House Hunting Page #5

---

Your name is on these.

It's from the bank.

Foreclosure agreement.

Is that why we're here?

Because you foreclosed

on these people's house?

There's a boy in the window.

Mm-hmm.

I'm serious!

Yeah, uh-huh.

We must have evicted them.

Oh.

-What's wrong?

-There's someone in the house.

Who? Who?

I saw a little boy

in that window.

This is him,

this is the boy that I saw.

[basket creaking]

What is it?

Not a sane one in this house.

He was standing right there.

You sure you saw someone?

Mommy?

Mommy?

Lizzy.

Baby, what are you doing here?

I came to see you, Mommy.

Baby.

I miss you so much.

Oh, look at that.

We never could get that hair

to stay in place, could we?

Let's fix that. OK.

Let's put that up.

Look at your sweet little face.

There.

There! Look at that!

I can't stay.

Oh, no, please don't go.

Don't go now.

Please don't leave Mommy.

Stay with me.

Please stay with Mommy.

[sobbing]

What about everybody else?

I can't.

I can't.

I love you so much.

I love you, too, Mommy.

I'm gonna get sick

if I eat any more of this sh*t.

Honey, please don't ruin dinner.

But it's not dinner.

It's crap.

Don't talk to your mother

that way.

At least we have something.

What?

Do you like being here?

It's just...

it seems like it.

You know, you're always cleaning

and straightening and...

It's not making

a bit of difference.

How is that any different than

out there in the real world?

Oh, I think

it's very goddamn different.

[gasps]

Sorry.

Let's just all

take a breath, OK?

No.

You know something.

It is not my fault

that you can't handle this.

You know what I can't handle?

I can't handle

your demure attitude.

You know what that means?

Or did you not teach that

to your third graders?

Susan...

Please.

It's OK.

She can't help herself.

Oh, please.

Do you think you're the only

person who's ever lost someone?

Huh?

The rest of us

just haven't given up!

You all just keep pushing.

I'm not the enemy.

We could have saved her.

We did everything we could.

Please...

No, just get away from me.

Just get away from me.

Get away from me!

[approaching footsteps]

Baby.

Yeah.

OK.

OK.

...on the speakers you see

around the house

to hear about this great place!

I think you'll like

what you see.

It takes a family

to make a house a home.

[crying]

[singing softly]

I'm crazy about you

Without you

For you I'm strong

I can't do without you

Howcha magowcha

Don't stay too long

[heart beating]

[gasps]

Charlie! Charlie!

You would never do that.

Right?

Do what?

Would you?

[floor creaks]

I went into a house,

and it wasn't a house.

It has big steps

and a great, big hall.

But it hasn't got a garden,
