[BELL TOLLING]
MY NAME IS MELINDA GORDON.
I'M MARRIED, I LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN,
AND I OWN AN ANTIQUE SHOP.
I MIGHT BE JUST LIKE YOU.
EXCEPT THAT FROM THE TIME I WAS A LITTLE GIRL,
I KNEW THAT I COULD TALK TO THE DEAD.
Grandmother: IT'S ALL RIGHT, HONEY.
EARTHBOUND SPIRITS, MY GRANDMOTHER CALLED THEM.
THEY'RE STUCK HERE BECAUSE THEY HAVE UNFINISHED
BUSINESS WITH THE LIVING
AND THEY COME TO ME FOR HELP.
[GASPS]
IN ORDER TO TELL YOU MY STORY,
I HAVE TO TELL YOU THEIRS.
[WIND BLOWING]
OK, THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
TIM STIFFED YOU AGAIN?
YEAH. AND IT HAD TO BE THE NIGHT
I FIND A POSSIBLE HOMICIDE.
AND GUESS WHO GETS TO DRIVE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO CENTRAL?
OH, THAT REALLY IS A LONG DRIVE.
LISTEN, DON'T TRY TO BE A HERO, OK?
GET YOURSELF A BED DOWN THERE
IF YOU GET TOO SLEEPY.
WELL, WHY DON'T YOU GIVE ME A LITTLE SOMETHING
TO STAY UP FOR?
LIKE--UHH--
WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?
NOTHING.
NO! NO, NO, NO.
TONIGHT'S PINK FLANNEL PAJAMA NIGHT, ISN'T IT?
OK, YES, IT IS.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU EITHER GET SEXY WIFE OR SENSIBLE WIFE,
AND YOU'RE NOT HOME, SO IT'S SENSIBLE.
FAIR ENOUGH.
[SIGHS]
CLIMB INTO BED. I'LL BE HOME SOON.
OK. LOVE YOU.
LOVE YOU, TOO.
[SIGHS]
EVENING, SIR.
CLANCY!
LONG TIME NO SEE.
WHAT'S HAPPENING, HAROLD?
OH, THE USUAL PARTY.
JUST DON'T ASK WHAT WE USE FOR PIÃ‘ATAS.
NEED A HAND?
YEAH, IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND.
ALL RIGHT, ON 3.
AND...3.
[BELCHES]
YOU COULDN'T TAKE TIME TO ASPIRATE THE GUY FOR ME?
SORRY. I'M FLYING SOLO.
FLAHERTY WAS SUPPOSED TO COME WITH,
BUT HE BAGGED OUT ON ME.
HOW ABOUT YOU? BUSY NIGHT?
NOT REALLY.
ALTHOUGH MR. KRUSHENZO
SHOULD LIGHTEN THINGS UP FOR US.
AUTOEROTIC ASPHYXIATION, HUH?
GOD BLESS THE WEIRD ONES.
WHAT'S THIS GUY'S DEAL?
OH, JOHN DOE.
NO I.D.
NOTHING IN THE FILES.
HE'S GONNA HAVE TO STAY ON ICE UNTIL SOMEBODY COMES FORWARD.
HE'S MISSING HIS MIDDLE TOE.
THAT LOOKS NEW.
DID YOU CHECK THE RECORDS ON HIM?
YEAH, I DID.
HE HADN'T HAD ANY FOOT SURGERY RECENTLY, SO...
I'M BACK AT SQUARE ZERO.
SAY HI TO MELINDA FOR ME, WILL YOU?
ALL RIGHT. WILL DO.
THANKS, HAROLD.
[GRUNTS] ALL RIGHT, YOU TAKE IT EASY HERE.
OK.
[ELECTRICITY ZAPPING]
[ZAPPING]
GREAT.
[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]
AAAHHH! [ELECTRICITY ZAPPING]
Girl: CAN YOU SEE US?
WHERE ARE YOU? WHERE ARE YOU?
[WHOOSH]
[CREAKING]
WHO ARE YOU?
[RUMBLING AND WHISPERING]
CAN YOU SHOW ME?
UH-UH.
OK, MAYBE YOU'RE CONFUSED.
AND YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND YET THAT YOU'RE DEAD.
NO.
DO YOU REMEMBER ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU DIED?
I DON'T THINK I DID.
HOME, MEL.
OOH. OH, THAT'S NOT THE LOOK I WAS HOPING TO SEE.
YEAH, WE HAD A...
A VISITOR, BUT HE'S GONE NOW.
WELL, I HOPE I DIDN'T BRING HIM HOME WITH ME.
DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ONCE THAT GHOSTS HATE MORGUES?
YEAH, THEY DO. THERE'S NO ENERGY FOR THEM.
IT SEEMED LIKE A NEW SPIRIT, THOUGH.
MAYBE HE WAS CONFUSED.
WELL, LET'S HOPE SO.
WANT ME TO...
RUB YOUR SHOULDERS?
OH, NO, THANKS.
OK.
AHEM. YOU HAVE A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP.
OH, THANKS, HONEY.
ARE YOU...
NOT WEARING WHAT I THINK YOU'RE NOT WEARING?
[GIGGLES]
HEY, BUDDY.
NO.
NO, NO.
YOU DON'T GET TO "HEY, BUDDY" ME.
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU?
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH GRIEF I'VE GOTTEN
FROM MY WIFE BECAUSE OF YOU?
YOU STOOD UP DELIA,
MELINDA'S FRIEND AND MY FRIEND, AND--
LOOK, I'M SORRY.
I--I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO FACE YOU
OR HER.
WHAT HAPPENED?
UM...
LOOK, IT WAS THE PRESSURE.
ALL RIGHT? WE--WE WERE JUST RUNNING INTO EACH OTHER
AROUND TOWN, GOING AT ITS OWN NICE PACE.
OK. SO THEN YOU JUST DON'T SHOW UP.
WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO, GET HER TO HATE YOU?
SOMETIMES IT'S MORE FUN TO THINK ABOUT THINGS
THAN ACTUALLY HAVE THEM.
YOU KNOW?
ALL RIGHT, FLAHERTY. YOU'RE MY FRIEND.
I WON'T JUDGE.
MUCH.
WAIT. I GOT TOTALLY TURNED AROUND.
THAT'S WHY I'M BACK.
WHAT?
I'M GONNA MAKE IT RIGHT WITH YOU,
I'M GONNA MAKE IT RIGHT WITH DELIA.
AT LEAST YOU REALIZE YOU'RE A MORON.
THAT'S A GOOD FIRST STEP.
BUT DELIA? HUH?
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT ONE.
YOU WATCH.
FLAHER--
DID YOU SEE MY RING?
NO.
[CAMERA CLICKING]
ALL OF THIS BECAUSE YOU LOST YOUR PARAMEDIC RING?
NO, REALLY, IT WAS STOLEN.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
I SAW THESE.
YEAH.
AND THAT'S NOT ALL.
YOU SEE HOW THE MIDDLE TOE'S MISSING
ON THE RIGHT FOOT?
I'VE SEEN THAT BEFORE.
TELL ME THIS IS JUST A PRANK
OR A DREAM. I'LL ACCEPT EITHER ONE.
HAROLD, HOW DO YOU LOSE A BODY?
MY BOSS WANTS TO KNOW THE SAME THING.
IT'S GONNA BE MY ASS IF I CAN'T COME UP WITH AN EXPLANATION.
ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS,
LAST NIGHT THE POWER WENT OUT.
I WENT TO CHECK THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
I HEAR THIS BANG.
COME BACK IN HERE...
HE'S GONE.
ALL I GOT ARE THE DIGITALS THAT I TOOK OF THE BODY.
CAN I SEE THEM?
LOOK, HAROLD, COULD SOMEBODY HAVE STOLEN THE BODY?
NO! NO. WE'RE LOCKED UP SOLID.
YOU KNOW THAT. WE HAVEN'T HAD A BREAK-IN SINCE THE EARLY NINETIES.
WHAT ABOUT THE GUY I BROUGHT IN?
HE'S FINE. STILL HERE.
HE HASN'T MOVED.
HOW DID THIS GUY DIE?
IT WAS AN ANONYMOUS HIT-AND-RUN.
YOU'RE SURE HE'S DEAD, RIGHT?
SHE'S GOT A POINT.
HE COULD HAVE GOT UP AND WALKED OUT.
THE GUY I BROUGHT--
EXCUSE ME.
I'VE BEEN DOING THIS A WHILE.
I KNOW DEAD.
LOOK.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
THIS IS A MORBIDITY THERMOMETER.
OK? WE USE IT TO MEASURE BODY TEMPERATURE.
HELPS US DETERMINE WHEN SOMEBODY DIED.
I HAVEN'T CLEARED IT SINCE I TOOK JOHN DOE'S TEMP LAST NIGHT.
90 DEGREES.
SEE, A BODY COOLS ONE DEGREE PER HOUR.
THIS IS NOT A PRANK.
THIS IS RIGOR MORTIS.
[BUZZER]
I GOT TO GO LET SOMEBODY IN DOWNSTAIRS.
DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING.
THANKS, HAROLD.
[DOOR CLOSES]
ALL RIGHT, ARE YOU SURE THAT THE GHOST FROM LAST NIGHT
IS THE GUY IN THE PHOTOGRAPH?
YEAH, POSITIVE.
I GOT A REALLY GOOD LOOK AT HIM LAST NIGHT.
HOW CAN THIS BE HAPPENING?
SOMEBODY CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD.
NO, AND IF HE HAS, WHY WOULD HE ALSO APPEAR AS--
Ghost: I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY. IT'S NOT ME.
WHAT?
HE'S HERE.
THE--THE--IN THE PHOTO?
THEY CAN'T HEAR ME. WHY CAN'T THEY HEAR ME?
WHO? THEM!
OK. TELL ME WHAT'S HAPPENING.
THEN TELL ME WHAT'S HAPPENING.
MY BODY IS MOVING.
YOU MEAN YOUR BODY'S BEING MOVED.
NO! I'M RUNNING.
MY FEET ARE BLEEDING.
I CUT THEM TRYING TO ESCAPE. I--
BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO ESCAPE.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?
PEOPLE ARE STARING AT ME.
I'VE STOLEN SOMETHING.
THERE'S--THERE'S PEOPLE.
SOLDIERS.
SOLDIERS?
STATUES.
HE'S MOVING.
HE'S IN VILLAGE SQUARE.
HOW CAN THEY SEE ME IF I'M DEAD?
THIS FOOTAGE IS FROM THE SECURITY CAMERAS AT THE DRY CLEANERS.
JIM GOT IT.
BIG BROTHER COMES TO GRANDVIEW.
CAN WE JUST WATCH AND TRY NOT TO SPEAK?
WHOA, HEY, UH, YOU'RE NOT GONNA ASK ME
TO SOLVE A CRIME, ARE YOU?
I MEAN, I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU THINK
I'M ALL THINGS TO ALL PEOPLE.
THE SHOPLIFTER IS DEAD.
DEAD, THAT SEEMS LIKE A HARSH PUNISHMENT.
THEY DON'T FOOL AROUND AT THIS DRY CLEANERS.
HE IS DEAD WHILE HE'S SHOPLIFTING.
YOU ARE WATCHING HIM DEAD. DEAD MAN WALKING.
DEAD MAN SHOPPING.
WE THINK THAT HE TOOK JIM'S RING.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT VOODOO?
I DON'T KNOW. WHAT I'VE SEEN IN HORROR MOVIES?
THAT'S UNFORTUNATE, BUT IT'S TYPICAL.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
THE VOODOO CULTURE IS VERY, VERY RICH IN HISTORY.
THEY BELIEVE IN SOMETHING CALLED TRI-BON-AGE.
WHICH ROUGHLY TRANSLATES TO "EARTH SOUL."
THE HAITIANS BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU DIE,
YOUR EARTH SOUL IS RELEASED INTO THE COSMOS.
BUT SOMETIMES YOUR EARTH SOUL GETS STUCK.
MAYBE IT EVEN COMES BACK AND GETS PUT INTO A CORPSE.
EVER HEARD OF ZOMBIES?
YEAH.
YEAH, PROBABLY WHAT YOU'VE SEEN IN THE MOVIES.
WELL, THE MYTH STARTS, SOMEBODY--
USUALLY A VOODOO PRIEST--
CAN TAKE THAT EARTH SOUL, PUT IT INTO A CORPSE,
AND CONTROL IT, MAKE IT DO WHATEVER IT WANTS.
WALK, TALK, WHATEVER.
BUT SOMETIMES THE EARTH SOUL--
NOT VERY HAPPY ABOUT IT.
AND THAT'S WHY IT'S COMING TO ME.
DID YOU SEE HOW CLUMSY IT WAS IN THAT VIDEO?
YEAH, LIKE IT COULDN'T STAND ON ITS FEET.
YEAH, IT'S LIKE THE SOUL IS TRYING
TO RE-EXERT CONTROL OVER THE BODY.
THEY'RE LITERALLY AT WAR WITH EACH OTHER, MELINDA.
OK, SO IF THE GHOST IN THE BODY IS COMING TO ME,
THEN WHO'S ACTUALLY IN THE BODY?
UH, WE'VE BEEN TALKING FOR, LIKE, 3 MINUTES.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO GIVE ME 8 TO 9 MINUTES
BEFORE I UNRAVEL THE ENTIRE MYSTERY, OK?
OK, SORRY. IT'S OK.
YOU KNOW WHAT I SAY ABOUT INSTANT GRATIFICATION?
WHAT? TAKES TOO LONG.
SO HERE'S WHAT WE GOT.
WE HAVE AN OCCUPYING FORCE IN THE BODY
THAT WE MUST HAVE LEAVE THE BODY.
WHICH MEANS YOU ARE GOING TO NEED THIS.
DIDN'T I GET THIS AT THE 99 CENT STORE?
MAYBE. I GOT MINE AT BED, BATH, AND VOODOO.
BUT THIS ONE WAS BLESSED BY A HAITIAN VOODOO SHAMAN.
OH, WHAT THAT IS IS ACTUALLY A SPIRIT JAR.
YOU LIGHT A FIRE INSIDE THERE,
AND IT GUIDES THE EARTH SOUL TO IT.
IT HELPS IT CROSS OVER.
OR IT'S FOR KEEPING MOSQUITOES AWAY.
I DON'T KNOW. IT MIGHT BE A CANDLE OR SOMETHING.
IT'S USEFUL EITHER WAY.
BYE.
[I'M SORRY PLAYING]
* I'M SORRY NOW, I'M SORRY NOW, I'M SORRY NOW *
* THIS ISN'T EASY, EASY TO SAY *
* I'M ONE BIG MISTAKE
* I'M SORRY NOW, I'M SORRY NOW, I'M SORRY NOW *
[SONG STOPS]
[NO AUDIO]
I LIKE THIS.
IT MAKES ME FEEL CALM.
MY NAME IS MELINDA.
CAN YOU TELL ME SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF,
LIKE YOUR NAME?
BRYAN.
BRYAN CURTIS.
BRYAN, GREAT.
THAT'S A GREAT START.
THIS CANDLE'S SUPPOSED TO HELP YOU CROSS OVER INTO THE LIGHT.
DO YOU SEE A LIGHT?
NOT YET.
[INHALES]
NOT WHILE THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING
TO MY BODY.
WHO'S CONTROLLING YOU?
CAN YOU SEE HIM?
NO.
BUT IT'S...IT'S HARD.
I LOSE TRACK OF WHO I AM WHEN HE'S DOING THIS.
WHERE I AM.
YOU WERE ABLE TO GIVE ME A DETAIL LAST TIME
TO HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHERE YOU WERE.
CAN YOU DO THAT AGAIN?
THERE'S A LIGHT.
A BLUE OR WHITE LIGHT.
WAIT, I--I CAN SEE IT.
IT'S...IT'S NEON. [BELL RINGS]
THERE'S A NEON SIGN.
WHAT DOES IT SAY?
UH...THERE'S-- IT'S--IT'S AN "X"!
OR A LETTER-- A "P," "R"--
I-- [BELL RINGS]
[SIGHS]
I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE,
BUT IT'S THE CLOSEST I CAN FIGURE OUT.
[ALARM RINGING]
I THINK, UH,
SOMEONE GOT HERE BEFORE WE DID.
MEL, I'M SURE THE COPS ARE COMING.
YOU THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA?
WELL, IT'S THE ONLY WAY WE CAN FREE BRYAN
FROM WHOEVER OR WHATEVER'S CONTROLLING HIM.
I CAN'T DO THAT IF HE'S IN JAIL.
[CRASHING]
[CRACKING]
IT'S THE BODY FROM THE MORGUE.
THAT'S HIM.
[CRACKING]
WHY IS HE MAKING THAT NOISE?
I THINK HE'S TRYING TO SET HIS OWN RIBS.
REMEMBER, HE GOT HIT BY THAT CAR?
UHH... BRYAN?
IT'S ME. MELINDA.
DO YOU REMEMBER? YOU CAME TO ME.
[CRACKING]
DO ALL YOUR GHOSTS LOOK LIKE THIS?
NO.
HE'S A ZOMBIE.
ARE YOU READY TO CROSS OVER YET?
I CAN'T.
NOT TILL HE'S OUT OF MY BODY.
NO...
I NEED TO FIND HER.
UM... WHO ARE YOU?
WHAT'S GOING ON? THERE'S ANOTHER GHOST
INSIDE BRYAN'S BODY.
HE'S JUST A KID.
I HAVE TO FIND HER.
UM...
I NEED TO...FINISH THE LIST.
Jim: OH, COME ON.
[BONES CRACKING]
[BONE SNAPS] UHH! UHH.
[BONES CRACKING]
UHH!
[RETREATING FOOTSTEPS]
THAT'S NOT NORMAL.
YEAH.
NOW I HAVE TO CROSS OVER 2 GHOSTS.
THE IDEA OF A GHOST IN A DEAD BODY
IS NOT AS OUT THERE AS IT SOUNDS.
SEE, THE THING THAT BOTHERS ME
IS THAT USUALLY WHEN A GHOST
TAKES OVER A LIVING BODY,
IT'S IN SHORT SPURTS.
BUT THIS GHOST IS JUST...
RUNNING FULL-BORE OVER THIS PERSON.
WHICH TAKES EVERYTHING YOU AND I KNOW
ABOUT THE SUPERNATURAL
AND PRETTY MUCH JUST BLOWS IT OUT OF THE WATER.
HEY, LET'S SAY KURT COBAIN
TAKES OVER ELVIS' BODY.
DOES ELVIS KNOW NEW LICKS ON THE GUITAR NOW?
IS HE GRUNGE?
[STAMMERS] WHAT HAPPENS?
HOW MUCH OF YOUR OLD BODY
DO YOU BRING INTO YOUR NEW BODY?
AND--AND DO THE HIPS STILL WORK?
WHEN I SAW BRYAN AND THE GHOST INSIDE HIM,
HE LOOKED LIKE A TEENAGER.
EXCEPT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG
WITH ONE OF HIS EYES. IT DROOPED.
DROOPED HOW?
LIKE A MUSCULAR SPASM OR A PURPOSEFUL EFFECT?
SPASM.
[SOFTLY] Spasm...
DO YOU REMEMBER HOW CLUMSY THAT GHOST WAS
THAT WE SAW ON THE VIDEO?
HOW HE WAS HAVING SUCH A HARD TIME WITH HIS BODY?
RIGHT. YEAH.
AND THEN I GAVE YOU SOME WEIRDO LINE.
I SAID, "THE BODY AND SOUL
ARE LITERALLY AT WAR WITH EACH OTHER."
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
AND YOU BELIEVED ME, 'CAUSE YOU ALWAYS DO.
BUT I THINK YOUR TRUTH
MIGHT BE A LITTLE MORE GROUNDED.
IS THIS WHAT YOU SAW, MELINDA?
YEAH, THAT'S IT.
YEAH, WELL, THIS IS VERY COMMON
IN DEGENERATIVE DISEASES THAT AFFECT MOTOR SKILLS.
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, CEREBRAL PALSY.
MAYBE THE GHOST THAT TOOK OVER THIS BODY
HAD A SIMILAR HANDICAP.
UH, DEFECT, WHATEVER.
HE'S NOT CLUMSY ANYMORE.
RIGHT. RIGHT!
HE'S NOT CLUMSY, 'CAUSE HE'S IN HIS NEW BODY.
HE'S GETTING THE LAY OF THE LAND.
HE'S SAYING, HEY, THIS ISN'T THE OLD DEAD ME.
THIS IS THE NEW DEAD ME.
NOT TO MENTION, LIVING OUT HIS WILDEST DREAMS.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? IF YOU COULDN'T WALK,
AND YOU SAW KIDS RUNNING AND JUMPING
AND DOING ALL THE THINGS YOU DREAMED OF DOING,
WHEN--WHEN YOU COULD,
WOULDN'T YOU TRADE UP FOR A NEW BODY?
WOULDN'T YOU EVEN COME BACK FROM THE DEAD
FOR A NEW BODY?
OK, SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT THIS KID
WAITED FOR SOMEBODY TO DIE
SO HE COULD COME BACK AND LIVE AGAIN
WITHOUT A HANDICAP?
DO YOU THINK IT'S EASY BEING THIS BRILLIANT, MELINDA?
IT'S NOT.
SOMETIMES IT MAKES--
IT MAKES MY HEAD HURT, RIGHT HERE.
OK, WELL, THERE MAY BE MORE TO IT THAN THAT.
HE SAID THAT HE HAD TO FIND HER
AND FINISH SOME KIND OF LIST.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "HER"?
HE DIDN'T SAY.
YOU MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM. WHY?
YOU SAID WHAT, THAT GHOST WAS 16 YEARS OLD?
NOW YOU'RE DEALING WITH SOMETHING
THAT'S MORE UNPREDICTABLE
THAN A HAITIAN DEATH CULTURE.
YOU'RE DEALING WITH A TEENAGE GHOST
INSIDE A MAN'S BODY
WITH RAGING HORMONES LOOKING FOR A GIRL.
GOOD LUCK.
[SIGHS]
Woman: * JUST LOOK AROUND
* YOU'RE ALL ALONE
* OPEN YOUR EYES, YOUR EYES *
* THEY'RE MADE OF STONE
* JUST LOOK AROUND
* THERE'S NO ONE THERE...
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[TELEPHONE BEEPS]
HELLO?
HI, CAN I SPEAK WITH ALYSSA ADAMS, PLEASE?
THIS IS ALYSSA.
OH, GREAT! HI! THIS IS MELINDA GORDON.
I'M ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR SOME INFORMATION
ON JASON BENNETT.
I READ YOUR, UH, MEMORIAL PAGE
IN THE YEARBOOK.
IS THIS FOR THE REUNION REEL?
SORRY?
FOR THE 10-YEAR REUNION.
I WAS ALREADY CONTACTED ABOUT THIS,
AND I THINK HIS PARENTS
ARE CONTRIBUTING SOMETHING.
YES! YES, THIS IS FOR THE REUNION.
THE ONE THIS WEEKEND, YEAH.
[LAUGHS]
YOU KNOW, COULD WE MEET?
BECAUSE I'D REALLY LIKE TO TALK TO YOU MORE ABOUT HIM.
[CELL PHONE RINGS] AAH!
[RING]
HELLO?
SORRY. DID I SET THE RINGER TOO LOUD?
ARE YOU WATCHING ME?
ONLY IN THE FUN WAY.
NOT IN THAT CRAZY STALKER WAY.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
TO SAY I'M SORRY.
YOU ALREADY DID THAT.
THIS IS PHASE TWO.
LOOK, YOU DON'T GET TO CUTE YOUR WAY
OUT OF THIS.
YOU LEFT ME STANDING ON THE STREET
WAITING FOR YOU.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
HOW HUMILIATING THAT WAS?
AND THEN I HAD TO WALK HOME AFTER THAT?
I GOT NO PHONE CALL, NO EXPLANATION--
I HAVE AN EXPLANATION NOW.
IT'S TOO LATE.
AND...
SINCE IT TOOK YOU THIS LONG,
YOU'RE EVEN LAMER THAN I THOUGHT.
TRUE.
COMPLETELY, TOTALLY TRUE.
BUT...
IF I COULD JUST BUY YOU A CUP OF COFFEE,
YOU KNOW, OR--OR ANY DARK LIQUID.
JUST HAVE A MINUTE.
TIM, I GAVE YOU A MINUTE.
IN FACT, I GAVE YOU 30 LONG MINUTES.
AND YOU BLEW IT.
WELL, WE FOUND ONE OF HIS OLD YEARBOOKS,
AND THERE WAS A REFERENCE
TO A SPECIAL GIRL.
I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU--
WE LOVED EACH OTHER,
BUT...JUST FRIENDS.
WOW.
HE WAS SO ACTIVE.
YEAH.
HE HAD MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY,
BUT HE DIDN'T LIKE TO LET ONE DAY GO BY
WITHOUT FEELING LIKE HE ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING.
LIKE ON THE DAY WE MET, IT WAS IN DETENTION.
HMM, DETENTION.
HE WAS IN DETENTION ALL THE TIME.
[LAUGHS]
DO YOU KNOW THOSE OLD SHOWERS IN THE CHEM LAB?
WITH THAT EMERGENCY HANDLE JUST IN CASE
SOME KID SETS HIMSELF ON FIRE?
HE ROLLED HIMSELF UNDER ONE OF THOSE,
AND SHOUTED, "NAME THE MOVIE."
CUT TO JASON, DRIPPING WET IN DETENTION
AND JUST FURIOUS THAT NO ONE FIGURED IT OUT.
FLASHDANCE?
YEAH.
I WAS THE FIRST TO GIVE HIM THE RIGHT ANSWER.
AND HE SAID, I HAD NO CHOICE.
WE WOULD HAVE TO BE BEST FRIENDS FROM THEN ON.
IT'S BEEN 10 YEARS, AND I STILL MISS HIM.
WE PULLED SO MANY SCHEMES TOGETHER.
JUST TO FEEL LIKE HE COULD LIVE.
IS THAT WHY YOU TOOK OUT THE PAGE IN THE YEARBOOK?
"NOT ONE DAY WASTED."
YEAH.
UM... WHAT'S THIS LIST?
AT THE END,
JASON SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN THE HOSPITAL.
AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE WORST TIME,
BUT IT WASN'T.
WE DREAMED UP A LIST OF THINGS TO DO
BEFORE WE DIED.
"BUNGEE JUMP OFF GRAND CANYON"?
HIM.
"OPEN A STUDIO IN PARIS."
YEAH, SO I COULD WORK ON MY COLLAGES.
HE KNEW THAT HE WOULD NEVER LEAVE THAT ROOM,
AND IT COULDN'T STOP HIM FROM DREAMING.
IT MEANT SO MUCH TO HIM.
WELL, YOU KEPT THE LIST.
IT MUST HAVE MEANT SOMETHING TO YOU, TOO.
NO.
THE FURTHER THE YOU GET FROM HIGH SCHOOL,
THE HARDER IT IS TO MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE.
I STILL ENJOY MY ART,
BUT I AM NOT GOING TO BE SELLING IT
NEXT TO THE EIFFEL TOWER ANYTIME SOON.
JASON'S THE ONE THAT COULD HAVE DONE IT.
NOT ME.
AND WHAT ABOUT THIS LAST THING?
"FIND STEPHANIE HARDWICK"?
HOMECOMING QUEEN.
UHH...
THE GIRL EVERYBODY LOVED.
HE WANTED TO FIND HER AT THE REUNION AND KISS HER.
REALLY?
WHAT GUY WOULDN'T WANT TO KISS THE HOMECOMING QUEEN?
BUT...
WHY AT THE REUNION?
I MEAN, WHAT WAS SPECIAL ABOUT THAT?
BY 2007, JASON...
HE WAS SURE THEY'D HAVE A CURE FOR HIS M.D.
AND HE'D BE ABLE TO WALK INTO THE REUNION, AND--
BE THE MAN HE DREAMED OF BEING.
I MEAN, WHO DOESN'T WANT TO GO
TO THEIR HIGH SCHOOL REUNION
NOT LOOKING LIKE A ROCK STAR?
I KNOW. JASON WAITED FOR A BODY
HE KNEW WOULD FIT IN AT THE REUNION.
SOMEONE HIS OWN AGE, SOMEONE HANDSOME.
EVEN THE CLOTHES HE TOOK.
YEAH, JUST TO IMPRESS MISS STEPHANIE.
BEFORE HE PLANTS ONE ON HER.
OH, GOD.
IF HE GETS TO HER BEFORE I CAN STOP HIM--
YOU SHOULD SLIP HIM AN ALTOID AT LEAST.
OK, YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT IS NOT FUNNY.
HERE SHE IS.
HMM.
YOU KNOW, WHAT IF THE BODY THAT JASON TOOK
WASN'T AN ACCIDENT?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
STEPHANIE HARDWICK. HOMECOMING QUEEN.
YEAH?
LOOK AT THE HOMECOMING KING.
WOW.
BRYAN AND JASON WERE CLASSMATES.
JASON DIDN'T PICK A RANDOM BODY.
HE PICKED THE BODY.
OF HER DATE 10 YEARS AGO.
"VARSITY QUARTERBACK, VALEDICTORIAN."
WELL, LOOKS LIKE THE MOST POPULAR GUY AT SCHOOL
IS GONNA BE GOING TO HIS HIGH SCHOOL REUNION AFTER ALL.
YEAH.
HE'LL JUST BE A LOT DIFFERENT
THAN THEY REMEMBER.
USUALLY A CORPSE IS GONNA TAKE 6 TO 8 DAYS TO DECAY.
WE'RE ONLY ON DAY 3.
THAT'S ASSUMING A PERFECT STRESS-FREE ENVIRONMENT HERE.
WHICH WE DON'T HAVE.
I MEAN, THIS GUY IS REALLY PUTTING HIS BODY
THROUGH THE RINGER.
SO HOW LONG WILL IT BE BEFORE HE BREAKS DOWN?
I WOULD SAY 6, MAYBE 8 HOURS.
THAT SOON? MAYBE LESS,
IF HE KEEPS JUMPING THROUGH FLAMING HOOPS.
MY GOSH, NATURE'S RUNNING ITS COURSE ON THIS GUY.
WHEN WE FIRST FOUND HIM,
HE WAS TRYING TO SET HIS RIBS.
WELL, HE PROBABLY KNOWS
HIS BODY WON'T HOLD OUT ON HIM.
SO IF YOU WERE TRYING TO PRESERVE YOUR BODY
FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE,
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
I WOULD GET SOME KIND OF MAKEUP.
MAYBE THE TYPE A MORTICIAN WOULD USE.
COVER UP THE APPEARANCE OF DEAD SKIN.
OK. THERE'S ONLY ONE MORTUARY IN GRANDVIEW.
THANKS.
JIM?
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
HEY, DEAD GUY.
CAN I HAVE MY RING BACK?
Melinda: HOW'S HE BEEN?
Jim: FINE. ONCE I RESTRAINED HIM.
IS THIS REALLY NECESSARY?
I'M SORRY, ALL RIGHT?
JASON, WE CAN'T LET YOU GO TO THAT REUNION.
WHY NOT? I'M NOT GONNA HURT ANYONE.
NO, BUT YOU WANTED TO KISS
THAT STEPHANIE HARDWICK, YOU KNOW?
THE LAST THING ON YOUR LIST? COME ON.
I WAS NEVER ACTUALLY GONNA DO THAT.
THAT WAS-- THAT WAS JUST A GOOF.
I JUST WANTED TO GO AND ENJOY MYSELF.
OK, EVEN IF THAT'S TRUE,
YOUR BODY'S BREAKING DOWN,
AND YOU'RE NOT BRYAN.
YOU LIVED YOUR LIFE,
AND YOU CAN'T STEAL SOMEBODY ELSE'S.
I DIDN'T STEAL IT.
HE ABANDONED IT. THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE.
YOU'VE BEEN HAUNTING HIM
THIS WHOLE TIME, HAVEN'T YOU?
MM-MMM, NOT HAUNTING, JUST...
CHECKING IN. [LAUGHS]
I WAS CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT MR. MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED
WAS GONNA DO WITH HIS LIFE
AFTER HE DROPPED OUT OF COLLEGE.
WHOA. BACK UP.
HE DROPPED OUT OF COLLEGE?
HE BARELY MADE IT THROUGH A SEMESTER.
ISN'T THAT RIGHT, BRYAN?
SHUT UP.
YOU WANT TO TELL HER WHAT, UH, HAPPENED
AFTER GRADUATION, OR SHOULD I?
SHUT UP.
Bryan: YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE.
WELL, ACTUALLY, I...
DO.
YOU SEE, LIFE WASN'T SO KIND AFTER SENIOR YEAR.
COLLEGE BALL WAS A LITTLE TOUGHER,
CLASSES TOOK A LITTLE BIT MORE EFFORT,
BRYAN JUST COULDN'T JUGGLE IT ALL
LIKE HE COULD WHEN HE WAS 17,
AND HE ENDED UP GETTING CUT FROM THE TEAM,
EVENTUALLY DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL,
AND BASICALLY SPENT THE LAST 10 YEARS
STUDYING HIS LIFE FROM THE BOTTOM OF A GLASS.
IS THAT TRUE?
I MEAN, HE COASTED ON CHARM FOR A WHILE.
HE WAS ALWAYS GOOD WITH THE GIRLS,
BUT EVEN THAT FADED.
IT GETS TO A POINT WHERE
GIRLS REALLY AREN'T INTERESTED IN A GUY
WHO CAN'T KEEP A JOB FOR LONGER THAN 6 MONTHS.
I MEAN, EVEN STEPHANIE-- THE HOMECOMING QUEEN--
MOVED ON, GOT ENGAGED TO THAT, UH...
THAT GUY, UH, RICK.
SECOND STRING ON THE FOOTBALL TEAM.
THAT WASN'T FAIR.
HE DIDN'T DESERVE HER.
I MEAN, HOW COULD I SHOW UP
AT A REUNION AND...
I DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE.
HE ENDED UP IN A BAR, ALONE.
TRYING TO CONVINCE A COMPLETE STRANGER
TO GO TO OUR REUNION WITH HIM.
COME ON! YOU'LL BE DOING ME THIS HUGE FAVOR.
NO, LOOK. I JUST MET YOU.
LOOK, PLEASE.
OH, GOD. JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU REALIZE
YOU PEAKED IN HIGH SCHOOL? I MEAN...
WHEN YOU GOT NOTHING TO LIVE FOR,
HOW DO YOU TALK TO ALL THOSE PEOPLE
WHEN ALL THEY REMEMBER IS HOW YOU USED TO BE?
DO YOU FACE 'EM,
OR DO YOU FREEZE YOURSELF IN TIME?
AND LEAVE NOTHING BUT A MEMORY
AND A GOOD-LOOKING CORPSE?
NO! [CAR HONKS]
YOU WERE TOO SCARED TO LIVE?
IT WAS TOO HARD.
ALL OF IT WAS JUST TOO HARD.
OH, BOO-HOO.
TELL THAT TO THE KID
WHO SPENT HIS LIFE IN A WHEELCHAIR.
BRYAN, YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU DIDN'T HAVE
ANY UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
THIS REUNION IS YOUR UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
I CAN'T.
I CAN'T WALK IN THERE
AND JUST SEE ALL THOSE PEOPLE.
AND WHAT? FACE A DIFFICULT CHOICE
FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE?
I MEAN, DO YOU REALIZE WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE
WITH JUST...
ONE?
JUST ONE OF THOSE CHANCES THAT YOU...
THREW AWAY.
DO YOU PROMISE THAT YOU WON'T HARASS STEPHANIE?
I SWEAR ON MY LIFE.
HUH?
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
CUT JASON LOOSE.
YOU GOT IT.
UH, YOU SURE ABOUT THIS?
YES, I AM SURE.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY I'M GONNA BE ABLE
TO CROSS BOTH OF THEM OVER
IS TO GET BOTH OF THEM BACK TO THE REUNION.
LET'S GO BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL.
ARE YOU SURE THIS LOOKS NATURAL?
THIS FOUNDATION SEEMS A LITTLE HEAVY.
JASON, THIS IS THE LEAST OF YOUR PROBLEMS, OK?
JUST STAY OUT OF DIRECT LIGHT.
IT'LL MAKE THE MAKEUP LOOK BETTER AND...
WELL, STOP YOU FROM MELTING.
[LAUGHS] GOT IT.
YEAH, AND WHAT ABOUT ME?
AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN EVERYBODY ASKS ME,
"HEY, MAN. YOU KNOW.
"WHAT YOU BEEN DOING WITH YOURSELF
THE PAST 10 YEARS"?
I DON'T KNOW. TELL 'EM THE TRUTH.
ANOTHER GUY IS GOING TO MY REUNION
IN MY BODY, MELINDA.
I THINK WE'RE BEING A LITTLE LOOSE
WITH THE TRUTH, DON'T YOU THINK?
OK, FINE.
WE'LL MAKE A DEAL.
JASON GOES IN, HE WILL SAY AND DO
EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT.
THE TRADE-OFF IS
THAT YOU HAVE TO BE HONEST.
WITH YOUR OLD FRIENDS
AND EVEN WITH YOURSELF.
DEAL? DEAL.
FINE, I'LL DO IT.
BUT I WON'T ENJOY IT.
ME NEITHER.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
HEY, HEY! LOOK WHO'S HERE!
NOW WE GOT A PARTY!
THE HOMECOMING KING!
HOW'S IT GOING?
GOOD TO SEE YOU!
HEY. Second Man: HEY, MAN,
WHAT YOU BEEN DOING WITH YOURSELF THE LAST 10 YEARS?
I WAS A PARAMEDIC FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.
PARAMEDIC? COOL.
ALL RIGHT, THIS IS NOT HELPING.
OK, GUYS.
WHAT?
YOU LYING ABOUT BRYAN'S PAST.
THAT WAS NOT PART OF OUR DEAL.
FINE WITH ME. REALLY.
BRYAN HAD TO TELL THE TRUTH.
YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ME.
BESIDES, YOU WERE THE ONE
WHO WAS WORRIED ABOUT ANYBODY NOTICING
A CORPSE IN THE MIDST.
I HAD TO COME UP WITH SOME ALI--
THERE SHE IS. WOW.
SHE HASN'T CHANGED A BIT.
OH, GOD.
THIS IS IT.
I GOT TO GO AND SAY HI.
OOH!
NO. HOLD IT.
YOU MADE ME A PROMISE.
AND SO FAR, YOU ARE BATTING ZERO
ON YOUR WORD.
HEY, TALK. THAT'S ALL. I SWEAR.
THANK YOU.
BRYAN!
WHAT'S UP, BUDDY?
OH, HEY. UH, RICK.
SO WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON WITH YOU?
UH, NOT MUCH.
I WAS, UH, I WAS JUST GONNA SAY HI--
YEAH, YOU KNOW WE'RE ENGAGED NOW?
UH, YEAH. YEAH, I READ THAT.
CONGRATULATIONS.
GOD, THAT MUST KILL YOU A LITTLE BIT.
'CAUSE YOU GUYS WERE SO CUTE AS A COUPLE,
AND THEN, THE STAR QUARTERBACK
LOSES HER TO THE BACKUP.
OK, YOU KNOW WHAT? MAYBE WE SHOULD GO
AND TALK TO SOMEBODY ELSE. HELLO.
NO, YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
THIS GUY'S A JEALOUS PUNK.
HE ALWAYS HAS BEEN.
SO I HEARD YOU'RE A BIG, HEROIC PARAMEDIC NOW.
THAT IS GREAT. I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU.
BUT THAT WAS AFTER YOU BLEW THE BIG GAME
AGAINST STATE, RIGHT?
[CHUCKLES]
MAN, THAT WAS LONG TIME AGO. WHO CARES?
I CARE.
BECAUSE SOME THINGS DON'T CHANGE.
LIKE WHAT COACH USED TO TELL US.
"YOU GOT TO WANT IT."
YOU STILL WANT IT, BRYAN?
OR DID YOU GIVE UP?
OK, JASON, YOU'RE GONNA REPEAT
EVERYTHING I SAY.
[WHISPERS] We really don't have time for this.
WE MADE A DEAL.
OK...
ALL RIGHT. HERE'S WHAT YOU'RE GONNA SAY.
YOU'RE RIGHT, RICK. I DID GIVE UP.
AND NOT A DAY GOES BY WHERE I DON'T THINK ABOUT
HOW MUCH I WASTED,
HOW MANY OPPORTUNITIES I LET SLIP
BECAUSE I WAS TOO SCARED.
BUT YOU COME TO THE POINT
WHERE YOU NEED TO LET YOUR REGRETS GO, TOO,
OR THEY TAKE OVER YOUR LIFE.
I WAS LUCKY.
I GOT THAT CHANCE.
NOT EVERYBODY DOES.
ALSO, 3 YEARS AGO,
I TOTALLY NAILED YOUR SISTER.
Melinda: Was that last part really necessary?
Bryan: DID YOU SEE THE LOOK ON HIS FACE?
YEAH, AND HE'S PISSED AT ME.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
STAY AWAY FROM HER, YOU LOSER.
AAH! JASON!
[BOTH GROAN]
AAH!
WHY YOU GOT TO BE SUCH A JERK?
AAH. THANK YOU.
I GOT IT. THANKS. UHH!
Woman: BRYAN!
Bryan: I AM SO SORRY ABOUT RICK.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
I'M FINE.
I'M JUST GONNA GO GET CLEANED UP.
[STRAINING] YOU LOOK GREAT, BY THE WAY.
Melinda: It's all right.
UHH... WE ARE LEAVING RIGHT NOW.
Man: WALK IT OFF. WALK IT OFF, MAN.
YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.
JUST A LITTLE FURTHER, ALL RIGHT?
Bryan: WHAT CAN WE DO?
UHH! I DON'T KNOW.
WE CAN'T SEND HIM TO A HOSPITAL.
HE'S ALREADY DEAD.
UHH!
THIS DOES NOT... FEEL GOOD.
THIS IS ALL MY FAULT.
WHY DID I OPEN MY BIG MOUTH?
JASON, YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME.
IS THERE A MESSAGE THAT YOU WANT ME
TO GIVE TO STEPHANIE?
ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT ME TO TELL HER?
WHAT'S THAT LIGHT?
NO. NO, JASON, YOU STAY WITH ME, OK?
JASON, JUST STAY WITH ME, PLEASE?
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS LOOKING AT?
[GASPS]
YOU'RE HERE.
WELL, YEAH, I'M HERE.
I MEAN, I'M A GHOST AGAIN,
BUT YOU KNOW THAT-- AHEM--
THAT'S OK.
YEAH, BUT I-- I THOUGHT YOU
WERE GOING INTO THE LIGHT.
I MEAN, YOU SAID, "WHAT IS THAT LIGHT?"
YEAH, I THINK THAT WAS ACTUALLY THE, UH,
THE STREETLAMP.
BEHIND YOU, IT WAS GIVING YOU A KIND OF A WEIRD GLOW.
MADE YOU LOOK LIKE AN ANGEL.
I'M GLAD YOU'RE BACK.
THANK YOU.
UH...
I DO HAVE ONE LAST FAVOR.
THERE'S A GIRL I NEED TO GET A MESSAGE TO.
[WOMAN LAUGHING] I KNOW.
Second woman: I'M SO TIRED.
I KNOW. [INDISTINCT]
ARE YOU OK? HMM.
IT'S BEEN A LONG WHILE.
HOW'S BRYAN?
OH, HE'S-- HE'S FINE.
UM, COULD I TALK TO YOU FOR A MOMENT?
SURE. NO PROBLEM.
MAYBE MY FIANCÃ‰'S SOBERED UP BY NOW.
[CHUCKLES]
SO IT TURNS OUT THAT I HAVE SOMETHING
TO GIVE YOU.
WHAT IS IT?
JASON WROTE THIS.
IT'S HIS HANDWRITING.
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO EXPLAIN,
BUT THE IMPORTANT THING
IS THAT JASON WANTED YOU TO HAVE IT.
I DON'T DESERVE IT.
JASON IS THE ONE WHO ACCOMPLISHED EVERYTHING.
I NEVER DID ANYTHING.
Jason: NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE.
SHE LOOKED AT ME AND SAW ME...
AND NOT JUST A KID IN A WHEELCHAIR.
DO YOU REMEMBER ALL THE REALLY GOOD THINGS
THAT YOU SAID YOU SAW IN JASON?
HE FELT THAT.
HE CHERISHED IT.
AND HE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO...
LIVE AS MUCH IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU.
TELL HER TO LOOK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST.
OH, YEAH.
YOU SHOULD LOOK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST.
[ALYSSA SNIFFS]
I WASN'T EVEN SURE I WANTED TO COME TO THIS REUNION.
[LAUGHING]
THANK YOU.
SO...
YOU GUYS READY TO CROSS OVER NOW?
WELL, YOU KNOW,
THEY'RE ABOUT TO PRESENT AWARDS NEXT,
MAYBE-- MAYBE WE'LL GET
"TRAVELED FURTHEST TO BE HERE."
[ALL LAUGH]
JEEZ.
ARE YOU AS SCARED TO GO INTO THAT
AS I AM?
UH...
YEAH.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SCARED.
BUT WHAT IF I DON'T GET IT RIGHT?
NOT POSSIBLE.
THERE'S NO WAY YOU COULD GET IT WRONG, SO...
OH...LET'S...
LET'S GO LIVE A LITTLE.
LET IT ALL GO.
Man: * CAN YOU TELL ME HOW WE GOT IN THIS SITUATION? *
SO WAS HAROLD HAPPY
TO HAVE HIS MISSING BODY BACK?
HE WAS. AND HE DIDN'T EVEN ASK
WHY THE DEAD GUY WAS WEARING A SUIT.
THE ESTATE SALE WORKED OUT WELL.
HEY, HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF HAIR JEWELRY?
YEAH, IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A SCAM.
OH.
WHAT?
WOW.
IF YOU WON'T GO TO COFFEE,
THE COFFEE WILL COME TO YOU.
HE'LL STAY OUT THERE ALL DAY.
BELIEVE ME, HE WILL.
YEAH, MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST GO OUT THERE
AND GET IT OVER WITH.
* WE'RE ONLY HUMAN
* IS THERE ANY OTHER REASON WHY WE STAY INSTEAD OF LEAVING? *
* IF YOU FEEL I'M LETTING GO *
* JUST GIVE ME A SIGN
* I'LL COME RUNNING TO YOUR SIDE *
* CAN YOU TELL ME HOW WE GOT IN THIS SITUATION? *
* I CAN'T SEEM TO GET YOU OFF MY MIND *
