The Five People You Meet in Heaven Page #4

There are no random acts.

We are all connected.

- Good comes from it.

- Good?

What good came from this?

You died.

Well...

you lived.

But I barely knew you.

We were strangers.

Strangers are just family

you have yet to come to know.

I am leaving now, Edward.

I can go on.

Wait...

The little girl

at the pier?

I tried to save her...

I felt her hands...

I musta pulled her...

I can't remember after that...

Did I save her? Was the last

thing I did a failure, too?

I cannot answer that.

Then... my life was a waste...

No life is a waste.

There will be others.

Your journey does not end here.

Can I ask you...

where are you going?

I'm not.

Couldn't sleep.

Me, neither.

When you think they'll

open us up again?

I don't know.

Ask the police.

I still can't believe it,

you know?

I always thought he was

too stubborn to die.

There was a second

heaven for Eddie...

although heaven was not

the word he would have chosen.

His body felt

older now, stronger.

And he ran with the hard,

measured steps of a soldier.

Smallpox!

Smallpox! Typhoid!

Tetanus!

Yellow Fever!

You know, I never did find out

what the hell Yellow Fever was.

All them shots, for all those

diseases, and I still died here...

anyhow, healthy as a horse.

Doesn't seem right, does it?

Coulda saved my arm

all them pokey needles.

Who are you?

How do you like them apples?

Come on.

That was funny.

Come on down!

Come on up!

Ah, you don't wanna look down.

It'll only make ya dizzy.

You got real old...

that's a compliment.

They explain the rules

to you, soldier?

- I'm dead...

- You got that right.

You're my second person?

Got that right, too.

Left you your helmet.

And your old rifle.

Not that they're much use

to ya here.

Captain?

Affirmative.

Betcha didn't expect me, huh?

Hey Goldilocks...

it'll take you a lot

longer than that...

to get as pretty as me,

you know that!

Dog Zero Six, this is

Able Zero Six, over.

Dog Zero Six, if you copy,

break squelch, twice, over.

C'mon, Rabozzo, ya stickpin.

Pick it up!

It's hot.

And I got all this

extra stuff to carry.

Ah, I'm sorry Daisy, you got a

little stain on your dress, there?

Shut your yap!

Must be jingle-brained...

Keep it on that ridge.

I can't...

You can't? What do you

mean, you can't?

What are you going

to just sit there?

- Get up! Hey, get up!

- Hold on, Morton, hold on.

Before you go killing anybody.

I got a better idea.

Give me your pack, Rabozzo.

Come on.

I'll race you to the Captain.

I'll carry his pack...

Ioser's gotta carry it

till dark.

Okay, Goldilocks.

You're on.

You sure you can do that,

Eddie?

You ever run up a roller coaster

with a sledgehammer?
