Lakeview Terrace Page #4

Something happen?

Lisa's a little paranoid.

Got an alarm system, right?

Yeah, it's kind of wonky.

You might want to get that fixed.

You know, you got a woman

you wanna try and protect.

Well, you know, this is stupid,

but your outside lights over here...

What about them?

They're shining right into our upstairs.

I see how that could be annoying.

Just till we get some curtains up.

You know the arroyo back here

that runs along everybody's house?

There's some

unsavory characters down there.

You know, kids with nothing to do.

They tag stuff, vandalize.

- Been some break-ins.

- Is that right?

I got a teenage daughter who likes to

sneak out at night if I don't stay on top of it.

- You know what I mean?

- I hear you.

I bet you don't want them shining down

on your pool deck at night, either.

I guess not.

Celia, Marcus.

This is Mr. Mattson.

He's the man on the other side of the fence.

- Say hi.

- Hi.

- All right. See you, guys.

- Bye, Dad.

Thanks for your time.

- Okay, get out of the way. Move.

- No, don't kick the ball.

Move!

You're stupid! What'd you do that for?

Now the lady's coming.

Hello?

Hey.

She did it.

Come get it.

- Dad never let us over here.

- Why not?

He don't want us being freeloaders.

That's a good thing to not be.

You don't even know what a freeloader is.

Somebody that can swim in this pool.

Well, you guys can swim here

anytime you want.

- You just need to ask your parents.

- Parent.

Our mom died.

I'm sorry.

- So it's just you guys and your dad?

- Yeah.

But he has enough rules for two people.

Yeah, well, that's how dads are.

It'll get better as you get older.

No. He will never change his mind.

What he says is what goes,

and the more you argue, the more he's like,

"Excuse me? I am the law. "

Anyways, I like your hair.

Thank you. I'm Lisa.

Celia.

- And you are?

- I'm Marcus.

Nice to meet you.

- So, Celia, can you do me a favor?

- Sure.

My husband and I are having

a housewarming party here on Friday

and I would love it if you and your dad

and Marcus all came over

so we could kind of get acquainted.

You don't have to invite Marcus.

She already did.

So I'll see you Friday.

- Okay.

- Yes.

Okay.

Nice to meet you guys.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Bye.

Okay, okay, okay.

- Hey.

- Hello there.

Late night?

Well, you know, big town.

A lot of people to suck up to.

So, honey, these are...

Did you talk to him about the lights?

Yeah. He's gonna take care of it.

- I'm gonna go talk to him.

- No, I'll do it. Here, let me.

- No, because you...

- Let me handle it. Please.

- Okay.

- All right.

Be nice.

- I am nice.

- And don't be all...

You know, 'cause he's...
