- Here it comes.

- Just let him talk.

- Define "great."

I don't know.

It's not thinking about the past

or the future.

It's difficult to explain.

Maybe impossible.

Dying is funny that way.

Nelson's right. There definitely

is activity beyond death.

Absolutely.

The experience was strange.

It was almost erotic.

He's dead and he gets laid.

Wait a second.

What do you mean, "erotic"?

I don't want you to think it was

casually, wantonly sexual by any means.

That never would have occurred to me

in a million years.

It was friendly.

There was something vaguely feminine

guiding me.

This could be the conquest

of our generation.

The last great frontier.

First you had...

the sea, then America.

Then the West, the moon.

Mr. Leary, drugs,

the inner journey.

Miss MacLaine, and our former

First Lady, the outer journey.

- But this is ours.

- We did have disco.

We have found something worthwhile

to upstage those f***ing baby boomers.

Watch your mouths.

I found something.

Let's not forget that.

I came back from the dead tonight.

Doesn't surprise me.

We had Elvis in here last night.

Pay when you're ready, okay?

Did you find it difficult at the end,

getting back?

Not that I remember.

But you remember everything else?

You guys are full of sh*t.

I'm not buying any of this.

I probably wouldn't buy it either

unless I'd been there.

- What about it?

- You're an atheist.

You've got nothing to lose.

I'm going next.

Wait a minute.

Nobody...

is going next.

There's no answers here.

You saw what you wanted to see.

- Give it up. It's getting too dangerous.

- Who the hell are you...

We can't turn back now.

I'm going further. 1:50.

Two minutes.

- Whoa, you just said...

- I changed my mind. Two minutes.

- 2:
10.

- 2:
20.

Well, looks like

we found a winner.

Enjoying yourself, Nelson?

Joe...

was there anything negative

about your experience?

Anything negative at all?

No. Nothing.

Good.

Hold on.

- Was that your idea of chivalry?

- Absolutely not.

Maybe trying to show me up.

What makes you think everything

is always about you?

Because nobody seems to want me to

go under. I don't need your protection.

There seems to be a lot of speculation

about what you do need, Manus.

Does there? And what did you decide

in your infinite wisdom?

I decided that when someone

as smart and driven as you are...

and incredibly beautiful...

it makes the rest of us

very nervous.

Why'd you change your mind?

I'm the skeptic, the control

on this experiment. I should go next.

If there's nothing there,

I won't convince myself there is.

Then there's no reason for us

to go any further.

How do you explain the similarity
