You didn't actually think

that would work, did you?

"Knock three times."

Birdies!

Get it!

Dad?

- Can't you see I'm relaxing?

- I want to tell you what I saw.

What is the point of my coming here

if you people won't let me relax?

Pumpkin, sweetheart...

...go help your mother.

Maybe you can relax in a haunted house,

but I can't.

Hmm, nice building.

Bad roof. Good parking.

- Adam?

- This way, honey.

You don't have an appointment.

- We didn't know how to make one.

- Appointment for what?

- What do you want?

- Help?

Already? Just bit the big one

two months ago and you want help.

What does that have to do with anything?

You'll use up all your help vouchers: D-90s.

You spend 125 years on earth

in that house...

...during which you get only three class-one

D-90 intercessions with Juno.

You probably haven't read through

the manual completely yet.

You'll have to wait if you don't have

an appointment.

- An appointment with whom?

- For Juno, your caseworker.

Number 54,000,601. Ferndock!

- Want a cigarette?

- No, thank you.

I'm trying to cut down myself.

Adam, is this what happens when you die?

This is what happens when you die.

That is what happens when he dies.

And that is what happens when they die.

It's all very personal.

I'll tell you something.

If I knew then what I know now,

I wouldn't have had my little accident.

Maitland. Party of two.

Take the handbook

and go to the sixth door.

Oh, we forgot our handbook.

Come on.

All new arrivals,

report to waiting room number eight.

Flight 409 is arriving at gate three.

How do I look?

There are no mirrors on this side.

- You look fine.

- Fine.

Thanks. I've been feeling a little flat.

Will the Peterson party

report to door number nine.

Peterson party, please report

to door number nine.

All new arrivals,

report to waiting room number eight.

I can't believe they didn't tell us.

Oh, Adam, what is this?

That's the Lost Souls' Room.

A room for ghosts

that have been exorcised.

Poor devils.

That's death for the dead.

It's all in the handbook.

Keep moving.

Five.

This is the sixth door.

Boy, this place just gets weirder

and weirder.

We're home!

Look at this place! Everything's different.

All our furniture's gone.

How long do you suppose

we were waiting there?

Three months.

I'd almost given up on you.

I was about to leave.

I do have other clients.

- Are you Juno, our caseworker?

- Yes.

I evaluate individual cases and determine...

...if help is needed, deserved and available.

Are you available?

No.

- What's wrong?

- We're very unhappy.

What did you expect? You're dead!

We want to get rid of the people here.
