COMMUNION:

Someone is here.

Mm...

Darling...

Come to bed.

Knock-knock.

She says... he says...

I like this. OK.

Really, because, you know, I like

a "knock-knock" joking.

You can do...

I can do "knock-knock" to...

Based on the true experiences

of one American family.

New York, 1985.

Download.

Get up!

I'm cookin', Im cookin'...

I'm on the roll.

What's the matter with you?

Boo!

Where is dad?

I don't know, office maybe...

-Whitley!

-Oh, now I have you.

I got you! Got you, baby!

What's the problem, the computer or you?

Today was everything, I tell you.

It was full scale revolution, total war...

Terrible day.

What a day, what a day, what a...!

Hey hey, what's the matter?

Give me a kiss!

There is something wrong with you?

I had such a terrible day.

First the computer turnes off,

then the wolf painting jumps off the wall.

It attacks me without provocation.

Then your mother calls that toilet explodes.

The duck I'm cooking tries to tell me

how to live my life.

The computer completely erased itself

when it turned off.

No wonder that I can't write my great

American novel.

Is this mean you're too tired

to go to the country?

No, it is simply not.

What did you loose?

I lost... you know, I lost another day, what I lost

was gold, golden notions... erased small dreams,

phantoms...

What I crave is... you know

...consolation.

Oh, brother...

You know, it could be the computer

turned off for a reason.

Why would that be?

It could be...

I felt that the book I'm...

working on is no good.

What why you do that to yourself?

It was a rotten accident.

-Once the duck...

-We'll get go out of fire stairs?

Not again...

-Give me something.

-Here, here. - Just give me something.

You got need some water.

...something to put on it.

I need to turn it off.

What the code is?

664... 6664...?

-It's 18-... 57

-Don't... don't... don't...! Please!

The year we were married.

Don't... The red light is on!

Oh no...

Remember what happened last time.

Oh God... do you get the door?

I'm sorry, we get...

we get the little...

small catastrophy...

What's the matter?

What isn't the matter,

will you look at this?

Open the window.

Get some air in here.

Could you save me? I married this.

Open the window over there, please!

We are not going to the country, right?

I know, the last time...

-That's it, heh?

-That's it.

Hi, Al.

-That's the fire?

-It's just food. Food.

The duck.

Really?

That.... burned the duck.

891 Feetstreet...

-It shouldn't happen...

-23, repeat, is a 23...

-You've been warned before.

-I know. I'm sorry.

You'll receive your summons

in the mail.

-This stuff is so sensitive...

-200 dollars.

No, stop!

New policies.

It just goes off, I don't know what happened...

Thank you.

-Back to the station!

-Thank you!

Let your wife cook.

Dad, turn this thing off!

-They had me, dad.

Nightmares do that. You know, sometimes, I mean...

If it didn't do that, that wouldn't be a nightmare... You know what I mean?

Daddies... daddies get the boys back, right?

Yeah...

Do you know any indian hunting songs?

Do you know the old buffalo hunting song?

...and cocktails for two.

That's a good boy.

Go to sleep.

He was yelling, you didn't hear

he was yelling.

-You were yelling? Where was I?

-He had some bad dream I told you.

I had a bad dream too.

I was some sound of sleep...

I... I was asleep.

You were out. Like a log.

He said something was after him, some spider, huh?

Like a spider from last night?

It was real, dad.

Worst dream you ever had.

It wasn't a dream.

I'm not surprised about you, Whit.

You ate away till this

table last night.

I didn't eat to get up the stairs.

What's a good thing it was nothing. I wonder...

I pay fortune for this equipment.

Some animal must to set it all.

How do you sleep?

Well...

We saw a lot of light last night.

Whitley has that machine finally tuned.

Mosquito did set it all.

No, really there were a lot of lights,

it was very hard to sleep.

It's been the light from the bathroom.

No, it was light there came in from outside.

I can't believe you didn't see it,

it was like day.

I thought there was a fire outside,

in fact.

I came downstairs, you know...

there was light... it was this light.

But then... it must...

The flood lights were on there...

it was the moon maybe.

We were all dreaming, you know, on the moon

we all got involve in the same dream.

It wasn't the moon.

So was a dream.

This whole place was flooded

with the light from above.

It wasn't a dream.

So was the moon.

Oh, it wasn't the moon.

And it wasn't a dream.

I'm telling it what we saw.

Well...

So, why don't you have your usual huge

portion of... banana cakes?

Aromatic component...

OK. I want to go home.

I'm sorry, I'm not angry.
