All right.

Okay. We'll just...

Go find another costume.

There we go.

Scary ghost.

It's not scary at all.

I look stupid.

Sweetheart,

you don't look stupid.

You look great.

I think it's

gonna really be scary.

Boo!

There you go.

Got me, scary ghost.

Ohh.

Why don't you go find Carla

and show her?

Now I am a dead girl.

Whoo! Whoo!

Whoo! Whoo!

Whoo...

Oh, David...

You idiot.

Did you find them?

Yes, dear.

I told you I would.

I don't know

why you keep hiding things

in daddy's office.

You know how he gets

when we touch his things.

I know. Where's mom at?

Probably straightening

a painting somewhere.

Huh?

Come on.

Let's go outside

and finish that drawing.

It's too nice outside

to be in this stuffy house.

Oh, my god.

Mary?

Mary?

Mary?

Are you in there?

Carla told me

you were futzing around

back here.

Mare?

I just need to speak with you

for a moment, dear.

I know you're busy

with the party prep and all.

Mare?

Mary?

Oh, there you are.

Hi, Madeleine.

Hi. Good morning.

What are you doing down there?

Oh, I was just, uh...

Fixing the carpet.

What have you got back there?

Something big

for Lucy's birthday, no doubt.

You know Tilly Anderson

from across the street?

They got her daughter Gwinnifer,

- that little chubby thing...

- Yes.

They had a designer in Europe

build her a Princess coach bed

complete with flat-screen TV

built in.

Like she needs

to be laying around

in front of the TV any more

than she already does.

Poor thing, bless her heart,

she's gonna have

a rough go of it

come junior high.

I told Tilly

she needs to get her

into that new Pilates

for preteens class

over on Fairmont.

What can I... what can

I do for you, Madeleine?

Well, it's just I know

that it's Lucy's birthday today,

and I know that

my stepdaughters are away

at that new boarding school

in Vermont, you know,

in sunny hill. Very exclusive,

very hard to get into.

But it's just

the entire neighborhood,

it seems to be talking

about this party, so...

Would you like to come

to the party, Madeleine?

Oh! Why, that'd be lovely, dear.

- Thanks so much for the invite.

- Yeah. Okay.

You know, last month,

the Gibsons over on Chestnut...

- No.

- They had a deejay,

an entire magic-themed

fun house.

Oh, gosh.

Are you doing anything special

for Lucy?

It's just her friends and cake.

- Oh.

- So, mm-hmm.

Well, let me know if you

want me to get anything.

It's really no trouble. There's

a designer cupcake place...

All right, see you in a bit.

Over by where

I get the cats washed.

Okay. Just...

Just let me know. Thanks, dear.

F***.

Oh, Madeleine,

for the love of...

What the...

Well, hey, I wasn't done yet.
