The Open House Page #2

---

Okay.

Honey, are you sure you don't want to keep

that stuff in my room?

No, no, it's okay.

Okay.

Well, I'm gonna head to bed.

Love you.

[CAR DRIVES AWAY]

Who are you?

What are you doing on our property?

Ma'am?

What do you want?

Ma'am, this is our house.

- Do you need help?

- No!

Oh, God!

[CRIES IN DISTRESS]

[INHALES]

[EXHALES]

You need to get up right now.

The open house is starting in 15 minutes.

Ed, come on.You gotta get

the sign-in sheet out of the car.

- You kidding me?

- The open house ends at five.

Ed is gonna be running the show today,

which means he will turn off

all the lights, he'll lock up.

And Ed, don't forget

to leave the key under the mat.

Got it.

Oh, okay.

- And do I need to do...

- Oh, God, no, no.

You don't have to do a thing,

except one:

Do not come back here until after five,

because we do not want to upset

any potential buyers.

- Mom, why didn't you wake me up?

- Oh, sorry.

- I got a call and then I didn't...

- They scared the hell out of me.

Ed, make his bed.

You two really have to get going.

Really. Now.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Hey, hey. No, hey.

Welcome.

And if you have any further questions

today, just sign in right there,

and otherwise,

take a cookie, look around,

and, uh, I'm here to help.

[NAOMI] So, why would she knock?

She's nuts.

Maybe she was lost.

I just don't think the people up here

know what privacy is.

Excuse me? Your card was declined.

Do you have another one we could use?

Oh.

Uh, you know what?

I'll just use cash.

Okay.

Here. I-I got it.

No. Honey, you don't even...

It's birthday money.

- Uh, here you go. No change.

- Thanks.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Where'd you get birthday money?

Aunt Allison.

It's okay.

Thank you.

[SIGHS]

You know what?

Let's play a game.

- What?

- Yeah. Come on, it'll be fun.

Uh, if you won the lottery...

what would you do with the winnings?

I don't wanna play.

Come on.

Amuse me.

Fine. Uh...

I'd...

I'd pay off our debt.

Okay.

We're not that bad off.

But I would let you.

I'd buy us a new house back home.

- Can we have a pool?

- And a track.

I'd go to the Olympics in Japan.

- Can I come with you?

- Yeah. First class.

Other than that, I'd probably

just give the rest to you.

No.

I don't need it. You...

You'd probably spend it

on things that matter.

Well, I personally think that...

your dream of going to the Olympics

and owning a home

with the biggest backyard ever

are things that matter.

Thanks.

Okay. My turn.

Debt.

And then I think I would...

start doing photography again.

- Really?

- Yeah. I think so. I used to love it.
