you're supposed to do?
I don't know.
Well, what do you want more
For Henry to be happy.
Okay.
What do you think
would make Henry happy?
I don't know.
Think you do.
Damn it! Anything but that.
Wait, where are you going?
I'm done.
So your job was to...
Get you to do
the right thing, yeah.
Well, why didn't you just
tell me that in the first place?
Would you have believed me? Mmm.
See ya, up there.
Yeah? Well, if I see you,
I know I'm not in heaven.
That's the spirit.
The yellow dress?
Are you planning on wearing
that, or taking it to Goodwill?
I haven't talked to him
in months.
Wow. No, "Hello, Kate.
"How's the afterlife
treatin' you?"
You know, I think I lost weight.
I never looked this good
when I was alive.
What do you want, Kate?
Um... all right,
this isn't easy for me, so...
You at a loss for words?
That's a first.
Have you talked to Henry,
you know, since...
Since you broke us up?
No, I haven't.
As a matter of fact,
No, you're not. You can't be.
Yes, I can,
and we're goin' to Vegas.
Well, stop! What about Henry?
What about him? You know what?
I am not interested
in whatever sick game...
you're playing, Kate.
No, listen to me.
I'm being very serious.
I want you two together.
No sale.
I can't believe I'm begging you
to date my husband.
Okay, don't you still love him?
Even if you weren't
screwing with me right now...
which it's
so clear that you are...
the answer would be no.
I moved on.
I mean, it killed me to do it,
but I did it.
So just, um...
Please?
Get up!
Get up!
Henry!
Why can't you hear me?
Get up!
Everything okay over there?
Call Ashley!
Ashley. Call Ashley.
Ashley.
Did you just say...
- Ashley.
- Who taught you that?
Call Ashley. Call Ashley.
You want me to call Ashley?
What do you...
I'm talking to my bird.
Get up. Get up.
Kate?
Is that you?
Are you talking to me
through my bird?
Yes.
Why do you want me to...
Call Ashley.
I got a machine.
- Airport.
- What?
Airport.
Take the bird.
Oh, yeah.
# Think of all the luck
you got #
- Taxi! Taxi!
- # You know that it's not for naught #
Oh, hey, nice. Thanks.
Welcome.
- # It's not like that anymore #
- Where to?
Airport. Airport.
What? You heard the bird.
The airport.
Why are we going to the airport?
Where is she goin'?
Las Vegas.
And you want me to stop her?
What gave you that idea?
How do you even...
How do you know this?
What a day, right?
Got your bird with you, huh?
It's actually my, uh, fiance.
- # What is this downside #
- Ah.
- I think.
- # That you speak of? #
# What is this feeling #
# You're so #
# Sure of? #
# What is this downside #
Ashley!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Back of the line, sir.
I just need to talk
to that woman for a second.
The only way you get
through here is with a ticket.
Could you maybe get her then?
It's an emergency.
Oh, it's an emergency?
Well, by all means,
come on in, man.
You know,
people who have emergencies...
don't even have to go
through the metal detectors.
All right, there's
really no need for sarcasm.
Back of the line.
Hi. I need the cheapest
ticket you have.
Where do you wanna go, sir?
It doesn't matter.
Well, that's not
at all suspicious.
Hurry up, lard ass.
Excuse me?
Uh... no, that's, uh...
That's... That's my bird.
He says that to everybody.
Move those fat fingers, Helen.
All right, you know what?
That's enough.
Sorry.
One ticket to Miami, $1,350.
- That's the cheapest ticket...
- Don't be cheap. Buy it!
All right, you know,
that's fine. That's fine.
Buy it!
You know, I never really
thought about it...
but, uh, a psychic in Vegas?
you know?
Yeah.
Too bad I don't do that anymore.
All right.
Over there.
What?
What's the matter?
You don't wanna know.
Ashley.
What are you doing here?
I don't know.
The bird told me to come here.
Did you do this?
Who are you talking to?
Oh, let me...
Let me guess, uh, the ghost?
Why are you here?
Why is your arm around her?
You're gay.
No, I'm not...
I'm not gay. No, no.
No, I've never been gay.
Methinks
he doth protest too much.
Do you really want this?
Henry does.
Where is she?
She's right next to you.
You want Ashley and me
to be together?
I do.
I'm sorry I put you
through all of this.
She says she does,
and she's sorry...
I mean, I'm... I'm paraphrasing.
Thank you, Kate.
You're welcome, Henry.
When we get to heaven,
all bets are off.
She says you're welcome.
So, Kate
wants us to be together.
I want us to be together.
What do you want?
Well, I wouldn't
wanna piss her off again.
# And love #
# Such a silly game
we play #
# Oh, like a summer's day
in May #
# What is love? What is love? #
- Hello?
- # I just want you to be loved #
# Oh-oh-oh #
You know what? That probably
wasn't gonna work out anyway.
- I'm Bill, by the...
- I'm not gay!
- Okay.
- Okay.
- All right.
- Very good.
Me, neither. Not gay at all.
Um, maybe, though,
when we get to Vegas...
we can grab some dinner...
and talk about how,
you know, not gay we are.
# Ah, ah, ah #
# Love #
# Who could tell me
I am wrong? #
# I just think
that I am strong #
# What is love? What is love? #
# I just want you to be loved #
# Oh-oh oh-oh #
# Oh-oh #
I am so glad I met you.
You're hilarious.
I was just going
for ironically amusing.
Are you sure you haven't
been drinking already?
Oh, wait
till after the ceremony.
If you like me now...
you are gonna love me
when I'm drunk.
Wow. That was, um...
- really quick.
- Well, I'm not gay.
I'm not gay.
I just need...
I just wanna get that...
out there right now, so there's
no misunderstanding later.
I'm not...
So that's why we, uh... Okay.
There she is.
Oh, God, hold on, Dad.
One second. One second.
Hi.
Look, I know
this was supposed to be you...
so thank you.
Just make him happy, okay?
Or else, you know.
Wait, can you come back
and haunt me for that, or...
I... I don't know.
I kind of missed
the orientation speech.
Don't worry.
Kate, I will make him happy.
I love Gardenias.
Sorry.
We are gathered here
in the presence of God...
to witness the exchanging
of vows that will bind...
- # I can see clearly now #
- this couple together...
# The rain is gone #
in the covenant and
relationship of marriage.
When the ceremony has ended,
they will leave this place...
- # I can see all obstacles #
- as husband and wife...
- # In my way #
- for the very first time.
# Gone are the dark clouds
that had me blind #
# Bright, sunshiny day #
# Yeah #
# Look all around #
# There's nothin'
but blue skies #
# There's nothin'
but blue skies #
# I can see clearly now #
# The rain is gone #
# I can see all obstacles
in my way #
