House Hunting Page #5

---

Yeah.

[footsteps]

Just wait a second.

Whatever happens here,

I want you to know...

no one thought your mother

was gonna kill herself, OK?

What do you mean?

I mean your father and I were

seeing each other for a year

before your mother died.

Why are you telling me this?

I thought you should know.

When your father told

your mother about us...

he couldn't have known

what she was gonna do.

Right?

My dad says

she met someone else.

No.

Your father was worried

about a messy divorce.

Maybe she was, too.

You little b*tch!

If I had known I was gonna

have to put up with you,

I would have thought twice about

marrying your f***ing father!

I'll do it. I will!

Do it.

That's her!

[roars]

CHARLIE:
Hello?

Hello?

Is there somebody there?

Well.

Are you just gonna stand there?

Have you...

been here...

the whole time?

I need to get us out of here.

There are bigger issues

to deal with at the moment.

Really?

[laughing]

Oh, yeah.

What?

Susan is gonna tell Emmy

about Diane.

She doesn't know.

Maybe she figured it out.

I never told her.

I never told anyone.

It was an accident, right?

You wanted out.

We wanted Susan.

It looked like a suicide.

We got a second chance.

And now Susan is going to

tell Emmy the truth,

Emmy won't be able to take it.

And then there's the girl.

What about her?

Well, she isn't part

of this family.

There won't be any help

till all the problems

in that house are dealt with.

Emmy?

What happened?

You said Mom met someone.

What really happened?

Did Susan do this?

What did she tell you?

It was an accident.

What was?

I had nothing to do with it.

With what?

It's all going to be OK.

Once we clear all this up...

we can leave.

Susan!

What are you doing?

I'm getting out of here.

How?

I'm going to walk.

What did you tell Emmy?

Let me go.

You b*tch.

You wanted this, Charlie.

You're gonna have to pay for it.

You?

I didn't put them there.

-Then how did they get there?

-I don't know!

You're taking food

out of my daughter's mouth...

I said I did not put them there!

I don't care about

your precious daughter.

Get off of me!

What did you do?

You just got to understand.

She was gonna destroy us.

Did you kill her?

We're this much closer

to being able to leave.

There's only the girl now.

Don't you trust me?

When you said "an accident,"

what did you mean?

Why, are you afraid?

Please?

It's you and me, kiddo.

We've got to stick together.

We don't even know

who this girl is.

What did you mean

about an accident?

Did you mean Mom?

Emmy.

Come here.

Leave the girl.

She cannot go with us.

Please, Dad!

Get back.

Emmy.

I'm your father.

I know what's right.

She's part of this.

You have to let me handle it.

Emmy.

Do not make me angry.

Hmm?

Do you know what

I just did for you?

She was taking the food,

taking the food

out of my daughter's mouth.

I could not have that happen.

I would never let

anyone hurt you.

Just stay right there!

Emmy!

Dad!

Emmy!

BOY:
Hey.

Emmy.

Emmy!

You shouldn't be out here,

it's not safe.

Emmy!

Emmy!

Emmy.

Emmy.

No, Dad!

Don't worry, I'm gonna

take care of everything.

No, don't!

Just do it.

No!

[gunshot]

Look.

Look.

I was right.

I was right.

Help me!

MAN:
Is she OK?

Are you all right?

WOMAN:
Are you OK?

Can you speak?

Be careful.

MAN:
Watch her head.

Come on, come on, come on.

Come on.

Sweetheart, sweetheart,

is there someone after you?

MAN:
We're all right now.

Hey, hey, hey,

whoa, whoa, whoa, relax!

EMMY:
Please!

MAN 1:
You're all right now,

you're all right now.

Is there someone after you?

MAN 2:
We found her on the road.

MAN 3:
Hey, who's that?

There's somebody.

MAN 1:
Hey, mister!

BOY:
She's back, Daddy.

No!

Stop!

[screams]

[screaming stops]

Taking fruit from the tree

Even scavengers need to eat

Let the boatman walk through

the River Styx

But your company

Is a broken down sideshow

But you seem nice

So you lead and I'll go

Silk sheets on everything

Oh, you're never

gonna want to leave

Opulent and decadent

So come with me

Oh, you're never

gonna want to leave

Trust a stranger

not to mislead

So we learn the way

Through the comfort

of a palisade

Trust a stranger

not to mislead

So what's cool in this town?

Showing girls

like you around

I should go

You know how

they hate to wait

Oh, you're right

where you should be

And now you're never, ever

gonna leave

Vice and virtue

fall from the tree

So stay with me

Oh, you're never, ever

gonna leave

Trust a stranger

not to mislead
