Bad Apples Page #2

---

Wow, is it?

Lady, you're oblivious.

Are you not aware of

your surroundings?

Forgive me.

Are you gonna rinse that?

Eventually.

I'm gonna head to the

supermarket we saw

on the way into town.

There's a supermarket

on the way into town?

Oblivious.

Robert, we just have so

much to do around here.

We don't need to waste

our time decorating.

I'm gonna cut you off there.

We totally can waste

time decorating.

It's the best part

of being an adult.

You get to pick and choose

when to be responsible.

And, plus, I'm not even

saying we whole hog it.

I'm simply suggesting

that we carve a silly face

into a pumpkin to

help center us.

I'm centered.

You're also a liar, not

a very convincing one,

but a liar nonetheless.

Fine, get your stupid pumpkin.

But, no candy.

I prefer not to have to

field a myriad of knocks

from expectant hungry

kids all night.

God, you're lame.

I have sh*t to do, understand?

I need keys.

[Ella] Pivot your head

a little to your right.

Really?

That's the first

thing you unpack.

Organization, that's

what this place needs.

Well, it also needs a pumpkin.

Have fun unpacking.

Thanks.

(Ella sighs)

Rinsing.

Accomplishment.

(bird chirping)

It's gonna be a long day.

(sighs)

(somber music)

(loud knocking)

Who is it?

[Mrs. Dekker] Woo hoo.

Hi, it's Mrs. Dekker.

I'm your neighbor next door.

I wanted to welcome you

to the neighborhood.

Weirdo.

Well, that's a bad idea,

if ever I've seen one.

What is?

Well, I didn't hear

you unlock the door,

which leads me to believe

that you didn't lock it.

Which is a very bad idea.

Sorry.

Oh no, don't be sorry to me.

Be sorry to your

future terrorized self.

(laughs)

I baked you a pie.

Oh, that's very kind of you.

It's got Halloween theme

and little bite-sized

goodies in it.

(giggles)

Thank you.

You are so welcome.

Uh, did you wanna come in?

Oh no, no, I've been

in that whole house

many, many times.

No snooping notions for

this old hag (laughs).

No, I just, I really just

wanted to welcome you

to the neighborhood and to

give you a little

word of warning.

Oh, if it's about

locking the door,

just consider that noted.

My husband just left.

No, it's a word of warning

about the neighborhood.

You see, you being new and

it's such a nice street.

It looks like it was ripped

out of a Rockwell painting,

but there is one bad apple.

His name is Samuel and

he is a sex offender.

I figured since you're

new that you didn't get

that whole door-to-door

admission of guilt thing.

Yeah.

[Ella] Yeah, no, thank

you for telling me.

Yeah, he worked over at the

elementary school on Madison.

And, you know where Madison is?

No, I can't say that I do.
