It's, uh, where you go in the bathroom

and you say "Bloody Mary" three times

in the mirror and then you see a ghost.

KATIE:
Dennis,

I wanna play Bloody Mary.

DENNIS:
Nothing, don't worry.

Shh! It's okay.

You say Bloody Mary three times.

Ooh, I want to play!

I want to see a ghost.

I'm just saying you're missing

half of the stuff in the house

without cameras down there.

DENNIS:
I know.

You don't have to tell me.

Like put it up in the corner, like,

rack it up in the corner or something?

It just doesn't work. It just...

It's not a wide enough angle.

And I don't even...

They don't even make lenses that wide.

- Mirrors.

- Hmm?

You could use mirrors.

- RANDY:
This thing is so cool.

- Pretty cool, right?

It's awesome. Wow!

Look, you got it

balanced out and everything, too.

- (CREAKING)

- Whoa. What is that?

I got to work out some kinks.

(CHUCKLING) Oh, man.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

- JULIE:
Hi.

- Hey.

What is that?

Check it out.

My new thing.

- It's pretty cool, right?

- Yeah.

- What... What is it?

- I took your fan...

And basically, took apart...

Basically, the oscillator

on your fan allows me to see

both in the living room

and in the kitchen.

Cool. Wait, what? You broke my fan?

I can put it back together.

Okay, MacGyver.

- It's cool, right?

- Mmm-hmm.

This way I can...

(SNORING)

(FOOTSTEPS PATTERING)

(CHAIR SCRAPES)

(GIGGLES)

(FAINT THUD)

(KRISTI GIGGLING)

Kristi, what are you doing?

- Nothing.

- Go back to bed. It's really late.

Hey, babe, what are you doing up here?

Painting.

Don't you want to play outside?

Not really.

How about your friend Toby?

Do you still talk to him?

Yeah.

Did he wake you up?

Mmm, no.

Did he tell you to come downstairs?

No.

You know you can tell me, right?

He told me not to talk about it.

Why don't you just ask him yourself?

He's standing right next to you.

I don't see him.

He's there.

DENNIS:
Hey, thanks for

getting these, man.

RANDY:
Yeah, of course.

- This is good stuff.

- Thanks.

- Randy...

- Yeah?

Did you check this out?

No, I don't have a library card.

You stole these?

I didn't steal them, Dennis.

You told me to get the books,

I got you the books.

It's what a library is. It's for borrowing.

That's what "library"

means in Spanish...

It means, "Borrow book store."

Malevolent Entities. What is this one?

Uh, I don't know.

I looked through it for a second.

It had some creepy pictures...

This stuff is creepy.

Oh, hey.

It's your sister and her friends.

Is that a joke?

What, was that supposed to be funny?

Playing field hockey.

Says, "Kids are susceptible

to spiritual contact."

Okay. And?

Well, the whole thing

with Kristi and her imaginary friend.

Remember, I was telling you

the crazy stuff started happening

only when she started talking

to her imaginary friend.

I mean, it must want something.

That's what...

You know, that's what the book says.

They don't just stick around

for no reason. It wants something.

What does it want?

Well, the book says

it feeds off of your fear.

KATIE:
Hey, Kristi.

- Kristi.

- Yeah?

- Wanna play a game?

- Sure.

Here. What are you doing?

- Playing with my soccer ball?

- Yeah.

Kristi, that's mine. Kristi!

Kristi, come on. Kristi, come help me.

What are we doing?

- We're gonna play Bloody Mary.

- Why?

Because I wanna try to catch the ghost.

Okay. I think it's on.

So, how you play is you say

"Bloody Mary" three times into the mirror

and then her dead body's

supposed to appear

- in the mirror and try to kill you.

- Stop! Stop!

Stop, Katie.

KRISTI:
So, now what do we do?

Shh. We have to say "Bloody Mary".

- Bloody Mary.

- Bloody Mary.

Bloody Mary.

- Kristi, I said three times, not four.

- Sorry.

- I'm scared, Katie.

- Shh! We have to be quiet.

(BANGING)

JULIE:
Guys...

(GASPS) My gosh, Mom!

You scared me.

- What are you doing?

- Nothing. We're just playing a game.

Okay. Grandma just got here.

Go say hi.

- You moved his camera?

- Yeah.

- Is it taping?

- I'll pick it up, I promise.

Yeah. We gotta move it

before he comes home

'cause he's gonna be mad.

- You guys wanna go to the pool?

- GIRLS:
Yeah.

JULIE:
You wanna

go to the pool, Grandma?

(CREAKING)

(SLAMMING)

(WATER RUNNING)

(GARBAGE DISPOSAL RATTLING)

JULIE:
God damn it.

(GLASS SHATTERING)

- KATIE:
Mom?

- Oh, my God.

DENNIS:
Are you okay? Holy sh*t.

KATIE:
Mommy, what happened?

- Stay upstairs. Stay upstairs.

- What happened?

Don't come down here.

- There's glass on the floor. Stay there.

- KATIE:
Are you hurt?

(DENNIS TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

JULIE:
(STUTTERING)

I have no idea, I have no idea.

JULIE:
Looks fine, right?

It didn't even break.

That's good.

- DENNIS:
What happened?

- It just fell. I didn't...

What do you mean, what happened?

I was in there.

- DENNIS:
Hi, Kristi.

- Hey.

- Say hi to the camera.

- Hey.

- Can I join you guys?

- Sure.

- Oh, I can?

- Yeah.

Okay, great.

I'm gonna set my camera here, okay?

- Okay.

- Just keep it out of the way.

Wait. Why are you filming this?

Um, it's just like,

I'm testing out my, like, new camera

and, you know, no reason.

Don't sit there. That's Toby's spot.

Oh, sorry.

Is Toby sitting there right now?

Okay. Sorry.

Sorry, Toby.

- (GIGGLES)

- (CHUCKLES)

Does Teddy need help with his tea?

He looks thirsty.

- Yeah.

- Here you go, Teddy.

Here. He can't reach 'em.

Okay.

Wow. He was thirsty. See, I told you.

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

And she keeps falling.

Poke.

So, Kristi, what was the last thing

that Toby said to you?

Oh, like...

- Anything?

- Yeah.

- No?

- Secrets.

Secrets. Regular stuff. Oh, in her sink?

Yeah. Sorry.

Oh, that... Did you, uh... Did you...

Did he say something just now?

No, I just put my hand on him.

Oh. (CHUCKLES)

And he didn't like that.

He doesn't like that, when you...

- No.

- Oh.

Sorry, Toby. It was a mistake, right?

Yeah. (GIGGLES)

- What?

- Nothing.

- What?

- Never mind.

- What were you gonna say?

- Nothing.

It's okay, you can tell me.

KATIE:
Kristi, why is

Dennis's camera here?

Because me and Toby

were having a little tea party

and he was filming us.

- I'm not!

- Yes, you are, Kristi.

Only babies have imaginary friends.

He is real.

(IN SING-SONG) Hey, Kristi!

Kristi's such a baby! Baby!

Katie, stop it!

Well, you're being a baby!

Only babies have imaginary friends.

No, I'm not! He's right in there.

In there? Toby, come out!

Toby, come out!

Toby!

Okay, I'm gonna go in.

Katie, you shouldn't do that.

Katie! Don't go in there.

(EXCLAIMS DISMISSIVELY)

- You shouldn't do that.

- Well, I am.

Toby, come out.

Toby...

- (KATIE SCREAMS)

- Katie.

Kristi! What are you doing?

- Open the door!

- (BANGING)

- (CONTINUES BANGING)

- You shouldn't do that.

Kristi, open this door!

- It's not me!

- Kristi!

- JULIE:
Girls!

- Open the door!

- What is this yelling? What is going on?

- I'm not doing that.

JULIE:
Stop fighting right this second.
