Well ...

how about a toast everybody ...

to love ...

everlasting?

To the newlyweds.

Any children in the future Deb.

- William.

To good friends.

To doubling our money.

To the house.

To the house.

Oh, my god, Abby.

It doesn't even hurt.

Oh, god Billy, please ...

be careful. - Careful, Bill.

- Okay, okay.

Just hold it.

Marvin, where are those famous pain killers

of yours?

I know it's a sin ...

I've got you.

How's your hand, Abby?

It still hurts a bit.

But you can make it feel better.

You know, I think we should

move to the Holiday Inn.

Oh, no baby.

It's romantic here.

You will get the power going,

first thing in the morning.

Besides ...

I don't need a furnace

to keep me warm.

One ...

Two ...

Three.

Hallelujah ...

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Now I know why he's never got married.

Classic anal retentive.

What do you think I heard, Marvin?

What?

Marvin?

You're not listening to me.

The doctor is in.

It's just a feeling.

I don't know what.

I think there's something else in the house.

You're sure this is one of your ESPM

premonitions again, or is it just a dream?

- I swear ...

I heard a voice coming from the basement.

It was like a strange ...

- It's probably the cat

making a noise. Debra, look ...

you've hurt yourself, you've

been under a lot of stress,

you're taking medication,

we're in the strange place.

You don't understand.

I don't think you want to.

We've been through this before. Are you...

are you keeping the journal I asked

you to keep? I mean, don't you ...

see some pattern in this?

You're with your friends here, Debra.

Believe me you're safe in this house.

Kitty.

Come on. Calm down. Stop it right now.

Just, just take a deep breath.

Breathe, breathe, breathe.

Okay, that's right. Right, right.

There's something evil in this house!

- Debbie, write it down.

Somebody try the power!

There is nothing!

Oh, goddamn!

Try again!

There's still nothing!

Marvin?

Are you all right?

Beside from the fact that you

could have killed me, huh?

What's going on?

- I almost nailed Marvin.

Don't you know how to use that thing!?

I don't see how I could have missed.

Maybe I just need a bit more practice.

Hey, everybody.

Check this out.

What is it?

You tell me.

It's so ...

like that.

No.

No way that thing's staying here.

I don't know.

Just might make the house show better.

Maybe I should put it in your bedroom.

A feeler ...

with visions.

Yes. Yes.

- Pardon me? - Can we help you?

Oh, I'm not the one that needs the help.

But maybe I can help you.

You're hurting, but you'll be fine.

- Just, who are you?

What's your name, dear?

- Debbie.

She's Debbie. - I know who she

is, I mean who is she?

- Oh, yeah, Moriarty, Mrs. Moriarty.

That's two r's and one i.

It's not real, dear. It's fake.

Better to keep an eye out.

Hey, you got a glass here for my eye?

Hey, Frank.

We've got company.

Someone you really ought to meet.

You can't stay awake, can you?

Always having to look

for you when you wander off.

Oh, that's good beer.

I don't think they have that done in thirties.

Don't think so anyway.

What's up?

A Dorotie's barn grill.

Tonight it's a big night down there.

Saturday shindig.

- Just a why are you here anyways?

A miracle of birth I suppose.

The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Weird.

Certifiable.

Look, Mrs. Moriarty as you can see,

we've really got a lot of work to do here.

- All will be revealed.

I don't mean to be rude, but ...

- This time for certain I can tell

the Lord works in mysterious ways.

See?

I have something for you.

I know I brought it.

Well ...

I've got work to do anyways.

What in the hell is wrong with that dog?

Frank! Get inside! Hurry!

What did you do to that animal, Frank?

Did you see it's size?

- Is it gone?

I don't see it.

Oh, my god.

Look, don't anybody move.

- Tell that to the dog.

What was that all about?

I don't know. Maybe we should ...

we should call that SPCA.

- If we had a phone.

It's over.

Everybody's hungry, uh?

Bill ...

you got anything in that cooler besides

a handful of sprouts and the dog food?

I think it kills your ...

your appetite, huh Marvin?

What the hell? It was a stray dog

pissed off by Frank's looks. That's all.

Give us a smile, William.

Let's see how much you're enjoying your work.

Hey, watch it! That stove isn't replaceable.

What about the furnace?

What?

- The furnace!

That's Debbie's job. She's

putting down the finish.

Watch that stuff, it's dangerous.

You missed a spot ...

To your right.

Marvin, you're making me nervous.

Screwman!

Stop screwing around, get back to work.

Very funny. Very funny.

So, did you get the furnace working?

I just got the lights working, Marvin.

I can't believe how much

usable stuff there is here.

This really was an incredible deal.

Got you!

It's one of these you know.

There's probably a whole damn nest of them.

- Yeah, big ones. Breeders.

Marvin?

There's a door here.

So, what do you think is in there

besides a nest of diseased rats?

- I'm ready for them. - Yeah?

Come on.

I think, we're safe.

I don't see any beady red eyes.

So, why don't you ...

check, to make sure

there's no more rats in here?

I'll go check on Deb.

Marvin Swarzenegger.

Damn.

Marvin!

Marvin!

So?

Now, what're you two trying to tell me?

That this house has some sort of ...

supernatural something, uh?

Ghosts, goblins ...

Come on William, I never expected that

you'd fall for this sort of bogeyman garbage.

Then you explain

what happened, professor.

Everything has an explanation.

You've just got to approach the

situation in a rational sort of way...

and not let your imagination

run away with you.

Right.

I imagined all that.

Basement drafts plain and simple.

Oh, come on.

Why don't we

just get out of here for a while?

Have a few drinks.

Yeah.

I could use a couple.

Almost ready?

I dreamt about the religious symbols.

A church ...

But look at this.

That was two weeks before

Bill found the things in the basement.

I'm telling you there's a connection.

- Debbie, please not now!

We need some distance, ...

perspective. We'll talk about it tomorrow.

I'll be downstairs.

Marvin's looking for you.

I don't wanna leave you alone here.

- No, you go.

I'm best left alone when this happens.

No, I can, I can stay downstairs

and work on the painting.

- No, it'll pass!

You, just go.

At least one of us should have a good time.

Okay.

Bill got the fridge working and ...

there is some chicken in there if you're hungry.

I'll be back early.

I could have sworn the guy said the term

"just beyond the next life".

- She found the place. Okay, Marvin?

Welcome to Dorries folks.

Nice to see new faces.

Hi.

What sort of wines do you have?

Red and white.

Just bring us some pitcher of Coors Light

and four glasses.

Miss.

Where's the restroom?

Second right, past the bar.

I'm gonna call the Blue Goose,

see if I'm still in the restaurant business.
