The Visit Page #6

They get confused.

Don't freak out.

Old people get paranoid.

And he's a country guy.

All he does is chop wood.

TYLER:

Hey. You still don't

want to talk about it?

(thumping, creaking)

(thumping,

creaking continue)

What is that?

(rhythmic thumping)

TYLER:

Okay, we think there's

someone outside the door.

It's 10:
47.

(thumping, squealing)

Open the door, Becca.

No way.

Okay, keep recording this.

(loud thump)

Come on. Let's see

what's out there.

(thumping, scraping)

No, something's wrong.

I'm opening the door,

Becca.

I'm opening the door now,

Becca.

I don't think

you should.

Here I go.

I'm gonna open the door.

Well, open it then!

Why do you keep

talking about it?

(thumping continues)

(groans)

(thumping,

scraping continues)

Jesus, Becca,

I'm blind.

Pop Pop?

Pop Pop?

I gotta tell you

the truth.

She has

a diagnosed disorder.

Apparently,

many elderly people

have it.

Why was she throwing up

like that?

Well...

sometimes

she gets it in her head

that she ate something,

and it's inside her--

(sighs)

and trying to crawl out.

It's called sundowning.

It's a kind of dementia.

It's triggered by nightfall.

BECCA:

This is real?

It's like somebody

talking in their sleep,

is how I was explained it.

It's probably best

that we just call it a rule

that you two shouldn't

come out of your room

after 9:
30 PM.

Deal?

Is that a deal?

Yeah, yeah.

It's fine.

I'm sorry about this.

You must not be

happy now.

It's okay,

Pop Pop.

I'm okay.

We're just here

till Saturday.

A-Are you

going somewhere?

Yeah.

I've got to catch the train

to go to the costume party.

Pop Pop, I think you're

mixing up something.

Huh?

Oh, man.

Oh, man.

Wh-What a--

What a bunch of

confused old fools

your grandparents

turned out to be.

It's all right.

Huh.

It's okay.

(sighs)

Don't worry about it.

Yeah.

Okay?

Okay. Yeah.

It's okay.

Right. Yeah.

NANA:

Good morning,

Cecil B. DeMille.

He was a great director.

I made you

cheddar biscuits, dear.

Was the old coot getting ready

for the costume party again?

BECCA:

Yeah, he was.

He's crazy.

I'm just doing

some chores in the barn.

I'll be in in a minute.

Something happened

to your computer.

I spilled

some biscuit batter on it.

I tried to clean it

with cleaner.

I'm sorry.

TYLER:

She's weird during the day,

and then gets

even weirder at night?

I'm telling you it's okay.

I downloaded the definition

of "sundowning."

You wouldn't understand

half the words I'm reading.

The word "YOLO" isn't in it.

It's got to do with

neurological reactions

to sunshine and moonlight.

It's literally

a chemical reaction.

"Sundown Syndrome--

a term

for disorientation,
