Within (Crawlspace)

Nice.

Aren't you only supposed to do that right after you're married?

You're, like, a year late.

Yeah, better safe than sorry, though, right?

If I tripped on the way in, it'd probably bring bad luck.

Wait, is that why people do that? Yeah.

- You should read less. - Thanks.

Excuse me.

Does this, like, go upstairs?

Easy, easy, easy.

We don't have nearly enough stuff to fill this place.

Then we'll get more stuff.

This is going well.

Oh, yeah, it's going great.

Hannah, your room's the last one on the right.

Come on, Monty. This is our new room.

I don't blame you.

So?

Feels like I've gone from house arrest to solitary confinement.

Come on, look on the bright side.

It's a lot bigger than your old room.

Yeah. Feels too big.

Yeah, well, that's 'cause you gotta picture your stuff

thrown all over the place.

Look at that. Smaller already.

I don't think Monty likes it.

Aw. Well, he will. Takes time.

You realize that we're locked into a 30-year mortgage, right?

Yes, I am aware of the mortgage.

Just saying that if we wanted to wait till all our stuff's moved in

before we start hanging things on the wall,

we totally could.

I mean, there's plenty of time.

I just want it to feel like home as quickly as possible,

especially for Hannah. Mmm.

You know, it's not pictures and furniture that make a home, Mel.

It's the people living in it.

Besides, I know you're only hanging up this stuff

to get out of actually carrying anything.

Get away from me.

I love you, Hannah.

This is the last of it.

This goes in the living room. Oh, hey.

Twenty bucks, that thing ends up in the trash.

Okay, I hear you.

Hannah?

What do you think?

I think it would look better in the corner.

That's what I thought, but your dad thinks--

He's as far away from an interior designer as you get.

Help me push it back.

There we go.

Much better.

Whoa! Careful.

No.

Sounds like your distributor.

What's that?

Distributor. It's probably just a loose wire.

Easy fix. Well, I do like easy.

Easy means cheap.

Ray Walsh. Hey. John Alexander. Nice to meet you.

So, you're the new neighbor. Yup.

You mind? Knock yourself out.

So, you're a locksmith?

In this economy?

That, and then some.

Why? You need something?

No, just the realtor suggested we rekey all the locks, so...

There's something about this neighborhood we should know about?

No, no, no.

That's just common sense.

Never know who's running around with access to your place.

Say bye to Hannah, Rachel.

Bye, Hannah. I'm gonna miss you.

You're gonna miss her? Good.

What's up, bro? Hannah! You have a good one!

Miss you. Bye!

Bye. We're gonna miss you.

We'll miss you so much--

Couldn't help yourself, huh?

Sound of a bad engine's like my Batsignal, Mel.

Can't just ignore it.

How's he seem? Nice?

Yeah, nice enough.

He's actually gonna rekey our locks for us.

Oh.

First moving casualty, huh? Loved that lamp.

Aw, that's a shame. I know.

Hey, you got 20 bucks on you?

Huh?

Let's roll!

It's better right here, I promise.

You can't put it in front of a vent.

It... There's...

Look, there's space for ventilation to go--

It's right in front of it, though. Okay, but we don't have to...

Where are you, anyway?

It's the only room I could find a wireless signal.

I guess it's gonna be the office.

Until it becomes a nursery.

Don't even joke about that.

I wasn't joking.

Wait, what?

Are you sure you're not freaking out or anything?

About us? No.

No, we'll be fine.

But it's not like you're gonna find

a new boyfriend in suburbia--

Wait, wait. Tommy, you're breaking up. And plus...

Shit.

First dinner in the new house, we gotta toast to that, right?

Really, Mel? I'm fine with water.

No. See, you can't toast with water.

It's bad luck. This isn't, like...

A test, is it?

It's not a test. It's a toast.

To us...

To family...

To home.

Who were you talking to upstairs?

Tommy.

How's he doing?

I guess he's fine.

You know, I think a little distance will be good for both of you.

And I think that you're wrong.

And I think you better-- What's Becky up to this summer?

Maybe after you've settled in, she can come visit for a few days.

Look, we know how hard this is.

If there was another way, we would-- There was another way.

I could have stayed with any of my friends.

For the whole year? Yes.

It's my senior year, Mel.

You really think we're ready to trust you again?

John.

You're right. I'm sorry.

Whatever.

Leave that, I'll take it to work.

I love you, Hannah.

Monty, it's okay.

Easy, Monty.

I think you should go a little easier on Hannah.

Easier on her?

She's a teenager, John.

Yeah, she's a teenager who threw a party

that almost destroyed our old house,

who got arrested for underage drinking.

Oh, right. Because you never drank

or went to parties as a teenager.

Never got arrested.

Oh. What are you doing?

I think you know what I'm doing.

Um, I'm not really feeling this shirt.

What? This is my lucky shirt.

Stop.

Nice try, Dad.

Monty?

What are you doing out there?

Dad! What's the code? 1-0-6-1-8!

Are you all right? Monty was outside.

So I opened the door. I don't know how he got there.

That's probably the alarm company.

I'll get it. You guys go back to bed.

Who ate all the Chinese food?

I thought you said you guys were gonna leave me some.

Oh, don't look at me. Have you seen my keys?

Little nervous for your first day at the library, huh?

Books are books. Ooh, have you seen my keys?

Yes. Spare's by the front door.

Great. Thank you. Bye.

Hey, don't forget, Ray's coming over for the locks.

You're not the only one that drinks milk, you know.

It's fine. We're family.

Have you seen Monty? Nope.

He'll show up. He's probably just getting

acquainted with the neighborhood.

Hey, come with me for a second.

What? Did you get me a new car?

Not exactly.

What is all this stuff?

Previous owners walked away from their mortgage,

so we had to buy the place as is.

I guess this is what they meant by "as is."

Okay. But what does this have to do with me?

Well, since you're grounded for the next two months,

I thought I would give you something to do.

Tell you what, so it's not all bad.

You can keep anything in here you think is valuable.

Aw. Gee, thanks.

Gotta go.

Hey, think fast.

Shit.

That's the new neighbor.

- Let's go say hi. - She's staring.

- Let's get out of here. - Go, go. Go.

So that just happened.

Ms. Alexander?

I didn't mean to scare you. No, no, you didn't.

I just... I completely forgot you were coming over.

Well, you got a lot on your plate.

Tell you what, don't mind me.
