House at the End of the Street

---

Oh, no worries. Moms are like that.

I'm sure you're really a total loser.

(CHUCKLES)

- Do you want to go for a swim?

- No. it's fine. I'll watch.

All right.

- Whoo!

- (CHILDREN SCREAM)

- BOY:
Marco!

- GIRL:
Polo!

- Marco!

- Polo!

- WOMAN:
So, how are you settling in?

- SARAH:
Good. Good.

MAN:
Have you met your next-door

neighbor, Ryan Jacobson, yet?

No, is he coming today?

The Jacobson boy

pretty much keeps to himself.

WOMAN:
Thank God.

Somebody should burn that house down.

- Jenny!

- JENNY:
What?

I didn't say

Ryan Jacobson had to be in it.

But come on.

Why is that kid still living there?

He's driven down all our home values.

The town tried to buy the house

and we were going to tear it down

and donate the land to the state park.

- What exactly happened again?

- SARAH:
I told you, remember?

The daughter, Carrie Anne,

killed both her parents.

Yeah, that I know, but where was Ryan?

He didn't live with them,

he stayed with an aunt upstate.

And what happened to Carrie Anne

after they got killed?

Well, there was a massive search,

but she drowned in the dam.

But they never found her body,

so some people think

she still lives in the woods.

- What?!

- WOMAN:
Tyler... Just ignore him.

- it's just an urban legend.

- Or is it, Mom? Is it?

WOMAN:
No, no. There's no way...

TYLER:
I'm telling you,

she lives in the woods.

SARAH:
Did that freak you out,

what they were saying back there?

Yes. Our neighbors are jerks.

"Let's light his house on fire"?

Real nice. Wonder where they keep

the torches and pitchforks?

Really.

I thought that kid Tyler was OK.

Mm... Jury's still out, but maybe.

Do you think somebody

could actually live out there?

No. No, definitely not.

(TWIG SNAPS)

Hey, come on.

Wouldn't it be sweet?

If you could be in love with me?
