I see dead people



COLE
...I see people.

Malcolm just gazes quietly.

COLE
I see dead people... Some of them
scare me.

Beat.

MALCOLM
In your dreams?

Cole shakes his head, "No."

MALCOLM
When you're awake?

Cole nods, "Yes."

MALCOLM
Dead people, like in graves and
coffins?

COLE
No, walking around, like regular
people... They can't see each
other. Some of them don't know
they're dead.

MALCOLM
They don't know they're dead?

Beat.

COLE
I see ghosts.

Malcolm becomes completely motionless. Works to hide his shock.
He and Cole stare at each other a long time.

COLE
They tell me stories... Things
that happened to them... Things
that happened to people they know.

Beat. Malcolm's words are extra-controlled. Revealing nothing.

MALCOLM
How often do you see them?

COLE
All the time. They're everywhere.
