I'll just come by later.

Okay.

I didn't know if I'd

ever see you again.

It's so good to see you.

Yeah, it's good

to see you, too.

I'll see you later.

You know, I do remember you.

How could you forget?

SOPHIA:
See you later.

PETER:
John, if you care so

much about the way it's done,

you can do it yourself, okay?

Just do it yourself.

JOHN:
Just trying

to be helpful.

You're an a**hole.

What? What did I do now? Sorry.

I gotta get out of here, Sarah.

Whoops.

Can I have the keys

to my car, please?

Uh...

You know where they are.

Give me the keys.

When you're done with

your temper tantrums,

see if you can get the electrician

on the phone, please.

That would be awesome.

If he could come out here,

we could use his

needle nose pliers

to get that stick

out of your ass.

(SNICKERS)

What was that?

I love you, brother.

(DOOR SHUTS)

I don't know why my brother always

has to make everything so difficult.

Yeah, when he doesn't do

what you want him to.

Exactly. You see, if everyone

would just do what I say,

we wouldn't have any

problems, would we?

Uh-huh.

Do you need any

help down there?

No, it's okay.

Okay.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

(KNOCKING CONTINUES)

(THUDDING)

(CREAKING)

Hey. What are you doing?

I just thought

I heard something upstairs.

It's probably the damn rats.

God, don't remind me.

No, it sounded like

someone was up there.

Maybe it's your uncle.

No, his car's not here.

(LAUGHS) I know how

you think, sweetie.

Would you like me to go

upstairs and have a look?

Yeah. Okay.

Wait! I'm gonna come with you.

Jesus!

L get you?

Yeah, you did and that hurt.

I'm sorry.

(SCOFFS)

What, you're trying

to be funny?

A little bit.

What's that?

Uh, it's just...

It's just nothing.

It's photographs for the insurance.

I don't know why your uncle just

leaves things laying around like this.

Ridiculous.

Sorry.

Honey, you're gonna really have to start

making some progress in this room.

You haven't even started

on this closet.

Most of it isn't mine.

So what?

It's just gonna stay here?

What are you doing in here?

I don't know if you got the fact that

we're packing it up to get out...

Yes, I do understand that.

That box is completely empty.

(SIGHS)

If your cousins

don't wanna help out,

just keep what you want.

Throw everything else out.

Okay.

At least that's empty.

Right, but what

about the noise?

Honey, it's an old house.

They make noises.

I'm sure it's nothing.

But I'll keep

looking around, okay?

Thank you.

I want you to sit down,

go through that stuff,

and start throwing things away.

I want to come back here

and see full garbage bags.

All right. You hear me?

Yes.

All right. I'll be right back.
