[girl's voice] The wind blows
wherever it wants.
You can hear it,
but cannot tell where it comes
from or where it is going.
Just as you cannot explain how
people are born of the spirit.
[music playing
over car radio]
[turns ignition off]
- [sighs]
- Wait.
What?
Where are the keys?
Babe, remember,
I have them.
Just because you wouldn't
let me drive
doesn't mean I can't
at least open the door.
[laughing]
Are you okay?
Shh!
[mumbling]
[door creaking open]
Shh!
Congratulations, you passed
the "key in the lock" challenge.
[woman giggling]
I see.
[muffled chatter
through walls]
Guys, no.
[man]
So how's our mood?
[woman]
I am always in the mood.
[man]
I know you are...
Are you kidding me?
Gross.
[music playing over earbuds]
[boy whispering]
Mama.
[whispering]
Hey.
Did you hear that?
What?
I heard something.
Like what?
What'd you hear?
Like Lucy,
but not Lucy.
[sighs]
Maybe I didn't hear
anything.
Was it a dream?
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe.
No, I don't think so.
[girl's voice]
I don't want to die.
It's not time
for me to die.
[Lucy]
You got to be kidding me.
[door opens and closes]
Hey, Mom, Dad!
I told you I was going through
some hard times in business.
A rough patch.
Mom has a job.
We don't have to move.
I love the thought sweetie,
but being a writer
doesn't mean I have a job
unless somebody
buys my writing.
It's kind of like putting
a "for sale" sign out front.
I mean, it doesn't mean
anything's sold
until somebody
wants to buy it.
We're just keeping
our options open.
This is where we live.
You can't sell it
for that reason alone.
Well, someone would have to make
a really good offer
before we'd even consider
saying yes.
Now, the people who built this
house back in 1800-something,
they built it
for themselves.
else living here.
What's that supposed to mean?
Well, this house, it's not meant
for anyone in particular.
We'll be here for a short while,
just like the people before us.
And we certainly won't
be the last ones to live here.
Not the way
this place was made.
You don't get it.
This is my home.
I live here.
You know, when we first
moved here,
the thought of living in an old
house with an historical vibe,
it was great.
But the maintenance
is never-ending.
I mean, people
are always outside
like it's some sort
of tourist attraction.
What maintenance?
The plumbing.
I mean, the pipes are ancient.
- The roof.
- The yard.
Grass just keeps
growing and growing,
whether somebody
cuts it or not.
Dad doesn't have a job.
He can cut it.
Plus, winter's coming.
Stuff stops growing.
Problem solved.
The house is a bit big
for a family of three.
I think it's time to let
somebody else live here.
You already
made up your minds!
I hate you guys.
[sighs]
time and time again.
I know.
Just give her some time.
[camera shutters clicking]
[sighs]
[camera shutters clicking]
[sighs]
Oh, really.
Great.
Now?
- Happy birthday, dear Lucy
- Happy birthday, dear Lucy
All right.
- Happy birthday, sweetie.
- Make a wish.
- [laughs]
- All right.
Well...
- Well?
- Well, what?
Oh, my goodness.
[sighs]
I forgot the gifts.
Oh, no.
- Yeah.
- Mom?
- Maybe next year, hon.
- Dad?
So not cool.
[both laugh]
You know, I think I might
have seen a few things
in the living room.
- Did you see...?
- Oh. Yeah, maybe.
Maybe some sparkles and bows.
