get the house back.

But my boss wouldn't let me.

Are you gonna stand here on my porch

and lie to my face?

No.

You used to be a real fat girl,

didn't you?

Ya

- I can tell.

You're not welcome here.

Wait...I need to see her,

I need her to forgive me.

And I'll get her the house back.

And you gonna make everything alright

for her, is that it?

Yes.

Come on.

Where is she?

Get off me!

Get off me!

Still gonna make everything alright

for her?

You deserve everything that's coming to!

I beleive what plagues you is Lamia

Lamia, that's the word the old woman used.

"The Black Goat"

Only summoned by the Gypsies

for their darkest deeds.

For the first 3 Days, the Lamia appears as a...

..nasty spirit that torments it's victim.

After that it reveals itself to be a

taker of souls.

And comes for the owner of

the cursed object.

Cursed object?

What object?

Something taken from the victim,

cursed and given back.

This?

What if I just burn it?

Am afraid, no matter what condition

the button is in,

You would still be the owner.

Alamia would still come to take you

- Take me where?

Then how do I get rid of this?

You could attempt to appease the spirit

The simplest way would be a blood offering.

A small creature could be sacrified.

Ah..a chicken perhaps...

No way!

Look, I'm a vegetarian.

I volunteered..

it's a puppy shelter for Christ's sake!

I'm not going around killing animals!

You will be surprised,

what you'll be willing to do...

..when Lamia comes for you.

This will show you, how.

Hi!

Here, Kitty, Kitty.

Here, Kitty, Kitty.

Chris.

Chris?

Chris?

Hey, there you are!

What you doing out here?

Baby, I called the bank and they said

you left early...

And your not answering my calls!

Is that blood?

No!

Why would there be blood?

Baby, there's blood on your sleeve.

Oh, no...it was just tomato juice.

I was cutting tomato in the kitchen and

it must have gotten on my sleeve.

Hey Chris, Why don't we do

this dinner another time?

You had a rough couple of days,

I feel it's better.

No, I..I want to go to the dinner.

- I know, but...

You sure, you feeling alright?

Honestly..I haven't been.

But I think...I think everything's

gonna be ok now.

I really do.

What do you think?

You look beautiful.

Gosh, it's such a nice day.

- Ya, it really is.

Would be nice inside too.

They gonna love you.

Clay! Hi, mother!

Good to see you.

This is Christine

this is my mom, Trudy.

Hello, Christine. - Hello.

It's very nice to meet you.

Please, come in.

Come in.

Hey, Dad! - Hey, son!

How are you? Good to see you.

This is Christine

Christine, this is my dad, Leonard.

You have a beautiful home

- Oh, thank you very much.

Can I get you a drink?

- Wine?

Sure.

Come down.

I'll be right back.

I'll take a Chardonnay.

- Yes, dear.

I hope you do not mind.

- Oh, how thoughtful.

Home-made?

- Yes.

What type of cake you would call that?

- It's called...a Harvest cake.

Something...you make in a farm?

- No...

I mean not anymore,

we used to...

When we had a gaggle of geese.

Geese?

Well, right around the harvest time,

Thats when the goose eggs will

make a real dense yolk..

Makes for a rich cake.

Well, just...thank you.

Hey, here we are..

Sorry..

Why don't you join us

in the dining room?

- Yeah, let's go.

Ok.

Oh, Jesus!

Hecuba?

Never did understand that damned animal.

Hate cats.

That is so strange!

Hecuba is usually very sweet.

Oh, that's okay.

I had a cat, I understand.

We have a cat.

What you mean? It's not like

something's happened to him.

How am I supposed to now?

You know how cats are.

They come and they go.

That's true.

Well, let's...

- Yes, yes, please.

So how's the coin collection, son?

It's my dad's favorite topic.

I see, he's still a...

Huh!

It's good, it's good.

Infact, Christine just got me a 1929

Standing Liberty quarter at a bank.

Really?

- Isn't that crazy?

That's rare.

Oh, I just think that job of bank teller

must be so difficult?

With all counting and repetition,

you must get very tedious.

Yes, you're right.

But I'm not a teller.

Oh? - Yeah mom, I thought

I told you, Christine's a loan officier.

Handles other loans for small businesses

and homes for banks...

And she's expecting promotion, so...

Right, Chris ?

If I can close this one account,

I'm working on. It would really help.

That must be a very important loan

- It's the biggest my branch

has ever handled!

And how did that come to you?

Well, I was reading the

Wall Street journal...

And came cross this medical supply company

that was looking to expand...

..but didn't have the liquidity.

So, I met up with their CFO and

presented a formula...

..for re-structuring some of their

long-term acts.

Sounds-like you got luck's going

for you, Christine.

Well, your mother must be

very proud of you.

- I suppose.

I don't see much of my mother.

- Why is that?

Well, it's..it's...her personal..

I'm speaking to Christine.

Well, ever since my dad died,

she doesn't talk much...

She just stays in the farm and

keeps to herself.

Because...

Because?

Because...her husband died, mom,

she wants to be by herself.

Why don't...

- Because my mother is an alcoholic.

I'm sorry.

It's certainly nothing to be ashamed of.

I have to say, I find your honesty

very refreshing.

My father had a drinking problem.

I was always too ashamed to admit it.

You got backbone.

Not like that last girl you brought by.

What was her name?

- Alice.

We don't have to..

- Alicia.

- Alicia.

She was dreadful, Christine.

She was ill-mannered, no amibition at all.

Well, they met on the internet.

- What is that?

"They met on the internet", really?

What does that mean?

May I beat it out of him?

- No, not at all.

- Thank you very much.

You know, I think, I would try some of

that cake of yours.

You only..you only just like it, if you hate

delicious things.

Harvest cake, huh?

- That's right.

Must get this recipe.

- Not so sweet, isn't?

Did you hear something?

- No.

You, ok?

I like that a lot.

- I do like that.

And mom, you sure I met her

on the Internet?

It was bit misleading...

You have to find her a mate.

You can't even trust things that

you hear or...

..people that write about themselves.

- Very nice!

And pictures are false half the time.

Is that true?

Ya, it's true..

- I don't think it's a misconception..

..to think that people of good breeding

and success

..should be able to make potential...

in realistic situations, isn't it?

Would you, Christine?

No, no !

Ofcourse, no.

But, but..we did, remember the bar, Chris?

What you talking about.

Oh my God, that's right.

- Sh*t.

...is straight.

It's not a...., mom.

It's a bar.

Yeah, we heard that!

- So, met at the bar.

We set-up the date on the internet.

You, ok?

Ok?

Here, have some...

....on the wrong plate.

Oh, my God!

Sorry, I didn't..

I din't...

Okay, I hear you!

Leave me alone,

just leave the hell alone!
