Lisa Johnson.
Lisa!
Me and Edgar found
the pirate treasure.
Meet us down in the secret cave.
We're gonna spend all
Sunday morning...
Hey, watch out for blinky, okay?
He always traps
you on your left.
Don't!
Lisa, you messed up my game!
Here's your walkie.
Stop waking me up with it, brat.
Edgar left it, not me.
Well, tell Edgar he's annoying.
You tell him.
He's your imaginary friend.
He's not imaginary.
Lisa, go down to the basement and
start the laundry, will you?
I did it yesterday,
you just don't
remember me doing it.
Stop being a smart aleck.
Buster brown, where's
your glasses?
I lost them.
Well, find them, pronto.
Lisa, have you decided where we're
gonna go for your birthday tomorrow?
Ask me tomorrow.
Okay. Well, I hope we get there,
'cause the car's not running.
Your dad's been trying to fix it all day.
He won't fix it.
Laundry, please.
Cold water only. The hot
wears out the clothes.
I don't think it's possible
for our clothes to wear out,
ever.
Cold water.
Lisa.
Not a smart idea to go anywhere
today, pal, with all this fog.
Stay inside, okay?
Play some games with Robbie or
practice your clarinet.
I'm sure everyone else
in the neighborhood
is staying inside today, too.
Even the phones are out.
Something wrong Lis?
Hmm?
No.
No.
Everything's fine.
I mean, you wouldn't
believe me anyway so...
This is the story of Peter
and the wolf.
Early one morning, Peter opened
the gate and went out into
the big, green meadow.
Lisa!
Come downstairs, will you?
Your father and I
want to have a talk.
Your mom says
you've been acting kind of
funny all morning.
Funny how?
Well, for one thing,
some clothes are missing
from the laundry.
Do you know where they are?
Honestly, I really don't know
where they went.
The truth is, they're
gone every day.
And what does that mean,
"gone every day"?
Okay,
it's like mom's pancakes.
Every morning, she makes them
for breakfast, and you're always
trying to fix the car, which for
some mysterious reason has
always stopped running.
Then, Mac and cheese for lunch.
Then, we have meat loaf
for dinner every night.
And at 8:
00, we watch,"murder, she wrote" and go to
bed, wake up tomorrow, and
do the exact same thing.
Well, you and Robbie have school
tomorrow, and I have work, so...
There is no school.
There is no work.
And what about your birthday?
That's not tomorrow either?
No.
Never comes.
It's always the day
before I turn 16.
It's pretty frustrating.
I'm really trying to
understand where this is
all coming from, pal.
Are... are you bored
with your life?
Is that it?
I mean, are you anxious
about something?
- Is it a boy?
- No, no, mum! God, no!
You just don't understand it,
like, at all!
Well, explain it to us.
Maybe we can understand.
That's the thing,
is that I have tried to
explain it many times,
and you guys just never remember
and you don't believe me.
Believe what?
That we're stuck in this house
and we're never gonna leave.
Why?
Because all of us...
Shut up, Lisa, shut up!
Enough is enough, Lisa!
Shh.
Hey, hey.
It's okay, buckaroo.
Shh.
Your sister is just
playing a silly game.
Lisa, you tell your brother
that everything is okay.
Lisa?
the clarinet in my room.
Let me know when the Mac
and cheese is ready.
Safe-deposit key...
is that what you were looking
for, captain downing?
Or should I say, Mr. downing
or whatever your name is?
Lisa Johnson.
Me and Edgar found
the pirate treasure.
Meet us down in the secret cave.
We're gonna spend all
Sunday morning there.
Lisa?
Go downstairs to the basement
and start the laundry, will you?
I did it yesterday.
You just don't
remember me doing it.
Stop being a smart aleck.
Hey, Charlie brown,
where's your glasses?
I don't know.
Well, find them, pronto.
Lisa, have you decided where we're
gonna go for your birthday tomorrow?
Ask me tomorrow.
Well, I hope we get there,
because the car's not running.
Your dad's been trying
to fix it all day.
Laundry, please.
Cold water only.
Hot wears out the clothes.
Thank you.
Thank you, and welcome to the
white house.
In a moment, I will be
sitting at that desk,
taking up a pen
and signing the most
sweeping overhaul of the tax
code in the nation's history.
To all of you here today,
who've worked so hard and long
to see this day come, my thanks.
And the thanks of a
nation go out to you.
They haven't made this the
freest country and the mightiest
economic force on this planet
by shrinking from challenges.
They never gave up.
commitment and hard work...
"The impossible became
the inevitable."
Early one morning,
Peter opened the gate and went out
into the big, green meadow.
Lisa
Did you wash everything
in this load?
Some clothes are missing.
Yeah, I know.
So, where are they?
I don't know, mom. Okay?
Those clothes are missing,
like, every single day.
Come downstairs, will you?
Your father and I
want to have a talk.
Your mom says
you've been acting kind
of funny all morning.
...Captain downing?
Or should I say, Mr. downing?
Lisa Johnson.
Me and Edgar found
the pirate treasure.
Meet us down in the secret cave.
We're gonna spend all
Sunday morning there.
Lisa?
Sweetheart, pancakes are ready!
And...
We're in focus.
Okay.
Our new home.
We're in focus. Okay.
Our new home.
We're in focus.
Our new home.
Who are you?
Hello?
Is anybody here?
Was that you playing
the clarinet?
Are you trying to contact me?
Are you dead?
Are you... Alive?
Lisa?
What?
What are you doing up there?
Nothing.
Some clothes are missing
from the laundry.
Do you know where they are?
No.
Well, they went somewhere.
Okay, just give me a second.
Well, Bruce, if you get the
car fixed, I'd love it if you
could go and get a few groceries.
Okay.
Well, I'm working on it.
So I have no idea where to start
with it,
but I am working on it.
Mom, can I go play with Edgar?
What about chocolate
ice cream for dessert?
Me and Edgar will both
have double scoops.
No. You will each
have one scoop.
Go ahead, Mr. Magoo.
Lisa, you haven't even touched
your meat loaf.
Meat is murder.
What's the matter, Lis?
Since when do you smoke?
Sorry?
That's not part of the routine.
I've never seen
you smoke before.
Your father always smokes
after dinner, but he's gonna quit.
Right, Bruce?
Absolutely.
A scoop for you tonight, honey?
- What's wrong with two scoops?
- God, you're as bad as Robbie.
One or two scoops for you, Lisa?
Where's dad and Robbie?
Uh, your father is in the
garage fixing the car, and
Robbie's up in his room
playing video games.
What about "murder, she wrote"?
Oh, sweetheart, do you
mind watching it upstairs?
I just... I really want
to finish this chapter.
I know. I know, I know.
See if I can get this
son of a b*tch working.
I don't know.
I don't know why it won't work.
I just don't.
