Neighbors Page #2

Synopsis: One man's quiet suburban life takes a sickening lurch for the worse when a young couple move into the deserted house next door. From the word go it is obvious these are not the quiet professional types who *should* be living in such a nice street. As more and more unbelievable events unfold, our hero starts to question his own sanity... and those of his family.

and make yourself at home.

I'll be right here.

Hi.

Took a bath. There's a dead rat

in our tub over there.

Vic said not to move it.

Took a pill. Moving always makes me

kind of hyper.

I hope you don't mind.

Yeah. Sure. I don't mind.

Oh, you do mind, don't you?

Vic's going out for Italian food.

You come down and join us

whenever you can, okay?

What are you so nervous about, Earl?

Afraid Vic will think you're up here...

...chewing me?

What are you doing? Robbing me?

Looking for a pencil to write down

what you want for supper.

You got a pencil in your hand.

$327. Is that all you had

at the end of last month?

That's none of your business.

Stay out of there, please.

- I just wanted to get the order right.

- Why don't we go downstairs.

Sure.

After you.

- So, what do you want?

- Make it simple.

Spaghetti, meatballs, a salad.

Whatever you want for you and...

What's not simple

is how I get to the restaurant.

- Use my car.

- Has it got a key or a rubber band...

...you wind up?

- Why don't I go with you.

Afraid I'll steal your car?

That's why I moved in next door?

So I could rip off your car

and move somewhere else?

- There you go.

- Back in a flash, pal.

Waffles are browning.

Always a thrilling sight.

Good news, Enid.

Italian food is on the way.

You arranged it?

Well, more or less.

I invited the neighbours.

Oh, you met them.

What did you think?

Earl?

They're...

...different.

I guess I'll go up and get dressed.

Upstairs?

What for?

You said they were coming over.

Well, they're not dressing.

They're barely dressed.

I mean, you could go

in the kitchen and set the table.

And turn the waffles off.

I'll be there in a minute to help you.

You got lots to do down here.

Yeah, there is something I forgot to do.

That's a boy.

You want some steak?

Don't tell me, you must be

our new neighbour. Come on in.

Thanks a lot.

Someone's stolen our truck...

...and I need to use the phone

to call the police.

Use the phone in the kitchen.

What a terrible thing, your first day.

It's even worse than just that.

Baby was in the back.

- Oh, my.

- Oh! Oh! Oh!

Vic. Your baby's drowning!

No chance.

Why should my dog be drowning?

Dog?

I thought "child."

We haven't any children.

Unless Ramona just pumped one out...

...and didn't tell me.

She calls the dog "Baby."

- She calls the dog "Baby"?

- Yeah. He's fine.

I just saw him around the back there.

When I drove up.

He's digging up something

in your flowerbed.

My flowerbed?

Hi, Enid.

Hi, Vic.

Oh, we met hours ago.

Earl here was worried about Baby.

Oh, he's no trouble at all.

He's a perfect gentleman.

- Leave him with me any time you want.
