It's a Wonderful Afterlife Page #3

Listen, panji, I was not bad

to your daughter.

Why did you kill me?

He was the one who said

she was not suitable.

He pushed his sister

to break off the engagement.

MUFFLED:

Of course you did.

You said whoever marries her

will never need a mattress.

MUFFLED:

LAUGHS:

Mattress!

ALL YELP:

OK.

That's not right.

SINGS BADLY:
# I'm losing my way

# And I'm trying to discover

my sou-ou-ou-ou-oul... #

I mean maybe we should write

a song about death.

No, no, I don't forget

when it comes to my children.

That's my mum. She's got guests.

That means she's cooking.

I've got the munchies.

You said that to me.

You think I don't remember?

You think it doesn't hurt

her mother?

It doesn't break her heart

to hear such things.

Perhaps next time you'll think about

her hurt and her pain.

AMERICAN TV VOICEOVER:

'From an early age, John Edward

'displayed remarkable

psychic abilities.

'Predictions and premonitions

he couldn't explain.

'At 15, a reading by a psychic

changed his life.

'John was told

what millions have witnessed.

'He can reunite people

in the physical world

'with those who have crossed over.'

This guy's a scam artist. He can't

help us. We need professional help.

'He's telling me to tell you

'about hiding in

the back right-hand corner."

'Would you go back there and hide?

Yeah.'

It's very emotional

when he contacts the dead relatives.

Especially a wife

whose husband died young.

Hi, Mum.

Hi, Aunty.

Linda, beti.

Namaste, Aunty.

Oh, you've come. Come, come.

If her daughter had that body

we wouldn't be in this problem.

MUFFLED:

I'm totally transformed.

I am no longer Linda.

I am Gitali.

Huh?

It means "melodious one".

It also means you've lost the plot.

You went to India

and changed your name?

Aunty, I met a wonderful

numerologist in Ritikesh.

He said "L" is very bad

for my date of birth.

It's been the "L" in Linda

that has been blocking me in love.

He said if I changed my name

to begin with "G"

it would be very lucky for me.

Hence Gitali.

She may be cracked,

but what a figure.

This is very strange.

What is?

The room. It's vibrating.

It's just the bulb going.

It's haunted.

Don't be daft. This is Ealing.

There are spirits present.

Spirits? What are you on about?

You know I've always been psychic,

right?

While I was at the ashram, my guru

taught me how to harness my gift.

And now I can feel everything.

She has a gift.

She can sense us.

Ooh.

Well, let's see if she can

sense this.

SINGS:

It's very creepy.

It's like cheap cologne.

Ask her why we're still here.

Why are these spirits here, Linda?

It's Gitali.

I feel, Aunty,

it's to do with the murders.

See, she will find you out.
