The Sixth Sense M. Night Shyamalan Lynn looks over slowly. She doesn't see anything outside his window. She eyes Cole. LYNN Cole, you're scaring me. COLE They scare me too sometimes. LYNN They? COLE Dead people. LYNN Dead people? COLE Ghosts. Beat. LYNN You see ghosts, Cole? COLE They want me to do things for them. LYNN They talk to you? Cole nods, "Yes." LYNN They tell you to do things? Cole nods "Yes" again. Lynn becomes upset. She nods with grave understanding. Cole watches her. COLE What are you thinking, Momma? LYNN ...I don't know. COLE You think I'm a freak? Lynn's eyes moves to Cole. LYNN Look at my face. Cole gazes at her intense expression. LYNN I would never think that about you... ever... Got it? COLE Got it. BEAT. Cole smiles a tiny smile. Lynn glances down. LYNN Just let me think for a second. She drowns in her thoughts. Beat. COLE Grandma says hi. Lynn looks up sharply. COLE She says she's sorry for taking the bumble bee pendant. She just likes it a lot. LYNN What? COLE Grandma comes to visit me sometimes. Lynn becomes still. Her face is unreadable. When she speaks, her words are extremely controlled. LYNN Cole, that's very wrong. Grandma's gone. You know that. COLE I know. Beat. COLE She wanted me to tell you-- LYNN (soft) Cole, please stop. COLE She wanted me to tell you, she saw you dance. Lynn's eyes lock on Cole's. COLE She said when you were little, you and her had a fight right before your dance recital. You thought she didn't come to see you dance. She did. Lynn brings her hands to her mouth. COLE She hid in the back so you wouldn't see... She said you were like an angel. Lynn begins to cry. COLE She said, you came to her where they buried her. Asked her a question... She said the answer is "Everyday." Lynn covers her face with her hands. The tears roll out through her fingers. COLE (whispers) What did you ask? Beat. Lynn looks at her son. She barely gets the words out. LYNN (crying) Do I make her proud? Cole moves closer to Lynn. She cradles him in her arms. Mother and son hold each other tight. https://youtu.be/3qqVQcZxpqA This scene never fails to touch me, probably because of my own grandmother.

From Practical Magic: SALLY: It was the curse, wasn’t it? He died because I loved him so much! AUNT FRANCES: Oh, my poor little girl. We had no idea when we cast the spell. SALLY: What spell? What are you talking about? Ohhh. Oh, you didn’t. You didn’t. Please tell me that my own flesh and blood— AUNT JET: It was just a little push. You wanted so much to be happy. AUNT FRANCES: We never expected that you would truly love him. SALLY: Well, I did. And I want him back. You brought him into my life. Now I want you to bring him back. Bring him back. I have never asked you for anything. I’ve never asked you for spells, but do this. I know you can, I know you can bring him back. AUNT JET: No, dear. We won’t do that. AUNT FRANCES: We don’t do that. SALLY: But you can. You can do this. I know you can. I remember. I found it here when Mommy and Daddy died. AUNT FRANCES: Even if we did bring him back, it wouldn’t be Michael. It would be something else, something dark and unnatural. SALLY: I don’t care what he comes back as – as long as he comes back. Please do this for me? Please? Please? Please? Please? I'll include a link (the only one I could find), but it's a clip recorded off someone's TV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NllePbNaQIc
