"And the Raven, never flitting,
still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas
And his eyes have all the seeming
of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming
throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow
that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted... nevermore!"
Pretty good, huh? Okay.
I want you to read
You're gonna like it.
It's about a schoolteacher
who gets chased by a headless demon.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Can teachers be expelled
for kissing in the hallway?
- They get fired.
- Thank God it's Friday.
You sound like one of my students.
Why don't you carry my books?
I hope you haven't made any plans
for this afternoon.
- Where are we going?
- It's a surprise.
You okay?
- What's wrong?
- I don't know.
- It didn't used to bother me.
- Enjoy the ride, folks?
That's it. Take it away.
- Do you want to come in?
- I'd better not.
Are you all right?
I'm okay.
I had a wonderful time.
Are you sure you don't want to come in?
You could spend the night here.
Better not.
Some things are worth waiting for.
My books.
Johnny, wait!
I'm going to marry you, you know?
You'd better.
- Drive carefully.
- I will.
Where's Intensive Care?
Johnny.
Johnny, don't leave me, please.
Johnny, you're going to get better.
I know you are.
Can you hear me?
We're going to get married, Johnny.
Don't leave me.
Hello, John.
My name's Weizak.
I'm Dr. Sam Weizak.
I'm the director of this clinic.
You've been our guest here for a while.
Guest?
It's a funny way of putting it.
How do you feel?
My throat hurts.
Try a bit of water.
Come.
Hey, slow down.
Not so fast. Slow down.
You've been involved
in a terrible traffic accident.
Do you remember?
Am I okay?
Well,
you've been smashed up pretty badly.
What is it?
No bandages.
How come?
Your parents are here.
They're right next door.
I'm going to bring them in now.
Is that okay?
Sure.
Do come in.
- Hi, Mom, Dad.
- John.
Johnny.
Johnny, Johnny.
It's a miracle, John.
I know. I was lucky.
Look here, not a scratch.
The Lord has delivered you
from your trance.
Remember what we discussed,
Mrs. Smith, please.
What's she talking about?
You've been in a coma, Johnny.
Not a trance.
Coma?
For how long?
We're just glad to have you back, son.
That's all that matters.
How long?
Dad, how long?
Five years.
Five long years, John.
Lost for five years.
And now reborn unto me.
Five...
years?
What about Sarah?
Cast her from your thoughts, John.
She's turned her back on you.
She cleaves now unto another man,
a husband.
Husband?
Amy.
Amy.
- Amy.
- Amy is my daughter's name.
Your daughter's screaming.
The house is burning. Your daughter's
in the house. It's not too late.
Amy.
Amy!
Your daughter's screaming.
Amy's screaming. It's not too late.
Your daughter's screaming. Hurry up!
is getting your body back into shape.
Although you've been
exercised regularly,
the ligaments have shortened a little
during the coma.
Am I gonna have to live in a wheelchair?
Not permanently.
And not for very long. Not if I can help it.
I won't deceive you, John.
Your therapy will be long and painful.
But you will walk.
Thank you.
The wolf is loose.
John. John, are you all right?
No match for them.
Horses, fire.
The boy is safe.
The boy is safe.
John! John!
John, are you all right?
Tell me. What about the boy?
You keep saying,
"The boy is safe, the boy is safe."
- What boy?
