give me a sedative!

- Help her!

- Gimme five of Haldol.

- Help her! Elizabeth!

- Hold him.

- No! Elizabeth!

What's going on?

- That's not possible.

- Yeah.

That's not possible.

Elizabeth? Can you hear me?

I can't believe

we almost let you go.

Honey? It's me, Abby.

- Abby.

- Yeah.

I think I bumped my head.

It's OK.

Hey.

Hello.

It's me.

I'm sorry, I don't...

Honey, it's David.

You don't remember David?

The apartment.

The rooftop.

Garden.

Nothin'.

Honey, you don't

remember him at all?

- Aunt Elizabeth, come on!

- Come on!

We only rented it for a month.

- Did you move something?

- No.

It's funny, I just have

this strange feeling,

like... something's missing.

Everything's here, just as you left it.

I guess it's just been a long time.

You sure you're gonna be OK?

Yeah. I'm gonna be good.

- So I'll see you guys Saturday.

- OK. The girls'll bake for you.

Hi.

Don't worry, I'm...

I just wanted you

to have your garden.

How did you get up here?

Spare key.

Under the fire extinguisher.

Look, the last thing

I want to do is scare you.

Goodbye, Lizzie.

Wait.

Yeah?

The key. I need the key back.

Oh, right.

How do I know you?

Maybe from your dreams.

If you could ever really touch me,

I might wake up from all of this.

It wasn't a dream.

No.

David.

Yeah. Yeah.

Righteous.
