The Haunting in Connecticut Page #3

Careful.

Watch your step.

Okay, you're almost there.

-Thank you.

-Okay.

l forgot my purse.

l'll be right back. Wait here.

-Okay.

-All right?

Mom?

The blue one that he takes for nausea?

Twenty-five bucks a pill.

l know. l tried.

But, Peter, l was on hold for an hour.

Matt?

Matt.

Where are you?

l'm in here.

How'd you get in here?

What is this place?

Hop on.

Take you for a ride.

Slow down.

Matt. Matt.

Stop.

Let me off!

Stop.

Matt. Matt.

-What's going on down here?

-What's the matter with you?

l guess l must've loosened it.

Good Lord.

Now we know

why the rent was so cheap.

What did you know, and when the hell

did you know it? Jesus.

Know what?

What this place was.

Aren't you the one

who says we can't live on lies?

Well, that's before,

when you were a drunk and a liar.

Right, but l'm not now.

l know.

l'm sorry, Peter.

And you're right, l should've told you.

lt just....

We needed a place,

and it just seemed perfect.

Okay, so we all know now

that this was a funeral home.

Big deal.

lt's not now and it hasn't been

for years and years.

lt's just a house.

Bricks and nails and wood.

lt's our house until Matt finishes

at the hospital.

And we're all under a lot of stress...

...so we need to pull together

like a team, okay?

Okay. So who wants to say grace?

Matt?

Matt?

-Matt.

-Jonah. Jonah.

Honey?

Are you all right?

Matt?

-What's wrong?

-lt's the medicine.

Didn't you see it?

Come on.

So, what happened?

Do you remember that book we

used to read when we were little kids?

The one with all...

...the weird pictures?

The Man Who Wasn't There.

Used to love that book.

Yeah, l remember.

As I was walking up the stair

I saw a man who wasn't there

He wasn't there again today

-Oh, how I wish he'd go away

-Oh, how I wish he'd go away

Yeah.

Do you remember the other one?

Maybe. Which one?

It was one bright day

In the middle of the night

Two dead boys got up to fight

Back-to-back they faced one another

They drew their swords

And they shot each other

A deaf policeman, he heard the noise

And he came

And he killed those two dead boys

Matt, you're scaring me.

Well, join the club.

Oh, now, that didn't hurt.

You were dreaming.

Been breathing heavy,

and so, of course...

...it can either mean it was

a very bad dream or a very good one.

Well, l've had better.

l don't know, it's just, like,

that sometimes lately it's been tough.

What?

l don't know, like, do you ever,

like, see things?

Like, hear things that just--

They can't be there?

You don't ever wanna tell them

you can see things, okay?

They're not gonna understand.

l remember when my wife was dying...
