The Unbroken Page #4

stand out to you?

His stare.

I can't get it

out of my head.

I mean, I don't know,

maybe he was scared.

But he had this, like...

...blank loneliness,

that he needed something.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Yeah, uh, uh... look,

I'm sorry, you got me

at a really bad time.

I'm right in the middle of

something, I-I-I gotta run, but...

Welcome to

the neighborhood, really.

Thanks, uh, thanks

for stopping by.

I'll see you soon.

Yeah... yeah.

It was nice

to meet you, too.

(CALM MELODY #)

- Here, let me help you with those.

- Oh!

- You must be Mrs. Stubbs.

- Yes, how did you know?

Well, Mrs. Parks told me

to look out for you.

I'm Sarah Campbell.

I just moved in.

- Oh.

- Um...

...Mrs. Parks said you might

know if there's any kids

visiting the complex, I wanted

to return this toy to them.

(TOY CLOWN LAUGHING)

What are you doing?

Give those back to me.

I was just trying to help.

I didn't ask for any help,

did I?

Next time,

mind your own business!

Helping people

only leads to misery.

Well, I don't think so.

I don't care what you think.

What's up, Sarah?

I was just, uh...

...doin' a little Wii Fit.

Do, uh...

Do you want to join me?

Aah, I'm sorry.

What did I do?

What did I do?

Why is everyone here

so unfriendly?

That seems to be a pretty good icebreaker.

Look what it did for us.

(CHUCKLES)

Look, don't sweat

Ms. Stubbs, all right?

She's been a crazy old

b*tch since the '20s.

Who else

was mean to you?

I will punch them

right in the mouth.

That guy up in five.

Mr. Middlebrooks?

Except for him.

I'm pretty sure

he's like ex-CIA or something.

Really?

Yeah, that,

or a serial killer.

He was such a nice,

quiet young man,

I never thought

he would do such a thing.

(LAUGHTER)

Isn't it ridiculous

when people say that?

"Yes, I said he was crazy all along,

and nobody would listen to me."

(LAUGHTER)

Seriously,

what the hell did you do?

I knew you were a little bit

nutty, but are you punching walls?

No, I broke my bathroom

mirror with my hand.

What?

You know that's like seven years

of my aunt hating you, right?

She's gonna be pissed.

Really?

I mean, I'll pay to fix it.

No, I'll take care of it.

Thanks.

Yep.

That's what I do.

Besides, any excuse to hang

out with you is a good one.

Well, good, because I'm gonna

need your help with something.

(TOY CLOWN LAUGHING)

(TOMMY VOCALIZES DISGUST)

That could seriously be the most

disturbing thing I've ever seen.

Yeah, that seems to be

the general consensus.

Um, to be honest, the thing

kind of creeps me out, too,

but I gotta find the kid

it belongs to.

There aren't any kids here.

I keep hearing that,

but I swear I almost hit
