Neighbors Page #7

Synopsis: One man's quiet suburban life takes a sickening lurch for the worse when a young couple move into the deserted house next door. From the word go it is obvious these are not the quiet professional types who *should* be living in such a nice street. As more and more unbelievable events unfold, our hero starts to question his own sanity... and those of his family.

- I can't hear you.

I'll call you next week. Don't forget

to mail my allowance. Bye.

See you later, wart-head.

Bye, Daddy.

Where are you going?

Oh, I have an emergency meeting of my

Native American art study circle.

- Where'd that getup come from?

- It was a present.

Oh, that must be Mr. Thundersky.

- Mr. Thundersky?

- My ride.

- Who the hell is that?

- Don't wait up. Bye.

Hello. I'm Charles Haults, president

of Spruce Hill Memorial Chapels.

For over 50 years, West Valley

families have trusted Spruce Hill...

...with the interment and care

of their loved ones.

Now, Spruce Hill Park

and Spruce Hill Monuments...

...join to offer you a modern concept

in funeral aftercare.

For the entombment

you've always dreamed of...

...Spruce Hill now introduces

an exclusive...

...aboveground display chamber.

Spruce Hill's aboveground

entombment utilises a method called...

...uniform Plexiglas enclosure.

It ensures permanent preservation...

...so your loved ones will be able

to see clearly and vividly...

...the object of their grief, forever.

Visit Spruce Hill's

Aboveground display chamber.

The time to choose your case is now.

Ramona!

I see you still have

the same old wallpaper.

Hey.

You two make a sharp couple.

You wouldn't believe it.

It happened at the same time.

Vic stared at me. I stared at him.

We both knew it was wrong.

It's just not gonna be any fun

without you.

Honest? Does that mean you'll stay?

- We've got plenty of room.

- No, no. We're past that.

- You're coming with us.

- Really?

Me come with you?

No, you don't mean it.

Sure we mean it. It'll be a blast.

Come on, let's go. We're getting old.

- The dishwasher's on.

- It'll stay on.

All right, damn it. You're on.

Let's do it.

This is crazy, but there's something

so right about it. Let's go.

- Hold it. Not so fast, pal.

- What?

Don't you think you should

leave a note for Enid?

You're right. In fact, I'll leave

a little more than just a note.

No, no, no. Up front,

right next to Captain Vic.

- Where are we going?

- How should I know?

You tell me. I'm just driving.

- Off into the land of the great unknown.

- Look.

You weren't kidding. You really are

leaving a little more than a note.

Well, Enid never did like to come home

to a dark house.
