The first 200 lines.
Let's go.
Wait, wait, wait.
Can we go, just the two of us?
Look, if this is gonna work, you two need to get along.
She doesn't like me.
Well, it takes effort from both sides.
She's had a hard time lately, that's all I'm saying.
Come on, you know I didn't mean anything by it.
Just come.
OK.
But you're gonna make it up to me later.
OK, I will.
I mean with dinner...out.
Yeah, OK.
Look at how many of you there are.
Oh, cool.
You think all the you's are thinking the same thing?
Yeah, they're thinking, "Get me out of this TV."
I can't believe you're doing homework.
AP classes.
Um, you girls better clean up.
Emmy, get ready.
We're leaving in a half.
Is she going?
Yes, she's going.
Can't I just stay here?
We're leaving in a half.
She's so fake.
She seems nice.
Yeah, too nice.
Yeah, well, at least she leaves you alone.
My step-mom always wants to hang out,
even bribes me with wine coolers.
It's pitiful.
This is actually a really good price for 70 acres.
We foreclosed on this house eight months ago.
It's only now just coming on the market.
That's sad.
It's not so sad. It had to go to somebody.
OK, peeps.
Lunch?
Lunch, for sure.
OK, I see how it is.
Ah, well, at least we agreed on something.
Yes, we do...at last.
Well, what do we think?
Got anything else?
Jesus, man, you shouldn't sneak up on people.
Sorry about that.
Not too keen on the neighborhood, huh?
Not really.
Well, I don't blame you.
It's pre-fab crap around here.
You live around here?
Me? No, no, no, no.
Is that your son?
Yeah.
You know, you look like a man who needs some space.
You know, a place you can really stretch your legs.
What if I told you I had just the place?
I should have figured you were trying to sell something.
You a realtor?
No, no, this is my place.
The open house is today.
70 acres.
It's a real escape from the world.
70 acres?
That's a deal for 70 acres. What's the catch?
Oh, there's no strings attached.
You just have to really want it.
I'll hope to see you there.
Come on, Ollie.
So, Em, want to go shopping tomorrow?
We could, um, go to a movie.
What else could we do?
I guess we could, um...
Who's that guy?
Who?
Did you see that?
Careful! Sorry, sir.
Did you see that man?
What man?
Him?
-His face! -Shh!
Great tour.
Yeah, we could do this today.
We'll give you a call.
There has been a lot of interest in the place.
We'll give you a call.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It was great.
You should've gone inside, and the price is perfect.
It's not right.
What's wrong with it? You didn't even give it a chance.
It had a pool.
How long exactly do you plan on staying with us?
Jesus, Don.
I am sorry to burden you.
It's your fault you're in that thing.
It's yuppy-ville around here, drives me crazy.
Come on, let's take a look at this place.
Where did you get that?
I want to go home!
It won't take long.
I'm telling you what I saw!
Oh, my God. I saw him, too.
There was nothing wrong with him,
except for the tacky hat.
Dad, why won't you listen to me?
Please, Emmy,
I understand you don't want to be here, OK, but really!
This has nothing to do with her!
Her?
Is that how I'm referred to now?
I'll refer to you any way I like!
Both of you, stop it!
Now we're going to go see this house,
and then we're going to go home.
And I don't want to hear any more about it
from either of you.
I don't want to hear a word!
That's him, that's the guy from the restaurant.
Emmy!
Come on.
Look at this place!
Huh?
Well, it looks like we missed the open house.
Technically it's still an open house.
Hello?
Hello?
Welcome to lot number 6485.
Feel free to take a look around.
Press the buttons on the speakers
you see around the house to hear about this great place!
I think you'll like what you see.
People are so lazy nowadays.
Well, we can go in.
Who's this?
This is more like it.
Hi.
I take it you're not the realtor?
No.
We're the Hayses.
I'm Charlie Hays.
Don.
The door was wide open, we just peeked in.
The number's on the sign, we'll just get it.
I'm cold. I'm gonna go sit in the car.
Bye.
He seems friendly.
He sees us as competition,
and well he should.
For what?
Oh, come on, this is pristine!
70 acres in the middle of nowhere.
That's my point.
The service out here sucks.
Dad!
-Is everybody OK? -Yeah.
-Emmy? -I'm fine.
You didn't hit her, did you?
No, he didn't hit her.
You didn't, did you?
No.
I don't think so.
Hello?
Oh, my God.
Hello?
Would you help me, please?
What's the matter? Is somebody after you?
I think she bit her tongue.
Just keep her down.
Did you hit her?
No, she ran out of the woods in front of the car, we swerved.
What's wrong with her mouth?
She bit her tongue.
Fucking gross.
She's in shock. How do you know?
I'm a nurse.
She was running from someone.
Do you think this is why the house is empty?
What... well, what do you mean?
Let's get out of here, let's get her to the hospital.
One, two, three.
Hey! Hey!
Don! What are you doing?
Could you turn the heat up, please?
She's freezing.
Who do you think she is?
Maybe a runaway?
Who cares? I just want her out of my car.
How can you say that?
Easy. There's something off.
Or am I the only one to see that?
No, Don, for God's sakes.
You're not the only one who sees that something's off.
OK, I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for this.
Sure there is.
Does any of this seem reasonable to you?
