  We study a two-dimensional superconductor in close proximity to a
two-dimensional metallic sheet. The electrons in the superconducting sheet are
coupled to those in the metallic sheet by the Coulomb interaction only. We
obtain an effective phase-only action for the superconductor by integrating out
all the electronic degrees of freedom in the problem. The Coulomb drag of the
normal electrons in the metallic sheet is found to make the spectrum of
phase-fluctuations in the superconductor, dissipative at long wavelengths. The
dissipative co-efficient $\eta$ is shown to be simply related to the normal
state conductivities of the superconducting layer ($\sigma_S$)and the metallic
sheet ($\sigma_E$) by the relation $\eta \propto {\sigma_S\sigma_E\over
\sigma_S+\sigma_E}$.
