Just Like Heaven

Synopsis: Elizabeth Masterson, a dedicated doctor in San Francisco, had almost no time for anything. When her sister with two kids set her up on a date, she gets into a tragic car crash and goes into a coma. Meanwhile, a landscape architect named David Abbott moves to San Francisco and, coincidentally, into Elizabeth's apartment for rent. While at the apartment, Elizabeth's spirit haunts him. She doesn't remember who she is, who her family is or what she did - All that she remembered was her apartment and where everything was. To settle the arguments, David agrees to figure out who Elizabeth really is. When they get close to figuring out who she is, they eventually find love with one another and as they finally know who she really is, they learn that fate really has put them both together.

Elizabeth.

- How long was I out?

- About six minutes.

Thanks.

- OK. I'll be right there.

- OK, I'll be outside. Hey, Fran.

What are you still doin' here?

- How long you been on?

- Twenty-three.

Twenty-three?

Time to go, Elizabeth.

That's not gonna get me

an attending slot.

Adams? She needs to know

how to redress her sutures,

but then she can be discharged.

No, no. Ellis needs an EKG.

I don't like these swollen ankles.

- All right.

- Thanks.

Hey. I took care of Trauma Two

while you slept.

- I wasn't sleeping, I was just...

- You're welcome.

You're on in five and eight.

Jenny? You seen Jenny?

Sorry. Sorry. I'm here.

Hi, Mr. Olarke.

I'm Dr. Masterson.

We're gonna need a OBO,

lytes and a UA.

Anything I can do to make you

feel more comfortable today?

- Marry me?

- Wow.

No, I have my own bus pass.

Well, then how could I refuse?

Let me just call my sister and see if

I can borrow her dress. You sit tight.

Keep an eye on my fianc,

and decrease his morphine drip.

Doin' OK?

Olear bed four.

Sir, you wanna step over...

I got it. I got it.

I got it.

- I was just about to...

- You're welcome.

Thank you.

UTI progressing into infection.

Pneumonia. Diabetic coma.

Una problema con sus riones.

I'll have a Venti, triple-shot,

sugar-free, vanilla, nonfat cappuccino.

- Doctor.

- Mr. Olarke?

Will you marry me?

Of course, Mr. Olarke. But first,

we need to find you a robe. Jenny!

Sorry. Sorry. I'm here.

Going full Kabuki tonight, Fran?

The dark circles

were scaring the patients.

And she's got a hot date tonight.

Stop! I'm going out to dinner

with my ex and his mother.

He still hasn't told her

we're divorced.

I won't be responsible for killing

an 80-year-old woman.

I'll trade nights with you.

I've gotta go home and sew

six caterpillar costumes

with Velcro legs

for Katie's dance class.

I don't know

how you guys do it.

Nick is totally pushing me for kids.

I don't have time to shave my legs.

- Stop shaving. He'll leave you alone.

- Really?

Elizabeth, you're so lucky that all

you have to worry about is work.

- Dr. Masterson, are you in there?

- Yeah, I'll be right out.

- Ankle in bed two.

- OK, there's no fracture.

Just wrap it up

and send him home. Thanks.

- Hello?

- Are you really coming?

Yes, I'm coming.

Good. Because this guy is great.

You met him? Is he there?

I haven't actually

met him in person.

Abby, you're not setting me up

with a stranger.

He's a friend of an old friend.

He's really nice.

What does that mean,

fat with a good sense of humor?

Not again, Abby.

It wasn't easy

to get this guy to come.

He doesn't do this kind of thing either.

Do you girls have to do that here?

Do we not have six other rooms

in the house? Help Mommy.

I'm in the seventh circle of hell,

you better show up.

I'll be there.

I'm just really busy.

Don't you dare. You don't know

the meaning of the word.

I'm doin' you this huge favor here.

Beggars can't be choosers.

I am completely capable

of meeting men on my own.

I know, honey. I'd just like you

to meet one who's not bleeding.

I've already had

two marriage proposals today.

- Marry me.

- Yes, Mr. Olarke.

Yes, of course.

Make that three.

- I'll see ya at seven.

- It is seven.

Thirty. 7:
30.

What are you making?

Lasagna. Mom's recipe.

No carbohydrate comments.

Please. I'm going on a day and a half

of cafeteria salad. Anything'll do.

Who put SpongeBob in the pasta?

I gotta go.

So, what are you gonna do?

The only other option is Phoenix.

- Would you consider it?

- Phoenix, San Francisco.

Old people and melanomas versus

great sushi and desperate women.

Walsh likes you.

Dr. Walsh. Gunshot victim,

internal hemorrhaging.

- How long have you been here?

- Twelve hours.

A few more.

- All right, Brett.

- I'll scrub up.

Elizabeth.

Yes, sir.

I was going to wait till tomorrow,

but I wanted to let you know

that I've made my decision.

I want you to stay on

as an attending physician.

Really? Thank you.

- Hey. Hey.

- Thank you, Dr. Walsh.

You've earned it.

Unlike some others,

you spend more time being concerned

with what's best for the patient

than kissing my ass.

A risky move, but I like it.

Sir, I can't thank you enough

for this opportunity.

There's so much I want to do here.

I can't wait to get started.

- Elizabeth?

- Yes?

The only thing I need you

to do right now is go home.

- But, sir, I... I have...

- Go.

You've been here 26 hours.

I know all.

- Dr. Masterson.

- Yeah?

I have a bowel obstruction in six.

At least, I think that's what it is.

Can you take a quick peek?

Yeah, of course.

- Brett.

- Congratulations.

Thank you. I didn't know

Walsh was gonna...

I have an offer in Phoenix.

Life's good.

That's great. That's great.

It's fine.

- Hey, Abby, it's me.

- Hey.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I know. I'm on my way.

- Don't worry. Your date's late too.

- Listen. I have good news.

I got the attending position.

I'm staying in San Francisco.

Oh, that's great!

Well, get over here.

- We're breakin' out the champagne.

- I'll be there in a minute. Bye.

This place is heaven.

It's been photographed

for magazines.

Yeah. I think I told you I was

gonna need something furnished.

Well, it is furnished.

Where's the couch?

Do you believe all of this space?

Yeah, it's great

for all those raves I'll be throwing.

I'm... sensing a "no."

Wow, huh?
