In fact, I almost took one of his eyes out.

And was that when you lost your hearing?

Yeah.

A couple weeks later.

I kept hearing things

that sounded like the noises he made.

And I found

that kind of thing pretty nauseating, so...

And what did you do about it?

I mean, did you see someone?

Yes, I was seeing a therapist.

My hearing came back.

I was getting better.

I really thought I could be normal,

you know?

And now...

I think that

there's something living here with me

up above the ceiling,

underneath the floorboards.

- Be careful.

- Thank you.

The devil had me

please forgive

forgive

"i beg you, Christ,

have mercy for all my sins. Fletcher."

Hey, Carol.

Yes?

I found a damp patch.

Looks like it's right over your bed.

I think it is a leak in the roof.

I mean, you see?

Let's get out of here.

There's nobody up here, boss.

No, really? I'm amazed.

No, there was someone up there.

Maybe they came down

when we were on the phone.

Look, whatever you think about her,

I'm not crazy.

There was someone up there.

Let's at least search the whole place.

All right.

Come on, Billy.

Right on, baby.

All right, boys.

- Billy.

- Sir?

Billy, come on over here.

Now what about upstairs with the bike?

Well, we have identical brothers.

They look just like us.

You expect me to believe that?

- Yes.

- Yes.

All right, you, pick up your stuff,

hit the road. I catch you around here again

I'm gonna throw you in the pokey,

you understand?

- What's the poker?

- Don't worry about it.

Go ahead, get out of here.

Go ahead, skedaddle, go.

Take them cats too. Get out of here.

Have you seen sharpe yet?

- Yes.

- When?

Yesterday, why?

It doesn't matter.

Look, I'm going to go upstairs.

Thank you for coming over.

Maybe we'll see each other soon?

Sure. Now you take care.

Don't mention it.

Any time. My pleasure.

Psycho.

Do you hear that?

You hear that, you little sh*t?

That's the sound of my gun

above your head.

Sh*t!

Stop or I'll shoot.

Don't miss.

You got one bullet, I got two feet.

How do you keep getting in here?

Some big dumb-looking guy let me in.

- Richard.

- Yeah.

And the door to the apartment is broken.

Looks like it's locked,

but you can push it open with one finger.

Great.

My life is a joke.

- How are you?

- Fine.

Just swell.

I'm sorry about the other day.

I was out of line.

I was gonna call

and invite you out to dinner,

but I thought, there's no restaurant in town

that cooks as well as I do.

So I brought the stuff over.

I thought I'd make you dinner.

Any objections?

When I was 17 my mother remarried.

She got pregnant, she had the kid

and then she and my stepfather

were killed in a car crash.
