Do You Like My Basement Page #3

What's the matter Stan, eh?

Ben didn't mean that.

I was only kidding, matey.

They didn't really do that.

Look, do you wanna

have a go, eh?

Be the cameraman?

I wonder if he's ever seen

a video camera before.

With that lot, you're kidding.

Yes, it's me.

Your Auntie Helen.

Film something

else now, Stanley.

Look at all the boats

out there.

Okay, that's enough now.

Oh, leave him be.

It's probably the most fun thing

he's done in his whole life.

So you can juggle

and fence among other things.

And you can do

a BBC British accent?

Yes!

It's probably not

as good as yours.

So this is the basement

where it everything happens?

Yes.

And you're not going

to kill me at all?

That's correct.

Not going to lock me up

and throw away the key?

Nope.

Okay.

Sylvia, tell me.

What attracts you to

a role in which

you will be tortured and

subject to discomfort, pain,

psychological terror

and real fear?

I love horror.

I love it...

Always have.

On my first sleepover ever,

we watched "Halloween"

and almost wet ourselves.

And do you think watching

that kind of film

makes you capable of

producing real fear?

Well, I think I've studied

fear enough dramatically

and know how to convey it.

That's exactly what

I am getting at.

You see, I think studied and

replicated fear doesn't sell.

What I'm looking for

is real fear...

Hmm.

Well, I can only show you

what I have in my repertoire,

I'm afraid.

But I'm willing

to try everything!

You have a great attitude.

So how do you feel about being

handcuffed to this hook here?

Ahh, you see, you already

have the perfect expression

of real fear on your face now.

Do you see what

I am getting at?

Oh, my God, yes.

This is exactly what my mother

and many therapists

warned me about.

Don't go into the basement

alone with a stranger.

And most importantly, don't

let that stranger tie you

to the beams in the basement.

Jesus Christ.

If you try and kill me, I'm

gonna be so upset with myself.

And you.

I mean, you have that

wonderful English accent.

I mean, you eat crumpets for

breakfast and drink tea at 4:00.

You couldn't hurt

me if you tried.

Could you?

I couldn't have

put it better myself.

Shall we?

If you'd be so kind.

Why, they could have

been made for you.

There, you already have the

perfectly frightened expression.

Okay.

So Silvia, now, is

there anything specific

you're particularly afraid of?

Well... I guess

being alone and helpless

with some sort of maniac.

Something like

this but in the dark.

So,

let's see how you convey that on screen.

How do you mean?

Stanley!

Stanley, where are you going?

Hello?

Hello, Stanley?
