Lynn Sear
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. You thought she didn't come see you dance. She did. She hid in the back so you wouldn't see. She said you were like an angel. 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?
Lynn Sear
[Crying]
"Do I make her proud?".
Are you a good doctor?
Well... I used to be. I won an award once. From the Mayor. It had an expensive frame.
I'm gonna see you again, right?
If that's okay with you.
I walk this way to school with Tommy Tammisimo.
He your best buddy?
He hates me.
Do you hate him?
No.
Did your mom set that up?
Yes.
Do you ever talk to your mom about how things are with Tommy?
I don't tell her things.
Why not?
Because she doesn't look at me like everybody 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 to convince you of that. That's bullshit! You don't have to go through your life believing that. Okay?
You said the "s" word.
Yeah... I know. Sorry.
I'm ready to tell you my secret now.
Okay.
I see dead people.
In your dreams? [Cole shakes his head no] While you're awake? [Cole nods] Dead people like, in graves? In coffins?
Walking around like regular people. They don't see each other. They only see what they want to see. They don't know they're dead.
How often do you see them?
All the time.
Note: the bolded line is ranked #44 in the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 movie quotations in American cinema.
Instead of something I want, can it be something I don't want?
Okay...
I don't wanna be scared anymore.
Tell me the story about why you're sad.
You think I'm sad?
Your eyes told me.
You ever feel the prickly things on the back of your neck?
Yes.
And the tiny hairs on your arm, you know when they stand up? That's them. When they get mad... it gets cold.
You know the accident up there?
Lynn Sear
Yeah.
Someone got hurt.
Lynn Sear
They did?
A lady. She died.
Lynn Sear
Oh, my God. What, you can see her?
Yes.
Lynn Sear
Where is she?
Standing next to my window.
Lynn Sear
Cole, you're scaring me.
They scare me too sometimes.
Lynn Sear
They?
Ghosts.
You're Stuttering Stanley!
Stanley Cunningham Excuse me?!
You talked funny all the way to school here. You talked funny all the way to high school.
Stanley Cunningham How did you...
Stop looking at me!
Stanley Cunningham Who have you been speaking to?
Stuttering Stanley! Stuttering Stanley!
Stanley Cunningham Stop. St-- St-- St-- Stop that.
Stanley Cunningham [Cole continues and other kids are watching him]
St... St... Stop.
Stanley Cunningham [As Cole continues, the teacher is not happy.]
SHUT UP, YA FREAK!
[after realizing the time has come for him to move on]
I think I can go now. Just needed to do a couple of things. I needed to help someone; I think I did. And I needed to tell you something: You were never second. Ever. I love you. You sleep now. Everything will be different in the morning.
Anna Crowe
[in her sleep]
Good night, Malcolm...
Good night, sweetheart.
Anna Crowe
[in her sleep]
I miss you.
I miss you too.
Anna Crowe
Why, Malcolm?
What, what is it?
Anna Crowe
Why did you leave me?
I didn't leave you.
[the ring Anna is holding falls out of her hand to the floor, and Malcolm suddenly remembers everything]
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 want when they talk to you? I want you to think about it, Cole. I want you to think about it really carefully.
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 way to make them go away.
How?
Listen to them.
What if they don't want help? What if they're just angry and they just want to hurt somebody?
I don't think that's the way it works.
How do you know for sure?
I don't.
Do you know what free association writing is, Cole?
No.
Free association writing is when you take a pencil in your hand and you put the pencil to a piece of paper and you start writing. You don't look at or think about what you're writing. And after a while, you keep writing long enough, words and thoughts come out that you didn't even know you had in you. It could be something you heard, something you saw, or feelings you had deep inside of you. Have you done any free association writing, Cole?
Yes.
What did you write?
Upset words.
Did you write any upset words before your father left?
I don't remember.
Once upon a time there was this person named Malcolm. He worked with children. He loved it. He loved it more than anything else. And then one night, he found out that he made a mistake with one of them. He couldn't help that one. And he can't stop thinking about it, he can't forget. Ever since then, things have been different. He's not the same person that he used to be. And his wife doesn't like the person that he's become. They barely speak anymore, they're like strangers. And then one day Malcolm meets this wonderful little boy, a really cool little boy. Reminds him a lot of the other one. And Malcolm decides to try and help this new boy. 'Cause he feels that if he can help this new boy, it would be like helping that other one too.
How does the story end?
I don't know.
