handle on the unpacking yet.

- Ah, not at all.

- I haven't had a chance to

go shopping yet, but, uhm,

I was just making

some herbal tea.

- Tea would be lovely, except

no sugar or cream for me,

doctor says I gotta watch

the sweets and the dairy.

- Yeah, plain's fine for me too.

- I'll be right back.

- Ah, who's this

lovely young lady?

- I'm sorry what?

- Look at her Amy,

isn't she adorable.

- Oh yeah she is.

- Is she yours?

Well I can tell you for

schools, you're gonna wanna

avoid Roosevelt, but Chapman

has a great little program,

I'm on the school

board there, so I can...

- Lizzy actually

passed away last year.

- Oh, I'm so sorry.

- That's fine.

- Thank you.

Oh god, get it off of me, my

cross, get it off, get it off!

Get it off, get it off of me!

- God!

- Are you hurt what happened?

- It was the weirdest

thing, I, all of the sudden

I felt like my

chest was on fire.

- Oh my god.

- Here, please.

- No, no it's fine, I'm

fine, no it's fine, I'm fine,

thank you I'm leaving.

- It's fine.

- I am so sorry!

Let me out!

Richard!

- Sarah?

- Get me the f*** out of here!

- Oh, okay, okay, I got

you, I got you, okay.

Okay...

You feel better?

- No I don't feel better.

- Okay just calm down.

- I don't like it here,

there's something wrong

with this place.

- So what has happened exactly?

A broken doorknob,

a popped light bulb.

It seems to me we're just

like par for the course,

when living in a

broken down old house.

Look, you're tired,

you're stressed out...

- so I'm imagining things?

- Okay I didn't say that.

It's just, you've been through

hell, and with the stress

of the move, I just want you

to look at this objectively

for a second, okay.

Shitty old house, with bad

plumbing and rusty knobs,

or our mother's house is

suddenly haunted after 30 years.

- No, you weren't there,

you didn't see the...

Last night, when I

was taking a bath I...

Maybe I am imagining things.

- Let's go somewhere.

- Go somewhere?

- Yeah, anywhere, I don't

know, some place that isn't

this f***ing house.

- Yeah.

Just uhm, let me go

freshen up really quick.

- Hi folks what

can I get for you?

- Club soda.

- Club soda.

- A Coors light draft please.

- Okay.

- God this place brings

back a lot of memories.

- Not for me, that

might be the blackouts.

- Are you sure that

you're okay being here?

- Yeah, yeah it's not a problem.

As long as they serve soda.

- How long has it been now?

- Seven years next month.

- Congratulations,

that's, that's great.

- One day at a time,

that's what they tell me.

- What?

- Here you go, that'll

be 4.50 unless you guys

wanna open a tab.

- Hey, Richard.

- Oh, I'm sorry, just uh,
