Confined

So?

You really want my opinion?

No, but I'm sure I'm going to get it anyway.

Okay.

Well, the entire block only has a few different house models,

you know, similar floor-plans,

safe, non-confrontational color choices,

generic, middle-class nowhere.

Oh, it's got to be somewhere.

Why is that?

Because we live here now.

Right.

Home sweet home.

The furniture made it.

All right, everything that's wrong with the house

in 20 seconds, go.

The floors aren't level...

The painters painted the floorboards first,

the staircase should be at least three feet over.

I could go on.

Mm-hm.

My turn?

Naturally.

A keen ability

to focus on the smallest and least important things.

Borderline obsessive slash crazy,

but that's one of the things I like about you.

Well, it's gotten me every job I've ever had.

Seriously, like, the crown moldings in the living room

don't match the entryway.

There's more?

Really? Okay.

Come on.

What's this?

It's your office.

Look, I realize, initially,

there's not going to be a lot of work,

but, you know, when you do decide to start drawing again,

then there's certainly enough here to...

Keep me occupied.

I get it.

It's nice, it's really nice.

I know haven't been the easiest person to...

Deal with lately.

True.

Really,

very sweet.

Accept my apology.

No.

Hey...

Hear that?

No. What?

Nothing.

Huh? No car alarms, no honking,

no gunshots, no city..

No family, no friends, no fun...

Again, sorry.

The city's just not affordable right now.

Right.

We'll get back to it.

Yes, and what if we don't?

I could always go back to prostitution.

Oh, yes!

You're so good at that.

Oh!

Okay, ew...

That is sick and I need therapy.

This is how you were made.

Oh, that's so gross.

You're a strange man, dad.

How was the drive?

Long.

You should've came with us.

Oh, yeah, 'cause that would've been so fun.

Is there anything to eat?

I'll order some pizza.

So I need books, a bus pass,

and lots of other living stuff.

Yeah, well, why don't you just

stay here with us while you go to school?

It's not that far a commute.

Half my stuff is already at the dorm.

So?

Cut the umbilical cord, Vic.

Are you going to leave me here alone with this?

You married him.

I did marry you.

Seriously,

why don't you just stay here with us?

I'll be fine, mom.

Well, when do you leave?

Tuesday.

That's quick.

She'll be fine.

I know.

What are you doing? Go back to sleep.

It's too quiet.

Sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to scare you.

Victoria.

Fritz.

Nice to meet you.

You guys settled in okay?

Settling, yeah.

Good.

Well, I should probably just get going.

Have a good day.

Yeah, you too.

Hurry up, we got to go.

Hey...

I was going to make something.

Too late.

We just got here.

Do you hate me?

A little.

And where are you going?

Campus orientation.

Well, when will you be back?

Soon.

I'll call you.

And I'm going to take the car.

Love you!

Bye.

Enjoy the quiet.

Hi. Excuse me?

Hello there.

Welcome to the neighborhood.

Thanks.

Do you know where the nearest deli is?

There's a food counter at the grocery store.

Food counter?

Where's that?

Close.

10-minute drive.

Drive...

Uh, okay, thank you.

Nice to meet you.

You too, sweetie.

Come out to visit.

It's a weekday.

Yeah, but it could be a sick day.

Yeah, what are you, 12?

You're no fun.

Look, on the weekend, I will come out.

I'll ingest various bottles of wine,

say things I shouldn't,

apologize in the morning.

It'll be good times.

You should see some of the work here.

It's... really nice work.

I'm sending you a pic.

I'm guessing you're taking pictures

of the workers as well?

Of course.

Did you get the pic?

No.

My new virus filters

are delaying email attachments from my phone.

Can you let me know when you get it?

I'm looking forward to it.

Anyways, hang in there, girl.

I miss you.

I miss you. Love your face.

Love you.

...so you're saying

that you think it might be the plague,

but in the same breath,

you're saying that it can't be?

Another hurricane?

There's an upper level trough of low pressure causing...

Better late than never.

Fritz!

Can you bring in the garbage can?

I know what I saw.

I understand that. I'm just trying to get the details.

His windows weren't blacked out before.

He's hiding something.

Hi there.

Hi.

Trust me, she wouldn't be making this up.

No, I'm not implying that she is, sir.

Then you need to go over there and take a look.

All right, I'll pay him a visit.

You saw someone in a cage?

Someone or something is inside that house.

Hi there, I'm detective Cornell.

We've had a noise complaint.

You don't call a detective

for a noise complaint.

My wife plastic-wraps everything

like she thinks it's going to go bad.

Coffee, tea?

Thanks, but I'm actually all coffeed out.

That song you were playing...

Wagner's Tannhauser.

Right.

Yeah, my ex dragged me to that opera.

Ex?

Yeah.
