Over Her Dead Body Page #6

- Oh.

- Yeah.

If I run into anybody

that I know...

I'm gonna pretend

you're a German tourist.

I don't wanna be associated

with you.

Do you know any German?

Uh... Ich machen dachen

zeit yachen...

tick wagen

fahr Fig Newton...

in BMW en zag.

It's kinda like

a Swedish German.

- Yeah.

- Nice.

- It's not. Yeah.

- It's good.

Yes, no, I think the bathrooms

are over there...

German lady,

who's from also Sweden...

that I don't even know.

Hey, I feel kind of weird

bringing this up...

but have you thought

about Kate lately?

Um, yeah, not really.

I mean, you know

how I feel about all that...

but you said

some pretty amazing things.

Can I ask you a question?

Sure.

Um, there's no right

or wrong answer to this...

so you can just be honest,

but, um, are we...

Are we out to talk about Kate...

or-or are we,

you know, just out?

Because, either way

is totally fine with me.

I just... If it's both...

then it probably gets, like,

a little complicated for me.

Yeah, I was kind of wondering

the same thing, actually.

I mean, are we out

because I'm your client...

or are we out?

Oh, great, I'm your client.

That sucks.

I had a good time.

Me, too.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Okay, you don't have to.

No, I want to.

Okay. Okay, me, too.

Okay.

Bye.

Forgetting something?

Was I somehow unclear

about what I wanted you to do?

Oh, were you expecting Henry?

I was hoping.

He's quite a kisser.

You're really gonna

throw that in my face?

Isn't that tactic

a little beneath you?

You're one to talk!

I had to show a room

full of guys my naked breasts...

because of you!

That's a nice gesture,

but unnecessary, dear.

Oh, I was... Um...

Good night.

Bingo, come on.

That dog just sniffed you.

God, I think

the animals can see you.

That is so cool.

That's great.

Wonder how I can use that

against you?

Hey, I showed it to you.

Yeah, that was dumb.

I don't understand.

If you weren't sick,

then what was the problem?

I can't get into it...

because you're

gonna think I'm crazy.

No, no, no. I'll hide it.

I promise, I'll look at you

really sincerely and say...

"I understand."

- Okay. Fine.

- Good.

You remember Henry, right?

Yeah, yeah.

The guy with the wife...

that was the crushed

by the angel.

Right. I saw her.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Uh, now,

when you say, uh, you saw her...

you mean you saw...

- Her ghost, yes.

- Mm.

Yeah, she's been hassling me.

I understand.

No, Dan, this is not a joke.

Look, I've heard voices

before and stuff like that...

but I've actually seen her.

Do you see her right now?

No, I only see her

when she wants me to see her...

I think. I don't know.

You know what?

Never mind. I'm kidding.

I seriously was kidding.

I totally made that up.

Let's cook. I bought salmon.

You... You really believe this,

don't you?

It's really happening.

And it's only you.

No one else can see or hear her?

Yeah. I don't know why I'm

the only one who can see her.

Maybe because I'm after the guy

she was supposed to marry.

Maybe that's sufficient

motivation for her...

to come back from the dead.

I don't know.

I note that

during your little rant...

defending your sanity,

you admit you're after him.

Well, yeah, I mean,

we're like...

We're like... We're

sort of dating or whatever.

Ashley.

No, I don't want

a reality check.

This is what happens

when you lie...

about talking

to a man's dead fiance.

I've seen it a thousand times.

No, because I'm not lying, okay?

I can actually talk to her.

That's different.

Okay, I was lying before...

because I actually

couldn't talk to her.

And also, admittedly...

I lied to you

about being interested in him.

So I am sorry about that.

Yeah, listen,

while you work that out...

maybe this can bubble

into your subconscious.

Run away!

I mean, you have dated guys

with every problem there is...

but this one, apparently,

has a ghost?

Yeah, but it's not his fault

his fiance's haunting me.

Mm.

Look, it's impossible

to find a great guy...

and I'm not gonna

let a little thing...

like a ghost stop me, okay?

I'm not gonna let her win.

You mean her ghost?

- Right.

- I understand.

I'm going to the market.

Bone the fish.

Are you all right?

Why are you screaming?

No, I wasn't.

I was... I was singing.

Thanks.

Father Marks?

Ashley.

That's me.

I haven't seen you in,

what's it been, ten years?

I've been

to a few Christmas services.

Well, next Christmas, why don't

you come up and say hello?

Absolutely.

I will put that in my calendar.

December the 25th.

Got it.

Well, you didn't come here...

so I could make you squirm

about your attendance.

Now that you mention it.

Um... Father, um, I've... I've...

I've had an encounter...

encounters with a ghost.

Well, you musn't be

completely surprised...

that this is happening to you.

I mean, if you dabble

with the occult...

you're bound to get

these kind of incidents.

- I know.

- Well, all right.

You're not here

to get a lecture from me.

So why did you come here?

I want you to get rid of her.

Do you see the ghost now?

No.

And this room is where

you've seen her the most?

Definitely.

This is definitely the room...

where I see her most.

So, uh, is there a script

for this sort of thing?

For exorcism? Oh sure, sure.

No, when you're

casting out spirits...

the Church doesn't really

like us to wing it.

Right. Of course.

- Shall we?

- Yes.

Yes.

"I address thee, spirit,

in the name of the Father...

"and of the Son

and of the Holy Spirit.

"Come out

and leave this servant of God."

You don't really believe

this is gonna work.

I see her. She's right there.

"It is time

for your soul to pass on.

"Hear the command

of God himself...

"who did

walk upon the sea...

"and extend his right hand

to Peter."

You really don't believe

in all this hocus-pocus, do you?

"In the name of God, the

Almighty Father...

- "that thou depart..."

- Oh, that's not good.

It's working. It's working.

Uh, okay, Ashley, listen.

I've been reconsidering,

and I think we can come...

- to some sort of understanding.

- "Let the Holy Spirit...

"dwell therein."

Okay, uh, s-s-some of the...

some of the things I did,

a little out of hand...

and I'd like to take

this opportunity to apologize.

You know, the whole naked

in the gym thing, not cool.

I get it now.

- What's happening?

- "Therefore, restless spirit...

Oh, make it stop!

"acknowledge

that your time has ended."

Please, I don't wanna go.

I don't wanna go!

She's gone.

Yeah.

You did it.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

I'm... I'm... I'm sure.

She was right there...

and then she vanished.

Well, bugger me.

Good.

- Good.

- Very good.

So, you're, uh, finished

with your psychic work?

Oh, yeah. I mean, it's over.

And we'll see you in church

on a regular basis?

We didn't agree to that

before we started.

Oh, I'll bring her back.

It's a deal. It's a deal.

I promise.

Okay. No more of these games.

- I know. I'm sorry.
