第六感生死缘Meet Joe Black Movie Script

PARRISH:

Joe, could I ask you to take a walk? Buy a tie or something. I know I'll be seeing you.

JOE:

Of course. But Joe doesn't move.

PARRISH:

(prompting) Now I'd like to be alone.

JOE:

Oh. Okay. Parrish reaches into his pocket and hands Joe some cash.

PARRISH:

Here -- this will hold you for a while. Joe stares at the money as Parrish shows him the door. PARRISH (cont'd) You know about money, don't you?

JOE:

It can't buy happiness? Parrish opens the door.

PARRISH:

Jennifer, give Mr. Black a map of the city.

JOE:

No thank you, Bill. I can manage. Joe goes. INT. EMERGENCY ROOM AREA, NEW YORK HOSPITAL - DAY Susan is busy giving instructions to a Nurse, a patient on an examining table beside them. As she finishes, she suddenly notices Joe down the corridor in the reception area. She is startled for the moment, quickly makes a last notation, hands a chart to the Nurse and heads down the corridor.

SUSAN:

Joe --

JOE:

How nice you look. Is that your uniform? Susan regards him.

SUSAN:

Why did you come here? Joe doesn't have an answer. SUSAN (cont'd) Are you ill?

JOE:

Oh goodness, no.

SUSAN:

Then why are you here, Joe?

JOE:

I came to see you.

SUSAN:

I don't have any time to see you now. I'm doing grand rounds and then I'm examining back-to-back patients until dinner and then --

JOE:

Very well, I'll watch.

SUSAN:

Watch me do what?

JOE:

Whatever you do.

SUSAN:

That's impossible. I'm a doctor, I'm --

JOE:

And I'll be a visitor.

SUSAN:

Patients have visitors, not doctors.

JOE:

I don't mind -- Visible now behind them are a Caribbean woman in her mid- thirties, TEENA, an arm around her mother, EASTER, who is holding her stomach and rocking back and forth in her seat, in great pain.

TEENA:

(urgently) Miss? Miss Doctor?

SUSAN:

(gently) Just a minute, please.

TEENA:

Please. My momma's sicker'n he is. Easter looks up and sees Joe. She abruptly becomes still, eyes wide, as if sudden recognition.
