Dream House Nightmare

---

1

New floors.

New paint.

Safe neighborhood.

Kenner is one

of the safest cities

in Louisiana.

You would be zoned

in an excellent school

for your girl.

The special ed program

is very good.

There is just

so much light.

All right,

what's the catch? Hmm?

Faulty plumbing

or a leaky roof?

I'm telling you, nothing.

It is completely

move-in ready.

What? Look at this kitchen!

Mm-hmm.

Oh.

Ethan.

What do you think?

Oh, it's--it's okay.

It's got A.C.

Not real happy

about them stairs.

Honey, you're not gonna be

on crutches forever.

My husband,

he fell off a ladder

at his job.

Enough with

the pity party. Damn.

His, um, meds make him

kind of cranky, you know.

But he's in P.T.,

but with the back

and the legs,

it's just real bad.

But you know what we got

a great settlement,

and it's just enough

for me to get my dream home.

Mama!

Hey.

Oh, this yard.

Definitely

a selling point.

Imagine throwing

parties back here.

Ah, I don't know

about parties,

but I could definitely

imagine myself sitting here

and just

watching the sunset.

Mama, look!

Look!

Oh, my--

I see, my love.

Oh, my word.

This is beautiful.

Mom, I can

feel it coming.

Oh. Oh, all right, dear.

All right.

Okay. All right.

You're okay.

You're all right.

You're okay.

It's, um--

It's a petit mal seizure.

She suffers

from them regularly.

Oh. Um...

Look at the tree.

Look at the tree.

Look at the tree.

Here you go.

You're okay.

You're okay.

There you go.

See, she needs

a safe place,

a place full of magic.

I'm ready to make an offer.

Destiny, where's

your other hair clip?

Well,

the owners couldn't ask

for a better offer.

We have one more

showing today, but--

But you'll tell them

about us, right?

I mean, you'll tell them

about my--my daughter,

my husband's struggles?

You'll tell them

that we deserve it?

Well, I will

call you this weekend,

and I'll let you know.

It's a strong offer.

Okay.

Hi.

Well, you're too late.

The house is already mine.

No, no, no.

Come on in,

Mr. and Mrs. Wade.

Come on in.

Okay. Well,

there's the creek.

Holy crap.

My goodness.

They had these for months.

Turn it off.

I want to see

what I found.

Destiny.

Is that candy?

Oh, God.

Destiny, baby,

you can't do this

at the new house.

You gotta do better, baby.

The--The new house,

it's big and it's beautiful

and it's perfect.

Finally, our chance

to get out of this dump

and start fresh.

Madison!

Oh, jeez,

it's--it's full of spit!

How long you been

spitting candy in here?

Will you help me

up the stairs?

I need help!

Will you just

give me a minute?

Oh, jeez.

No, I'm throwing it

away, Destiny.

It's filthy!

But it's mine,

and I want it!

I need help!

Stop it!

It's mine!

I want it!

Destiny, stop!

Can you help me

up the stairs?

Hello.

Yes?

Madison?

Yeah, could you just

hold on a minute?

Just--Stop it!

Madison, you better

not be on that phone!

Give it back! Give--

Give that to me.

Can you hold on just a minute?

Madison,

get off the phone!

Give me this!

Madison,

get off the phone!

Hi. Yes, I'm still here.

Um, please tell me

we got the house.

Please tell me

we got the house.

Yes, I'm--I'm sorry, too.

Mom! Mom!

I want my bear!

Mom, I want it!

Mom!

Madison!

I want my bear!

Mom!

Mom! Mom!

You're working too hard,

and it's too hot out here.

Go inside and sit

in the air conditioning.

In our new home?

We did it.

We did.

Uh-oh!

We caught you!

PDA! PDA!

Hi.

Hi, I'm Pam.

This is my husband, Eddie.

We just live

right over there

down the street.

We're the neighborhood
