ROGER ELLIS

30s

Lawyer Roger Ellis (30s) arrives at Mrs. Mendelson’s (90s) door with a document from her husband, Julius,
demanding she stop contacting him.
Imagine John’s surprise when he learns Julius is dead.
Seems that Julius, wanting to teach his wife a lesson, and arranged this legal action before he died.
And Roger’s coworkers, knowing he has a personal hatred of mediums, gave him this job as a joke.
It would all be so simple if Mrs. Mendelson agreed to stop contacting Julius.
But she won’t because she doesn’t know how to program her VDR to record programs in advance.
So Roger has to return the next day, with another legal document.
Which is when he’s told that Mrs. Mendelson’s is talking not only to Julius, but also Roger’s dead mother.
“Who, by the way, wants to know did you ever marry that nice girl you were seeing? Yvette.”
Roger knows Mrs. Mendelson can’t be in contact with the dead.
Then why, each time he returns with yet another legal document, does she know more and more about his childhood?
