stop your heart.

What?

I said it's something

to stop your heart.

It didn't work.

It didn't work.

What's your name?

It didn't...

It didn't work.

What's your name?

Damian.

Damian.

It will take a few days,

but it gets easier.

It has that

new body smell.

Damian.

Damian?

Yeah.

Are you all right?

Yes.

Death has some side effects.

Here. The paper of record.

We can arrange

a visit to the plot

in a few months if it

holds any significance.

But right now...

Get some rest

if you can.

Tomorrow's your

first day of school.

So, how are you feeling?

Terrific. I have the physical

dexterity of a toddler.

Two hundred and

fifty million well spent.

A sense

of humor. Good.

It's important actually.

Helps to fend off despair.

Is that why I'm only

allowed plastic knives?

Suicidal thoughts

are not uncommon.

Inhabiting a body the mind regards

as alien can be pretty overwhelming.

And what is that? Prozac?

No, not exactly. No.

The "glitches" that

you've described to me?

That's your mind adjusting

to its new neural structure.

And you can expect occasional, mild

hallucinations for the first year.

Jesus. There's nothing

to worry about.

Think of it as

the anti-rejection drug

that you'd take

after any transplant.

And what does

rejection look like?

Well, migraine, nausea,

disorientation, and then...

Well, death.

Oh.

Is that all?

An irrelevant hypothetical.

One a day

for the time being.

Hell yes.

I was born on September 20, 1980.

Phoenix, Arizona.

My parents and my older sister

were killed in a car crash.

My parents and my older sister

were killed in a car crash

when I was 10 years old.

I was home with a stomach ache

because I snuck in the kitchen

and ate a whole tub of chocolate ice cream.

I haven't eaten

chocolate since.

My Uncle Frank

raised me in Chicago.

I went to Northwestern, where I

majored in Computer Science.

I never married.

I have no children.

I have no children.

My name is Edward Kidner.

My name is Edward Kidner.

Mmm. What's this?

This is a

graduation present.

You'll live locally

for the time being,

just until you

get your bearings.

We've arranged

a house and car for you

and placed the money that you put

aside in a new bank account.

Not many in there,

are there?

Seven.

You'll get refills at

our weekly meetings.

No. A leash wasn't

part of the deal.

I'm sorry. I admit

it's an inconvenience.

But with so few

undergoing the procedure,

every one of our patients

is a learning process.

It's just for now.

All right?

And how do I

get in touch with you?

You don't.

I come to you.

My privacy is very important

to me for obvious reasons.

Fair enough.

I'll tell you what.

In a couple of months,

we can talk

about wherever it is

that you want to be

relocated. All right?

But in the meantime, why don't you

just relax and have some fun.

After all, at your age,

I'd say you've earned it.

Whoo!

Oh!

Move, move, move!

What's up, man?

Way to go.

Hey, NBA.

You see any scouts watching?

Uh-uh. I like to win.

Hmm.

Come back,

you'll be disappointed.

You're not from

around here, are you?

How'd you guess?

The locals prefer sucking?

I like that.

That's funny.

Gonna get a local

ass-whooping. I'm Anton.

Edward.

How's the wrist?

My kids can dish

out more than that.

You got kids?

Yeah, buddy.

Let me show you my beauties.

Look at that. The oldest,

she just turned seven.

Ah.

They're cute at that age.

Before they grow claws and

sharp-pointed teeth.

So what's

your story, Eddie?

What do you mean?

You know. You in town to catch

some jazz, chase the ladies?

No, no, no. I'm actually renting an

apartment about two blocks up there.

No sh*t. I'm just

around the corner.

Yeah? No sh*t.

Yeah, I'm right here.

Anton.

It was nice meeting you.

Sure.

Hey, I'm gonna

take you out.

Something like a little

welcome to the neighborhood.

I appreciate that,

but you got kids at home.

Yeah, but they live

with their mother.

I get to see them like once a month.

You know how it is.

Come on.

You'd rather drink alone?

No. No, I wouldn't.

You're on.

There you go.

Thank you.

What is he wearing?

Really?

Ew.

Are you in line?

Thanks.

After you.

Eddie! What's going on?

How are you?

I'm Edward.

Please meet Leah.

Leah? Nice to meet you.

How are you?

This is Andrea.

Andrea. Pleasure.

How are you?

You have very nice

taste in friends, Anton.

Well done.

Thank you very much.

Now, what were we talking about?

They were asking me what

you do besides trying to play ball.

Nothing. I'm retired.

How old are you?

I was born September 20, 1980,

in Phoenix, Arizona.

That's specific.

That's specific.

Very specific.

Actually, I started a company, and

then I sold it later. Doesn't matter.

Are they giving something away in there?

What's with the line?

I love this song.

I love this song.

She's incredible.

She's a guy, isn't she?

Yeah.

Are you okay?

I am. I'm fine.

I just haven't seen anything

like that in about 52 years.

You're weird.

Gorgeous.

Where are you going?

Hello.

Hello, Claire?

Yes, this is Claire.

Hello?

Who is this?

You like it when

Daddy's home? Me, too.

Hey, baby.

She's sleeping.

Daddy...

I see this little girl. She

can't be more than five or six.

And somehow I know that she's

the daughter of this woman.

Something's wrong.

She's sick.

She's expecting

me to help her.

Well, you mentioned that you

missed taking your medication.

Once.

Just one?

Yes.

Well, that would account for the

intensity of your hallucination.

No, this wasn't a hallucination.

I knew her.

Oh, yes, I understand that

it might seem that way

given your unresolved feelings

for your own daughter,

but what you're

experiencing is simply

a confused composite

of old memories

fueled by your own

very real emotions.

Now, for example,

this town with the water tower

with the pumpkin painted on it

is likely someplace

that you visited as a child.

And this Latina woman?

Well, a one-night stand long

since forgotten, I'm sure.

I never said

she was Latina.

Hmm?

I never said

she was Latina.

Hmm.

Here.

What is this?

Hawaii.

A change of scenery.

Yes, I'm afraid I've kept you

cooped up in here for far too long,

and I'm sorry about that.

But for the week

that you're gone,

I'm doubling your

dose of medication.

Now you remember to take it,

and I assure you

these unpleasant episodes

will soon be behind you.

All right?

All right.

Heavenly Father, we

thank you for the glorious hope

and for the great consolation.

In the name of the Father,

the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

Morning, Mr. Kidner.

May I?
