You know, when I went through this with my father's cancer...
I just can't imagine a child being in bed for two years.
[Woman] 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! [Panting]
Mister?
Excuse me, mister.
Are you Kyra's daddy?
It's for you.
Sh-She wanted to tell you something.
[Static]
[Kyra's Voice] 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.
[Liquid Pouring]
[Woman] It's time for lunch, Kyra.
- [Kyra] I'm feeling much better now. - That's so great, honey.
[Kisses] It's time for your food.
Can I go outside if I eat this?
I don't know. You know how you 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 were keeping her sick.
You liked it, she said.
She looked out for you.
Is Kyra coming back?
[Cole] Not anymore.
[Woman] I think that's enough. That's enough makeup.
[Cole] Okay.
- They're calling for the stable boy. - We have to hurry!
Who, uh... Who were you talking to?
Just practicing my lines.
Thanks for giving me this part, Mr. Cunningham.
You know, when I went to school here, there was a terrible fire in this section of the theater.
They rebuilt the whole thing.
Yeah, I know.
[Audience Sighing]
Only he who is pure of heart can take the sword from the stone.
Let the boy try.
[Scattered Applause]
He is a stable boy. He cleans up after the horses.
- Silence, village idiot. - [Scattered Giggling]
Let the boy step forward.
[Children Gasping]
[Children Together] Hail, King Arthur!
[Applause]
[Children] Yea!
- [Cheering] - [Applause Continues]
[Audience Laughing]
[All Laughing]
[Chattering]
[Malcolm] I thought you were really great in the play, Cole.
- Really? - Yeah.
- You know what else? - What?
I thought Tommy Tammisimo sucked big time. [Chuckles]
[Chuckles]
I got an idea how you can talk to your wife.
Wait till she's asleep.
Then she'll listen to you and she won't even know it.
I'm not gonna see you anymore, am I?
I think we said everything we needed to say.
Maybe it's time to say things to someone closer to you.
Maybe we can pretend like we're gonna see each other tomorrow.
Just for pretend.
Okay.
I'm gonna go now.
I'll see you tomorrow, Cole.
- [Siren Blaring] - [Chattering, Indistinct]
I'm okay, Officer. L-I'm okay.
I don't know what happened.
[Lynn] Hmm.
Geez, I hope nobody got hurt.
You're very quiet.
You're mad I missed the play, aren't you?
I have two jobs, baby.
You know how important they are for us.
[Sighs]
I'd give anything to have been there.
I'm ready to communicate with you now.
Communicate?
Tell you my secrets.
What is it?
You know the accident up 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 to my window.
Cole, you're scaring me.
They scare me too sometimes.
They?
Ghosts.
You see ghosts, Cole?
They want me to do things for them.
They... They talk to you?
They tell you to do things?
They're the ones that used to hurt me.
What are you thinking, Mama?
- You think I'm a freak? - Look at my face.
I would never think that about you. Ever.
- Got it? - Got it.
Just let me think for a minute.
Grandma says hi.
She says she's sorry for taking 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 you she saw you dance.
She said when you were little,
you and her had a fight...
right before your dance recital.
- [Sniffles] - You thought she didn't come to see you dance.
She did.
She hid in the back so you wouldn't see.
Sh-She said you were like an angel.
- [Sobbing] - She said...
you came to the place where they buried her,
asked her a question.
She said the answer is...
every day.
What did you ask?
[Sniffles]
[Voice Breaking]
Do...
Do I make her proud?
[Sobbing] Mama.
[Sobbing]
[Laughing, Chattering]
[Man] Hi, everybody. As most of you know,
I'm not used to doing this,
and I promised Anna that I'd try not to embarrass her.
I'll leave that to her mother. [Chuckles]
But we do want to thank all of you for coming...
and for sharing this wonderful day with us.
It's bittersweet almost, for me,
'cause I hate giving her up.
[Malcolm] Anna?
[Applause On Television]
I miss you.
I miss you too.
Why, Malcolm?
What?
- What is it? - Why did you leave me?
I didn't leave you.
[Object Clatters]
[Cole] I see people.
They don't know they're dead.
- [Malcolm] How often do you see them? - [Cole] All the time.
[Cole] They're everywhere.
They only see what they want to see.
[Malcolm On TV] Okay, Mikey.
Come on. Give me a minute.
