Ghosts Can't Do It

Did you fall off again?

I'm practicing a new kind of dismount.

Jesus, no.

Jesus, yes.

We're out here playing some kind of goddamn

cowboys and my horse can't keep up.

Dammit!

Oh Scott, what are we doing?

Katie...

I think we're having a heart attack.

No, you're having a thrill again.

This is just one of your goddamn thrills!

Katie, I don't make the fucking rules!

I'm just one of the players.

Oh, great one, this isn't the real thing?

No, it's a goosy situation, baby.

Scott, damn it.

Are you scared?

Oh Scott, I'm afraid.

Cotton!

Yeah, what the hell is going on?

Oh, great one, oh, tell me everything.

Tell me again from the time I was born in your arms.

Will you let me bite your lip?

Is it all right?

Oh, I don't think it'll kill me.

I don't know, it's pretty potent stuff.

Let me try...

What are you doing on your butts?

Scott, he thinks he's having a heart attack.

You bet you 1,000 to one he is.

Maybe we better give him a couple of shots.

Just in case.

Just in case what?

Just in case you need it.

Pull up his shirt for me.

This will have to go in the belly.

Oh, goddamnit, not in the belly.

In the arm, in the arm, Cotton.

No, it's got to go in the belly part.

Goddamnit, I'll kick you right in the head, Cotton.

Not in the belly, that shot does not go in the belly!

Stop it, just stop it now!

Just this try to be brave part.

Oh, brave.

You know, honey, I was seeing one of those big

rabies shots.

You ever seen one of those?

Yeah, yeah.

Oh goddamnit, they're awesome things.

Oh, Scott, this is the real thing, damn you.

Listen, honey, if I have to go,

what'll you do?

I will not cry.

I will not wear ugly black.

And I will go forward with your strength

and live life to the fullest, sir.

You'll be good about this?

Oh, I have to.

Those are the rules.

I sure would like to change them

and take you with me.

Oh, I'll go.

But you're not going anywhere.

Where am I now?

I mean, what did it do to me?

Well, you won't be playing King Kong anymore.

What about Mighty Mouse?

Don't know about Mighty Mouse yet.

Oh, there's my baby.

No, no, no.

Might be catching.

Will you shut up and listen to me?

I don't want to listen to you.

You're saying a lot of shit.

Unfortunately, it is shit.

Tough, ugly shit.

And that's not all of it.

Okay, you're saying my fucking heart's no good.

I'm listening!

The rest of it is that you don't get a new one.

Of course you do.

They do it every day.

Not true.

That's just not true.

Over 60, you don't get a heart.

You're joking.

You're not joking.

Who made that rule?

I don't know, common sense, I guess.

God!

Not really.

Hey, what are you bawling about?

It's just...

Does she know about it?

She's no dummy, Scott.

God, she's beautiful.

Full of health.

Damn it, son of a bitch.

Katie, I hate for you to see me like this.

The hell is that?

What is that?

Oh come on, not a number, for Christ's sake.

They don't mean a goddamn...

Son of a bitch!

Go ahead, inject him.

You're a big boy, you know the facts and consequences.

Facts and consequences my ass.

Scotty, we love you

and I want you to think about that.

Kiss me, baby, kiss me.

I'm sorry, Fred, I'm sorry.

I'll be back soon, pal.

Okay, okay.

Helen, I'm sorry, I apologize.

Just blew my top.

Katie.

That feels wonderful.

Why do I love you so?

Come on now.

Give me the lip.

This is a no no, no no.

I'll tell you when it's a no no.

Come on, put out your lip, put out your lip.

Come on, I need.

That makes me feel better.

That's about it.

All right, you make the changes and patch them to me.

No, no, no, right here at the ranch.

I need you.

Right.

Honey, that was beautiful.

But a little more spur and a little less love

and you might get a better performance out of him.

Well, he's just being a bad boy today.

Just like you sometimes.

Maybe you're right.

Let me see you ride him around again.

Where have you been?

Oh, I, uh, I went to visit an old sweetheart of mine.

No, I just, just riding around, roaming.

You're just a bad boy.

Katie, let's go for a walk.

But you can't.

Why not?

You just can't.

Ah, come on.

Can you?

Katie, I want to go walking with you.

You sure?

I'm sure.

Okay.

Well, who backs up first, you or me?

Okay, boss.

Come on.

How do we jump over this?

You're the genius.

You'll figure something out.

Oh, goddamnit.

Oh god,

god, look how beautiful it is.

I love this country.

Katie, I want to ask your forgiveness.

You're scaring me, great one.

I just want you to remember all the good times.

That's every single second.

Once more.

Not even once more.

Oh, my love.

A lot of good things are...

Getting away from me, Katie.

It's no big deal, Scott.

You're right.

It's no big deal.

I'm no goddamn Hemingway.

I'm not even Norman Mailer.

Dear...

Katie.

No, don't go up there!

Please, Mrs. Scott, I think we ought to.

No, don't go!

Please let us.

No, wait, no, don't come.

Look at me.

Don't come up here.

Ma'am, I think we should.

Just go, please, just go!

Katie, my love, I short changed you the other day

when I said you put the cherry on my cake.

You are my cake.

And now I have to kiss you goodbye.

Oh Scott, don't say these awful things.

We are May - December lovers

and have been from day one.

We used to joke about it, if and when,

and you always said you'd forgive me

if I felt this was necessary.

Katie, it is necessary.

I have no options.

It's necessary that you hold me and love me,
