How come I never slept that

good back in my attic

JOHN:

That's because I wasn't there

JOHN continued

with you to cuddle up to

SUZY:

Um....That might be part of

it – but seriously, that bed

upstairs is amazing.

JOHN:

Really?

SUZY:

Yeah – The only time I

managed to get a good night's

sleep in the past is when I'm

caught sleepwalking

JOHN:

Wow

SUZY:

I should really have told you

about that trait I carry. It

only happens now and then.

JOHN:

Have you been found before

in dangerous situations doing

it?

SUZY:

Thankfully not

Damn – Gotta be the fuse box.

How well did you sleep last

I just told you

JOHN:

Any recollection of you being

in the back garden during the

night?

SUZY:

What the hell are you talking

about?

JOHN:

Since we went to bed,

Somebody's dug up a large

piece of the back garden

SUZY:

Ha ha You think it was me?

JOHN:

I wouldn't have a clue – You

just now told me you

sleepwalk so I'm trying to

work out....

SUZY:

Yeah I do but....I remember

getting up to use the

bathroom once, but nothing

else.....Plus when I got out

of bed just now there were no

dirt or mud stains on the

floor or my feet....

John looking down at Suzy's feet

JOHN:

Yeah – Suzy ,I gotta be

honest, it's got me confused.

SUZY:

You sure you didn't do it,

and forget you did?

JOHN:

I only ever get out back right

now to throw out the garbage,

check the fusebox....I've not

touched the garden for months.

SUZY:

Ha ha....Maybe we've got a

poltergeist

Very funny.
