Tell me, how's life at the old castle?

- Have you seen Miss Drake smile yet?

- Once.

She had no reason to smile at you, Alex.

The first time he meets her,

he asks if the place is haunted.

ls it?

Not according to her.

ALEX:
One of these nights,

we're gonna go to the Blue Whale.

l'll introduce you to a Captain Russell,

who'll tell a different story.

Seems there's a young, beautiful servant

girl who roams the halls of Collinwood.

lf she cleans well, we'll hire her.

CLAlRE:

lt's time for lunch.

Oh, what do you want?

Ham or tuna fish?

ALEX:
Both.

- The same.

Right.

So, my rich landlord who doesn't charge

rent, how's life in the old estate?

- When did you and Claire get here?

- Two weeks ago.

Man, l thought you

were never gonna show up.

Hey, pal, what's wrong?

Hey.

Bloodshot eyes, unsuitable pallor.

Well, doc, l didn't sleep well last night.

lt's a funny thing about this place,

l keep imagining things.

What do you mean, imagining things?

- Nothing. Forget it.

- Oh, man, maybe l can use it.

You know, Claire and l

are starting a new Gothic novel.

That reminds me, l got a library that's

got to be full of material. Be my guest.

l'd appreciate that.

Thank you.

[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR]

QUENTlN:

Carlotta.

l wanna start work today.

- Could you suggest a good room?

- Yes. l know just the place.

Wait a minute.

l got the strangest feeling

l've been here before.

How could you have been?

l couldn't have.

Does it still seem so familiar?

No.

l wouldn't worry about it

if l were you, Mr. Collins.

There's usually some logical explanation

for these feelings.

- Will the room do?

- Oh, yes. Yes, it's fine.

- lt's been used as a studio before,

hasn't it? - Yes, l believe it has.

Not in my time.

As long as she's here in this house,

l can't be happy.

Bring the painting to life, Charles.

Please.

Promise me.

[BANGlNG ON DOOR]

GABRlEL:

Charles?

l want to talk to my wife.

l know she's in there.

Now, open the door.

MAN 1:

More of your dreary moralizing?

GABRlEL:

Open the door!

MAN 1:

Try my patience, brother.

ANGELlQUE:

Let him in.

l've come for my wife, Charles.

Little brother's suddenly become a man.

Will you take the credit

for that, my dear?

- Have you lost your mind?

- No.

- Stop.

- You touch her, and l'll kill you.

Don't any of you touch me.

l'll come with you,

but don't any of you touch me.

MAN 2:

Come with us, Angelique Collins.

ANGELlQUE:
As long as she's

in this house, l can't be happy.

Bring the painting to life.

Please.

CARLOTTA:

Oh, Mr. Collins, you startled me.

l was just straightening up the room.

l saw a little girl standing here

by the window.

- A little girl?
