a movie afterwards...

...which would put us home

around midnight. Is that okay?

-That's fine.

-Great.

-Okay. Anything else? All set?

-The children?

First bedroom

at the top of the landing.

They're getting over the flu.

We had a hard time

getting them to sleep...

...so whatever you do,

please, try not to wake them.

Oh, we have an alarm system.

I'll write the code

down for you right here.

-You familiar with these?

-Yes.

Okay, honey, let's go.

Bye.

-Just make yourself at home.

-Okay.

Oh, thank you. I just bought them.

Hello?

Dr. Mandrakis?

Rosa?

Rosa?

Rosa?

Rosa, this is Jill the babysitter.

Hello.

Hello.

Mandrakis residence.

Hello?

Chester.

What are the kids like?

I don't know.

They were asleep when I got here.

And the house?

Pretty amazing.

You should see her closet.

It's bigger than my room.

Food?

I haven't checked that out yet.

Good closet means good supplies.

Listen, I'm not sure if I should

tell you this, but--

What?

The jerk called me.

He wants your number over there.

Well, did you give it to him?

No, because he'd call.

It's okay to give it to him.

I'm smelling weakness.

I'm not being weak.

Then why talk to him?

So I can just end this thing

once and for all.

Well, that sounds convincing.

Come on, I got it.

The person you really should

be talking to is Tiffany.

When are you heading

over to the bonfire?

Nice subject change.

I'm on my way now.

I wanna get a good seat before

the jocks start streaking...

...Iike a pack of wild idiots.

Now you're really

making me sad I'm missing it.

You want me to swing by first?

No, it's okay.

But give Bobby the number,

all right?

-Don't say I didn't warn you.

-Fine, I've been warned.

-Hello.

-This is TTR Protection.

We just registered your alarm.

Is there an emergency,

or do you need assistance?

No, not at all.

I'm just the babysitter.

I think the maid set off the alarm.

May I have the password please?

Password? I only have a number.

I'll have to check with the Mandrakises

to confirm your identity.

-What is your name?

-Jill Johnson.

Okay, Miss Johnson,

Mrs. Mandrakis confirmed.

-Good night.

-Thank you.

Hello.

Hello, is somebody there?

Is everything okay? We just got

a call from the alarm company.

Everything's fine.

The alarm just went off.

I don't know how many times I've

written the number down for Rosa.

-Did it wake the kids?

-I don't think so.

They're still quiet.

Do you want me to go check?

No, no. Trust me, you'd know

if they were awake.

Okay. Well, good.

Call if you need anything else.

Okay. Thank you.

Rosa.

Is everything okay?

Rosa.

Are you still here?

Hello.

Mandrakis residence.

Is everything okay?
