Over Her Dead Body Page #5

you know, that's a good sign.

Buying a sandwich for someone...

you've never

had a sandwich with...

is a lot harder than you think.

I mean, just the bread.

I started off

with whole wheat...

but then I worried that,

you know, I'm saying...

you're kind

of a crunchy person...

who only eats whole wheat.

I almost went with pumpernickel,

but then I'd look like...

the kind of guy

who wants to impose...

my weird bread fetish

on everyone and...

You know, now, I'm one of those

idiots who just prattles on...

in, uh, answering machines...

and also uses a word

like "prattles."

So the only thing I can think of

is that, uh, you really just...

you don't

wanna talk to me anymore.

Um, if that's right,

well, um...

I don't know, I guess just...

kinda keep doin'

what you're doin'.

- # Shine, let it shine #

- So, take care of yourself...

- # Even if it burns your eyes #

- Ashley.

# This light of mine is mine #

# And I'm gonna let it shine #

There you are.

Why have you been avoiding

my brother?

Uh, I can explain.

Um...

I guess I can't explain.

Okay,

if you didn't wanna do this...

you should've just said so...

but to lead him on

and let him think...

that you can help him

and then just disappear?

I mean, he's worse off,

if that's possible.

I just couldn't do it anymore,

all right?

I'm sorry.

Please tell him I'm sorry.

Did you run out of things

to say?

- No, it's not that. It's not that.

- Because I have...

- It's not...

- more information.

I have letters

and some pictures and...

- Is that her?

- Yeah, that's Kate.

Oh, God!

Wait, what do...

What does that mean?

Do... Do you want the letters?

All right, show's over.

Come out. I know who you are...

Kate.

- Boo.

- God.

God, it's really you.

This is unbelievable.

- Are you really like a...

- Ghost?

It's the only way

I can explain it.

That is awesome.

Here, catch.

Nice throw.

Crap.

Hey, what was that

the other day, man?

I was just trying to help out

the situation.

Help?

You were helping yourself

to Henry.

Okay, so, like, I'm like...

I'm like

slightly attracted to him.

Well, he's not right for you.

Yes, he is.

He is considerate, and

he is sweet, and, you know...

pulls the chair out for me

when I sit.

Big deal.

It is a big deal,

and you know it, okay?

He's been wonderful to me

from the second he met me...

even though he probably thought

I was a little crazy.

Well, you do

talk to dead people.

That's a little crazy.

Oh, I'm crazy?

You're the one who's spying

on me in the frickin' shower.

You're right.

I'm sorry about that.

You know what, girl to girl,

you're gettin' a little hippy.

You might wanna cut back

on the pasta.

All right, what do you want?

I'm serious. Why are you here?

Look, we got off

on the wrong foot...

and that's partly my fault...

with the threats

from beyond and all.

- Yeah.

- But here's the thing.

I was sent back to earth

to protect Henry.

Really? How do you know that?

Because when you die,

you go to this white room...

and there's a woman who may

or may not be an angel...

and she says that, you know,

just, you know...

stuff, and I just know.

So, like, I have to like

stay away from Henry now?

Oh, that would be so great.

Thank you.

Wait a second.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

But you're dead.

I still don't want you

to see him.

Yeah, I know,

but for argument's sake...

I mean,

if I wanted to see him...

there's not a whole hell

of a lot you could do about it.

Really?

Then why have you been hiding

in your bedroom for a week?

Well, I'm done hiding.

Let's not let this get ugly.

I think it already has.

You have no idea.

Ashley?

Hi, Henry.

Oh, sorry.

"Dr. Mills."

Oh, hey, you're alive.

Yeah, thanks to you.

You're a real lifesaver.

Know... You know,

the food that you left me...

was the only thing

that kept me going.

Oh, you got that. Good.

I left a couple

of messages, but...

I know. I'm so sorry.

I, um...

I just... I felt so ill

that I couldn't talk to anyone.

But the minute I felt better...

I wanted to come down here

and thank you in person.

I hope you're not mad at me.

No, not at all. I...

I'm sorry that I called

and bothered you.

I mean, you said that you'd call

when you felt better...

and here you are.

Do you wanna go out tonight?

Yeah. All right. I'd love to.

Okay, great.

Oh, great. Oh, great.

I'll let you get back

to saving animals' lives...

and everything.

Okay.

And what seems to be

the trouble with Margaret?

Itchy ass.

Excellent.

Oh!

Oh, God!

Ashley, hello.

What was that crash?

I heard a crash.

- Ashley, hello.

- Sh*t.

What is going on?

Is there someone there?

Is someone at your place?

- Hello.

- You know what...

- Hello!

- I'm callin' the police.

I'm giving you ten seconds

to pick up.

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six,

five, four, three, two, one.

Dan. Sorry.

The phone scared me,

so I killed it.

What's going on?

Where have you been?

- Why haven't you talked to me?

- It's a long story.

I've got time.

I... I can't talk right now.

Why don't you

come over tomorrow...

we'll work on the Spencer party.

I got to go.

Where are you off to?

The gym. Okay?

I got to go. Bye.

- Oh, wait, Dan!

- Yeah?

Would you say I'm hippy?

# Goddess on the mountain top #

# Burning like a silver flame #

# The summit

of beauty and love #

# And Venus was her name #

# Whoa #

There's a gas leak

in the building.

Everyone get out now.

This is an emergency.

It'll be fine

if we just don't freak out!

It's all right! It's okay!

We'll be right

if we just stay cool!

Just stay cool, guys!

Just don't light a match!

What... Everyone out!

Oh, no.

- Miss?

- The...

It was just the P.A.

Was there an announcement

on the P. A?

What P. A?

Stairmaster's open,

you know, for your... Mm-hmm.

Miss.

Yeah. I was just...

Well, look at me, hmm?

Naked in there, okay.

Just kidding.

Sorry about that, you guys.

I'm crazy.

So, do you have any idea

where you wanna eat?

Um, no.

I mean, if you have a place...

some place in mind or...

No, it's your treat,

so, you know...

I'm gonna let you choose.

Oh, well, in that case, I just...

I know just the place, actually.

No, I was... I was kidding.

Do you wanna get some seafood?

Oh, no, no, big talker...

you're now gonna eat

a hot dog out of a cart.

- Hey.

- Sor... Oh, sorry.

Uh, one Italian sausage.

- Thank you.

- No, make it two.

If you're sure you wouldn't

rather have seafood.

No, we're...

No, we're fine with the two.

Two Italian sausage.

Thank you.

Are you going to treat me

to a funnel cake, too?

Only if you're a good boy.

Watch out for that.

Stop it, please.

It's really not funny.

No, you're right.

That's horrible.

Stop, 'cause if you wanna play,

I'll play that game.

You wanna play that game?

Oh, my God! Oh!

Ohh!

Oh.

Let me just...

You got a little somethin', uh...

I can't believe

you're not embarrassed...

to be seen with me right now.

Oh, God, no, no, I totally am.
