It's getting cold.
That is one fine frame.
One fine frame that is.
How much...
does a fine frame like thatcost, do you think?
I never told you, but you sound a littlelike Dr. Seuss when you're drunk.
I know.I'm serious.
Serious, I am.
I'd say it cost at leasta couple hundred.
- I'm gonna read it for you.- Do I really sound like Dr. Seuss?
"In recognition of hisoutstanding achievement...
- " in the field of child psychology,- Mm-hmm.
his dedication to his work and his continuingefforts to improve the quality of life-- "
Will you concentrate?
"...his continuing efforts toimprove the quality of life...
"for countless children and their families,
"the city of Philadelphiaproudly bestows upon its son...
Dr. Malcolm Crowe--"That's you--
"...the Mayor's Citationfor professional excellence."
They called you their son.
Wow.
We should hang itin the bathroom.
This is an importantnight for us.
Finally, someone is recognizingthe sacrifices you've made--
that you have put everythingsecond, including me,
for those families thatthey're talking about.
They're also saying thatmy husband has a gift.
You have a giftthat teaches children...
how to be strong in situations...
where most adultswould piss on themselves.
I believe what they wrote is real.
Thank you.
- I would like some wine in a glass.- Mm- hmm.
I would not like itin a mug.
I would not like it in a jug.
Look.
Anna, don't move.Don't make a sound.
This is 47 Locus Street.
You've broken a windowand entered a private residence.
You don't know so many things.
There are no needles or prescriptiondrugs of any kind in this house.
Do you know why you're afraidwhen you're alone?
I do.I do.
What do you want?
What he promised me!I want what he promised me.
- Oh, my God.- Do I know you?
Don't you know me, hero?
Don't you even rememberyour own patients?
Downtown clinic.
Single- parent family.
Possible mood disorder.
I was afraid!
You told me I was having troublecoping with my parents' divorce.
You were wrong.You were wrong.
Now look at me!
- I don't want to be afraid no more.- Just give me a minute to think.
I waitedten years for you!
I'm not giving you nothing!
Ben Friedkin?
Some people,they call me "freak."
Ryan Summer?
I am. I am a freak.Look at--
Vincent.
Vincent Gray.
No, you don't.
I do remember you.
Quiet, very smart.
Compassionate.
Unusually compassionate.
You forgot cursed.
You failed me.
You failed me!
Vincent, I'm sorry if I wasn't--if I didn't help you.
But if you just let me try,
if you justgive me a chance--
Oh, God! Oh, God!
- Did Vincent--- Don't talk. Shh.
It's okay, Cole.
My name is Dr. Malcolm Crowe.
We were supposed to meet today,but I missed our appointment.
I'm sorry.
You know, in the olden days in Europe,people used to hide out in churches.
They would claim sanctuary.
What were they hiding from?
Bad people, mostly.
People that wanted toput them in jail, hurt them.
I noticed your eyeglasses.They don't have any lenses in them.
They're my dad's.
The lenses hurt my eyes.
What were you talking about with yoursoldiers when I came in? Day--
Deprofundus clamoadite domine.
It's called " Latin."
- All your soldiers speak Latin?- No.
Just one.
Are you a good doctor?
Well,
I used to be.
I won an award oncefrom the mayor.
It had an expensive frame.
I'm gonna see you again, right?
If that's okay with you.
It's me.
The turnpike westbound slowsat Valley Forge 24.
On the Blue Ridge, both directions generallyslow between number three and two--
Hey, good morning.
Cole.
Cole!
Hey, your Cocoa Puffsare gettin' soggy.
Let me see you.Oh, honey, you got a spot.
Head up.
Okay, here we go.
Something you werelooking for, baby?
Pop Tarts?
They're right here.
Oh.
Well, what are youthinking, Mama?
Lots of things.
Anything bad about me?
Hey, look at my face.
I was not thinkingsomething bad about you.
Got it?
Got it.
Here, head up.
- That's Tommy.- That's okay. You tuck it in.
Cole, you want this?
Hey, freak, how'd you like that"arm around the shoulder" bit?
I just made that up.I went with it.
It's what great actors do.It's called "improve."
Hey, baby.
How was your day?
Hmm?
You know, you can tell me thingsIf you need to.
Well, you knowwhat I did today?
I, uh, I won the Pennsylvania Lotteryin the morning,
I quit my jobs,
and I ate a big picnic in the parkwith lots of chocolate mousse pie.
And then I swamin the fountain all afternoon.
What'd you do?
I was picked first forkick ball teams at recess.
I hit a grand slamto win the game.
Everybody lifted me up on their shouldersand carried me around, cheering.
Well, in that case, I am gonnamake you some triangle pancakes.
You got an hour.
Hi.
Wanna sit?
Don't feel like talking today?
Wanna play a game?
It's a mind- reading game.
Here's how it works.
I read your mind.
If what I say is right, you takeone step towards the chair.
If what I say is wrong,you take one step back...
towards the doorway.
If you reach the chair,you sit down.
If you reach the door,you can go.
Wanna play?
Okay.
When your mother and fatherwere first divorced,
your mom went to see a doctorlike me, and he didn't help her.
So you think I'm not goingto be able to help you.
You're worried that she saidshe told him things--
things she couldn't tellanyone else.
Secrets.
You have a secret,but you don't want to tell me.
Your dad gave you that watchas a present just before he went away.
He forgot it in a drawer.
Doesn't work.
You keep pretty quietin school, but...
you're a good student, you've neverreally been in any serious trouble.
We were supposedto draw a picture.
Anything we wanted.
I drew a man.
He got hurt in the neck byanother man with a screwdriver.
You saw that on TV, Cole?
Everyone got upset.
They had a meeting.
Mom started crying.
I don't drawlike that anymore.
How do you draw now?
I draw... people smiling,
dogs running,
rainbows.
They don't have meetingsabout rainbows.
No. I guess they don't.
What am I thinking now?
I don't knowwhat you're thinking now.
I was thinking...
you're nice,
but you can't help me.
I thought you meant the other Italianrestaurant I asked you to marry me in.
I'm so sorry, Anna.
I just can't seemto keep track of time.
And I didn't havea very good session today.
They're both so similar.
The same mannerisms, same expressions,same things hanging over their head.
I think it might besome kind of abuse.
Cole has...scratches on his arm.
I think they might befingernail cuts.
Defensive cuts, maybe.I don't know.
Maybe a teacher or a neighbor.
I don't think it's the mother. I've seen herwith him, and it doesn't seem to fit.
Or I could just be wrong.
Maybe he's just a kidwho likes to climb trees a lot.
Anna.
I know that I've beena little distant, all right?
I know that it makes you mad.I just...
feel like I'm being given a second chance,and I don't want it to slip away.
Anna.
Happy anniversary.
Stop looking at me.
I don't like when peoplelook at me like that.
Okay.
I walk this way to schoolwith Tommy Tammisimo.
Is he your best buddy?
He hates me.
Do you hate him?
No.
Did your mom set that up?
Yes.
Did you ever talk to your momabout how things are with Tommy?
- I don't tell her things.- Why not?
'Cause she doesn't look at me likeeverybody else, and I don't want her to.
- I don't want her to know.- Know what?
That I'm a freak.
Hey.
You are not a freak. Okay?
Don't you believe anybody that tries toconvince you of that. That's bullshit.
You don't have to go throughyour life believing that.
Okay?
Come on.
- You said the "S" word.- Yeah, I know.
Sorry.
So your dad lives in Pittsburgh with a lady...
that works in a tollbooth?
I wonder if she has to peewhen she's working.
Think she just holds it?
I don't know. I was justthinking about that myself.
You asked a lot of questionsabout Dad today.
How come?
Well, sometimes we do thingsto draw attention,
to express our feelingsabout certain issues--
divorce, whatever.
For example, a person might leave somethingon the desk for someone else to find.
Do you know what freeassociation writing is, Cole?
No.
Free association writingis when you take a pencil in your hand,
and you put the pencil to apieceof paper and you start writing.
And you don't look at what you're writing orthink about what you're writing.
You just keepYour hand moving.
And after a while, if you keepYour hand moving long enough,
words and thoughts start coming out thatyou didn't even know you had in you.
It could be somethingyou heard somewhere else,
or feelings you haddeep inside of you.
Have you ever done anyfree association writing, Cole?
Yes.
What did you write?
Upset words.
Did you ever write any upset wordsbefore your father left?
I don't remember.
Can you do something for me?
I want you to think about what youwanna get out of our time together--
what our goal should be.
Something I want?
If you could change somethingin your life, anything at all,
what would it be?
Instead of something I want,can it be something I don't want?
Okay.
I don't want to bescared anymore.
You gonna get that?
Are you gonna get that?
- Hi.- Hi.
- Don't you see enough of me at the store?- Yeah, I'm on my way out...
to the flea marketin the Amish country.
I thought maybe you'dwanna come along...
and show me how to buyat one of these things.
I don't know if I can dealwith the Amish today.
You can't curse or spitor anything around them.
I just figured maybe you'd just want toget out and get some air,
because you've seemedkind of down lately.
Um, I'm okay.
Do you think that maybe I should stop byon the way back, show you what I got?
Because thatwouldn't be a problem.
No, I- You know,I can see on Monday.
Sure, yeah, that's fine.I'm just--
Okay, so I guess I'm gonna get goingthen. I'll speak to you later.
- Don't step in the horse manure.- Thank you very much.
Keep moving, cheese dick.
Can anybody guess what city was capitalof the United States of America...
from 1790 to 1800?
I'll give you a hint:It's the city you live in.
- Philadelphia!- Right, right.
Philadelphia's one of the oldest citiesin this country.
A lot of generationshave lived here and died here.
Almost any place you go in this cityhas a history and a story behind it.
Even this schooland the grounds it sits on.
Can anyone guess what this buildingwas used for a hundred years ago...
before you went to school here,before I went to this school even?
Yes, Cole.
They used to hang people here.
No, uh, that--Mm- mm. That'snot correct. Where'd you hear that?
They pulled the people in, cryingand kissing their families bye.
People watching...spit at them.
Uh, Cole, this buildingwas a legal courthouse.
Laws were passed here--some ofthe very first laws of this country.
This whole buildingwas full of, uh, lawyers,
- lawmakers.- They were the ones that hanged everybody.
Uh--
I don't know which oneof these guys told you that,
but, uh, they wereJust trying to scare you.
I don't like peoplelooking at me like that.
Like what?
Stop it!
I, uh, I- I- I don't knowhow else to look.
You're Stuttering Stanley!
- Excuse me?- You talked funny when you went to school here.
You talked funnyall the way to high school.
- What?- You shouldn't look at people. It makes them feel bad.
- How did you--- Stop looking at me!
Who have you-- been speaking to?
Stuttering Stanley!Stuttering Stanley!
- Stop it. St- St- St--- Stuttering Stanley!
- Stop that!- Stuttering Stanley! Stuttering Stanley!
Stuttering Stanley!Stuttering Stanley!
Shut up, you f- f- freak!
Hey, big guy.
How's it goin'?
I don't wanna talk aboutanything right now.
Okay.
You like magic?
Hmm?
Observe:The magic penny.
Looks like an ordinary penny.
But I do my littlemagic shake, and...
now it's in my right hand.
But that's not the endof the magic trick.
I do anotherlittle shake, and...
right therein the vest pocket.
But that's not the endof the magic trick.
I do another little shake...
and...
right back in the left handwhere it started.
That isn't magic.
What are you talking about?Of course it's magic.
You just kept the pennyin that hand the whole time.
Think so?
I didn't know you were funny.
Malcolm, sit your cutebutt down and listen up.
No doubt about it.Anna is like my sister.
And you better make her happy.I'm not talkin' about no...
"Mmm, this taste likereal butter" kind of happy.
I'm talkin' about--What's up, girl?
"Julie Andrewstwirling around like...
a mental patient on a mountaintop"kind of happy.
That's the kind of happyI'm talkin' about.
Shh. Come here.
Don't tell her I told you,
but she saidshe knew she love you...
from the first timeshe met you on the street.
She'd do anything for you.
I love you guys.
My nose is running.Turn it--
And then you dothe magic shake.
The penny has movedfrom my pocket...
all the way backto the hand it started in.
That's stupid.
It's supposedto be funny.
It's stupid.I want my penny back.
He doesn't get invited places, so it's our pleasure.
Last time was a Chuck E. Cheeseparty a year ago.
He hid in one of those purple plastictunnels and didn't come out.
- Chucky who?- Cheese. It's a kids place.
- Excuse me.- Sorry.
Is someone out there?
Open this door, please.Come on.
I can't breathe.If you can hear me, open this door.
I swear on my life I didn'ttake the master's horse.
Open this door, or I'llbreak through it and grab you!
- The star of the commercial always gets his own trailer.- For what?
He needs a place to thinkabout his character, alone.
You only had one line.
Derrick, check it out.
Oh, yeah.
My dadmade me invite him.
Happy birthday, Derrick.
Is there somethin'you want to see in there?
No.
We're gonna put ona pretend play.

Don't!
Let me out! No! No!
No! No!
Cole?
Cole!
Is there a keyfor this door?
Cole? Honey?Honey, can you hear me?
Oh, my God! Cole!
Help me! Help!Help! Help!
The tests would indicatehe did not have a seizure.
He's doing fine.
After some rest,he can go home tonight.
There's some cuts andbruises on your son...
- that are concerning me.- Oh, man.
Yeah, those are from sports.
You think I hurt my child?
You think I'm a bad mother?
Mrs. Sloan over there,
she's a social workerwith the hospital.
She's gonna ask you a coupleprocedural questions.
What happenedto my child today?
Something was happening to him, physically happening.Something was very wrong!
Hey.
Did your father used totell you bedtime stories?
Once upon a timethere was this young prince,
and he decided thathe wanted to go for a drive.
He go this driver,and they started driving.
Driving, driving.
Driving a lot.
And, uh,
they drove so muchthat he fell asleep.
And--
Then he woke up, and he realizedthey were still driving.
- This was a very long trip.- Dr. Crowe?
You haven't toldbedtime stories before.
Uh, not too many, no.
You have to addsome twists and stuff.
Okay. Some twists.
Like what kind of twists?Give me an example.
- Maybe they run out of gas.- They run out of gas?
That's good, 'cause they're driving,right? Okay, so--
Tell me the storyabout why you're sad.
You think I'm sad?
What makes you think that?
Your eyes told me.
Not supposed to talkabout stuff like that.
Once upon a time, there wasthis person named Malcolm.
He worked with children.
He loved it.
He loved itmore than anything else.
And then one night,he found out that...
he made a mistakewith one of them.
He couldn't help that one.
And he can't stopthinking about it.
He can't forget.
Ever since then,things have been different.
He's not the same personthat he used to be.
And his wife...
doesn't like the personthat he's become.
They barely speak anymore.They're like strangers.
And then one day, Malcolm meetsthis wonderful little boy.
A really cool little boy.
Reminds him a lotof the other one.
And Malcolm decidesto try and help this new boy...
'cause he feels thatif he can help this new boy,
it will be like...helping that other one too.
How does the story end?
I don't know.
I wanna tell you my secret now.
Okay.
I see dead people.
I n your dreams?
While you're awake?
Dead people, like,in graves, in coffins?
Walking aroundlike regular people.
They don't see each other.
They only seewhat they wanna see.
They don't know they're dead.
How often do you see them?
All the time.
They're everywhere.
You won't tell anyonemy secret, right?
No. I promise.
Will you stay hereuntil I fall asleep?
Of course.
Cole has pathologies moresevere than initially assessed.
He's suffering fromvisual hallucinations,
paranoia,
some kind of...school- age schizophrenia.
Medication, hospitalizationmay be required.
And I'm not helping him.
Hi, this is Lynn Sear,Cole's mom.
Yeah, uh, I--I'd like to talk to you...
about your boy and his friends keepingtheir goddamn hands off my son.
Mama?
No, dinneris not ready!
What are yougonna do?
You can't hurt meanymore!
Neddy! You're a terriblehusband, Neddy!
Look what you made me do!Neddy!
Once there was a boy,
very differentfrom all the other boys.
He lived in the jungle,
and he could speakto the animals.
Did you think the playsucked big time?
What?
Tommy Tammisimo actedin a cough syrup commercial.
He said everyone was self- consciousand unrealistic.
He said the playsucked big time.
This Tommy kid soundslike a real punk.
I thought the play was excellent.Better than "Cats. "
- "Cats"?- Never mind.
Cole, I was really interestedin what you told me at the hospital.
I'd like to hearmore about it.
Cole?
What?
Is somethingup there?
Cole,
I don'tsee anything.
Be real still.
Sometimes youfeel it inside,
like you're falling downreal fast,
but you're reallyJust standing still.
You ever feel the prickly thingson the back of your neck?
Yes.
And the tiny hairs on your arm,you know, when they stand up?
Yes.
That's them.
When they get mad,
it gets cold.
I don't see anything.Are you sure they're there?
Cole?
Please make them leave.
I'm workin' on it.
Come on.
Aah!
Mommy, Daddy?
My throat hurts.
Run! Run!
Pedia Ease cough suppressant.
- Gentle, fast, effect--- Cole.
I don't care what they say,this thing is broken.
Take 'em off.
I don't want themon my table.
I saw what was in your bureau drawerwhen I was cleaning.
Got somethingyou want to confess?
Hmm?The bumblebee pendant?
Why do youkeep taking it?
It was Grandma's.
You know, what if it broke?You know how sad I'd be.
You'd cry 'cause youmiss Grandma so much.
That's right.
Sometimes people thinkthey lose things,
and they really didn't lose them--it just gets moved.
So, did you movethe bumblebee pendant?
Don't get mad.
So, who moved itthis time?
Maybe someone came in our house, tookthe bumblebee pendant out of my closet...
and placed it nicelyin your drawer.
- Maybe.- God, I am so tired, Cole.
I'm tired in my body,I'm tired in my mind,
I'm... tiredin my heart.
I need some help.
You know, I don't know if you noticed,but our little family isn't doing so good.
I mean,I've been praying,
but I must notbe praying right.
Looks like we're just gonna have toanswer each other's prayers.
If we can't talk to each other,we're not gonna make it.
Now, tell me, baby.I- I- I won't get mad, honey.
Did you takethe bumblebee pendant?
No.
You've had enough roast beef.You need to leave the table.
Go!
Hey, come on. I'll show you wheremy dad keeps his gun. Come on.
Sebastian, come on!
Mama?
If you're not very mad,
can I sleepin your bed tonight?
Look at my face.
I'm not very mad.
Baby, why are you shaking?
Cole, what's wrong?
Oh, God,please tell me!
Oh, please.
Oh.
It's Edwardian,beautifully worked...
with mine- cut diamondsand an actual color Burmese sapphire.
It's timeless.
Oh.
You, uh...
got anythinga little plainer?
Plainer? You want a plain ring to go with your plain fiance?Is that how it is?
No! Baby,don't get in a tissy.
Uh--You're so beautiful.
You're like a Burmese sapphireall by yourself.
- You don't need all that.- Uh- huh.
Why don't youtry it on...
and see how you both feel about it.
There. How doesthat feel?
I think this piece,um, communicates a longing.
I imagine that the womanwho owned it...
loved a man that shecouldn't be with.
Did he have wavy hairand chestnut eyes?
- Huh?- Um, I don't know, but...
a lot of the piecesin this store communicate,
and I think you should choosea piece that speaks to you.
I think maybe when people own thingsand then they pass away,
a part of themselves getsprinted on those things,
like...like fingerprints.
I'll justwrap it up.
You don't need a guywith a Master's.
You need a wrestler with a necklarger than his head.
No, I need a wrestler with a Master's.
- What's this?- Happy birthday.
- For me?- Mm- hmm.
It's a...first edition.
Wow.
- You know, this is too much.- No.
Took it out ofyour Christmas bonus.
It's perfect, Anna.
Thanks.
What do you want more than anything?
I don't know.
I've told you what I want.
I know what I want.
I want to be able totalk to my wife again.
The way we used totalk to each other.
Like there was no one elsein the world except us.
How are you gonna do that?
Can't be your doctoranymore.
I haven't paid enoughattention to my family.
Bad things happenwhen you do that.
Do you understand?
- I'm going to transfer you. I know two psychologists.- Don't fail me.
Don't give up. You're the only onewho can help me, I know it.
I can't help you.
You--
Someone elsecan help you.
You believe me, right?
Dr. Crowe, you believemy secret, right?
I don't know howto answer that, Cole.
How can you help me...
if you don't believe me?
Some magic's real.
Do you know why you'reafraid when you're alone?
I do.I do.
I'm sorry, Vincent. I hope Ididn't leave you alone too long.
Whew.It's cold in here.
Vincent,why are you crying?
You won't believe.
Sorry, Vincent. I hope I didn'tleave you alone too long.
Whew.It's coldin here.
Vincent--
Whew.It's cold in here.
Nah, you know what? I never liked him either.
When I was a kid,I had this blood test done,
and I threw up chili cheese fries allover this male nurse.
Excuse me. Dr. Reed is on line two.
Vincent, will you excuse me? I have to take this.
- Just give me a minute, okay?- Okay.
No entiendes.
Yo no quiero morir.
- Oh, my God.- Yo no quiero morir!
You beenrunning around?
Make youfeel better?
I like to run around.It's good exercise.
Do you want to ask mequestions now?
Want to be a lance corporal in Company"M" Third Battalion, Seventh Marines?
We're being dispatchedinto the Quang Nam province.
Maybe later.
Something happened, didn't it?
You wiggling out?
Yes.I think I am.
Do you know what"Yo no quiero morir" means?
It's Spanish.It means "I don't want to die. "
What do you think these ghosts wantwhen they talk to you?
I want you tothink about it, Cole.
I want you to think about itreally carefully.
What do you thinkthey want?
- Just help.- That's right. That's what I think too.
They just want help,even the scary ones.
I think I might know a wayto make them go away.
How?
Listen to them.
What if theydon't want help?
What if they're just angry and theyJust want to hurt somebody?
I don't thinkthat's the way it works.
How do you knowfor sure?
I don't.
Hey!
Hey! Hey!
What's happening?
Go!
What's happening to you?
Is someone hurting you?I'll kick their ass.
Cole, if they're hurting you--
Mama, you sleep now.
I'm feeling much better now.
Do you want to tell me something?
She came a long wayto visit me, didn't she?
I guess she did.
Can you get some water?
That's her sister.
You know, when I went through thiswith my father's cancer--
I just can't imagine a childbeing in bed for two years.
How many--How many doctors?
- I think it was six.- Six different doctors?
I think so, yes.
I just heard the, uh,little one is falling ill now.
God help them.
Don't go home,okay?
I definitely won't.
Aah!
Mister?
Excuse me, mister.
Are you Kyra's daddy?
It's for you.
Sh- She wantedto tell you something.
Oh, no, here he comes.He's coming my way. Psst!
Would you like to dance?
Well, actually,I just came with my friends.
Oh, well, how about this?
We can dance for a little bit,and if you don't like the way I dance,
you can kick me.
Oh, okay then.
It's time for lunch, Kyra.
- I'm feeling much better now.- That's so great, honey.
It's time for your food.
Can I go outsideif I eat this?
I don't know. You know howyou get sick in the afternoons.
We'll see.
Don't say that it tastes funny.You know I don't like to hear that.
Tami's mom called.
You werekeeping her sick.
You liked it, she said.
She looked outfor you.
Is Kyra coming back?
Not anymore.
I think that's enough.That's enough makeup.
Okay.
- They're calling for the stable boy.- We have to hurry!
Who, uh-- Who were you talking to?
Just practicingmy lines.
Thanks for giving me this part,Mr. Cunningham.
You know, when I went to school here, there wasa terrible fire in this section of the theater.
They rebuiltthe whole thing.
Yeah, I know.
Only he who is pure of heartcan take the sword from the stone.
Let the boy try.
He is a stable boy.He cleans up after the horses.
Silence, village idiot.
Let the boy step forward.
Hail, King Arthur!
Yea!
I thought you were really great in the play, Cole.
- Really?- Yeah.
- You know what else?- What?
I thought Tommy Tammisimo sucked big time.
I got an idea how you can talkto your wife.
Wait till she's asleep.
Then she'll listen to youand she won't even know it.
I'm not gonna see youanymore, am I?
I think we said everythingwe needed to say.
Maybe it's time to say thingsto someone closer to you.
Maybe we can pretend like we'regonna see each other tomorrow.
Just for pretend.
Okay.
I'm gonna go now.
I'll see you tomorrow, Cole.
I'm okay, Officer.I- I'm okay.
I don't knowwhat happened.
Hmm.
Geez, I hopenobody got hurt.
You're very quiet.
You're mad I missedthe play, aren't you?
I have two jobs, baby.
You know how importantthey are for us.
I'd give anythingto have been there.
I'm ready to communicatewith you now.
Communicate?
Tell you my secrets.
What is it?
You know the accidentup there?
Yeah.
Someone got hurt.
They did?
A lady.
She died.
Oh, my God.What, you can see her?
- Yes.- Where is she?
Standing next tomy window.
Cole, you'rescaring me.
They scare me toosometimes.
They?
Ghosts.
You see ghosts, Cole?
They want me todo things for them.
They--They talk to you?
They tell youto do things?
They're the onesthat used to hurt me.
What are youthinking, Mama?
- You think I'm a freak?- Look at my face.
I would never think thatabout you. Ever.
- Got it?- Got it.
Just let me think for a minute.
Grandma says hi.
She says she's sorry fortaking the bumblebee pendant.
She just likes it a lot.
- What?- Grandma comes to visit me sometimes.
Cole, that's very wrong.
- Grandma's gone, you know that.- I know.
- She wanted me to tell you--- Cole, please stop.
She wanted me to tell youshe saw you dance.
She saidwhen you were little,
you and her had a fight...
right beforeyour dance recital.
You thought she didn't come to see you dance.
She did.
She hid in the backso you wouldn't see.
Sh- She said you werelike an angel.
She said...
you came to the placewhere they buried her,
asked her a question.
She saidthe answer is...
every day.
What did you ask?
Do--
Do I make her proud?
Mama.
Hi, everybody.As most of you know,
I'm not used to doing this,
and I promised Annathat I'd try not to embarrass her.
I'll leave that to her mother.
But we do want to thankall of you for coming...
and for sharing this wonderful day with us.
It's bitter sweet almost, for me,
'cause I hate giving her up.
Anna?
I miss you.
I miss you too.
Why, Malcolm?
What?
- What is it?- Why did you leave me?
I didn't leave you.
I see people.
They don't know they're dead.
- How often do you see them?- All the time.
They're everywhere.
They only seewhat they want to see.
Okay, Mikey.
Come on.Give me a minute.
Oh, God.
- It doesn't even hurt.- Let me see.
Let me see. Put your hand--
Oh, God.
Okay.
I think I'm okay.Really, I think it just went--
went in and out.
It doesn't evenhurt anymore.
I think I can go now.
I just neededto do a couple things.
I neededto help someone.
I think I did.
And I neededto tell you something.
You were never second.
Ever.
I love you.
You sleep now.
Everything will bedifferent in the morning.
