Haunting Of Winchester House Page #3

---

The song, the song.

The dream.

Help me to remember.

Will you sing for me?

That was great.

Hi, kids.

Honey, I couldn't believe it.|What a transformation.

Thanks, but please stop.

-Don't be home too late.|-Okay. Thanks.

Okay, okay.

-lnteresting rewrite you did there.|-I did my best.

Your acting didn't suck either.

-Gotta go. Take it easy, man.|-Okay.

-Landon, you were marvelous!|-Thank you.

Landon? Fine performance, son.

-What are you doing here?|-I thought we'd get a bite.

-I'm not hungry.|-Don't walk away.

You taught me how.

Oh, my God.

Look who's here.

Don't look at him.

You don't want to stare too much.

I guess he doesn't want|to sit with us.

-People can see.|-That would ruin your reputation how?

What's that?

I'm reading books on Rothman's list|of contemporary American authors.

-And how many books are there?|-A hundred.

But then there's his British list|and his European list.

So is this on your list,|to read all these books?

Jamie, I'm trying here, okay?

Maybe....

Maybe I miss spending time with you.

-Maybe you inspire me.|-Sounds like bull.

-Which part?|-All of it.

-It's not.|-Prove it.

Jamie!

-You've no idea how to be a friend.|-I don't just want that.

-You don't know what you want.|-You're scared someone wants you.

-Why would that scare me?|-You couldn't hide behind books...

...or your fricking telescope,|or your faith.

No. You know the real reason|why you're scared?

It's because you want|to be with me too.

We gonna get this party jumping!

Can you turn down Soul Train?|Some of us are trying to work.

You really know how|to bust a robot's groove.

It's all good because we'll get Club|Landon and Club Eric jumping now.

What we got here?

Okay, okay, you're not feeling my|hip-hop, but what the hell is this?

Jamie lent it to me.

You're listening|to her people's music.

-Her people?|-Yeah...

...her Bible-hugging,|crucifix-wearing...

...honk-if-you-love-Jesus people.

-She's not like that.|-Well...

...you got Belinda thinking|that little lip action...

...between you and Jamie|was kind of real.

What's with you? You don't have time|for your real friends anymore.

I don't know, buddy. I'm just over it.

I'm sick and tired of doing|the same sh*t all the time.

This girl's changed you,|and you don't even know it, man.

-Let me guess, Belinda say that too?|-No.

I did.

You.

Me.

What is it?

I got you something.

Thank you.

Well, I'll see you at school.

Okay.

-Mr. Carter.|-Later, Reverend.

Boys like that...

...they have....

They have expectations.

The rules around here|aren't going to change.

Fine.

You might not care|what I say or think...

...but you should care|about God's opinion.

I think he wants me to be happy.

Dad, it's just a sweater.

I'm going to make us|some dinner, okay?

I talked to your dad today.

Said he saw you at the play|for about 10 seconds.

Sending a check once a month doesn't|exactly make him a father.

-Landon, there are a lot of reasons--|-He left us.

You need to forgive him too.

Jamie Sullivan! Oh, me, oh, my,|look at Jamie Sullivan.

She was looking all right|in that play.

She doesn't look hot.

Yeah, I would have to say during|the play, she looked hot.

I have the best idea.

Can you do something, like, move it?

Maybe move it around|a little something here.

Take one.

Let me stop it for a second.|Check it out.

Hey, look at this.

Here.

Take one. Look.

-Jamie. Hi.|-Hi.

Listen, I just want you to know,|no hard feelings.

Landon and I are way over.

I really don't know|what you're talking about.

You'd be so beautiful...

...if you knew how to do your makeup.

-Come on, eat lunch with me.|-Okay.

-Want a Tic Tac?|-No, thanks.

Okay.

Wow.

Is that you?

Nice bod.

Look, this is about me, okay?|This is not you.

Stay here.

Hey, man, no wonder you been|keeping her locked up.

I had no idea this was|underneath all that.

-Dean, stop!|-You stay out of this!

-We're through. We're through.|-That's great.

-We're through forever!|-You okay?

-You made a mistake, Landon!|-You sure?

Let's get out of here.

Hey! You're a little chickenshit!

Baby, I'm sorry. Okay?

They're animals, all right?

You want me to take you home?

Let's get out of here.

-Are you sure you're okay?|-I'm fine.

-Thank you for everything.|-You're welcome.

-I want to ask you something.|-Okay.

Will you go out with me|on Saturday night?

I'm sorry. I can't go.

-You have something else going on?|-No.

-It's not that.|-Then what is it?

I'm not allowed to date.

"Do not be deceived.|God is not mocked.

Whatever a man sows,|that he will also reap.

For he who sows to his flesh,|will of the flesh reap--"

-Can I help you?|-Yes, sir.

I'd like to ask your daughter|to dinner on Saturday night.

That's not possible.

With all due respect, sir,|I ask you to reconsider.

With all due respect, Mr. Carter,|I made my decision.

You can exit the way you entered.

I'm sorry I haven't treated|Jamie the way I should have.

She deserves more than that.

I'm asking you for the same thing...

...you teach us every day in church.

And that's faith.

I can't believe you asked permission.

It's no big deal.|He was cool about it, anyway.

-Thank you.|-This is for you.

-Thank you very much.|-Would you like something to drink?

-Sweet tea, please.|-Make that two.

Right away.

This place is really nice.|Is this okay?

-Don't even worry about it, okay?|-Okay.

Choose whatever you want.

So, what'll it be?

Is everything okay?

-Thank you very much.|-Yeah, me too. Thanks.

Would you like to dance?

Sorry, I don't dance.

Me neither. I mean, not usually|in front of anybody.

Well, no. I mean, I don't at all.|As in, I can't.

Everybody can dance.

Come on, you can't be that bad.

Please?

For me?

Come on.

Sorry, I told you I was bad at this.

-ln all fairness, you warned me, right?|-That's right.

So, what's number one on your list?

Okay.

Number one on my list|is getting out of Beaufort.

Getting out won't be your problem.

It's more like figuring out what to do|when you get somewhere.

What do you mean?

I mean, you can do anything.

-Where are we going?|-Just hold on, you'll see.

Come on, come on. Let's go!

-What are we doing?|-Run!

-Okay, okay. Stand there.|-All right.

-One foot there, and one foot here.|-Okay.

You're acting crazy. What's going on?

Right now, you're straddling|the state line.

Okay.

You're in two places at once.

Okay, butterfly, rosebud or star?

You choose.

-Butterfly.|-Okay.

Where do you want it?

Right here.

Okay.

How can you see places like this...

...and have moments like this,|and not believe?

You're lucky to be so sure.

It's like the wind.

I can't see it, but I feel it.

What do you feel?

I feel wonder and beauty...

...joy, love.

I mean, it's the center of everything.

I might kiss you.

I might be bad at it.

That's not possible.

I love you.

Now would be the time|to say something.

I told you not to fall in love with me.

Jamie. Say good night to Mr. Carter.

Landon, go home. The night's over.
