Family Possessions Page #3

---

it's an all-ages establishment.

My dad owns these buildings.

-Can I get an application?

-Application?

No, no. You don't-- you don't

need a stinking application.

-You're funny.

So you just moved to town?

Uh, yeah, I'm planning

on attending the university

next semester.

Oh, so you moved here

for school?

Uh, not exactly.

Why'd you move here then?

Um, my grandmother was

in a nursing home here.

She passed a few months back.

So, my family moved

into her house.

She left it to me in her will.

Hmm, that's kinda strange,

isn't it?

She didn't have a husband

to leave it to or kids?

-Which would be your--

-Oh, my dad. My dad's her son...

and I don't-- I don't think

they got along very well.

And then my grandfather died

when my dad was just a baby,

so...

You know, honestly,

I don't remember that much

about my grandmother.

I just remember my parents

had me write her letters

when she was

in the nursing home.

Where's your new house?

-Oh, it's, um--

Rachel, do you want me to get us

a couple coffees?

No, thanks. I'm-- I'm good.

It's a good thing you wrote

those letters [CHUCKLES]

'cause you just won

the showcase showdown.

A new house.

Yeah, I didn't really do it

to get in her will or anything.

At first I just did it

because my parents made me,

but after a while it became

like a therapy or going

to confessional or something.

What do you mean?

I could write to her

about anything.

I told her things I've

never told anybody before...

and then as I got older

I realized how lonely

she must be, so I just did it

to give her something

to look forward to.

You know, we lived so far away

and didn't really have

much money to travel,

otherwise we could have

visited more, I guess.

Would you want to go next door,

check out the club?

Yeah, why not?

Have you finished

that application yet?

-Yeah, here you go--

-I'll take that.

I'll take that.

Don't snatch, snatch.

-Rachel Dunn.

-Yeah.

And this is your address,

the old Dunn house?

Yeah, my grandmother

was Albertha Dunn.

-Why?

This makes perfect sense now.

No wonder you're hanging out

with a loser like Saggie.

Come on, Rachel. Let's get out

of here.

-Let's get out of here.

-RACHEL:
No, what?

This is classic. I am dead.

Officially.

Maggie! Maggie, what the f***?

I just had to get you out

of there before she said--

-Before she said what?

-About your grandmother.

What about my grandmother?

I assumed you knew

but after what you said

about writing her those letters.

Okay, okay, listen. You have got

to tell me what's going on.

Come to my house. We need

to talk.

Okay.

Okay, so this is strange.

How do I begin?

RACHEL:
Just talk.
