The Black Room Page #2

I'm gonna make it up to her.

Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow.

-What, you're gonna make it

up to her right now?

-Yes.

Well, can you film it?

Just... tell her

it was my idea.

Okay.

Oh, sh*t. Oh, f***!

Oh, my god,

you got to be kidding me!

I forgot my key.

Honey, what happened?

I'm doing laundry.

I don't think

you're doing it right.

I'm joking!

I called the plumber.

Couldn't fix it yourself, huh?

Well, this coupled with

your bathtub last night,

I thought it wouldn't hurt

to call an expert

to check it out.

The rest of the day and night

is yours.

I'll do whatever you want.

Order in, go out.

I'm at your service, my lady.

-I can use a little service.

-What's that?

Nothing. Great.

So, what'll it be?

We did spend all of our money

on this house. Seems a shame

not to take advantage of it.

In it is.

Quiet evening,

just the two of us.

You left out "romantic."

I was just getting to that part.

-You didn't tell the plumber

to come today night, did you?

-Tomorrow morning.

If it's him,

I'll tell him to come back.

Come back, my ass!

Took me three buses

to get here!

How's it hanging, Paul?

Karen, impeccable timing,

as always.

It's a gift.

Is my domesticated

other-half around?

-Karen?

-Oh, my god!

You remember my name!

You haven't totally

brainwashed her, yet, huh?

Aw, I thought you were

coming in a few days.

I was bored.

Nice flowers,

you buy those, Paul?

As a matter of fact... I did.

That's so weird,

they were fine

a few minutes ago.

They look fine to me,

but I am going through

my "black phase."

This is the fruit

of your labors.

All those years of

rich relatives really paid off.

I bought this house

with my money-- our money.

Must be nice when

you can work for daddy.

So, Karen, how's school?

Sucks. How's your job?

Quite as usual?

Kinda what you'd be expecting

when you work in a bookstore.

-And how's your job, Paul?

-Fine.

Took a couple of days off

until we're all settled in.

I'm sure they will survive

without you.

Okay. Great you could come

all the way down here

to see us.

Must you be leaving so soon?

Come on, guys, really?

Please...

Look, I've got the guest room

almost ready for you.

Come upstairs,

let me show you around.

Good lord, what do you

have in here? Rocks?

Close. Crystals, brimstones.

I'm dating this guy who's

really obsessed with the

whole psychic vibe thing.

Hey, you want

a tarot card reading?

Maybe I can tell you how long

you an Paul will be together.

All right, trouble-maker.

Hope this will do.

So, read any good books lately?

Ha ha.

That gets you every time,

doesn't it?

Listen, do me a favor.

Please, please, please,

make an effort

to be nice to Paul this time.

-I always try. He hates me.

-Because you hate him.

-Because he hates me.

-Oh, great! This is mature.

Oh.

Look, I don't hate him.

I just think he's a spoiled,

ungrateful,

egotistical, self-centered

mama's boy.

-Oh, is that all?

-Yeah. It's nothing personal.

Huh?

I wish I had a key.

Interesting design choice.

Ah... okay.

So...

You're the flower killer.

Yeah.

What the--

okay, okay, I'll be nice.

I'm just trying

to look out for my big sister.

You know it's supposed to be

the other way around, right?

Yeah, but,

i always try to be different.

Oh, that's for sure.

I did sense a little tension

when I got here.

You seem stressed.

No, no, everything's fine.

-Mostly, I mean.

-Mostly?

We need you, Paul.

We need you, Paul.

We need you, Paul.

I'm... so... so... sorry.

Okay, recap.

Dangerous furnace,

short-circuiting

washing machine,

creepy electrician...

So, the moral of the story is,

"stay out of the basement."

-Pretty much.

-Hm.

Then, perhaps you can use this.

-What is this?

-It's a necklace.

It's used to ward off evil.

For protection.

Will it protect me

against you?

Nothing can protect you

from me.

Paul?

Paul?

We're just discussing dinner.

Maybe he took off.

No, he wouldn't do that.

Paul?

Geez.

Jennifer. Karen.

What were you doing

down there?

I was checking

the washing machine.

Oh. Any luck?

No, it's best not to

go down there at the moment.

Yeah, then, for once,

we're in agreement.

So listen, I was thinking...

Maybe we should go out tonight.

Stacy told me about a really

great middle eastern restaurant

that's near by,

and ive heard

good things about it.

I thought we were

staying in tonight.

I know,

but now we have a guest, honey.

And we want to be good hosts,

right?

-Take her out,

show her the town.

-Good hosts?

Yes.

Uh, sure. I am all over that.

We haven't been out

in quite a while.

Okay, you wanna go upstairs

and change,

and we'll take my car?

Yes, I will go change.

Uh, okay,

he's acting f***ing weird.

He's trying to be

on best behavior.

I suggest you do the same.

We're changing

our plans for you.

Don't forget that.

Without a reservation,

it's gonna be a few minutes.

You may wait at the bar,

if you wish.

Bar sounds good.

I could use a drink.

Karen, you?

-Always.

-I don't like to wait.

Let it go. We came

to have a good time, right?

Good times...

Yes... Jennifer.

I'm ready to have some fun.

Hi.

-What would you like to drink?

-I'll take a red wine, please.

-A Cuba libre.

-Red wine, Cuba libre.

Perfect.

Tell me about this guy

you're seeing.

What's he like,

what's his name?

Oh, excuse me,

do you work here?

I do, but unfortunately,

i just started

my ten minute break.

His name is Patrick.

Someone else here

would be happy to help you.

Oh, I don't want someone else.

I just want you.

What the hell

is your husband doing?

He's probably just trying

to get us a table earlier.

-Cabernet.

-Yeah, that's totally

what he's doing.

Can I let you in

on a little secret?

You couldn't have me

if hell froze over.

What if I told you--

To the keeper that Paul is.

I could provide you with

the most explosive sexual

experience of your entire life.

Four words.

"Never going to happen."

Never say never.

Excuse me sir,

can I help you

with something from the bar?

Milk.

I'm sorry, sir, we don't

carry milk here. Can i

offer you something else?

Just those two things

came to mind.

You don't know

what you're missing.

Oh, my god! Oh, my god!

How is this possible?

What?

No! I want my breasts back.

Oh.

Table for three.

In a few more minutes, sir.

Now.

-Our table?

-Yes.

Right this way.

Mm.

I forgot how good

food tastes.

Well, now that we've got a home,

I'll be able to cook you

genuine, home cooked meals.

Mm.

So, tell me some more

about that psychic stuff

you're studying.

Forget about it.

You guys are just gonna think

it's bullshit an way.

Not at all.

I'm very interested

in the subject.

So, you know about crystals,

astral projections, the occult?

Intimately.

I also know it's quite dangerous

to play around

with some of those things.

Just ask Margaret black.

Oh, I'm sorry, you can't.

She's dead.

-Who?

-That was the woman

who used to won our house.

How do you know
