Paranormal Activity 2 Page #3

Synopsis: Daniel Rey along with his wife, Kristi; daughter, Ali; toddler son, Hunter, and their dog, move to Carlsbad, California. A few days later their residence is broken into, however, nothing appears to be missing. In order to prevent re-occurrences, they install a number of security cameras that will record everything on a DVR. After they hire a Spanish-speaking nanny to look after Hunter, she informs them that there is something wrong in their house and performs prayers, much to the chagrin of Daniel, who lets her go. He will subsequently regret this decision as more inexplicable and strange incidents occur, with Ali concluding, after a research, that their house may be possessed by a demonic entity.

- Painting my nails, Dad.

Why are you in here?

What do you want?

- Sorry, crabby.

- I'm not crabby.

You're Crabby McRumpelstein.

- Why did I fire Martine?

- Yeah.

Because I didn't like her

doing all that weird

- witchy stuff around Hunter.

- It wasn't witchy.

It wasn't witchy...

It wasn't hurting anybody.

It made her feel better,

and she wanted to make us feel better.

She was, like, slaughtering goats

out by the pool, OK?

- No, she wasn't.

- All right.

Good luck and it's... Stay in the lines.

- What? Dad!

- Check it.

- On! Stop!

- Off.

Let me get one more. Oh!

Come here.

Come here, come on.

It's OK.

It's OK, buddy. It's OK.

No.

It's OK, buddy,

there's nothing there.

Is that what

woke you up, buddy?

Daniel!

Daniel?

God. Nasty.

- Dad, don't pick it up with your hands.

- Why not?

Because it could, like...

They can have diseases and stuff...

- It flew into the window...

- It's so sad.

I don't even want to look at it.

- What?

- Its neck is all broken.

Oh, my God,

just put it in the thing!

- I'm trying to...

- Why did you pick it up with tong...?

- I don't know.

- What do you think?

- Stop!

- Medium, medium rare?

- You're really mean.

- It's just a dead bird.

- Oh.

- It was a live bird. And then it...

- It's really sad.

- OK.

You like the ball? You like ball?

Ball, ball, hit it. Smack it!

What's in there? Get in.

What's in there?

Oh, buddy. Buddy, buddy, buddy, buddy.

Hunter? Oh, sh*t.

Hunter, come here! Come here.

F***!

What are you doing

back out here? Go.

Your dog does

not like pool cleaners.

Yo, what's the deal with your dog?!

Honestly, we're not really sure.

Splash, splash. One, two, three.

Splash, splash, splash.

This is the cutest thing

I've ever seen.

Splash, splash, splash.

I think I might definitely start to

replace my girlfriend with this camera.

- Uh-huh. See? We're scared.

- It's got more features.

Flip the thing, film yourself.

It flips. Oh, yeah, yeah.

- Oh, sh*t.

- Then it shows you...

No. I'm definitely

getting one of these.

I'll bet you guys go

extracurricular with this.

Who has time for that?

We've got a baby.

How's Daniel Rey

and his brood doing?

Oh, apparently, we have a ghost.

Did you hear about this?

I did not. Please elaborate,

'cause that's a very strange thing to...

A couple pots fell off our pot

hanger thing in the kitchen.

- You definitely have a ghost.

- Straight to ghost.

That's the most logical...

She thinks everything is, like,

a ghost or a... Don't you, honey?

What?

- Think everything is a ghost?

- You don't have a ghost.

- Yeah, you're definitely haunted.

- No.

You and your sister are, like, freaky...

- Katie, you're into this stuff?

- You don't know this stuff?

They used to do, like, sances

and sh*t when they were little.

- No!

- Yes.

We didn't do sances.

- No.

- Who'd you talk to?

You're making a mountain

out of a molehill.

- Katie...

- Babe, it was really no big deal.

- What's no big deal?

- I probably, you know,

I just don't talk about

this stuff anymore.

What stuff?

They used to do sances

when they were little kids.

It's really not that funny. You're

laughing. It's not a big deal, babe.

The truth is, when we were kids,

we got a little freaked out,

but it's really no big deal.

And we're having a good day

today, so let's just...

- We'll explore this in detail later.

- Let's focus...

What about the Lizzie Borden one?

The axe murderer one?

You're thinking

of every, like, childhood...

How, where do, how would I...

Back me up...

How would I know this stuff

if you didn't tell us?

What's your take

on this ghost situation?

I think it's awesome.

Jesus Christ!

F***!

F***! F***! F***!

There it is.

Ali!

- I thought we said good night, Brad!

- Yeah, no. We did...

- Get the f*** out of here right now!

- I'm not even here.

Ali, did you

leave the burner on?

No?

You almost burned the f***ing house...

Not cool, Brad.

How could I put it up wrong?

It's on a hook.

- Once it goes up, it's up.

- You were probably putting

it on the edge of the top part,

instead of inside.

The fact that it fell a second time

probably proves

- that you put it up wrong both times.

- OK.

You want me to show

you how to put it up?

No, no, no.

Then why are you putting

the pool cleaner

back in every morning?

For the last week?

'Cause it's a pool cleaner, and I want

it to clean the pool.

- How does it get out at night?

- How does it get out?

- Yeah.

- Is it taking the car? Is it...

Oh, come on, honey.

No, really.

I don't know. I assume somebody takes it

out when they go swimming.

I don't take it out,

and you don't take it out.

Ali, do you take the pool

cleaner out of the pool?

- What?

- Do you take the pool

- cleaner out of the pool?

- No.

What? So it's crawling

out of the pool?

It's crawling

out of the pool by itself?

I don't know. Let's...

You know what?

You wanted all the cameras.

Let's go check the DVR.

Fine, let's go check it.

- You serious?

- Yeah, I'm very serious.

We'll find out what else is going

around here at night.

- Can I tape it, though?

- Yeah.

- What?

- See?

That is weird.

Maybe I have it set too high

or something, I don't know.

No.

No, I don't, I don't think

the settings are off.

Maybe the settings are off.

That's what we got it for.

It's probably trying to be proactive.

Do the little patio.

It's like one of those

vacuum cleaner things you set up.

Yeah, it's like a Flowbee, but with...

I don't know if the house is

haunted, but I hope it is.

- You hope it is?

- Yeah.

Are you kidding me?

That would be f***ing awesome.

Why would you hope

that the house is haunted?

That'd be the coolest thing ever.

If there was somebody trying to,

like, get through to us,

- that would be amazing.

- No, I just...

Kristi is obviously not sleeping.

Dude.

She doesn't have any...

Her hormones are all kooky.

She's got... paranoid mommy...

...just interpreting them

in the wrong way.

Like, she's seeing them as,

as harmful and dangerous.

And maybe we should just see them

as something trying to, like...

Like, I think we should have a sance.

- We could go full out... What?

- That's a great idea.

Just freaky. I don't...

I don't believe in it.

Why do you think that it necessarily

has to be bad, though?

That's all I'm asking.

- How would it be good?

- Like, what if it's Mom?

- Hey, guys.

- What?

There's something you need to see.

- What are you talking about?

- What's going on?

- You're freaking me out.

- You have to see...

Honey, what are

you talking about?

What are... you talking about?

What is it?

- I don't see anything.

- I don't understand.

- Yeah!

- That's not funny.

Yeah!

Sweetie?

Come on,

that was kind of funny, right?

I just, I hate it when you

don't take me seriously.

I'm sorry, honey. I do take you

seriously. I was just trying to...

I'm just trying to lighten things up.

I just want us to kind of

get back to normal.
