Sample dialogue
That’s right. Maybe they didn’t want to die. Maybe they weren’t ready. Maybe they hadn’t begun to live yet or lived a long, long time anyway, but wanted more life. They resist going into the light no matter how hard the light wants them. They hang around, watch TV, watch their friends grow up, feeling all unhappy or jealous and those feelings are bad, they hurt. And then some people just get lost on the way to the light. They need someone to lead them there.

scene 106 — INT. PSYCHIC RESEARCH CENTER - LECTURE HALL - DAYOh, nonsense. I’ll tell you what is embarrassing. My being here with you nice people. Parapsychology isn’t something you master in. There are no certificates of graduation, no license to practice. I’m a professional psychologist who spends most of her time engaged in this ghostly hobby, which makes me, I suppose, the most irresponsible sixty-one-year old woman I know.
