Darling

I don't think you realize what a godsend you are.

Not many people jump at the opportunity to stay here alone.

Why?

Oh, old ghost stories.

This is the oldest house in the city, you know.

Lots of history.

A few unpleasant nicknames.

We've tried to rebuild the reputation in the

neighborhood, but then last winter the caretaker, well...

Yes?

Well, I really shouldn't be telling you this.

Please.

Well, poor girl, she, she threw herself off the

upstairs balcony.

Why did she do that?

Hard to say, really.

But you needn't worry about that.

This really is a lovely old house.

It will take care of you, and I'm certain there

won't be a single problem.

Of course not, ma'am.

Good.

Will a check be alright?

Yes.

Splendid.

Oh, I mustn't keep them waiting.

I left our telephone number by the phone.

Feel free to call any time about anything, even to say hello.

I will.

You're a doll.

Toodle-oo.

Darling.

Poor girl.

She threw herself off the upstairs balcony.

Yes?

Hello?

Darling, is that you?

I wanted to check in and make sure the first night

went smoothly.

I forgot to mention to you, please, have your references

reach out to us.

Who?

Andrew Dopling or something.

Abbott?

Yes, that's it.

They were odd.

Uh, I'll try them for you.

I still haven't received my final payment from them anyway.

Just give them the number I left for you.

Uh, ma'am, there's one room that I can't get into.

Yes?

Um, the room at the end of the hall.

Don't concern yourself with that room, dear.

Is that understood?

It must remain locked at all times.

Am I clear?

Yes ma'am.

Thank you again.

- Goodbye, dear! - Ma'am?

Miss?

Miss?

Oh, god!

Uh, Jesus, I'm sorry. Sorry.

I just, you dropped this.

Here.

Sorry for frightening you.

Okay.

Alright then. Bye.

Hell...

Hello?

Hello? Hello? Hello, are you there?

Hi.

Can I...?

Is anybody sitting here?

No.

Do you mind if I sit?

Eh...

Now I'm not interrupting anything, am I?

Uh, I just hope your boyfriend doesn't come and

hit me in the back of the head.

Don't worry.

Have you... Been here before?

Why?

You know, I don't know.

Um, maybe I'm mistaken.

What do you mean?

Heh, I just, i-i guess you look familiar.

I just have one of those faces.

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess so.

Hey, can I get you something?

Like what?

Uh, a drink.

Let me get, um, two gins.

Do you like gin?

Sure.

Very nice.

Thank you.

You're sure you're not waiting for anybody?

I was waiting for you.

Heh, that's, that's funny.

It's true.

It's also very flattering.

Uh, heh.

I am gonna get another round.

You too?

Let me get, uh, two more.

Why not?

So uh, what do you do for, uh, work?

Hm?

For work, your job?

Nothing, really.

Would you excuse me for a moment?

W-where're you going?

I'll be right back.

Huh?

Don't go anywhere.

Okay.

You alright?

Yes.

Don't I look alright?

Oh yeah, you look great.

Thank you.

I, I'm just, uh, waiting for another drink.

I don't know where the bartender is.

Do you want to come back to my place?

What?

It's not far.

There's plenty of Brandy.

It's free.

Yeah.

Yeah, uh, let me just cash out.

Alright.

Let's go.

Uh, are you joking?

Are you coming?

This is your place?

You can sit here.

Oh my god!

You know, I gotta tell you, I never pictured you

living in a place like this.

Why not?

Well, because...

I'm sorry.
