Ghost Light

She can't die yet.

George!

She's the final girl.

- Hello, George. - Hello, Richard.

- Lovely cottage. - Yes. Not bad.

- Haven't you seen it yet? - Where did you find...

There's also a pool. Come, I'll show you around.

Well, never mind.

George, I've got you trapped.

You thought you had us fooled.

It was perfect the way you directed the whole scheme.

Fortunately, I was able to take care of Allen in time.

The last attack he had was staged by me.

So you see, George,

I have you trapped and you'll be punished for what you've done.

Virginia?

...self-betterment, every single day.

We don't have time, the answer is now.

But we will make time.

And that is a skill that we will sharpen together

in this program.

If you believe in yourself,

more than anyone else, every single day,

your dreams will come true.

Your dreams will come true.

Your dreams will come true.

"When should I start?"

The answer is always now.

Now...

I don't know, maybe ten times.

It's like they're communicating with you from the afterlife.

Now, that's overly dramatic.

- What is that like? - Dreams are weird.

These are just different.

If the universe was giving me a sign,

I wouldn't ignore it.

It's a natural thing.

It's just the way our brains deal with trauma.

Life is full of signs if you're willing to look.

Yeah, sure.

Hey, Marcus.

Hey, how are you?

- You headed to work? - Rehearsals.

- What do you do? - I'm a drummer.

Jazz ensemble.

You gotta be kidding me.

This day keeps getting crazier. I'm a drummer, too.

- Small world. - Ah, the world keeps getting smaller, man.

- Hi. How are you? - Fine, thanks.

- You headed to work? - Yeah. I'm a theater teacher at McKinley High.

Molding minds.

School teacher. Good for you.

It's funny you should say that,

I am actually a school teacher as well.

- Really? - Yeah.

We're fighting the good fight.

Do you like driving around in this little electric car?

Well, I'd rather be driving a taxi,

but I gotta stick with the times, you know.

You do well with this kind of job?

It's just something I do on the side.

I got my eyes set on bigger things.

I tell you who's really making a killing,

these thieves stealing packages

from my apartment complex.

- I'm not stealing. - Mmm-hmm.

Sure.

I was making a delivery.

I like your uniform.

Well, you know that

there are several jobs these days

that don't require you to wear a uniform.

Hmm.

- You doing a play? - Unfortunately,

I think it's canceled.

Well, that's a shame.

I'm an actor.

It's so much fun last time, but this is...

It's a deadline thing.

If you weren't moving. We'd have time.

You know there is a dance part.

Don't be a big butthead.

She's the one who invited the delivery guy.

I work for Rideshare.

So, we already decided that it's not gonna happen.

Well, I wasn't ready to give up as easily as you.

Hey.

So, that really sucked.

Do you maybe wanna go out sometime?

Like tonight?

Well, probably not this week.

Did you just offer me a pity date?

You're not really my type.

Maybe we could work together sometime.

That'd be great.

Thank you for not making this weird.

Can't take life too seriously.

Everybody dies in the end.

Frustration is the precursor to breakthrough.

The right decisions...

- Can we come in and talk? - Oh, please.

I don't really know him.

I just answered an ad.

- Go ahead. - It was for a job.

What do you do?

I'm kind of a Jack of all trades.

And then what happened?

Marcus could tell that I was out of my league

and he called me on it.

That was... That was it.

They ended the interview, and I left.

So, there was no confrontation?

No, I just walked out the front door.

When was the last time you saw Marcus?

Not since that night.

I really gotta get going.

Are we...

- You're not planning on leaving town? - No.

You just can't be crazy.

You gotta be having fun.

You make eye contact,

make a connection.

So important, you know?

I mean, you put that light out in the world,

it's just gonna shine right back at you.

It's the way I like to live.

It's a beautiful day.

And here you are.

Hi, Joseph Watkins.

- Nice to meet you, Joe. - Just Joseph.

Joseph. I'm sorry. Uh, Ramen.

Just Ramen, like the noodle.

I'm sorry, I was running late.

I take the bus.

Well, let's, um...

Let's just jump right in.

Uh, I'm looking to hire somebody for this with some experience.

With the last crew that I had, I had to fire everybody.

I mean, the whole thing was a total bust.

Yeah. Uh, with this one, you actually haven't mentioned pay rate or...

I'm fully willing to compensate upon completion.

So, tell me about your experience.

Okay. Uh, I've been known to stretch a buck.

Uh, as a stage manager,

I-I'm efficient

and I have actually done a few plays.

So you know how to take this thing cradle to grave?

- It depends on the size. - Small.

Like... the least amount possible.

Okay, well, to do a good one...

Doesn't have to be good.

Well... Well, then, yeah, man.

All right. Um, yeah,

we can make this as minimal as you want.

Why are you doing this?

Why does anybody do anything?

Yeah. I mean, what are you,

some kind philosopher?

I'm a student of philosophy.

Tell me more about yourself.

I mean, this is, this is why I came here

to the heart of everything, to be in it.

"It"?

The fucking scene, man.

This looks great. When can you start?

Uh, well, here's the thing.

I just have to legally come out and say it.

I'm not some kind of, like, sex pervert or nothing like that,

but I am a registered sex offender.

It's just that I was getting out of my shower like you do,

like we all do.

Um, and I left the blinds open,

and I forgot I lived in front of a school.

And to be honest,

a substantial amount of children saw my dick,

and it got out of hand fairly quickly

once the cops got there.

Uh, but you can look all of this up online.

It's not as big a deal as people make it.

I just, like, have to tell you.

"Sex offender."

Concession stand is back there.

The control room's back here with all the house lights.

A lot of cobwebs, so...

Ah, be careful.

Not much backstage area.

It's perfect.

Uh, all these black box theatres

are pretty much the same.

There's, like, five on this strip...

with just as many seats and none of the baggage.

This is the one.

Hey, you're the boss.

You never know.

Sometimes you have a connection with somebody, a dynamic,

and things just line up.

That's what I needed to hear.

You just put out whatever you put out in the world

and it just comes right back.

So, you gotta take a swing.
