House of 9 Page #3

Don't worry about him,

he'll be OK.

He's alone.

Dogs know how to take care

of themselves, you know?

It's like a bad dream.

Look with compassion, Father...

on the whole human family...

and take away our arrogance

and our hatred...

which infects our hearts...

and break down the walls

that separate us...

and unite us in bonds of love...

and work through our confusion

and our struggle...

to accomplish your purposes

on this Earth.

In the name of the Father,

the Son and the Holy Ghost.

Amen, Father.

There's no room.

It's too hot.

Plus someone's watching.

That's a lot of money.

The kind of money your

family used to have.

I'm not prepared to kill

to get it back.

Well...

the last few years you haven't been

prepared to do anything about that.

I can't believe you said that!

You haven't made any money

since before we got married!

I'm an artist.

Whatever.

You didn't turn the light off.

Happy?

Merci.

Sh*t!

- Who was just in here?

- What are you talking about?

Somebody was just in here

looking for this!

- Lf it wasn't him it was you!

- Why me?

Because it wasn't one

of the girls, was it?

Put that down!

- I wouldn't know what to do with it!

- Well, he would!

Would what?

Oh yeah, I get it. All us blacks

are the same, aren't we?

You see him busting a cap

on somebody's ass?

You know, I've had

enough of your sh*t!

Put away the gun and

let's go now, come on!

- Why is no one asking him?

- Me?

- Yes!

- No, he was with me!

Well, maybe you're just saying

that because he's your husband!

I'm not a liar!

Well, maybe someone else is

in here with us!

- No, it's impossible.

- That only leaves one.

What's everyone coming down

on me for?

- It's not 'cause you're black, mate!

- Listen, what would you know?

- Twenty-year-old white b*tch!

- F*** you!

Shut up!

- What are you two talking about?

- English, speak English!

- What the hell do you care?

- You're not in France now, alright?

Please! We must keep our

differences out of the equation.

For you Father, yeah.

F*** this bullshit! You expect me

to sleep in this house?

It's not going to work,

you know.

I know how desperate people get

in these situations. I've seen it.

So have I.

Keep the faith in humankind.

Has someone turned

the heat up in here?

There is no control.

- I've looked all over.

- Great!

None of us understand

what's happening.

None of us know why

we're here or what for...

but we have to accept we're

all reluctant neighbors.

I don't think it's fair we don't

know what you're talking about!

Yeah, what are you plotting?

Listen, I said to you

speak English!

- What did he say?

- What are you so paranoid about?

Just let him speak French.

What do you mean what am I

paranoid about? I got good reason.

Now you see, this is

what I'm talking about.

You need to learn to do unto others

as you'd have them do unto you.

Look Father, no offence,

right...

but the second you start quoting

the Bible at me I switch off.

- Amen.

- Speak for yourselves!

No, no, no, no, she's right.

I need to learn to be in touch

with each one of you differently.

The only thing I need to get through

this is in the drinks cabinet.

And some more food.

You know, that's it!

I told you already, speak English!

What's wrong with you?

- Speak English, man!

- What's up, home boy?

What?

Home boy?

What are you talking about?

Hey, wait!

What was that?

- What?

- Listen.

The tag, they found you!

Wait, wait!

What is it?

Over there!

Open up!

Open the f***ing door!

- Open up! Open up!

- Open the door!

Cover your ears!

Open up!

Help!

- Shut up!

- Open the f***ing door!

I don't wanna die!

Hey!

Welcome to the party.

Here.

- Sorry, sorry.

- Sorry.

- I can't stand this music.

- No, I just wanted to get away.

It's crazy.

So you're a dancer.

A Chorus girl?

Yeah, yeah.

I've done a lot of work

for the theatre myself.

Really?

Like what?

In Europe mostly.

You know, we do it in quite

a different way there.

- I think your wife's really upset.

- Oh yes, she is.

Sorry.

Let me turn this sh*t off!

It's depressing me.

What's wrong?

Come on!

- Come on!

- Francis is going to see you.

Do you really think

I'm scared of your husband?

He don't take care of his

baby anyway, now come here!

- Stop it!

- Come on!

What do you think

you are doing?

- Francis!

- Shut up, right?

- We were just having fun!

- Fun?

What's your problem?

No! No!

Stop it!

No!

Stop!

Back off!

Cynthia?

Cynthia!

You had to do it,

didn't you?

Listen, they both came at me.

I just tried to push her off me

and she tried...

Shut up!

In the name of the Father,

the Son and the Holy Ghost.

God have mercy on us all.

Sh*t.

Let's move.

I said let's move!

Move!

Is this what you wanted?

Please, for God's sake,

you can stop this now...

before anyone else

has to suffer!

Stay there.

Open the f***ing door!

You can't do this sh*t!

My jacket's in there!

I didn't mean to hit

the b*tch, man!

She came at me!

We're going to start to ration.

He's sent even less food this time.

Good idea.

It's getting hotter in here

all the time.

I know. I need to wash these,

they stink!

My f***ing food!

I want my food

and I want it now!

We can't keep doing this

to him.

Yes, we can.

He's a criminal.

Innocent until

proven guilty, officer.

And I found him guilty.

I'm not taking

any more chances.

Well then, why should we

even trust each other?

- We're rationing some more.

- Of course.

Are you alright, Francis?

Yeah.

- Would you shut the f*** up?

- F*** you, b*tch!

Why don't you come in

here and...

- You can't starve him, Jay.

- Why not? It gives us more.

Just give him something!

Fine. I'll give him

what he deserves.

Here.

Are you f***ing taking the piss?

Hey, feed me!

- That's bullshit, man.

- You think so?

Where's the priest?

No!

- No! Stop it!

- F*** you!

Get away!

F***ing cop!

Stop!

Get away!

I don't know what to do.

I don't know.

They call me

the Lord of Peace...

but I've come to cast wars

and cause divisions...

for only God, the world, can

the world itself be set afire...

for I am the fire,

I am the light...

I am the light that is

above them all.

I am the all,

the all is ordained to Me...

and they all came forth

from Me.

Who is near to Me

is near to fire...

and whoever's far from Me

is far from the kingdom.

In the name of the Father, the Son

and the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Gird up your loins here now...

which part of the night

the robbers are coming in.

If you want to slay a path for men

take the sword in your hand...

and thrust it through the walls

of your own house first.

In God's name...

God help me in my

hour of weakness...

help me find my strength.

In Your blessing, Father.

- Good work!

- What's that supposed to mean?

- Why is there so much more?

- It's a reward.

- For what?

- For killing.

- That can't be why.

- Why else then?

- No way, that's awful!

- Who cares why, it's more.
