Life-Size

Here's Eve at the Sand and Sea Club.

Let's catch a wave!

Press the button on Eve's back, and she talks to you.

Remember, don't pollute our oceans.

Watch Eve drive her Fun 'N' Sun convertible to the mall

and see what this lady can do.

It's fun to dress up!

I look awesome!

Love animals, don't wear them.

Now Eve's ready to come home to Sunnyvale,

where the sun always shines.

Then pick a career for Eve. She does it all.

Take Eve home and watch her sparkle and shine.

Like the song says...

I'm Eve, and you're my special friend.

- How about one of those? - No way! I don't want a doll.

I want something with microchips.

I don't get it, Sam.

Used to be, we couldn't keep dolls on the shelf.

Now all those kids want is high-tech this and high-tech that.

Here we go!

- You dropped the ball again! - You throw like a girl!

Hey, break it up! Break it up!

Stuart, off the field now!

You too, Weiner!

Go play with your dolls, case-oid.

Get a life, Weiner-head.

I hate dolls as much as I hate you.

Casey, this behavior has to stop.

It's a game, remember?

- - 3:00? Oh, no!

I missed Casey's game again.

Oh...

I'm going for a perfect record.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

I'm sure she knows you love her. That's what counts.

Yeah, remember all those Sundays

you spent teaching Casey how to pass a football

when you could've been with me, pigging out on pizza, watchin' the NFL?

Well, that was a while ago. Things have changed.

Well, come have some lunch with us. We'll cheer you up.

No, thanks. I'm gonna eat here.

Okay, Ben, trying to make partner is one thing,

but you are working way too hard.

What if I cook a fabulous dinner tomorrow night

for you and Casey at my place? I guarantee it'll be Tofu-free.

I can't. Tomorrow is Casey's birthday,

and I promised we'd have dinner just me and her.

That's so sweet.

See? You are a great dad.

Okay, well, give Casey a big birthday kiss for me.

- I will. - I'll see you down there.

Hoo-hoo!

You are in there, buddy.

She's only been here six months. Already, she wants to cook for you.

Richie, Drew's great.

- I'm just not ready, okay? - You've been saying that for two years.

You need to loosen up, have some fun again.

Karen would've wanted you to move on...

for you and for Casey.

"The Mysticism and spells web site.

Resurrection."

"Looking to bring back a lost soul? Try Holcroft's Book of the Dead,

long believed to contain mystical powers.

Type in your city to find a copy at a bookstore nearest you."

- -

"Past Pages bookstore."

Looks like we're both working late.

What are you doin'?

Oh, nothing. Just surfing.

Good night.

I should've been there.

I'm sorry.

You wore out "Sorry" a long time ago.

Did you win?

We're in the championships Wednesday.

Congratulations.

I know. You promise to be there, right?

Casey, I realize this is hard to understand,

but making partner means a lot to me

- and to us. - I understand!

I'm not a little kid anymore!

I know you're not.

Hey!

Tomorrow's our special dinner, right?

How about Sunday, you and I spend the whole day together

just you and me for your birthday?

Okay?

Sure, Dad.

Dad...

does everything happen for a reason?

Sometimes...

things just happen, sweetheart.

- Good night. -

Good night, Dad.

Did you check out the new shoes at the mall?

Yeah, they're great.

They're so cool.

Don't look now, but here comes the loner.

That's not very nice.

Ever since her mom died, she's totally ignored us.

Yeah, like, get over it already.

Casey!

We're going to the mall. Wanna come?

No, thanks.

Hey, how come you never want to hang out with us anymore?

Sarah, there's more to life than just shopping.

Hang on!

Local Publications, uh, 1821.

All right. You could have it by... Okay, that's great.

Oh, okay. So not anytime soon.

All right.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

$150?

$63.

Now, is that the outside date? No?

Oh, great. I'll never see her again.

"Resurrecting lost life forces.

Now you are ready to summon a life force.

The Channelor must follow each step precisely.

Step one... prepare the Altar."

Now, make a wish before it self-destructs.

I hope all your wishes come true, sweetie.

This is your favorite, double chocolate...

Chocolate on the outside and chocolate on the inside.

Look at that.

- Dad, you know what I wished for? - What?

That mom could somehow come back.

- Casey, please... - Maybe it can work! The books say that...

Casey, I thought we already discussed this.

No more of that junk.

Look...

I wish that there was magic too, but life doesn't work that way.

You remember what Dr. Jacobs said about accepting reality?

Yeah. He's a quack and has bad breath. What does he know?

How to help unhappy people be happy again.

- So, no more talk about that stuff, okay? - You never want to talk about Mom.

Hey! You know what I found yesterday?

Super Bowl tickets.

You remember? Green Bay versus New England.

Everyone in the stands was on their feet.

And Mom was cheering so hard she couldn't talk for a week.

Remember that guy behind us kept yelling, "Down in front, down in front"?

But I never took you off my shoulders, did I?

No.

We had a great time, didn't we?

Yeah.

- Hi. - Hi.

I am so sorry to barge in on you and Casey,

but you forgot the depo questions yesterday.

You were gonna review my draft?

- Oh, right. - And I wouldn't have bothered you,

but Phil needs it Monday morning.

No, no problem. Um, I can do it right now.

Come on in.

Hey, sweetie, happy birthday. I couldn't help myself.

Now, don't kill me.

Oh. What do you know? A doll.

But not just any doll.

May I?

This is a very special doll.

This is Eve.

She has a very sophisticated look, don't you think?

Let's go to the mall.

You're my special friend.

And what's great is, she's numbered, like a work of art.

- Oh. - She's a collector's item.

Yeah, look. It says,

"Complete with certificate of authenticity inside."

How about that, Case?

Yeah, she's a real piece of...

Art.

Oh, I know you're too old to play with dolls, Casey,

but I started collecting them when I was your age.

Thanks, Drew. I'll put her in someplace real special.

- I guess that wasn't such a great idea. - Oh, come on. She-she loved it.

"A remnant from the object to be transformed

must be placed in the center of the altar, the strongest meridian point."

Mom's brush.

Mom, you taught me never to give up.

You were always there for me.

Just be there for me one more time.

"You are now ready to commence with the incantation.

But do so wisely, for it will only work once."

- -

Casey, are you still up?

Come in.

Hi. I just wanna say good night.

Hi.
