John assures them that he is ready to die. Even earlier in the film, John tells them that he's never seen a "flicker show", so a projector is set up and he is allowed to watch the Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers film ''Top Hat''.}}

** {{spoiler|Seeing ''Top Hat'' in his old age is enough to spook Edgecomb into telling his story to Elaine.}}
