[Minister]|While this is a time...

[Minister]|While this is a time...

[Chris] Where are we now?

[Doc] Maybe you won't want|to stay. This is your funeral.

What am I on? You're real fuzzy.

[Doc] At least you're willing|to see yourself.

You're losing your fear.

Fear?

[Doc] That you disappeared.

You didn't. You only died.

A woman...who lost her children|just four years ago.

Every day in the Lord's Prayer.

Celia...come on. Whoa.

Shhhhh...

This one is a present...for me.

It's our Double D-anniversary.

Kind of our special day.

It's her version of our place.

- Your place?|- Where we first met.

Where we were|going to retire, I guess.

Live out our lives.|Be old farts together.

Right there.

That's our dream house.

That one's me, I guess.

The blurry one is Annie.|Looks a little familiar, Doc.

[Laughs]

The funeral is over. Why is|this going on past the funeral?.

[Annie] 'Dear Diary,

'I'm writing because|my shrink is crazier than me.

'He thinks you're therapy.

'If two babies can|hammer me into a psycho ward,

'what'll I do with this?

'He's so stupid.

'He thinks he pulled me|through the breakdown

'when it was only Christy.

'Always. Only Chris.'

Jesus...

'I was looking through|his postcards.

'Paintings were his obsession.

'He used art to love me,|to help me.

'To keep us always together.

I'm here, babe.

I still exist.

You're thinking of me.

Keep thinking of me.

Come on, with me.

You were always with me.

The people who finished each|other's sentences. Remember us?

I still exist.

I still exist!

(I still exist.)

Just write it down.

Write it down.

[Chris] "This is Chris."

"This...is...Chris."

"I...

"still...

"exist."

Read it.

READ it.

[Chris]|Christ, when does it end?

[Chris]|Christ, when does it end?

[Doc] There's no rules, Chris.

It ends when you want.

- Where were you?|- Someplace else.

You think I'm a figment|of your imagination?

She's real. You're real.|It's all real.

That's the point|if there is one.

It's over when you stop|wanting to hurt her.

Forever...

Don't worry, baby...

I'm not leaving you alone.

I'm not going anywhere.

[Screams hysterically]

Goodbye, babe.

[Birds singing]

[Barking]

Katie, it's you !

You're young again!

Come here, Katie! [Laughs]

Katie, Katie!

Come on, hey!

Boy, I screwed up.|I'm in dog heaven.

A place where we all go|can't be bad, can it, girl?.

Maybe I'm not|in your heaven after all!

Maybe you're in mine!

[Katie barks]

Annie!

[Doc]|What the hell have you done?

That's not how|you use a stethoscope!

Albert Lewis?

Last time you saw me|I was 63, on a cardiac ward!

You thought I was old|and decrepit, huh?

Talking about "Ah, can't go on!"

Who wants to be 63|throughout eternity?
