Sorority House Massacre

Hi, Mrs. Lawrence.

Oh dear.

What happened?

It must have all started

the moment I entered the house.

Hi.

You!

What is it?

Nothing.

I was getting worried about you.

How have you been?

Just okay.

It takes a while.

You can have Connie, Robin, and Wendy's room.

Hi, Beth.

Hi, Trace.

They all took off early.

Okay.

Well, it'll be good to be around you guys,

I've been kind of lonely.

- Well, if you need anything, I'm at the end of the hall.

Thanks.

And you'll see, after a weekend with us,

you're gonna wanna join this sorority.

Jesus Christ.

Did you see the look on that mother's face?

Should we have taped him up like that?

You wanna listen to him all night?

No, maybe we should call Dr. Lindsey.

No, let the lady sleep.

She'll be here in the morning.

Where are you going?

In there.

In the house?

Yes.

Be careful.

Hey, Con?

Oops.

Well, you're Beth, right?

Right.

Hi, I'm Sara.

Hi.

Oh, how'd you do that?

I don't know.

I've had it since before I can remember.

Mmm.

You wouldn't happen to have a sweater

to go with this, would you?

Mm-mm.

Me neither, oh well.

Cindy, can I please, please,

please borrow your pink jacket?

Not a chance.

How's this?

Thanks Linda, you saved my life.

Sure.

Have you seen my black boots?

Tracy's got 'em.

Trace?

Cindy's going to Palm Springs.

So?

So, her Memorial Day weekend's

gonna be a little more memorable than ours.

What's the emergency?

My boots, please.

Say, Linda.

Go ahead.

Steve's going rafting this weekend.

Well, invite him here.

I did, he's going rafting.

He's the slug.

Hey, Beth.

Ready for some major fun this weekend?

Yeah, I could use it.

What's with Beth?

God, talk about glum.

Shh, her aunt died.

But that was weeks ago.

God Tracy, get sensitive.

Her aunt raised her, it's like her mom died.

Oh, well I didn't know.

Well, I've got a nine o'clock.

Great, we can all walk together.

First thing tomorrow we have to call the rental house.

I already arranged everything.

What?

You actually care about setting up the pow-wow?

The sooner we set it up,

the sooner it's out of the way.

That's the old sorority spirit.

Oh, shit.

What?

- I got the wrong book, you guys go on ahead.

No, we'll wait.

Beth?

Come on, we gotta go!

Beth?

Are you okay?

I, I don't know.

What happened?

I saw this horrible guy.

Hey take it easy, there's no guy here.

If there were, Tracy would've found him.

When did he become agitated?

Late last night.

Said they had to strap him in.

I wonder what triggered it.

I mean, too chic.

My mom made me promise to wear it

after those muggings last month.

Did you guys hear the story about the pet pig?

Ew, who'd want a pet pig?

- A family moved from Dayton to Miami, got it?

From Ohio to Florida,

and this pig found its way back to them.

So now they have to move again.

- It's like it picked up on a psychic beacon.

Or in this case a psychic bacon.

Mrs. Lawrence stopped by.

What's she doing?

She's going with her boyfriend.

Really?

Oh, yeah.

- Oh, come on, you guys, it's so meaningless.

You guys, I gotta go, I'm late.

Bye.

Okay, see you, bye.

I'll see you later.

Okay, I'll see you at the house later.

Is he okay?

- I don't know what his problem is, but he wants out bad.

What does he think's out there?

I need a sedative.

Coming right up.

- Okay, people, books under your desks, here we go.

Compare, contrast, and comment on

the differences and similarities in theory

and in therapeutic practice between traditional

psychoanalysis and behavior modifications.

Great, a pop psychology quiz.

Death.

It comes to all of us.

Yet how often do we consider our own mortality?

Too frequently we're caught up in daily

matters of the self to face this aspect.

- Everyone in here has probably experienced

deja vu or clairvoyancy, the strong feeling that you've

been in the same situation before

or that you know exactly what's going to happen.

In Back to Brazil, Freedinland uses foreshadowing

and repetition to recreate these feelings in the reader.

Let's talk about how she uses this.

- Well, uh, isn't Freedinland trying to, uh.

- He didn't even touch the most interesting stuff.

You'll like this.

Some studies show the brain waves can be transmitted

and received like light and sound waves.

Really?

The actual brain waves?

- Yeah, they did this really neat experiment

where they took a mother cat and separated her

from her kittens by hundreds of miles.

Then when they killed the kittens—

They killed the kittens?

The mother cat cried at the exact

moment that each kitten died.

She knew what was happening by brain wave.

Now admit it, that's amazing.

Forget amazing.

It's cruel, that's really horrible Andy.

It's okay, Sara.

- It is not, talk about reptilian behavior.

Ready to do a little mind reading?

- You sure you wanna know what this guy's thinkin'?

Okay.

Let's find out what's bothering you.

One down, three to go.

Oh, well thank you very much.

You could be over here helping us.

Come on everybody, let's go!

Somebody's tennis racket.

Okay hurry up.

- Goodbye, Mrs. Lawrence, have a nice weekend.

- Oh thanks honey, you girls have a good time too.

Oh, remember to keep the doors locked,

and remind Linda, she always forgets.

There's a spare key in the basement if you need one

and I left my hotel number on the fridge.

Okay.

Was it something that—

Hold it, something's wrong,

I'm getting a high incidence of theta waves.

No he frequently reads theta.

What do you mean, he walks around

half asleep half awake all the time?
