(MORGAN STEVENS) "Rebuilding

Your Self Worth"

Chapter Six.

This chapter's motto is:

The road to recovery

is reached by

inhaling the positive,

and exhaling

the negative.

Inhaling the positive,

and exhaling

the negative.

Now please

repeat the motto.

The road to recovery

is reached by

inhaling the positive

and exhaling the negative.

Very good.

Now take a deep breath

and visualize the air

filling your lungs.

You're taking in positive...

(PHONE RINGS)

...energy from the universe.

(PHONE RINGING)#

Nope.

Nope.

Not gonna do it.

(PHONE BEEPS)

Not gonna ruin my day.

Very good.

Now, exhale.

Visualize your breath

as all the negative energy in your life.

(PHONE BUZZES)

(SIGHS)

(LOUD SIGH)

Let's see what Prince Charming

has to say.

(BEEP)

Hey, Sarah, it's Trent.

- I got that.

- Um, I noticed...

...you didn't

say goodbye to me

at the end of the trial.

- Why would I, really?

- And your supposed...

...divorce attorney...

...wouldn't tell me

where you were movin'.

Uh, I really don't care.

I just want to know

where to send your junk.

Good. That's good.

Ashley wants to...

...you know,

redecorate our bedroom.

(SCOFFS)

Oh, I bet she does, huh?

Anyway, good luck.

And, uh, arrivederci.

(SCOFFS)

Arrivaderci.

(PHONE BEEPS)

Great.

Great.

She's redecorating

my bedroom.

What is she, 15?

She doesn't know

how to decorate.

She's gonna use

princess sheets,

or something like...

Princess.

(GROAN)

(CALM MUSIC #)

All right.

Home, sweet home.

(DRAMATIC, OMINOUS MUSIC #)

(SARAH SCREAMS)

(SCREECHING TIRES)

(THUMP)

Oh my God.

Oh my God,

was that a kid?

No, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no.

Please be okay.

(UNDER HER BREATH)

Please be okay.

Little boy?

I'm so sor...

(MYSTERIOUS MELODY #)

(SIGH)

It's okay.

I didn't him him.

I'm fine.

(SHARP CRASH #)

(LOUD GASP)

Oh!

Sorry, dear.

Didn't mean to scare you.

- Are you Ms. Campbell?

- Yeah, um, sorry.

Sarah.

You must be Mrs. Parks.

In the flesh.

It's a pleasure

to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Are you okay? You look

like you've seen a ghost.

Do I?

Um, well,

I almost hit this kid

coming in,

and, well...

That wouldn't be the best way

to make friends around here.

Well, the good news is,

there aren't any kids

living in the complex.

One of the perks

of renting here, if you ask me.

(TOY CLOWN LAUGHING)

What the hell was that?

Some weird toy

that little boy dropped.

I'd like to

return it to him.

Do you know if there's any kids

visiting the complex?

A grandson

or a nephew?

Not that I know of.

Mrs. Stubbs would know.

She's the nosy one.

Now how about

I show you the apartment?

Sounds good.

This is the living room,

new coat of paint.

Almost new tiles.

That's the kitchen.

Obviously.

This is the bedroom.

New coat of paint

on the walls.

Carpet's been

steam cleaned.

They do a nice job.

They really do.

Oh, yes.

Nice view.

- Yeah, let's see the rest of the place.

- Yeah, that's nice...

There's the bathroom

right there.

- That should do it.

- Ah.

And here's your copy

of the lease.

- Okay, thank you.

- And it's official.

You are now

an independent woman.

- Good luck.

- Thank you.

My nephew Tommy

is gonna come up here

to help you move in.

I'm warning you now, though.

He's one

gigantic hormone.

Call me if you have any problems

he can't handle.

My number's on the lease.

Goodbye.

Bye, thanks.

(DOOR CLOSES)

(TOY CLOWN LAUGHING)

(PHONE RINGING)

(BEEP)

Hey, Vicki.

Perfect timing.

Hey, you there yet?

Yep, I just signed

the lease.

So, how is it?

Well...

It's all right.

Well I was kind of hoping

for more color and less dirt,

but hey,

you get what you pay for, right?

I told you to push...

I know. Push for more

money in the divorce.

- I know, I know.

- I'm just saying.

I know it.

I'm just saying you were right.

I was just over it.

Yeah, I know.

I know you're

going through a rough time.

Are you gonna be okay?

Yeah, yeah.

I'll be fine.

It's just kinda been

a bit of a stressful day.

Typical me,

the first thing I do

is almost run over some kid

when I get here.

- Is he okay?

- Yeah, I mean, I think he's fine.

Honestly, I don't know.

He ran off

before I could check on him.

Can you blame him?

I mean, some psycho lady

is trying to run him over

with her car.

I know, so if you don't

hear from me in a few days,

it means

I'm probably in jail

for smushing some...

...kid.

Hey, I gotta go.

I have a lot

I have to get done

before it gets dark out.

Okay. I know you're going

through a really rough time,

but, um, I'm really excited

you're painting again.

Look, I gotta go.

I'll call you later, okay?

- Bye.

- All right, bye.

(PHONE BEEPS)

What the hell?

(HAUNTING MELODY #)

(SOUND OF GENTLE WIND)

(THUD)

(TOY CLOWN LAUGHING)

Hello?

Hello?

Is somebody here?

I have pepper spray.

And I am not afraid

to use it.

Hi. (SARAH SCREAMS)

(SPRAYING SOUND)

(SCREAMING)

Oh!

Ow!

Why would you do that,

lady?!

(GROANING)

Who are you?

Tommy.

My aunt sent me up here.

- Who?

- My aunt told me to help you move in.

Who's your aunt?

- Mrs. Parks!

- Oh, crap. Your aunt's Mrs. Parks?

- Yes!

- Okay, let me help you.

Let's get some water.

Don't...

Don't touch me!

I need milk!

Milk, milk...

Why milk?

It's oil based.

Water will just make it spread.

- I saw it on TV.

- Okay, I just moved in, so I don't have milk.

- We need a plan B.

- Of course you don't.

- Oooh, my God.

- What else can I do for you?

Oh, just give me something

to rub my eyes with.

I don't care.

Here, this should work.

(TOMMY GROANS)

Here you go.

(COUGHING)

Better?

No, not really. But yeah, no.

It kinda helps.

- What are you doing?

- I'm fast-blinking.

It's supposed to

make you tear up.

Look, I am really sorry

about that,

but you

scared the crap out of me.

The whole

"scaring tenants" thing.

Not the "pepper spray" thing.

That...

That is a new one.

Well...

I'm Sarah Campbell.

Tommy.

Kinda nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

(COUGHING)

(SIGHS)

Hey, I can

almost see you.

Ooh.

Hey, you're kinda hot.

Thank you?

(LAUGHTER)

Is this the part

where you offer to kiss my eyes

and make 'em feel better?

- What?

- Nothing.

Umm...

She said that you need some

help moving some stuff in.

Yeah, yeah.

I have a trailer downstairs.

All right.

Let's get you moved in, then.

- You gonna be okay?

- Yeah! Let's go!

- All right...

- Let's go, let's do this!

(TOMMY GROANS)

"Rebuilding Your Self Worth"

with Morgan Stevens?

I've seen this guy on TV.

He's a tool.

No, he's not.

I like him.

Just because you like him

doesn't mean he's not a tool.

Well, he helps me

pass the time away when I drive.

You listen to him

in the car?

It was a long drive.

So the whole

"not recommended to practice

while driving" label

didn't deter you, huh?

It doesn't say that.

Oh.

It does say that.

Why would it say that?

Oops.

So, you're, um...

You're having

some self esteem issues, huh?
