House of Bones Page #2

---

Aw, man. What do you think

they were thinking with that one?

Extreme Makeover,

Haunted House Edition.

Yeah, that's not even funny.

I told them to leave it

exactly the way that it is.

It's the grimmer, the better.

Maybe we use it.

The house did it.

Quentin could sell it.

If he shows up.

You think he'll show up?

I don't think he's got

much of a choice.

You're right.

Oh, no key.

The Realtor will

be here any minute.

Dude. You really think

we need a key?

Right.

Freaky.

Boo-yah.

After you, Tombo.

House paints house.

House lets us in.

House feeds guests.

Whoa.

Now that's what

I call hospitality.

What else this house do?

- Hi, I'm Sarah. Nice to meet you.

- From the bank.

Yeah, yeah.

You listening? All right.

Tommy thinks

you're late, but, uh...

How did you open

the gate without a key?

We thought you

left it open for us.

You guys were not given permission

to stay here tonight.

- It's okay.

- It's not okay.

Where is Tom?

He's around back.

All right.

So?

First impressions?

Not as creepy as that sanitarium

in Santa Mira, but...

nothing that a smoke machine

and backlighting won't fix.

Me likey.

We'll set up in here.

This was not our arrangement.

You cannot stay here.

Okay, look, Sarah.

Tom's going to straighten

all this out...

The bank carries

a liability in this place.

You're permitted to film here

a few hours tomorrow,

not tonight.

- You're not covered.

- Great. Um...

Dude, should I just

put it in the car?

What... Uh...

- You're late.

- You're early.

Unpack the stuff by the fireplace.

- Wait.

- Contract issues.

- Okay, you know what?

- Okay, listen, listen.

Everything's gonna

be fine, kid, okay?

I'm just... I'm calling the bank.

On a Saturday?

Your supervisor must

really love her job.

Five daytime hours.

- That is what we agreed to.

- Okay...

Underline it.

Understand daytime.

You can scout today,

shoot tomorrow. That's it.

I understand, but we like

to shoot at night.

It's spookier.

We're offering you

national TV exposure here.

Millions of viewers.

Either you want to sell

this house, or you don't.

I'm starting to feel like

I'm doing your job here.

- Really?

- Whoa, whoa.

I'm sorry.

I still didn't catch your name.

And I'm not gonna get it. Wow.

Look, I'm sorry, okay?

He's being a jerk, all right?

- Really?

- I have to deal with it all the time, okay?

But look, I don't mean to put you

in a bad spot. We don't.

It's just easier for us

if we shoot at night. Okay?

- You have no idea, do you?

- Actually, we do.

We've done 48 shows

just like this, okay?

We control the horizontal

and the vertical.

The house is what we make it.

Well, I hope you're right.
