Reclusion

---

Night light, night bright,

shine for me

with all your might.

Night light, night bright,

watch over me

'til morning sight.

You'll be safer here,

Mr. scribbles.

What's going on in here?

Something's in my room.

Oh, Elinore...

We should wake up daddy.

No, you know he has

to work early tomorrow.

Sweetie, we can't

do this tonight, okay?

There's something here.

There's nothing here.

Don't you remember

what the doctor said?

There's no such thing as ghosts.

The doctor's full of sh*t,

wake up daddy!

Okay.

Show me. Where?

All right, let me

see the flashlight.

Elinore, I don't see anything.

Hey, what happened

to Mr. scribbles?

Elinore, did you take my brush?

Oh!

Elinore, help me!

Elinore! Elinore!

Daddy, daddy, wake up!

Well, fancy meeting

you here, man.

I was beginning to think

that you were flaking...

Tim?

Tim?

Hey, Tim, I didn't

mean to scare ya.

Okay.

I'll come back later.

You have reached

the office of Dr. Piccault.

No one is available to take

your call at the moment.

If this is an emergency,

please hang up and dial 9-1-1.

Otherwise, leave a message and we'll

be in touch as soon as we can.

Thank you and have a good day.

No, no, oh...

Hey!

Twice in one week,

I might have to call CNN.

Yeah, so I was wondering

where that was.

I'm just gonna go knock it

out now, if that's okay?

So, I guess you can just give

it to me since I'm here.

You know, I got

a couple minutes.

Why don't you just

tell me what's on it?

Well, it's the beginning

of the week, um,

so let me guess.

I'm gonna go with TP,

ultra soft of course...

And...

Mouthwash.

Okay.

Uh...

It was nice talking to you too,

and we should definitely do

this again when I get back.

Thank you.

Yes?

You can't hide anymore.

Excuse me, who is this?

We regret to inform you,

you have 45 days to vacate.

How do you know that?

What's going to happen when

you have to go outside again?

Nothing.

Nothing never happens.

Something bad always does.

Not this time.

I can do it. That's

not what she thinks.

Who?

Turn around.

Carri?

Ask her what's going to happen.

No.

Leave me alone.

You are, but not for long.

Tim?

It's Mary, can you hear me?

Tim?

Mary?

Yes, couldn't you hear me?

Uh, no, no, I didn't.

Strange, I could hear you.

Sorry, I thought it was a prank.

Is everything okay?

Dr. Piccault missed

the appointment today.

I know, I'm sorry

I couldn't call you sooner.

There's no easy way

to say this...

Dr. Piccault

had an accident.

Accident, what kind of accident?

Tim, I need you to stay calm.

It's okay if you want

to take some medication.

Is he going to be okay?

Well, we're not sure

at this point.

You've been transferred to a

new doctor for the time being.

New doctor, no, no, no, I can't.

Tim, we just want you

to be calm.

Can you do that,

or should I send some help?

Tim...

Tim?

No, you don't need

to send anyone.

What's important is that we have

a new doctor for you, okay?

What's his name?

Dr. Sephton.

But I don't know him.

Dr. Piccault has worked

with him before, he's excellent.

His office is going to call you,

but I wanted you

to hear it from me first.

Sure, okay.

Oh, wake up, man,

please don't be dead.

Tim!

Whoa, how did you get in here?

I came back with the thing,

and the thing is like this, and

you're laying here not breathing!

Man, I was gonna call 9-1-1!

Excuse me, I have to...

Would you mind

locking up when you leave?

Oh, sorry, I didn't

mean to snoop.

Um, I should probably get going.

I forgot to, uh,

give you your money.

Oh... deliveries on me,

get me next week.

Do you need any...

Any help?

I mean, with the letter.

No, thank you, though.

How long have you lived here?

Almost 20 years.

And when was the last time you,

like, went past that door?

Thirteen months.

Do you miss the outside

world, just a little?

I can see it from here.

Do you ever get lonely?

No.

I would.

I mean, I don't think we're

supposed to be alone.

Do you?

All right, well,

I'll see you next week.

We're sorry, please

consult your directory and dial again.

Tim?

Hey, hey, hey it's Nick.

Tim.

Tim, it's Nick.

Earthquake?

Yeah, what did

you think that was?

That can't be right.

Why... why not?

Did you see anybody else?

Do you mean besides me and you?

No I, I thought I heard

something, like growling, but...

Oh, yeah, Brett's dog got loose.

Brett's your neighbor and he

can't keep his dog on a leash.

Dog?

Yeah.

I'm not crazy.

Oh, no. Who's saying

anything about crazy?

A little buzzed up, maybe.

Did you, uh, open this tonight?

I had one glass.

Well, I don't think the

bottle would re-seal itself

after the, uh,

the wine leaked out.

Look, man, I'm not

passing judgment.

If I was you

and I got that letter,

I'd be pretty freaked out too.

Oh, there you go.

Well, I guess

I'm gonna head out, um...

You're okay, right?

Yeah.

I could use some help.

I mean, with the letter.

If you haven't found anything

better to do with your free time.

How do you feel about

having some company over?

You know, Joan, I'm glad you

talked me into helping with him.

You ready to head to his place?

Shouldn't you be helping me?

Okay, I'm here, let's just

talk about this for a second.

I think I took it out too soon.

You didn't.

What if he has allergies?

He doesn't.

What if he doesn't like it?

He will.

What if he doesn't like me?
