An air conditioner falls from a window and smashes onto the sidewalk, a man steps into the street to avoid it, a bus speeds by and the man disappears as his coat floats in the air.

A man lies dead in the street, a group of people stand around him and one woman cries, another man rushes forward and performs CPR while the man's ghost and several other ghosts watch; one of the ghosts vanishes in a ball of light.

A man walks through another man, indicating that the latter is a ghost; this same thing happens to another man who sees himself lying on the street while another man is performing CPR but we see later that he was revived.

A man in bed wakes to find the room full of ghosts asking for help, and he continues throughout the film to see and speak to ghosts (several ghosts vanish).

A man walks down a street and is frightened when he is addressed by people nobody else can see; a larger and larger crowd of people runs after him.

A man meets a woman's fiancé and tells a friend, "I want to run him over with his electric car, but she loves him."

A man sits alone at night on a park bench and says, "You live alone, you die alone, and apparently you stay alone."

A man and a young woman argue briefly about whether or not he can see ghosts.

A man talks about another man's nightmare (being lost in the woods at age 8 and unable to find the way home).

A man confronts his surgeon and demands to know if anything unusual happened during a procedure, and two hospital staff members tell him he died for about 7 minutes.

We see a mummy, which is discolored, shriveled and missing teeth, and a woman lectures an audience about mummification, stating that the Egyptians sucked the brain out the nose and removed internal organs to jars through a slit made in the side, and she leans over and takes a deep breath, saying that it is the pine resin she likes.

A man remarks about evidence of jaw decay and infection in a mummy, and we see a jar holding a mummified penis (the man looks and gasps, but we do not see anything).

A man sits beside a dog and gags five times at its bad breath; he and a friend walk the dog and he gags as the friend gathers dog excrement into a plastic bag (we see only a full bag); we later see the friend brushing the dogs' teeth.

A man pours a glassful of a liquid laxative that comes out in clumps, drinks one glass, gags several times, and he flatulates as he runs to the bathroom and shuts the door; when asked if the laxative worked, he says, "Wait 'til you get back there."

Several extreme close ups of dental instruments appear in the opening of the film, including a large syringe, a set of pliers, picks and mirrors, and we see close-ups of someone grinding dentures
