Um, I was just wondering if you need

any help in here with anything.

I think I'm all set.

Okay.

Actually... Erin?

Yeah?

I am out of milk.

Oh. Uh, okay.

Could you go over

to the neighbor's house

and see if he has some?

His name's Erik.

Okay.

Well, I'll be right back.

PAUL:
How's this look, Drake?

DRAKE:
Beautiful. Great color.

PAUL:
Grain looks nice, doesn't it?

DRAKE:
Yeah.

CRISPIAN:
I don't know about this grain.

What's going on over here?

Work.

Hey, babe.

ERIN:
Boys. You look so adorable.

Can you hold that?

Ready?

Beautiful.

Come join us, Erin.

Your mom just asked me

to go to your neighbor's

to see if I could borrow some milk.

Really?

ERIN:
Yeah.

CRISPIAN:
All right.

I'll be back in a minute.

PAUL:
Sounds like your mom.

DRAKE:
That's right.

Don't start.

Don't start with me.

I'm gonna go check on Kelly.

Looks so good, Dad.

PAUL:
Thanks, Drake.

So how'd that fellowship thing

turn out?

Oh. Uh...

Not so good.

No?

No. Uh...

I guess there were a lot of applicants

this year, and...

I haven't exactly been

published recently, so...

Well, there are some people

that aren't published

that do get the fellowship,

you know.

Shut the door.

Where'd your brother

find that girl?

I don't know. Student?

Former student?

Huh.

Current student.

(SCOFFS)

I'll bet she's kind of annoying.

Accent's just, like,

so jarring to me.

(THUDDING)

(FOOTSTEPS)

Hey, I lit the furnace. Sorry.

You okay?

Were you just upstairs?

No, I was in the basement.

Did you hear that, just now?

Hear what?

I heard footsteps.

I think someone's in the house.

Are you sure?

Paul, we gotta get out of here!

Aubrey.

Hurry up!

No. You go outside.

I'm gonna check the upstairs.

You come outside with me!

It's a creaky old house.

Paul! There is someone up there!

(SIGHS)

Babe, don't.

Okay. I don't...

I'm not feeling this right now, okay?

Don't give me that look.

(SCOFFS)

(SIGHS)

Do you have any Vicodin?

Yeah. It's in my purse.

In my eyes

ERIN:
Hello? Is anyone home?

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

All my life I'm looking

for the magic

I've been looking for the magic

Fantasize on a sexy little tragic

I've been looking for the magic

In my eyes

Hi, Mommy!

Oh, honey.
