[SEAGULLS SCREECHING]

Come on.

Listen, if you're not back

here before low tide,

I'm leaving without you.

We'll be back, Sam.

Scout's honor.

I mean it.

Hard-nosed bastard!

Well, it's your own

damn fault, Rose.

If you had given him a decent tip,

he would've softened up.

ROSE:
I thought it was

in better shape!

JERRY:
Oh, don't worry

about that.

A coat of paint and this

place will be good as new.

And look at that view!

Quiet, tranquil, isolated.

Let's have a look inside.

I think you're gonna

change your mind

as soon as

you see the interior.

You know, this place is

quite a find...

Oh, you folks are gonna be very

happy with this investment.

I think with just a few minor

renovations you'll find that...

[THUD]

it virtually pays for itself.

I think in about a year, you'll

be living here rent-free.

Let's take a look at the

grand salon .

You'll find that this room

is quite spacious, as all

the rooms on this floor are.

[ROSE SIGHS]

This place is a wreck!

It's going to cost me a

goddamn fortune to fix it up.

That you bought for a sumway below....

below market value.

It was a lucky coincidence.

The owners were

desperate to sell.

In fact, had they given

us any kind of a time frame,

we could've gotten

double what we paid for it.

We were very shrewd to grabit

when we did, sight unseen.

- You really think so?

- [SCOFFS]

You think I don't know?

No doubt about it.

Well, now let's go check out

that kitchen.

It's newly renovated,

pipes and wiring,

has a wonderful double

gas stove and a really...

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

This house shouldn't

cost that much to rebuild.

The structure has good bones.

Well, maybe so, but it

looks like a lot of work to me.

MR. BROOKS:
This place

gives me the shivers.

Don't worry about that. Have the

heating fixed up in a snap.

[PANTING]

[DOOR CREAKING]

- You live here?

- Nobody lives here, Tommy.

Nobody.

[SEAGULLS SCREECHING]

[SIGHS]

Just figures these people

would turn up today.

They couldn't wait until tomorrow,

we're leaving anyway.

I think we should just

make a run for it.

Got plenty of pictures, jump

in the Zodiac, out of here.

They'll nail us and

figure we're thieves.

That's a dumb idea.

That's a dumb idea.

What do you suggest?

- Let's wait until they leave.

- Sh*t!

[WHISPERS] The hot plate.

MR. BROOKS:
It's still hot.

Someone's been here,

just now.

Or...

someone lives here.

It's impossible. I assure

you, nobody has been here.

Besides, my father would

have told me.

No one's lived here for years.

Years!

The last person,

that's what they say,

was a woman, a movie actress.

She was shooting a picture here

and fell in love with the place.
