Over Her Dead Body Page #2

Synopsis: In Los Angeles, Henry is a veterinarian whose fiancée Kate dies in an accident on the day they're to marry. Worried that Henry has closed off his social life, his sister suggests he use a psychic to contact Kate, lay to rest unresolved feelings, and live more fully. He tries it, though he doesn't believe in it. Nothing happens, so his sister gives Ashley, the psychic, Kate's diary. Now she's able to convince Henry she's in contact with Kate and start the therapy. Two things happen: they find themselves attracted to each other, and Kate's ghost, who also has some unresolved issues, returns to stop this budding romance.

What are you...

Can you...

I'm just... It's smoking.

Can you...

Well, how's the crab dip going?

Crab dip is going great.

Oh, no, no.

The crab dip is going

spectacularly well.

That's the thing

in the little red bowl, right?

Yes. Can you just

chop something, please?

Chopping, chopping.

Oh, God, Dan.

You know, as much as

I love you hovering around...

and watching me while I work,

how's the reading going?

- Oh, the reading. The reading.

- Okay.

I'm back.

Listen, I gotta run.

Oh, really?

Sorry about that, Mary.

- I just...

- Oh, no. You did good.

- Really?

- Absolutely.

Maybe we have a boat

I forgot about.

- Yeah. I mean, you know...

- Yeah.

And remember, no...

- driving on Mondays.

- Driving on Mondays.

Right? Be careful.

Bye.

Okay, Dan.

Why aren't you chopping?

Hmm? Oh, small cut.

- What?

- It's fine. It's tiny. It's all good.

- Really?

- Yeah. And most of the blood...

went into the tomato sauce,

so who's gonna know?

Dan, look, I'm sorry

for leaving you alone.

It's so unfair.

You have my complete,

undivided attention now, okay?

Stir the barnaise sauce

before it separates, all right?

You got it. Oh, barnaise...

No, actually,

I know what that one is.

- Good.

- Yeah, we're good. We're good.

Damn it.

- Hi.

- Hi.

I'm Chloe.

I'm a friend of Beth's.

She gave me your address

and told me to stop by.

- Yeah. Hi.

- Hi. How are you?

Beth. God, how is she?

Ah, you know,

still with the drummer.

You are kidding me.

That guy is a mess.

I thought they totally broke up.

Which time? I think, it's

been like five times already.

Do you know that girl Colleen,

who he used to date?

- Do you know Colleen?

- Yeah.

- Have we met before?

- You look really familiar.

That's so weird, 'cause

when you opened the door...

- I was like, "I think I know that girl."

- Yeah.

That's so funny.

Oh, man.

Uh... sorry.

This is my brother, Henry.

Hi.

He needs your help.

I don't know about that.

You promised.

Well, come on in.

Wow. God, Beth.

Haven't heard her name...

long time.

Um, how can I help you?

I don't know if you can.

Henry's fiance passed away

about a year ago...

on their wedding day.

Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.

Thank you.

I hope you don't mind me asking,

but how, um...

How did it happen?

She was crushed by an angel...

and as sad as I am,

I do appreciate the irony.

And, well, he's just...

He's not moving on.

I don't think that's so unusual.

You've changed.

You don't smile.

You don't leave your apartment.

I like my apartment.

Nobody hassles me

if I don't smile there.

He's not letting go,

and I was just thinking...

that maybe if he communicated

with his fiance, Kate...
