The Black Room
1
No!
Leave us alone.
I know what day it is.
But anniversary or not,
this year I refuse!
I'm not letting you out,
and I am not feeding you.
And you must be quiet!
I know that you know,
that my granddaughter
is in this house, visiting.
She's innocent like I was.
And she's gonna stay that way,
and there's nothing, nothing,
nothing you can do,
because I will destroy you
before you touch her!
Now, shut the f*** up!
And you leave us alone.
You can complain all you want.
You are never getting out!
How is this possible?
How did you?
No! Oh, no. No, please!
No, no!
Yes! Yes! Oh!
No!
Yes!
Oh, yes! I'm ready!
No!
Nana?
Oh, darling, I'm so sorry!
-What?
-Oh, this is all my fault!
I should have known
it was going to try something
when I wouldn't let it in.
But it ends tonight!
Put your clothes on.
Nana?
Sh*t!
Nana?
Nana?
Do you remember this?
Do you?
Not dawn.
No... not dawn.
If you want somebody...
You take me.
Nana, are you down here?
No!
Nana? What's happening?
What's wrong?
Nana, I can't get the door open.
It's shut!
No!
Nana?
Nana?
No!
No!
Trust me,
you've made the right decision.
You two will be so happy here!
Can't believe we finally
got our own home!
I told you we'd get there.
I can't believe
it came fully furnished.
Are you sure the
previous owners
don't want any of it?
No, it's all property
of miss black's.
- Ever since she...
- Left
There's nobody around
to claim it.
-Not even her family?
-No.
No.
Well, ever since the
horrible incident with their
daughter in the basement,
which would never
ever happen again, by the way,
they want to have
nothing to do with it,
so they... they...
Decided to put the house up
for sale once
the state allowed them to do so
and told my agents
to get rid out it.
-Seems odd.
-No, no!
It's not uncommon
when people face
this kind of family tragedy.
But only because of
bad memories and stuff.
Which is why
we're playing it safe.
We're placing a furnace.
You are very smart.
Refer a friend!
How about we christen
the couch first,
before my back goes out?
Stop it, put me down!
How about...
We start in the kitchen?
Well, to be fair
to the entire house,
i think it should be included.
It's a lot of rooms.
You sure you gonna
be up for that?
As long it's with you,
I'm sure I'll rise
to the occasion.
Oh, that's such a bad pun.
You want a quick word
or hot sex?
-What is that!
-Your welcome.
-Mm hmm.
-Uh huh.
What's down there?
If I'm not mistaken,
the basement.
Well, maybe we can
skip the basement.
As long as it
doesn't get jealous.
Romantic mood officially over.
Hello?
I'm gonna check it out.
Really?
I refuse to be intimidated
by my own house.
It's cold down here.
What's that?
Just me.
Oh, sorry,
i didn't mean to scare you.
Name's Oscar.
I'm the electrician.
You called us about
replacing your furnace.
Right. I didn't think you were
coming until tomorrow.
I had some down time,
so I thought
I'd check it out today.
- That real estate lady...
- Yeah, she let me in.
Yeah, I didn't see your truck
out front. Sorry. This is
my wife, Jennifer. I'm Paul.
I'd shake,
but it's kinda dirty down here.
Got it.
So, listen, you don't
seem to have any problem
with your heating.
Good furnace.
Built to last.
Apparently, there was a fire
here a couple of years ago
and a girl got burnt
pretty badly.
I wouldn't go
sticking your face in there.
Damn hot.
Yeah, well, if we were to
replace this one,
how much would it cost?
Well, I'll let you know
when I'm done
with my assessment.
Just trying to figure out
where all these pipes lead.
Lot of pipe down here.
Okay, we'll leave you to it,
and you'll let us know
when you have an estimate?
Will do.
-Nice to meet you.
-Same here.
Oh hey, you wouldn't
happen to have a key
to this door, would you?
You see, this pipe up here
goes through the wall
into there
and this door, it's stuck,
locked or something.
Sorry, we only have keys
to the main doors.
That's all right.
I'll figure it out.
Thank you.
Mmm--
Where were we?
Wanna have some fun time?
With Oscar, the
pervy electrician standing by?
I don't think so.
We'll lock him in the basement
so he can't watch.
Forget it!
Absolutely no sexual activity
until creepy 'Mr. fix-it'
is gone.
I guess
i jarred you loose.
What the f***
is this sh*t?
Oh, gimme a f***ing break!
Okay, f*** this sh*t.
Get me out of here!
Get me the f***
out of here!
Open the goddamn door.
Oh, Jesus.
F*** you.
Jesus Christ!
Too many weird f***ing fumes
in these cellars.
It's playing with my head.
Help me, dear god!
Hey, you almost done?
It's getting late.
Hello?
Oscar?
Good news. He's gone.
It's like the second home run.
-I'm filthy dirty.
-That's what I love about you.
No, I mean dirt-dirt. Real dirt.
Unpacking dirt.
Let's take a bath first.
What comes second?
Hopefully, both of us,
if we're lucky.
Oh.
Look what I found
in the back of the closet.
Wow. Spirit board.
I know exactly
what I wanna do with it.
So do I.
By the way,
Karen's gonna come for a visit.
- Your sister, Karen?
- Uh huh.
Isn't she still in school?
Well. Her school's
so close now.
-Wonderful.
-What?
I said, "wonderful."
I can't wait to see her again.
She's such a...
Joy to be around.
Mm. Somebody really wants
to get laid tonight.
What the?
Someone is playful tonight!
What are you doing down there?
Honey, if you keep that up,
i won't be able to...
What?
Hope you're ready
for some real fun.
Just give me a minute. Okay?
I don't think
i can wait a minute.
God, the weirdest thing
just happened in the bathroom.
Whatever it was, it must have
turned you on big time.
How did you know?
I reap the benefits.
Not yet, you haven't,
but you will.
Honey... yeah.
Woah, honey.
Honey, woah, woah.
I need a little down time,
all right?
You practically
drained me dry.
Seriously?
After all that talk
of the house,
now you're not
in the mood any more?
Look, I'm sorry. I mean...
-I warned you--
-really? Okay, I get it.
You're just teaching me
a lesson, right?
Because I made you wait.
-Honey--
-forget it.
Forget it, it's fine.
Let's just go to sleep.
Good night.
Well, the house is great.
It's Jen that I don't get.
You know, one minute she's
sex-crazed and the next
she's just crazed.
Why don't you and I swap wives?
Just for a week.
-Hey, watch it!
-No...
I think I can
help you with this.
I'm really good at it.
Do you wanna get punched?
No... please no punching.
But look,
I'm just like you on the inside.
There's nothing more
that I wanna do
than just curl up like a baby
and go to sleep
after the deal is sealed.
But...
But, there's nothing
that pisses off a woman
more than that, okay.
I tried it once with Stacy.
Once. No time off.
Howard...
When you're right, you're right.
You're not as dumb as you look.
