House Hunting Page #4

Check it out, it's still warm.

Oh, what?

You think she did this?

Wait, check this out, come on.

Look.

She must have done it.

Why do you say that?

She was the only one gone!

She just had her tongue cut out.

I doubt that she's stacking cans

in the pantry.

I'm just saying.

I'm gonna go start a fire.

She said, Charlie,

my dear...

[radio changes stations]

Jason, find a station

and leave it there, OK?

What are you doing?

I just figured

if we're gonna be here...

I think the phone service

must be cut at the pole.

The water heater's busted.

I couldn't get

the heater to work,

but we've got plenty

of firewood,

so we won't freeze to death.

Anything from the girl?

No.

Is she eating?

[footsteps]

CHARLIE:
Psst! Hey! Turn that

thing off! Turn it off!

LESLIE:
Bring him in,

he's frozen!

Sit down. Come by the fire.

Come on, come on.

You OK?

[Don groans]

Get a blanket.

Did you find someone?

I could hear cars going by

just over the hill.

So they're coming to get us?

They were always just...

over the hill.

CHARLIE:
What do you mean?

I mean, every time

I went across the hill,

they were just over

the next f***ing hill!

JASON:
So you didn't

even get to the road?

Jason, what are you missing

in "just over the next hill?"

I walked around for

I don't know how many hours,

and every time I looked around,

there was the house.

This house!

I'm sorry.

I cannot get stuck here!

Shut up.

Excuse me?

Shut up.

The girl knows.

We all stay here

until someone comes.

OK?

Welcome to lot number 6485.

Feel free to take

a look around.

Press the buttons

on the speakers

you see around the house

to hear about this great place!

I think you'll like

what you see.

Do you want me to wash it?

No, it'll work...

for one more day.

Did you sleep last night?

No.

Not at all?

Mm-mm.

[knock on door]

How was your night?

Are you serious?

Yes, I...

Fine, thank you.

Are you coming downstairs?

No.

Do you want me to stay here?

What?

I just can't help thinking...

I wasn't even

supposed to be here.

Why's that?

Charlie, I told you I didn't

want to go looking at houses.

With Emmy, you mean.

No. No, I mean...

[water running]

I want to get

the kindling today.

You get to go outside.

I'll go with her.

Take this.

Well, don't--don't go far.

No one's coming.

You want to go out there again?

Don't know what else we can do

but try.

At least that thing

hasn't been back.

Only one lucky family will call

this house their home.

Will it be your family?

But it is watching.

I get that much.

You're almost walking normal.

I only need the brace

for a week more.

Can I kiss you?

You remind me of my ex.

CHARLIE:
More photographs.
