At the hospital, the boys seek help from Dr. Philips, a medium (a parody of Zelda Rubinstein's character in "Poltergeist"), who explains the celebrities are trapped in purgatory, which she compares to being stuck on a plane that isn't quite ready to take off. Dr. Philips manages to contact the spirits and tell them that they have passed on. Surprisingly to her, the celebrities are all too acceptant of the fact, with the only exception being Michael Jackson. Two deceased celebrities, CBS News anchorman Walter Cronkite and Patrick Swayze, explain to Dr. Phillips that his refusal to acknowledge his death is the main cause of them being stuck. Some of the celebrities help Dr. Philips and the boys try to convince Jackson that he is dead, but Jackson keeps denying it and insists that people are ignorant and he is not only alive, but also a little white child. His denial is so strong that he emits a powerful force that kills Dr. Philips. The annoyed ghosts of these celebrities are shown in purgatory, which indeed does look like the interior of an airplane, minus the plane itself, complete with seats, flight attendants and pilot voice-over announcements.
