Show me that smile again.

Don't waste another minute on your crying.

We're nowhere near the end.

The best is yet to begin.

And as long as we got each other, we got the world.

As long as we keep on giving, we can take anything

that comes our way.

Baby, rain or shine, all the time.

We got each other sharing the laughter.

What's Uncle Bob doing sleeping in my office?

Oh, he and Mike played poker last night.

Mike won his room back.

Really?

Well, I'm glad to see Mike getting the upper hand for a change.

Me too.

Too bad he lost your car.

Well, maybe Uncle Bob wouldn't mind giving us a lift to the store later.

Where's Uncle Bob?

Still asleep, I guess.

He's not up yet?

Oh, thank you, God.

Dad, can I borrow some of your shaving cream?

I'd give it a while.

Come on, Mom. I mean, I may never get another chance like this again.

You sprayed me four mornings in a row.

Four mornings in a row?

Take no prisoners.

Yes, sir.

You're bad.

Always support the home team.

Bob beats Mike in the limbo contest.

Want a piece of the action?

You two ought to be ashamed of yourselves betting against your own

Your brother's right, kids.

Well, it was Mike's idea. I mean, he said he'd cover any bet against him. And

he's giving three to one odds.

Three to one.

Whoa.

Jason. I'm just scratching.

For those of you that cried at the funeral, I just want to say that it's

to be ashamed of.

Thank you, Maggie.

Well, are we all ready?

This feels kind of strange, Mom.

Oh, it won't after we get started, honey.

Uncle Bob called this a remembering session.

When someone in my family passed on, Uncle Bob would lead us all in sharing

memories of that person.

whom he would lovingly refer to as the dearly defunct.

Who wants to start?

Okay, then.

I will.

When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a dancer.

And do you know why?

Why? Because Uncle Bob took me to my very first ballet.

And I remember he said, they walk around on their toes.

They do flapping things with their arms, and it doesn't make any sense.

But it's pretty.

Ain't it?

Remember when I had my appendix taken out and Uncle Bob brought me one in a

and told me not to worry because he knew how to put it back in?

Yeah, and when the nurse came, he showed her the jar and said he got it out of

the soda machine?

And then he said he wanted his quarterback.

Oh, and remember what to do when passing blow cars on the road?

Throw.

Throw.

Throw.

I remember how much fun it was when Uncle Bob would make Mike lose.

What?

He could run faster, shoot baskets better. He played games like a champ.

I'd let him win.

Sure you did.

Remember the last visit?

They're in the home stretch, and it's not even close.

Oh, Jason, he lost again. He'll be crushed. I know.

He tries so hard, too.

Here he comes.

And the winner is... Uncle Bob by a mile.

Uncle Bob. Uncle Bob.

B -O -B. Uncle Bob. Please, please. Just throw paper money.

Are you through humiliating my son for the evening?

I don't know.

Carol? We can make it if we hurry.

Let's do it. Yahoo!

So, uh,

the other fella says if I could walk that way, I wouldn't need talcum puffs.

At least you're not the kind of guy who likes to rub it in.

Thanks for the help, guys.

Are you kidding? We live for stuff like this.

Eh, no one will tease you, son.

That's all right, Dad. I can take it. That a boy.

Hey, you want some pizza?

Uncle Bob stopped for one on the way back.

Come on, pal.

Don't take it so hard.

You know you're my favorite nephew.

And what's your name again?

All right, look, you beat me again, but I'm young. And sooner or later, I'm

going to come out on top.

Flutton for punishment.

Should we say running shoes at dawn?

You're on. All right.

I'm first in the shower.

Well,

how about that?

Mike finally got the best of you at something.

Oh, well, not really. I took the knobs off the shower.

Yeah, I didn't want to take a shower.

Your turn, Mike. What do you remember?

Deuces jacks man with an axe.

Paranatural sevens takes all.

Huh?

It's poker.

I love to play poker with Uncle Bob.

Even if he did always win.

You must remember this.

A kiss is still a kiss.

Boy, she was some beautiful day.

I thought we'd always be together.

When the war came, she shipped out.

I gave her a carton of cigarettes.

Your bet.

Yeah, I filmed that story.

The love of your life.

Didn't you ever meet anyone else?

No one like her.

Two Jacks.

We'll always have Milwaukee.

Hey, Uncle Bob.

There's this girl in my geometry class that I like.

When I look at her, I get the chills.

Put a jacket on.

You got a D in geometry. Now, you can do better than that, you hear?

Yeah, I know. I'm trying.

One.

Try harder.

I bet ten.

All right, I'll say you're ten, and I'll rate you ten more.

Cool.

What do you got?

You have three eights.

Full house, nines and fours.

I can't believe it. You win every hand.

Mikey, Mikey, I'm four times older than you. I've got experience. One day you'll

have experience.

Though I wouldn't hold my breath.

Holy mackerel, would you look at the time your mother is gonna kill me for

keeping you up this late.

Oh, no, it's okay, really. She lets me get away with everything when it comes

you. She does?

Let's go downtown and get some tattoos.

You got tattooed?

I was just kidding.

Most important thing I ever learned from Uncle Bob.

Just never draw it on inside straight.

Hey, you remember that Thanksgiving when Uncle Bob brought the whole turkey out

and he put it in front of big old Aunt Doris?

And he said, you go ahead and start.

Ours will be out in a minute.

All right, all right. Look, you wake me up at 3 .30 in the morning.

I say, no problem.

Come down here. What do I get for you?

Buttermilk.

Hey, buttermilk. I hate buttermilk. But I'm going to drink some right now. You

know why?

Because you like it. That's right.

Damn, are you buddy or what?

You betcha.

Morning, Mike.

It was just a dream.

It didn't really happen.

My bed, I love you. Thank you for making it only a dream.

And my pillow.

I love you, pillow.

Breakfast is ready.

I can explain all this.

Don't bother, Mike.

We've known about you and your pillow for a long time now.

She just doesn't understand.

Sorry I'm late, guys. I've had this really weird nightmare last night.

Is that the one where you show up for your final exam with less than a minute

go?

No, that actually happened.

But it was just as crazy. I mean, I was pretty glad when I woke up.

Well, now that we're all here, does anyone want to tell me who spilled

buttermilk on the floor?

A simple confectioner will do.

You all right, Mike?

Yeah.

What happened?

Nothing.

Something just went down the wrong pipe.

I'm in big trouble.

And the tension's really building.

and Mike Seaver's coming up for his next turn.

It's almost midnight, Mike.

Can't we just call it a night?

What, and end all the fun?

I'm tired.

Me too.

Oh, come on.

Okay, here we go, Dad.

It's a movie.

Ben, what's the second word in every Godzilla movie?

Meet.

Right.

Godzilla meets Margaret Thatcher.

I'll give you a hint. It's Frankenstein. I'm going to bed.

Thanks, Otto.

Hey,

wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Hey, look, how about a game of Monopoly?

Now, there's the game. It's just fun for all ages.

Mike, we played Monopoly.

And we played Scrabble, Parcheesi, and Ball Tag.

I mean, there's a limit to how much fun a family can stand in one night.

And we passed it about two hours ago.

Killing Mike?

No, I think I'll get on the horn and see who's around.

At midnight?

Yeah, but I gave him Uncle Wiggly.

All right!

Sure don't want to talk about it for a minute?

No, no, there's really nothing to talk about, Dad.

Really.

Okay.

Good night.

Dad, what happens to people when they die?

This could take longer than a minute.

I think all night it's okay by me.

Okay.

Well...

Some people believe that when you die, you go to heaven or hell.

Some people believe that then you come back again to live on earth and the kind

of life you have then will depend on the kind of person you were.

Some people believe that you keep coming back in a higher form each time until

you reach the ultimate.

Professional basketball player?

Could be.

If you're not good, you come back as a lawyer.

Where do practical joking joggers fit in?

Hopefully pretty high.

Dad, I saw him.

You saw who?

Uncle Bob.

I mean, last night I was drinking buttermilk and he ran through the

like he was alive.

Maybe you were dreaming.

Dad, the buttermilk spilled, remember?

Yeah.

Was it possible or am I just losing my mind?

Could have been sleepwalking, Mike. You know, the imagination. I knew you would

say that.

Dad, do you believe in ghosts?

Well... I don't think so.

I believe that you believe that you saw Uncle Bob.

I did.

Dad, what did he want from me?

What did he say?

He said, hi, Mike.

Sounds pretty friendly.

Dad, I don't know what to do, and I know we'll be back.

Why don't you talk to him?

I should just have a chat with the dead guy?

Well, either that or we're going to be playing a lot of charades around here.

And you're already out of Godzilla movies.

I don't know.

Well, what's to be afraid of? You act like he's a bad guy and you know he

you.

Maybe he's changed.

Well, Mike, if you really believe that you've seen Uncle Bob, then you should

ask him what he wants.

You say stuff like this to your patient?

Yes.

And they give you money for this?

Well, it doesn't matter what I believe, Mike. What matters is that even if your

mind played a trick on you, it did it for a reason.

And the best way of discovering that reason is to ask.

Uncle Bob.

Or your image of him.

You understand?

Mm -hmm.

I couldn't just do this by mail?

Yeah, if you have the address.

Okay, I'm going to do it.

I'm going to go in there. I'm going to face my fear.

I'm going to be a man. I'm going to be a man.

I'm going to be a man. I'm going to be a... Starting tomorrow.

I'm going to be a man.

Be a man.

Be a man.

Be a man.

I'm in the kitchen.

I'm at the refrigerator.

Taking out the buttermilk.

It was a dream.

It didn't really happen.

There's no such thing as ghosts.

It was a man.

I faced it and it went away.

I'll never see Uncle Bob again.

Morning, Mike.

Mommy.

Hello, Mike.

Your man.

Gonna be your man.

Uncle Bob? What's up, Mike?

Nothing, nothing. Carry on.

Hey, what about that limbo contest?

Ten bucks.

Still says I can beat you, huh?

Look, what do you want from me? What do I want from you? I want your ten bucks,

right? Look, you can have twenty. I don't care. Anything you want. Just quit

haunting me. Haunting you?

I was just kidding you, Mike. Try to lighten up, huh?

Look, don't touch me.

Mike, don't take this wrong, but you're acting a little strange.

I'm acting strange?

Look, you're running a 10K in my kitchen and you're dead.

10K?

I'm what?

I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you.

Not half as sorry as I am to hear it.

You sure about this?

Yeah, I'm positive. I went to your funeral on Friday.

Oh.

Good funeral?

Yeah, good funeral. A lot of people can.

Dad cried.

Good old Jason, huh?

Hey. Hey, dude.

Did Jack Collard show up? He always said he was going to belly up before... What

am I saying?

What am I saying? I'm not dead. I'm alive.

Oh, you had me going for a minute.

See, I'm not getting my point across here. Look, Uncle Bob, what have you

doing for the last week?

Oh, I don't know.

Usual stuff, I guess.

Like what?

Well, like running and... Well, have you talked to anybody?

Yeah.

Who? Well, you, of course. Who else?

You know, that's crazy, but... I can't remember talking to anyone else this

but you.

Well, what do you remember?

Running, mostly.

Oh, boy, I had some good runs this week. Uncle Bob, don't you think it's a

little weird to spend a whole week doing nothing but running?

Yeah, that is weird, huh?

Real weird.

I just don't know why I didn't see it before.

I'm dead.

Seems simple enough now, huh?

I want to thank you, Michael.

Hey, don't mention it. It was something I thought you should know.

Well, I have to go now.

What, right now?

Yeah.

Uncle Bob, wait. We've passed my time.

Wait, Uncle Bob.

Yes, Michael?

Look, where are you going? I mean, you just can't leave me here like this.

Don't worry, Michael.

It's all right.

Really. No, it's not. I mean, I'm never going to see you again. You're just

leaving me. There's not a thing I can do about it, right?

Sure there is.

What?

Remember me?

What?

Remember me.

Remember the time your mom made sushi and we all dressed up in Japanese

Yeah, and you came as Godzilla.

I knew it was your favorite movie star.

Remember all the corny jokes we used to tell, huh? How do two porcupines make

love? Very carefully.

Remember the time I died in the den and you put whipped cream on my face?

Hey, I didn't know you were dead.

Wait a minute. If you were dead, how'd you know about the whipped cream?

I know a lot of things I didn't know before.

Mike, I'm sorry I always teased you and tried to embarrass you.

That's okay.

I mean, humiliation builds character.

There you go, then.

You see, I'm not leaving you.

I'm in your memory.

I'm in your character.

part of you.

Unless I'm already up there.

Morning,

Mike.

Did you sleep all right last night?

Yeah, no problem. I worked the whole thing out.

No more fears?

No, not this cowboy.

Great. All right, see you at breakfast.

Oh, come on, Mike. How many times do I have to tell you not to leave your

lying around?

Hey, Mom, this isn't my...
