You don't seem to ever

Want to spend any time

with me anymore.

We spend

our lives in bed!

We do not.

That's not the way it is,

and you know that.

Just relax.

Can't you just

relax here?

No, I can't

relax here.

I'll just watch, like,

the first half with him.

I'm so sick of you,

This whole place,

everyone here.

All you want to do

is sit down

And watch the games

And just let everything

just pass by.

We have to get

in the car,

And we have to drive

all the way out there.

It's even

more exhausting.

Oh, come on.

Give me a break!

Just forget it.

Nosferatu.

Oh, you must be Martin.

Just a minute, son.

I'll get my purse.

Go around to the side.

Go around to the side.

This is

for the meat.

And this is

for you, Martin.

Ok?

Well, that was quick.

I didn't expect you

till later this afternoon.

It's good

that you caught me.

I was just gonna run

down to the state store.

Thank you.

I can give you

A ride back downtown

if you'd like.

Why not?

It's such a long way.

Let's go.

This is

really something...

Coming all the way up here

to deliver this stuff.

Now I deliver you

all the way back downtown.

I could have

picked it up myself.

It's too bad you had

to walk all the way up.

Have you got a minute?

I need gas.

can I help you?

Woyes. A dollar's worth

of regular, please.

My husband puts in

all the mileage

When he's out gallivanting

around with the girls.

So i'm not gonna use

my money

To fill up the tank

for him.

I don't get enough

as it is.

Yeah, I know you

have to get back.

It'll just be

a minute.

Would you reach over there

in the glove compartment

And give me the little

notebook that's in there.

In the glove

compartment.

There's a little

notebook in there.

Thanks.

My husband's

a fanatic about this...

How much gas, when,

what's the mileage.

I'm sorry.

I'm the complaining

old housewife.

If you don't like it,

get out.

Hey, I don't mean you.

I mean me.

If i'm so dissatisfied,

I should

just get out of it

And shut up

about it.

You remind me of an old

cat I used to have.

I don't mean that

to sound funny.

I had

an old alley cat,

And he used to sit

on the floor

And stare up at me

with those eyes.

I really

used to be able

To talk

to that old cat.

And he'd just

listen and listen

Till I got it all

out of my system.

He never said

anything either,

Never talked back.

Wow.

Thank you.

Say, do you do

any other jobs...

Yardwork, handy-Work,

stuff like that?

Well, maybe we can work

something out.

See you next week.

Christina:
it's crazy.

I can't believe

this is happening.

It's a nightmare,

for you and him!

Your father was not

from our part of the world.

George A. Romero

George Andrew Romero (February 4, 1940 – July 16, 2017) was an American-Canadian filmmaker, writer and editor, best known for his series of gruesome and satirical horror films about an imagined zombie apocalypse, beginning with Night of the Living Dead (1968), which is often considered a progenitor of the fictional zombie of modern culture.

Aside from this series, his works include The Crazies (1973), Martin (1978), Creepshow (1982), Monkey Shines (1988), The Dark Half (1993) and Bruiser (2000). He also created and executive-produced the 1983–88 television series Tales from the Darkside. Romero is often noted as an influential pioneer of the horror-film genre, and has been called an "icon" and the "Father of the Zombie Film". more…
