Cold Creek Manor Page #4

Think he's happy?

I think he's happy.

But he's really into Grady

and all his old stuff.

All his army garments.

Exactly.

It's a phase.

I think it's really creepy.

Yeah.

Think he'll go to college

like that?

I hope not.

Think they'd send him

back to us?

Yeah.

Actually,

he'd probably like that.

Dad.

There's some really,

really weird guy

looking at all your stuff.

What?

May I help you?

Excuse me.

I'm Dale Massie.

I used to live here.

Uh, Cooper Tilson.

Nice to meet you.

This is my wife, Leah.

Pleasure, ma'am.

Hey, young man.

That's Jesse.

- Kristen.

- Young lady.

Hi.

Do I smell burning?

What's cookin'?

Mmm.

Mmm. Mmm.

That is so gross.

Mmm.

That was so tasty, Mrs. Tilson.

Thank you.

Okay.

Speech time.

Kristen, Jesse...

why don't you go see

how Chester's doing, okay?

Chester?

It's a pony.

Oh.

How nice.

Is it all right if I smoke

in here?

Uh, sure.

Thank you.

It's okay.

This.

It's okay.

I screwed up.

Bank took everything.

You bought it.

You're doing a great job.

This place is gonna be gorgeous.

Really gorgeous.

Look, uh, Mr. Massie...

Oh. Dale.

Please. Call me Dale.

Dale, I feel...

Well, we feel bad.

If there's anything that you

want to take, go ahead.

It's yours.

Please, don't feel bad.

A house is just a shell, right?

I mean, you live in it

for a while.

Then things change.

Now it's yours.

I do have one question

for you, though.

Do you know what you're

getting yourself into?

Restoring this house?

Yeah.

We...

We thought that it would take

about two years

to just, you know,

to get it kind of...

I just got out of jail.

Three years for an accident

that wasn't my fault.

I need a favor.

I'm asking you both

for a break here.

I really need a job.

Now, I know this house

better than anybody.

I could help you fix it up.

We could start with that pool.

That is one beautiful pool

out there, Mrs. Tilson.

My grandmother put that in

in 1926.

You know that?

I could have you

and the kids in there

by Friday at the latest.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

I thought it needed relining.

Relining?

What?

Who told you that?

That's nonsense.

Uh...

Well, okay.

Why don't we start out

with the pool?

And then we'll see

how it goes from there.

Thank you.

I think we're gonna be

good friends.

I gotta use a rest room.

May I?

Yeah, it's right out the hall

and to the...

Well, you know where it is.

No sweat, Mr. Tilson.

Well, thanks again for dinner.

Yeah. Sure.

Sleep well.

It's gonna be great.

Maybe you should offer him

a ride.

Okay, be mean.

Where the hell is he going?

Back to prison.

Nice.

Hello, stranger.

Hi.

Hi.

I was just making

something to eat.

Oh, yeah?

But I ran out of bread.
