(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.

(gasps)

( spooky theme playing)

(muttering)

That's it. That's it.

Now, come on. Come on.

We can win this.

ANNOUNCER: Oh, he missed it.

Now. Downcourt.
Bring it. Come on.

Come on. Shoot!



Shoot, you idiot!

He puts it up.

Oh, get it, get it, get it!

Get it, get it! Aah!

What?

Son of a...

Un-friggin'-believable.

(clattering)

Someone down here?

(banging)

(scratches)

(scratches)

(scratches)

(gasps)

(popping)

What the hell?

(laughing)

BOY: Oh, man.

(laughing)

Did you get a look at his face?

Dude, I almost
peed myself. (laughs)

What a geek.

He actually thought
it was a ghost.

Ooh, I'm bad.

Teach him to chew us out

for a little game of handball.

Better grab that firecracker.

Cool.

All right, let's go.

Whoa! Whoa, what'd you do?

Nothing. I didn't do anything.

(rattling)

What's happening?

NED: Whoa! Jeez!

Oh, my God.

Whoa! Who... Who's doing that?

I don't know. Let's
get out of here!

Whoa!

So, what about
Tim? Is he history?

No.

In fact, we finally went
on our first real date.

It was really nice.

But I gotta tell you,
he burned me once,

so a girl's gotta
cover her bases.

(giggles)

That's so weird. I just...

had the other shoe in my hand.

Oh! Here it is.

So who's the guy tonight?

Uh, Dale. He's a loan broker.

Boring, I know.
But he's so nice.

He used to ask me out

when I worked at
the real estate office,

and you know,
when I finally decided

that I was ready to date,

I called him, and you know...

Aah!

Ow!

Oh, great.

These are brand-new.
I can't believe it.

Well, just for the record,

I agree that Tim
deserves a little payback.

Oh, wow, fright night. I forgot.

Correction. Retro fright night.

Psycho, Hell House,

I Know What You Did Last Summer.

DELIA: Wait, how is that retro?

Which one?

Okay. Cool.

So I'm gonna go chill a minute.

Okay, have a good time.

Hey, I don't want you
staying up too late.

And, Ned, be sure to listen
to what Melinda says tonight.

Ned, we gotta get started.

Ned?

(rattling)

( suspenseful theme playing)

(rattling)

Who are you?

What do you want?

(squeals)

Stop it!

Ned.

It's come back for me.

WOMAN: Can you see us?

( eerie theme playing)

What do you mean,
it's come back for you?

Who?

I don't know, I...

Me and my buddy Grant,
just for kicks, you know,

we rig things to
explode and stuff

to scare people, mostly
our old grumpy super.

Okay, so he's after you?

No.

Today there was something
with us down there,

something weird.

Scared the crap
out of me and Grant.

It was a ghost, right?

Did you get a look at it?

I don't think it wanted me to,

but it did want
me to find these.

Wait. So this
ghost is mad, right?

Does anybody ever go, like...

Because in Claw 2,
when that guy got that...

Ned, I'm not gonna let
anything bad happen to you.

But that thing's dogging me.

Yeah, and you're
gonna have to help me

figure out why, okay?

So we can get it to leave.

Yeah, okay.

You gonna tell my
mom about those?

No...

But it's gonna
be a very different

fright night than
we had planned.

So after we agreed on a rate,

I said, "If you can't
bring me comps,

you're not getti"
your cap back."

(laughs) You said that?

Really. Seriously, I said that.

I mean, I was willing to
blow a million-dollar deal

for a Phillies cap.

Oh.

Very bold move. (sighs)

Yeah.

You have a little
something right here.

Oh. I... I do?

Oh, that is...

not embarrassing at all.

Hey, happens to me all the time.

Mm-hm.

I doubt that, but thank you.

(clears throat)

How am I?

You're good. You're
very, very good.

Thank you.

Now, I would like
to propose a toast...

to you,

to thank you for
finally saying yes.

Aah! Aah! Oh! God!

Whoa! Oh! Come on.

Oh, my...

Oh, my God. Aah!

Are you all right?
Yeah, yeah. I just...

I just got a little singed.
That was so strange.

Um... Oh, are... Are
you... Are you okay?

I'm sorry I spilled.
No, I'm fine.

Okay. Don't worry about it.

(chuckles)

Come on, Clancy, man.

Don't be a buzzkill.

When was the last time
we went out after work?

Last Thursday.

Hey, is that...

That's Delia. Wh...

TIM: Is she on a date?

Aw, please don't tell
me that's a date. Wha...

It is. Man, I thought
we were good.

I apologized.

I went to great lengths.

That coffee stunt
was sweet, Flaher.

Right. She loved it.

I took her out to dinner,
we had a great time.

So why is she...

You knew.

And you didn't tell me?

Is it my job to tell you?

She can go out on a date.

You hurt her feelings, Flaherty.

Oh, what, are you part girl now?

Is that it? Okay.

Okay, fine. All right. Game on.

Here's the deal. I
need an edge, all right?

You gotta ask Melinda
what kind of stuff Delia likes.

You don't need to jump
through hoops for Delia.

She likes you.

Oh? Oh, yeah?

Well, why is she
out with pretty boy?

DALE: I nearly had a
stroke when you called,

but I get that you needed time.

Yeah. Lots of it, I guess.

Waiting till you're
ready is a good thing.

(chuckles)

(Tire pops) Oh!

Whoa.

(rattling)

Uh, how long we
gotta be down here?

Hey, that powder, do
you know what that is?

NED: Yeah, it's laundry soap.

We set firecrackers
to explode the boxes...

And that's when the room
started shaking, right?

So he's after your fireworks.

All right, here's the deal.

You have to apologize,

and once maybe
you make things right,

hopefully I can get
the spirit to move on.

Okay. So...

I'm sorry. I...

(bangs) (gasps)

(shrieks)

(bangs) (screams)

Okay, that didn't happen before.

Hey! Aah! Aah!

MAN: Waste!

All right. Okay, stop it.

He said he was sorry.

What's going on?

I... I don't know.

Did I say something wrong?

All right, let's...
Let's get out of here.

Go. Go.

Ned.

Okay, don't go into the basement

until I can figure this out.

Now, he said, "Stay away,"

so hopefully if you're
not bugging him,

he'll back off.

What's up with "hopefully"?

Not to doubt you or anything,

but that ghost seemed
pretty hard-core.

Whenever they
seem angry or evil,

it just mostly means
that they're confused.

So it's clueless?

That makes me feel a
whole lot better. Listen.

This is not my first
barbecue, okay?

I will take care of it.

Take a deep breath.

(sighs)

Let's go get something to eat.

(gasps)

Aah!

NED: Are you okay?

My toe. I stubbed my toe.

Was that the ghost?

This one's just as scary.

NED: You know, as
far as fright nights go,

this one rocks.

Yeah, let's hope your
mom's having as much fun.

Any luck down there?

This is... unbelievable.

(grunts)

You know, this is a
brand-new car, okay?

These tires never blow out.

(sighs)

I am so sorry.

You know, normally, actually,
I can change a tire. Really.

(laughs)

I guess I just

call a tow truck, right?

(shouts)

(gasps)

(sighs)

(grunts)

Oh...

Not looking good for
that second date, huh?

(sighs)

(sighs) Ooh.

Dare I even ask?

Oh, you know, I just
don't remember dating

being this challenging
when I was younger.

Ooh.

Yeah, I wouldn't even
know where to start.

Frankly, I haven't
had a date go well yet.

That's all right.

You know why? 'Cause I'm...

'Cause I'm getting out there.

You know, Charlie and
I, we never even dated.

How did you manage that?

I was friends with
his business partner,

so we just started hanging out.

Oh, anyway, how was your night?

Did you get the crap
scared out of you?

Ooh. Sure did. Scary, scary.

(laughs)

Anyway, Jim is, uh,
on his way home,

so I'm gonna...

Tim did see you guys
at Lento's, by the way.

Was he upset about it?

Jim called, said that he had to

let him win at pool all night
just to sort of ease the pain.

Is it awful of me that
that makes my night?

No. I'd be worried
about you if it didn't.

(laughs)

But I think you
care more about Tim

than you'd like to admit,

because I found these...

in one of your magazines.

Mm-hm.

Yes, I like him.

We have a good time together.

I'm just not ready to narrow
the playing field quite yet.

(sighs)

Can't believe it.

MELINDA: You know, poor Delia.

It's hard enough to
date as a single mom,

and then your son
brings home a ghost.

I just hope he doesn't
do any more damage.

Well, if it's any consolation,

Tim is more
determined than ever,

and me wants me to
scope out what Delia likes

so that he can impress her.

Well, that's
cute, but isn't part

of the fun of dating
figuring it out?

All right, was it fun
when I asked you

to close your eyes
for a bite of Ho Ho

and you broke out in hives?

Look, if you had
known I was allergic,

you wouldn't have
gotten to play doctor.

Good point.

(giggles)

I'll tell him no.

You're not really worried
about this ghost, are you?

Oh, it's just... I don't know.

He's kinda creepy
and in their apartment.

Are you gonna be
able to talk to him?

Doesn't seem like
he's in a talking mood.

So now I just have to
go and talk to the super.

(gasps)

Please don't do that.

My pants. I need my pants.

Yeah, and I would
really love to help you,

but now is not a good time.

Do we have a visitor?

It's gone.

Thank God.

Wow, you should've
seen the look on your face.

That must've been
one freaky ghost.

You have no idea.

Oh. Oh, mm-mm.

JIM: You know, Flaher,

I never knew you
were into bikes.

Yeah, it's a funny
thing. I didn't, either.

But I just woke up

with a picture of
this bike in my head,

like I'd been dreaming about it.

(sighs)

This isn't just a bike,

this is a full-blown...

midlife crisis.

(laughs)

(The Police's "Every Breath
You Take" playing on car radio)

You hear that? Yeah.

Sounds like one dead
battery coming up.

That guy's gonna be bummed.

All right, you keep working

and I will too.

Any time. (giggles)

I can't believe he
even talked to you.

Must be because you're a babe.

Oh, that... And I
slipped him a 20.

But you know what? It worked.

Look, we got to scratch
three names off the list.

(laughs)

But this guy, Roy Smead,
he died four years ago,

and he was known to
have been a bit of a recluse.

Yeah, I remember
something about him.

You knew him?

No. That was before we moved in.

But Grant said he had
all these newspapers

piled up in his apartment.

They could hardly find
the body in the mess.

Ooh. Well, okay.
So if he was a loner,

he'd be mad at you
for disturbing him.

But I'm not anymore.

No, but it gives me time

to get information on
the family and find out

if this ghost is attached to
something in the basement.

( tense theme playing)

Hey, what's up?

What's up?

W... What's up is I was
trying to surprise Delia

with some flowers,
but having no idea

what kind she liked, I didn't.

If you'd asked Melinda
like I wanted you to...

I asked her.

You did? What'd she say?

"Where's the sport in that?"

Or something to that effect.

Oh, yeah. I forgot.
She hates me.

She doesn't hate you.

No, she has to.

I burned her girlfriend.

(groans) What?

(music stops)

Just needed a more manly touch.

I wish you could
put some clothes on.

What?

DELIA: Well, it's a
really beautiful frame.

You have great taste.

Yeah, when
you're picking it out.

Oh, well...

(gasps)

(choking)

Oh, my God.

What's wrong?

Are you okay?

(coughing)

Can I get you some
water or something?

Is it your heart?

Are you in pain?
Are you all right?

Charlie.

Stay away.

JIM: You think Delia's
husband's been here all this time?

I think I would've seen
him around Delia by now,

but sometimes when
people die of violent deaths,

the longer they stay away,
the more confused they get.

Maybe that explains why he's
been acting so out of character.

It's like he's protective
of Ned and Delia,

but in his state that
can be dangerous.

Now, at the risk
of certain death,

can I suggest that
maybe this is something

you should tell Delia about?

I can handle it.

I have to at least try.

Okay, fair enough. (sighs)

Besides, I need Charlie

to be a little more stable

before I bring Ned in, you know?

Delia told me that Charlie
had a business partner.

Maybe that's who
I need to talk to.

I just can't go
through Delia to do it.

Oh, thank you.

Charlie was a
real force of nature.

Fun, warm, always
helping people out.

But I imagine if
you work with Delia,

you already know that.

Did he tell you he and I

built this business
up from nothing?

No, she didn't. That's
very impressive.

Worked night and day.

But all that changed
after the fire.

What fire?

Our office building
burned down 6 years ago.

Charlie was never
the same after that.

How so?

Not so driven.

I mean, we rebuilt the business,

but he just didn't care
so much anymore.

Did it change the way
that he felt about his family?

Oh, no. Charlie
loved his family.

He and Ned used to fly
those remote planes together.

You know, in
fact, I think I still

have the plans in
here somewhere.

(chuckles)

He was building it

to surprise Ned
for his birthday.

(chuckles)

Designed it himself.

Whatever happened to the plane?

Lost in the fire.

Never quite knew
what to do with these.

Afraid they might bring up
painful memories for Delia,

but might mean something
to his son, though.

That sounds great.

Can you drop it by the store,

or do you need me to pick it up?

WOMAN: I'll drop
it by the store.

Okay. Terrific.

Um, thanks. Thanks a lot.

So, what do you think?

It's pretty sweet, huh?

Is this yours?

Yeah.

Just had this impulse.

Bought it just like that.

Crazy, huh?

Why are you looking
at me like that?

Charlie had the exact same bike.

No, he...

Yeah, 1957 BMW
R69, just like this one.

You must have
seen a picture of it

when you picked
me up the other night.

I would never buy the
exact same bike Charlie had.

That'd be...

weird.

Yeah.

Sure would.

(gasps)

Oh.

(clears throat)

Why are you still here?

I told you, I need my pants.

I promise you won't need
your pants in the light,

and if you do, that
they'll be there.

So why don't you just
do us both a favor and go?

Oh, don't get testy
with me, girlfriend.

I'm doing all I can to
hold it together here.

You see, that dream
where you're naked

and you can't wake up?

Welcome to my life.

Afterlife. Whatever.

I don't know. I don't know.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe I do have your pants,

and that's why
you're stalking me.

Hey, I'm not stalking you.

(sighs)

Okay, look, we got a
shipment of vintage in last week.

I haven't looked at it yet.

(groans)

Let's get this over with.

I have dinner waiting.

Wait, my pants are in there?

Let's pray.

All right, do you see anything

that looks familiar?

Well, maybe if you slowed down.

Wait, that's them.

Those right there. Oh.

Are you Private
Jackson Reynolds?

Yes.

Yes, I am. That's me.

Hallelujah, we have pants.

Okay, do you see a light?

(sighs)

BOY: Oh, dude, that's
sick. BOY 2: Yeah, man

you should just check it out.

It's really cool.

See you guys. Later.

I have something for you.

It's plans for a model
that your dad drew.

He was building
it for your birthday.

This is amazing.

My dad drew this?

It's...

Wait. Why do you have 'em?

Because I saw his partner.

Look, Ned, I know that this
is gonna sound really crazy...

But the ghost that's
been haunting you...

it's your dad.

What?

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

And I think that he's stuck in
one of those confused states.

It sometimes happens.

He won't talk to me,
but he might talk to you

if you'd be willing.

Oh, my God.

When?

Ned, you know that you're

gonna have to tell
him to move on.

To cross over.

What?

Why would I do that?

Because...

He's meant to be in the light.

You know? Not here.

And it's not good for spirits
to stick around too long.

And it's hurting your
dad. It's hurting you guys.

That's not true. Okay, look.

I know that you really...

want your dad to be here.

I wanted my dad too.

But the longer that he's here,

it makes it worse on everyone.

Don't touch me!

Dad wants to be with us.

I'll never make him go.

( slow, spooky theme playing)

(sighs)

So...

I'm not really sure what
I'm supposed to do here.

I was kinda young
when we did these.

I'd always mess 'em up,

and you'd fix 'em later
when I wasn't looking.

But I'll be better now.

The thing is, Dad,

I miss you.

You were just so
great, you know.

There was nobody like you.

(sighs)

Can you hear me, Dad?

Are you there?

DELIA: Ned.

(sighs)

Look, Mom.

I can explain everything.

Honey, you don't have to.

I understand.

You miss him.

I do too.

You know, sometimes
you feel okay,

and then bam!

Something reminds you of him,

and you're right back
to where you were.

It gets better.

I promise.

(whispers) I promise.

So maybe we could move.

Somewhere that no one
would ever come and visit,

like the Antarctic or Queens.

You're still gonna
have to tell Delia.

Yeah, I know.

But when I do, who's to say

that she's gonna be able
to get Charlie to move on?

I mean, he was pretty
clear about the fact

that he's not going anywhere.

Then I'd be out a
friend, a coworker,

and I'd gain a crazy ghost.

You really think he's crazy?

I don't know. It just
gives me the creeps,

the way that he's just trying to

fit right back in
with the family.

Yeah. One minute he's with them,

and then the next he
gets shot at an ATM.

I could see how that
could make you crazy.

Oh.

Look, I probably should've
mentioned this before,

but I think Tim's got a
ghost attached to him.

What?

Um, I'm not really sure,

but he's got that
look in his eyes.

He keeps talking
about purple flowers

and some song he keeps hearing.

Oh, God. It's Charlie, right?

Yeah. Trying to protect Delia.

Now I really have to tell her.

I think when you
tell Delia your secret,

you will feel relieved.

You do? Yes.

I think this has
been harder on you

than you think,
keeping it inside.

I think when you let it
out, everything'll be better.

I don't know who gave you
the best husband handbook,

but you're really good at it.

(grunts)

This fell out of your pants.

I think it's what's
keeping you here.

Maria Suarez.

She was the most beautiful,

passionate, sexy
woman I'd ever met.

I was gonna ask her
to marry me that night,

but then we had
this stupid argument.

So why didn't you?

Aw, she brought
that dumb, yippy dog

to the restaurant in her purse.

Have you ever tried to
ask someone to marry you

with a dog yipping?

Yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip.

The worst.

(sighs)

I got steamed, and I left.

I went to a buddy's,

had a few beers.

All right, like ten.

Had this crazy idea

to run down to the lake.

Without trunks.

It was spur of the moment.

I slipped on something...

(sighs)

I wanted to marry her.

She never even knew.

She will now.

Who were you just talking...

What is up?

You know, the other day,

you called somebody Charlie,

and now you're
talking to yourself.

Uh, actually, I'm...

I'm glad that you
brought that up.

Okay.

You know how
sometimes when you...

(sighs)

You know how you think that I...

How do I say this?

Oh, my God.

Are you pregnant?

You're pregnant, aren't you?

No.

No, I'm not pregnant.

I see ghosts.

(laughs)

You're kidding, right?

No.

No, I'm not kidding, actually.

That...

That's insane.

W-Why would... Why
would you tell me this?

Because you have a
ghost attached to you.

Look, Delia, I know how
you feel about this stuff,

and I really...

I really didn't wanna
have to tell you,

but the reason that I am

is because the ghost
that's attached to you

is Charlie.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

You told Ned this, didn't you?

Yes, but he already knew,

because he had seen
me talking to one once.

And I know that I
should've told you first,

and I'm so sorry.

How dare you mess
with my kid like that?

He thinks his
dad's ghost is here.

I heard him talking
to him, for God's sake.

Well, he was. Ch... Charlie...

Just stop. Stop it.

You need help.

You need help, Melinda.

And if you ever, ever

talk to my son again,
so help me God...

How many times
did I walk in here

and see you talking
to yourself or...

Or acting all jittery?

And I never said a word. Never.

I just thought you...
You were quirky.

But it turns out you are nuts.

By the way...

I quit.

Things are not better.

Now that she
knows, they're worse.

I'm sorry.

I wish it would go away.

I wish that I could
wake up tomorrow

and it would just be gone.

Don't say that.

You do too much
good with your gift.

You help too many people.

What good is it if it hurts
the people that I love?

Andrea, Delia.

It did not help them.

I can figure out perfect
strangers' ghosts,

but I can't help my friends'.

That is not a gift.

(sniffs)

Ned.

Were you playing with
your dad's cologne?

Ned.

Were you in your dad's stuff?

(The Police's "Every Breath
You Take" playing on radio)

Ned, if this is one
of your pranks...

( suspenseful theme playing)

(knocking)

I want you to tell me
what the hell is going on.

DELIA: This is crazy.

I smelled his cologne.

How are you doing this?

I'm not doing anything.

Okay, think about it.

What would I gain by
tricking you or anyone?

I am not buying
any of this, Melinda.

There's obviously some
kind of explanation for it.

Yeah, there is.

You just don't
wanna know about it.

So you're saying Charlie is here

because he's
trying to protect me.

Yes.

From what?

Other men? I...

I don't know.

I don't know, okay?

It doesn't have to be rational.

Trauma can affect people's
personalities, dead or alive.

It's like Chad. I
mean, he said...

You spoke with Chad?

Yeah, he said... He said that...

You know, it was
hard for Charlie,

and that his...

He was not the
same after the fire.

That fire was the best thing
that ever happened to Charlie.

Really?

Charlie was a workaholic.

For the first seven
years of Ned's life,

he was just this
weekend warrior dad.

So then what happened?

I don't know why we
are talking about this.

Because I...

I really wanna know.

I don't know what happened,

but there was
something about that fire.

We never talked about it.

But afterwards, he
was much happier.

I just remember him
saying all the time,

over and over again...

"I just don't wanna
wake up one day

thinking it was all a waste."

MELINDA: Charlie was
obsessed about not wasting his life.

Thanks. But what does
that have to do with the fire?

He started saying that stuff
after the building burned.

That report is printing.

You know, everyone keeps saying

that something changed
about Charlie that day.

Nobody seems to know what.

I know about you, Charlie.
You can stop hiding from me.

You don't know anything.

I know that Tim's the guy
that rescued you from the fire.

See, I was thinking
that it was like

all the other guys you were
driving away from Delia,

but that's not true, is it?

I told you to keep out of this.

So then I was thinking,
the lavender roses,

the song, the bike:

all things that Delia likes.

You're not trying
to keep them apart,

you want them to be together.

Look, you've already put

everything I've
worked for at risk.

I just need a little more time.

And I just need to know
why you're doing this.

I was working late again.

I was the only
one in the office.

Hurry up, guys!

Come on!

Hurry up!

I just saw my life
going down in flames.

Hey, hey, hey!
Don't go in there!

I didn't listen.

( dramatic theme playing)

And I realized
right at that moment

that it wasn't about the files.

It was about my life
with Ned and Delia.

(panting)

Captain, I'm going in!

CAPTAIN: Careful
in there, Flaherty!

There we go, there
we go, there we go.

And when I came to, I
was... I was delirious.

I... I remember, uh,
looking up into that face,

and just...

I was so happy to be alive.

I was so happy to
get a second chance.

Thank you so much.

I told him I would
never forget it, I would...

I would never forget

how he risked his
life to save mine.

But he told me he
didn't see it that way.

He just tried to do
the best he could

with every day that he had.

I'll never wake up thinking it
was all a waste, you know?

He just knew...

what took me so long to realize.

And thank God I did,

because three years
later, I was gone.

So you wanted him to
take care of Ned and Delia.

I just knew he was
the one, you know?

I felt it.

So she starts dating,

and you make sure
that they all go badly.

And it was going
fine until you butted in.

I'm the one who wanted
them to be together,

so why wouldn't
you just come to me?

'Cause I didn't trust you.

So instead you gave hints to Tim

on how to win her over.

Not the greatest plan.

Oh, I did much more than that.

It was a long time ago.

I knew she needed those
lamps for her open house.

Oh, damn.

(moans)

Hey, hey, hey. Huh.

So I sent her to you.

Come on, Mom. I'm gonna be late.

Let's go.

And you brought her to Tim.

You know, it may
not work out, but...

I wanted them at
least to have a chance.

Tim rescued my dad?

CHARLIE: She's never
gonna believe you,

but at least she likes Tim now,

so you can't completely
screw things up.

Thanks for the
vote of confidence.

Who are you talking to?

She's talking to Dad, Mom.

He's here.

Ned, it's time to say goodbye.

It's time for him to go.

But before he does,
he wants to tell you

why he tried to scare
you in the basement.

Don't you?

I did a lot of crazy
things when I was a kid,

starting about
your age. And, uh...

It got me into a
whole bunch of trouble,

and I still regret it.

And I just wanna keep you

from having to
go through all that.

Ned, your dad did a
lot of messed up things

when he was your age,

and he just wants to keep you
from making those same mistakes.

I... I get it.

And I'm glad you
came back, Dad, but...

you don't have to
worry about us anymore.

I can take care of things.

CHARLIE: I know you can, son.

You grew up so well.

I'm proud of you, buddy.

All I want is you
to be happy now.

I want you to find
the love you deserve.

Wha... What was that?

He's saying goodbye.

And he says that he wants you

to be happy now.

And to find love.

Okay, um...

I'm sorry, but I
just... I can't...

Delia.

What if Charlie wasn't dead?

What if he was here
and you had no doubt?

What would you say?

Mom.

Please.

I would...

I would say that he
made me happy too.

More than he could ever know.

That he gave me peace.

And I would...

I would say, "I love you."

And that I will always,
always love you.

I love you.

I love you both...

so much.

He loves you too.

Both of you.

And thank you.

Hey.

I just thought I'd...
You know what?

Before you say
anything, can I just...

I'm really sorry that I went
behind your back with Ned.

I know you are. Thank you.

Here's the thing.

I think the reason
why I got so mad...

So hurt is because you're just

so important to me.

You've been such
an amazing friend,

and I know you're a good person.

I know you are.

Just nuts.

Yeah, slightly nuts.

(laughs)

But I don't wanna
lose your friendship,

and I just...

I just can't go where you go.

Can you understand that?

I understand that.

How did he know

lavender roses were my favorite?

Do you really wanna know?

(laughs)

Hey.

Tomorrow...

Do you want me to open up?

That would be great.
