The Good Neighbor Page #2

---

For lack of a better title.

Yeah, for lack of a much

better title.

All right, seriously, and you

guys can just do all that...

Stuff from this room?

It's brilliant, actually,

I mean...

I don't think that anybody

has ever done...

Anything quite like this.

Except that they have.

Okay, explain.

Um, okay, how about a million

movies and TV shows?

I mean, like scare tactics,

paranormal whatever...

It's the same sh*t.

Ashley, I... I don't think you

fully understand...

The scope of the project.

I mean, we're not punking

somebody here.

We're driving them to question

their own beliefs.

I mean, this is real, right?

Only it's not real, it's

bullshit.

No, Sean, help her out, okay?

Give her the scoop.

What you're talking about

is fiction...

What people think people

would do...

When confronted by a

supernatural presence.

Set up cameras,

call a psychic...

But would anyone actually

do that?

Short of an actual ghost

being in the house...

This is as real as it gets.

Come on, every great filmmaker

takes their own next step.

And this is my next step.

So, you're gonna torture some

poor old man...

That's the next step?

Ashley, the fact that you just

said that proves to me...

That you have no idea

who Grainey is.

Okay, well, what does that mean?

It means Harold Grainey

is an a**hole.

Yeah, he's a psychopath.

He's bat-sh*t crazy.

I mean, he beat his wife

until she left.

Yeah, and now he just sits

in the house all day...

Drinking himself to death.

Yelling at anybody who

bothers him.

What, because he doesn't let

kids in his yard...

You're gonna scare an old man

half to death?

Trust me, he deserves it.

Why?

I'm not gonna get into it.

But there's other sh*t, too.

He used to call the cops on us

all the time, even as kids.

And didn't he poison the

Lindeman's dog?

Yes, yes, he did.

And he watches people.

Yeah, he is an old, miserable,

wife-beating, dog-killing...

Drunk sack of sh*t.

I mean, I for one, am not gonna

lose any sleep over this.

Well, what do you mean he

watches people?

I mean, he watches people,

the neighbors.

He just stands in the window

and stares at them.

Yeah, it's creepy.

Even at night, when you

can see him.

Harold Grainey's a freak. He's

probably watching us right now.

F*** you.

I'm serious!

Ten bucks says Grainey

is watching us right now.

We can see it right here

on the Th...

You guys!

No, come on!

Look, take a look.

Take a look.

Get on over there.

Okay, so you see that beige

house right there by Sanjay's?

Okay, look up in the top

left window.

Right there, do you see that?

The shadow?

I don't see anything.

No, babe, behind the curtain?

Look closer... closer.
