Shelly!
They pried it out of me.
Okay, all right, sure,
he can come back.
And, uh, true, even if he doesn't,
we still have Dave.
But I'd like to take
a little time now...
to-to pay our respects to Joel
while we know we still can.
Anyone? Ruth-Anne?
When I remember Dr. Fleischman, I-
Wait a minute!
She has one stupid dream,
and-and that's it? I'm history?
Well, Joel, you were wearing
the fedora.
Well, I-I just think that
Dr. Fleischman is a fine doctor
and a very interesting person.
And I feel really bad about
Elaine breaking up with him.
I can't help but think
had she known about the plane wreck,
she might have gone ahead
and waited until he was dead.
I think that would have been
the tactful way to handle it.
Marilyn?
He taught me how to use
the hold button.
I always wanted to be
at my own funeral.
This way, you can see
what people thought about you.
Anyone else?
Shelly?
Dr. Fleischman is sweet and kind
and gentle and honest.
He's a good doctor.
And he was a real friend to me
when I thought I was pregnant...
and when I discovered I wasn't.
And besides all that, he's ethnic,
which is kind of cool.
- And he's cute.
- Cute? Yeah? You think so?
- Very cute.
- Wouldn't go that far.
- I would.
- I find him attractive.
All I'm saying is, I can see why
Maggie's had dreams about him.
Dream. Singular.
One dream!
Hey, you stop lookin'
at me like that.
Look, you guys are the ones
that said he was cute.
I never said he was cute!
You know, I've been having
some serious thoughts lately
about that winged chariot- time.
Sooner or later,
it sweeps us all away.
I know that, Maurice.
Well, this boy
might be swept away tomorrow.
He might go off on that rocket ship
to the hereafter.
A man likes sweet words from a woman
when he's about to go into the beyond.
It bucks him up.
All right, have it your own way!
But, remember,
you may never see him again.
? I'm a little teapot, short and stout?
? Here is my handle
Here is my spout?
? When I get all steamed up?
? Then I shout?
?Just tip me over and pour me out ##
All right. Okay.
Oh, sorry.
I was just cheering them up
after their tetanus boosters.
Well, don't stop anything
on account of me.
Oh.
That's okay.
It's almost dinnertime.
This is Grandpa Jim.
He's dead.
Oh. Well,
he-he looks very nice.
If you see him,
tell him Grandma's only marrying
Mr. Skinner for his microwave.
Well, Joel,
I've gotta hit the road too.
I just dropped by for a sec
to bring some oatmeal cookies
that I baked for Dave.
Mmm, oatmeal.
My favorite.
You baked him oatmeal cookies?
Mm-hmm.
Bye, Dave.
Bye.
I brought you something.
What-What are you trying to tell me?
I should paddle to New York?
It's to ease your journey
to the other side.
Okay. Okay.
You win.
I'm spooked.
I admit it.
I am officially unsettled.
I give up. It's not worth it.
I have my pride, but I'll be damned
if I'm gonna die for it.
What'd the airline say?
Can I use my frequent flyer ticket
for the 6:00 a.m. flight?
It's a extra $600.
$600?
Yeah, over my dead body.
Okay, damn it.
Watch me sleep.
Huh?
All that stuff I was sayin;..
about winged chariots got to me.
It was creepy, and damned moving.
And I decided if it was
that important to, uh-
Well, you know who I'm talking about.
You can check me
for sleep whats is tonight.
Are we talking, uh, sleep apnea here?
Yeah.
I did a study on sleep apnea.
It's sort of a hobby of mine.
You know, it's often a misdiagnosis-
Forget it, Ginsberg.
Maurice is my patient.
I'll make his diagnosis.
"All at once
he was through max G,
"as if through a turbulent straight,
and the trajectory was smooth,
and he was supersonic,
and the pressure in his chest
reached six G's.''
I mean, Proust, HenryJames,
those guys could put me to sleep.
But The Right Stuff?.
Shh!
This is the best part coming up here.
"The rocket pitched down,
and in a moment, there it was.
And his body slammed forward
as if
