The Visit Page #4

(sighs)

Would you mind

getting inside the oven

to clean it?

I'm sorry?

I'm too big.

I can't reach back there.

The kitchen's

got to be clean.

The oven's off.

Yeah, sure.

(chuckles)

Yeah, sure.

Get farther in there.

All the way in.

Okay.

I'll star in your movie.

If you could

be any animal,

what would you be?

Is there a right answer?

No. These questions

are intended

to get you loosened up.

Oh.

A grizzly bear.

(Becca laughs)

I think

we're warm.

Mom told me

that you and Pop Pop

were very much in love.

Where did you

first meet Pop Pop?

In a garden.

And what did you

think of him?

Oh, he was handsome.

He has a very strong

personality.

This is great.

Uh, we'll come back

to that.

Right now,

I want to talk about

something else.

I know it happened

a long time ago,

but what happened

on the day Mom left?

She won't tell me.

Did she do

something?

Nana?

Nana.

(whimpering)

Nana!

Don't answer

that question.

No more questions

about Loretta Jamison.

Maybe I can ask about--

I don't want to star

in your movie.

Okay.

It's Wednesday night.

Three nights left.

T-Diamond Stylus

is gonna find out

what exactly

is going on.

What are you doing?

I'm putting the camera

out tonight.

It's like we're living

with a werewolf.

You can't record her.

Swerve.

Look, I know you won't

understand this

because your brain

isn't fully developed yet,

but you can't do this.

Why?

It's exploitative.

I have cinematic standards.

(laughs)

No.

No one gives a crap about

cinematic standards, okay?

It's not the 1800s.

Have you seen

reality TV?

Housekeepers of Houston

has, like, a billion viewers.

Look, if one of us isn't

participating in the event,

we can't record it.

It's just what's ethical.

No offense to Ryan Seacrest

or whoever came up with

The Housekeepers of Houston.

You think

you're so great,

don't you?

I hope things

don't get weirder.

'Cause I'm at my limit.

(thumping)

TYLER:

Show the clock.

Show the clock.

This is what Pop Pop

was talking about.

(thumping continues)

The werewolf is real.

Wait.

She's sundowning.

(running footsteps)

We're participating in this.

You're not being

Housekeepers of Houston.

Wait.

If you're gonna open the door,

just open it for a little bit.

(running footsteps

continue)

(hinge creaking)

(footsteps running)

(Tyler gasps)

(Tyler gasps)

She's supposed to do that?

It's just like someone

talking in their sleep.

You used to

talk in your sleep

till you were seven.

Dad used to come in

and quiet you down.

(thumping)

Hey, Becca.

Who am I?

BECCA:

T.

T.

(whispers):

T.

There's a family

of foxes.

You're going to

miss it.

We're coming!

We're coming!

Just stop.

Hey, why is Nana

staring into the well?

Come on. Let's go.

Come on.

Enough of that.

I don't know.

Come on.

Mise-en-scene.

You know,

y-you're not as dumb

as your performance

on the standardized tests

would indicate.

Oh-- Oh!

Forgot I had

something for you.

When you think of Dad now,

in California,

do you still

like him?

I don't know.

Stuff happens.

No, but Dad is hilarious.

Dad's funny.

He sent the funny card

of the fat lady

on the boardwalk.

Do you remember that?

What do you mean,

"stuff happens"?

People leave

'cause they find something

they like better.

So you don't

feel bad?

No.

You're not

being truthful.

Well, you can believe

what you want,

but this is how I feel.

Make me

believe you.

So, I'm on the Titans

pee-wee football team,

and it was third down.

It was at the end,

and we were leading.

So if we stopped 'em,

we probably win the game.

Give me context.

How old are you?

I'm eight.

So, I'm free safety,

which means that I'm supposed

to tackle the guy if he makes

it pass to people on the line.

So their running back

punches the hole--

Okay, am I supposed to be

following these terms?

Are these phrases supposed

to mean something to me?

Just listen.

So their running back,

who's big,

makes it past the line,

and I'm the only one

left to tackle him.

All I gotta do is tackle him,

put my hands around him

and tackle him, but...

I just stand there.

They call it "freezing."

And I could hear

everyone yelling.

Coach Daugherty. Dad.

All my teammates.

He gets the first down

and runs and runs,

and the other team

is celebrating,

and I'm still

standing there.

Same place.

Then the assistant coach

came and got me,

and Dad patted me

on the shoulder and then

went to the car, and he--

he never told me

he was angry or anything.

You think Dad didn't

say anything and left

because you didn't

tackle another eight-year-old

in a game five years ago?

Well, when you

say it like that,

it sounds stupid.

BECCA:

Why are we here?

She was staring

at something.

So, what did you find?

It's only water.

So, I just read these

in order?

"If you could be any animal,

what would it be?"

I feel like a douche,

Becca.

Shut up.

I would be a dolphin.

It's an intuitive

and highly intelligent

creature

with great power and poetry

in its movements.

How come you like

the pizza delivery guy,

even though he has

all that ratchet acne?

Please answer

the question.

He's kind.

He has kind eyes.

How come you don't

look at yourself

in the mirror?

Okay, fine.

What's this now?

Besides when you're editing,

y-you don't like

looking at yourself.

You never

look at yourself

in the mirror.

You comb your hair

with your back

to the mirror.

And I see you

brush your teeth.

You look down

the whole time.

Your sweater's

inside out.

Did you know that?

Did you see that

in the mirror

this morning?

Is that correct?

It doesn't

feel so good,

does it?

Are you changing

the focal length

of the lens?

No. I don't even know

what that is.

Are you zooming?

No.

So, do you admit that

you don't look at yourself,

or are you gonna

keep lying?

When do you think

I started doing that?

TYLER:

You know when.

That's not true,

a**hole.

TYLER:

You think you're worthless.

Admit it.

(crying)

He gave me a card

when he left.

A card.

Old footage of us as kids.

Was thinking of using it

in the doc.

I refuse to use anything

that has my dad in it.

That would mean

I forgive him.

(footsteps)

TYLER:

Nana?

Nana?

Becca's blind.

I know I'm right.

There is something

going on here.

TYLER:

Maybe there's something

down in the basement.

They don't want us

to go down there.

They're throwing shade.

Speak English.

They could be hiding

something down there.

There's mold down there.

That's why they don't

want us to go down.

Just stop, okay?

Just let me put

the camera out.

Hi. I'm Stacey.

Is Mr. and Mrs. Jamison

around?

BECCA:

No. They just

stepped out.

It's just me

and my brother here.

Mr. and Mrs. Jamison were

counselors at Meadowbrook.

I was in the rehab

program there.

They used to sit by my bed

when I wasn't in good shape.

All night sometimes, so--

Anyway, this is

a blueberry cobbler

for them.

They were supposed
