[bunniefuu]

"It's reputation rests on the testimony

"of passersby and neighbors

"who reports sighting ghostly apparitions

"encircling the house or standing at the outer gate

[Abby] apparently seeking a way to get in."

Mama!

You have to keep an eye on Val, Karen. She's spooked.

Lilimae, you don't really think there's a ghost here, do you?

I'm not saying I do, and I'm not saying I don't.

[eerie music]

No, Abby!

[screams]

[theme music]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[ominous music]

[birds chirping]

[music continues]

Come on. The baby will be just fine with Kenny, Ginger.

I know she will.

Why don't you wait till we get on the road

before you start to worry.

I'm not worried.

We're definitely staying overnight, right?

Yeah, at a motel.

I mean, who wants to drive 100 miles up

and 100 miles back in the same day?

Believe me, your baby will survive one night of cow's milk.

I know she will. I'm excited about going.

I-I-I don't wanna cramp us in the car

but I-I don't want the sandwiches to spoil either.

Well, uh, why don't we keep them in the car?

That way we can start eating immediately.

- 'Morning.' - Sounds good to me.

- Hi. - 'Hi.'

- Hi, Karen. - Haven't you left yet?

Ha-ha. We're waiting for Abby.

Oh, imagine that.

Well, are you excited about your great adventure?

Well, we'd be more excited if you were coming with us.

Oh, boy, I wish I could.

Come on, Karen, Gary can take care of the dealership

for two days.

[Lilimae] 'I know the real reason'

Karen believes all those stories about the house.

Scared she'd see ghosts.

[chuckles] Oh, no, it's the prospect of seeing ghosts

that makes this trip very hard to resist.

[chuckles] So don't resist.

Just remember, Karen, no ghosts in the whole of time

ever hurt anybody.

Oooh.

- Mama. - It's your mother.

What?

Hi.

Listen, I'm sorry I, uh, I had to call Susan Mulhern

and make sure she was picking the kids up at school.

Did you change your mind, Karen?

- No. Uh-uh. - Oh.

Well, I'm so excited about this.

[chuckles] And I'm so glad you invited me, Laura.

I didn't invite you. You invited you.

Please come, Karen, and cancel her out.

Won't be nearly as much fun without you.

Well, there's no room.

Uh, there is if we take your station wagon.

Uh-huh. The old Mifflin house.

Skeletons in the closets.

- Ghosts in the woodwork. Oooh. - Oooh!

[laughs]

Come on.

Well..

I don't know why we're being so jolly.

For all we know, we could be heading

♪ Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo ♪

- Here you go. - Oh, thank you.

Did Scooter tell you anything about the house, Laura?

Umm, there was nothing to tell.

The old woman that lived there died

when the trustees of her estate hired our firm

to sell the house and everything in it.

♪ 78 bottles of beer on the wall ♪

- Now we're 77. - Wow.

♪ 77 bottles of beer on the wall ♪

[wind howling]

[Laura] Well, Scooter was going to drive up and take a look

see what kind of shape it's in

you know, get a rough idea of its inventory.

I begged him to let me do it.

[Karen] What kind of a nut begs to visit a haunted house?

[all] Me.

[women laughing]

[Abby] Well, I hate to disappoint you

but, uh, this may not be a haunted house at all.

Huh?

Well, the Mifflin house defies such categorization.

"No reports of ghosts originated from within the house.

"Its reputation rests on the testimony of passersby

and neighbors who reports sighting ghostly apparitions

encircling the house or standing at the outer gate

apparently seeking a way to get in."

What's the book?

"Hauntings." I took whatever they had in the library.

What else does it say?

"The apparitions appear in pairs and are small and shy

"reportedly fleeing at the approach of anyone earthly.

They are said to cry a distinctly child-like wail."

- Ooh. - Ooh, that's creepy.

The author's letters to Miss Claire Mifflin

were never answered.

[Laura] That's her. The lady who just died, Claire Mifflin.

[Valene] Is that all it says?

[Abby] Yes. It's only a footnote.

[Ginger] Maybe in one of the other books.

[Karen] Terrific, I take off work to be scared witless

and we wind up driving to a footnote.

[Abby] 'Do you know anything about the old lady?'

[Laura] 'Scooter said he'd heard two different stories'

'from people in the know.'

'One, that Claire Mifflin was a filthy, rich recluse'

'who surrounded herself'

'with fabulously expensive works of art.'

Since I work on commission, I'm pulling for that story.

[Abby] Well, what was the other version?

[Laura] That she was destitute had sold all her things

and lived with her cats on cat food.

- 'Ugh.' - How many cats?

How many cats? I don't know how many cats.

[chuckles]

Hundreds, I bet.

Ol' women like that like lots of cats.

Oh, old women like that.

We don't know what kind of old woman she was, mama.

- Never mind. - Oh.

Oh, I can see it all now.

Thousands of cats.

Cats in every nook and cranny

on every banister and railing behind every door.

Keep it up, Karen. Every word costs me money.

But if it makes you happy to torment me, fine.

[laughing]

[ominous music]

[music continues]

[birds chirping]

- It is terrific. - It is?

[Laura] 'Well, it will be once it's fixed up.'

[Valene] 'Oh, it sure doesn't look like my idea of a haunted house.'

[Lilimae] 'Well, a haunted house doesn't look a special way, sugar.'

[groaning]

- Laura. - What?

Here, take this.

Ah! Wow!

Oh!

[gasps]

Oh!

- Bye. - Karen.

- Imagine that. - Thanks a lot.

You're welcome.

Yeah.

- Okay. - Oh.

Well, let's go.

It's locked, Karen, I've got the key.

Huh? That's funny.

Well, they're careless. Come on, let's go.

- Ooh. - Oh, wow.

[Ginger] 'Oh, look at those tapestries.'

- Hey! - He-he, this is fabulous.

It is?

Well, you know, will be with a little imagination.

Laura. Come on, you don't have to sell us.

- We're not buying. - Always selling.

Well, where should we start?

Oh, it's always best to start at the beginning.

- Can I quote you on this? - I wish you would.

[camera shutter clicks]

Oh.

- Now, don't get jumpy. - Oh, I'm not, mama.

[screaming]

[exclaiming]

Jesus Christ. We're never gonna last here in this.

[laughing]

Why don't we, uh, why don't we head in there, okay?

- Come on, mama. - Oh!

[laughing] Hey? What's the matter?

I don't know. All of a sudden, I miss Erin Molly.

Oh, come on, we've only been gone three hours.

I know.

W-w-we came through the doors

and I got these pangs of missing her.

Oh, well, that happens sometimes

but don't worry about it. The baby will be fine.

- Really. - I know.

[clock chiming]

Hmm.

[Abby] 'Interesting.'

[Karen] 'Wow, it's big.'

It's not bad, huh?

- Yeah. - Oh!

He's attractive.

The furniture come with this place?

Well, it's all part of the estate.

Scooter has to decide whether he wants

to sell the furnishings with the house

or auction off the furnishings

and restore the house and put that on the market.

Oh, I see.

[mumbling]

Got my plans.

I think this thing is looking at me.

It looks like that.

Yeah, is there a powdering room in all these plans?

Well, let's see. There's one there.

And there's a bathroom in every bedroom.

- Oh, thanks. - Yeah, and we'll be right back.

- Interesting. - Ooh!

Is that it there?

Yes. Oh, y-you use the one upstairs, honey.

[indistinct laughter]

[indistinct chatter]

[Ginger] Ta-da!

[ominous music]

- Val? - What?

[chuckles] Smile.

[chuckles] Oh! Cheese.

What was that?

Nothing. It's probably just a draft.

Okay. We're gonna be in the library.

[ominous music]

[door creaking]

[camera shutter clicks]

Oh, how'd you do that?

- Do what? - Turn on the fountain.

Oh, I didn't. It was on.

Not when we came in, it wasn't.

- Are you sure? - Well, I'm pretty sure.

- Yeah. - No, it was on all along.

No, no, no, it couldn't have been.

You put your plans down right there.

They would have gotten all wet.

Maybe it's hooked up to automatic timers.

Ah, right.

I declare I'm beginning to enjoy this place.

If there are ghosts, they're friendly.

- Yeah, I hope so. - Ooh!

Let's go in there.

[ominous music]

[wind howling]

[blows]

[windows slamming]

[banging]

Laura!

[Valene] 'Laura?'

'Anybody out there?'

[music continues]

'Are you there?'

'Mama!'

[wind howling]

Karen!

Mama!

[clock chiming]

[camera shutter clicking]

[chuckles] I haven't seen one thing written after World w*r II.

Well, just let me know if you find any first editions, okay?

Laura, I'm gonna go check out the terrace

it is too musty in here for me.

I'll go with you. It's too depressing for me.

We'll be right out.

[banging]

Karen.

Mama!

All the faces in this house have not a smile on one of them.

That's because nobody can smile in a haunted house.

Karen, every time you say "haunted"

I hear the value of this property drop.

[Valene] 'Mama!'

[Valene banging on door]

[tense music]

Oh, my God. Valene!

Karen!

[knocking on door]

- Valene. - 'I'm here.'

[Valene] 'I'm in the bathroom! Help!'

Valene.

[Valene] 'Somebody pull open.'

'In here.'

Oh, my God. Valene.

- Are you okay? - It wouldn't open.

- What was it, Val? - It wouldn't open. It was..

Well, the door. It wouldn't open.

I heard someone crying.

I mean, they were crying.

Well, it must have stuck.

You know, that happens in all houses.

And the sound was just the wind.

- That's all it was. - I know what it was, but it..

Oh, Val, I would have been just as hysterical, more

you know, after reading ghost stories all day.

[music continues]

No, but it sounded like-like-like children.

It sounded like-like little girls crying.

Valene, your hands.

How did you do that?

- It was so cold. - What was cold?

- The water? - No, no, no, the wind.

I, see, I was trying to close the window

and-and the wind was so cold.

My hands were wet and it got real cold an-an-and icy.

Well, it's warm now.

Oh, well, I don't know.

Gee, I guess I-I just panicked

you know, I, I-I must have just scraped

in trying to close the window.

Well, it was nothing.

Oh, I've got some hand lotion downstairs.

Good. Okay, we'll, we'll just go downstairs and get the lotion.

Okay.

[ominous music]

[birds chirping]

- We found it. - What?

The story of this house.

[chuckles] It's in, uh, "A-haunting we will go."

It seems that old Beau Mifflin, the man who built this house

married a girl by the name of Susanna who was half his age.

[Abby] 'And the old man was crazy jealous'

thinking that Susanna was sleeping around which she wasn't

at least according to this book.

Of course, I don't know how they would know--

Stick to the story, Abby.

[inhales] Anyway, he was not only crazy jealous

he was crazy angry

because Susanna had given him three daughters and no sons.

[Abby] 'So between his various crazinesses'

'he went bonkers one night'

'and he tried to get the little girls to tell him'

who'd been coming around while he was away.

Well, they couldn't, of course, 'cause there wasn't anybody.

But he didn't believe that

so he tried beating it out of them.

How old were they?

Uh, Melissa was seven Belinda was five, and Claire was four.

Monster.

Susanna came to the rescue

but while she was trying to stop him, he k*lled her.

Oh.

So Beau buried Susanna somewhere around here, I suppose.

[exhales] And he left never to be seen again.

But the little girls lived alone here in this house

for months before anyone found them.

[Abby] 'Finally, a relative sent a governess for them'

but they actually spent the rest of their lives in this house.

Only they, uh, they never really grew up.

[birds chirping]

[eerie music]

'They dressed in little girls clothes'

'and played with dolls all their lives.'

It must have been real weird.

"Anyway, um, Melissa and Belinda

died in the late 1940s."

Uh.. In their 60s.

And Claire died a few months ago.

Mm-hmm.

Does it say anything about the ghosts?

Same as the other book.

"Two little apparitions trying to get in."

Belinda and Melissa.

I guess.

Now there are three

'cause I bet Claire has let 'em in.

I think it's kind of nice

that they're all back together again, don't you?

[dramatic music]

[chuckles]

[door opening]

[door creaking]

[door closes]

- Strange, isn't it? - What?

Well, a house so crammed full of junk antiques.

- For your potential clients. - Of course.

A house that is so cluttered

and yet there is nothing at all down here.

Oh, maybe it's because the sisters had nothing to store

because they never grew up.

Oh, come on, I've seen enough. Let's get out of here.

- Do you think Val is okay? - Oh, I hope so.

You know, when, when we found out

that you were coming up here, we all wanted to come along.

Yeah, well, haunted houses are intriguing.

[chuckles] The funny thing is, none of us really believe.

I mean, look at us.

We act almost disappointed

because nothing strange has happened.

And if we did believe, we'd be relieved, right?

[both] Except for Val.

[mumbling]

[clock ringing]

- Watch your step, mama. - Mm-hmm.

Oh, this is a horrible room.

It's a terrible house.

Well, I don't think it's so bad.

We've got to leave, Valene.

Well, I'm sure that we will soon.

Now.

Let's wait for the others outside.

[scoffs] Don't be silly, mama. I'm enjoying this.

How could you enjoy this place?

Oh, I think it's diseased.

Oh, it is not.

It might be lonely and maybe a little bit sad.

Certainly not diseased.

[Lilimae] 'Oh, let's go, honey. Let's find the others.'

In a minute.

[lullaby music]

[instrumental music]

[Karen] 'Ginger?'

Do you think they stayed in the same room

always for their whole life?

Well, it fits the story.

I'm gonna have this room fumigated

before I show this house to a soul.

[Laura] 'It just gives me the creeps.'

Well, I think I've seen just about enough.

[screaming]

[dramatic music]

Surprise!

Very funny.

[laughs] I couldn't resist.

I couldn't resist.

My heart.

[Laura] 'Alright, everybody, one last thing.'

We're gonna have a group picture.

[all groaning]

Oh, come on, everybody in front of the tapestry.

But you won't be in it then.

It's a small price to pay. Come on, tighten up.

- I wish I could.. - Tighten up.

Alright, Valene, turn a little toward Lilimae.

Uh..

What, Val?

- Uh, This way toward mama? - Right. Fine. Okay.

Okay. Smiles now.

Oh, what a good looking group.

[camera shutter clicks]

Uh-oh.

[rumbling]

- What? Oh, my God! - Oh, my God!

What was that?

- Did you feel it too? - The whole room moved.

- Oh. - It was an earthquake.

- Oh. - Of course.

[laughing]

- Is it funny? - Of course, it's funny.

Only in California would we be relieved by an earthquake.

Oh.

- Uh-oh. - Oh, no.

Oh, my God.

Why don't, uh..

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

- Come on. Come on. - Come on, mama.

[door creaking]

Do you think that was a real earthquake?

What else could it have been?

Well, if it was, we'll hear it on the radio.

[car door closes]

I can hardly wait to get out of here.

Alright, everybody, buckle up.

Well, where's the wedge? We'll call it.

How far is the motel?

It's not far. About eight or nine miles.

Do we have a reservation?

Oh, we don't need one this time of year.

Anyway, the owner is a friend of Scooter's.

You and your boss sure seem to know a lot about good motels.

- Ginger, my books back there? - Yeah, they're right here.

[clicking]

Karen. What's wrong?

[ominous music]

I don't believe it.

It won't start. It won't do anything.

Watch.

Oh, no.

[groans]

- Now what? - I don't know.

[Laura] 'Well, I guess we'll call the auto club.'

- Okay, what's the number? - Ah! Let's see.

The number is six. What's wrong?

- It's dead. - Oh, no.

We got here this afternoon. I checked it.

Well, sometimes you do things like that

you think you hear what you expect to hear.

- We're in trouble, right? - Well, no phone, no car.

Five or six miles to the nearest neighbor.

That constitutes trouble. Yes.

What we could do is take a long nighttime hike

down to that neighbor and try and use their phone.

- I'll go. - Yeah. I'll go.

Oh, come on, that's silly.

I mean, there's no reason

why we can't just stay here till morning.

No reason?

We've already been scared out of our wits a couple of times.

I sure don't wanna stay here tonight.

- None of us do, Ginger. - I'm starving.

Oh, there's still some fruit and cupcakes in the basket.

I'll go out to the car and get 'em.

Oh, I think I saw some instant coffee in the kitchen.

Okay, Abby, I'll show you how to make it.

You have to keep an eye on Val, Karen. She's spooked.

She does seem different.

- Upset. - She's not upset.

That's the trouble. She's not upset.

She feels something for those..

...for the little girls.

Lilimae, you don't really think there's ghosts here, do you?

I'm not saying I do, and I'm not saying I don't.

It's what Val thinks that matters.

[Karen] 'But you said it yourself. No ghost ever hurt anybody.'

No. They haven't.

[instrumental music]

But if Val believes they need her..

[wind howling]

[girl] 'Mommy.'

'Mommy.'

'Mommy.'

'Mommy.'

[Lilimae] 'Valene.'

Come on in, sugar.

I-it's getting cold.

Val, you alright?

Yes, mama, I'm fine.

[ominous music]

[match strikes]

[wind howling]

[blows]

Oh, where's the food?

Val went to get it.

And Lilimae went to get Val.

Val is flipping out, you know.

So well said, Abby.

Oh, the sound. Sad, isn't it?

- Sad? I think it's hideous. - Yeah.

I think I'm gonna light a fire in the living room.

[clattering]

In a minute.

[knocking on door]

[wind howling]

- Oh. - Oh.

- What is that? - It could be anything.

No, no, i-it says here

that certain kinds of untrapped energy--

Abby.

- I'm only trying to-- - You hush now.

[wind howling]

[gasping]

[knocking on door]

- What is that? - Nobody could find out.

[ominous music]

Oh.

No, Abby.

[screams]

[gasps]

Huh?

Who are you?

How about you answer that question?

My name is Laura Avery.

I'm the realtor handling this property.

Now, could you please tell me who you are

and what you're doing here?

I take care of the place.

Well, how come the door was unlocked when we arrived?

- Don't matter much. - What do you mean?

This house does pretty much what it wants to do.

[wind howling]

We need a jump.

- A what? - Our car won't start.

Sorry, I can't help you.

Well, then, could you take us to the nearest station?

I'm on foot.

Will you call the automobile club for us?

Tell them we're here.

They won't come. Nobody comes near this place at night.

- Why? - 'Cause they ain't stupid.

- Well, you came. - I'm stupid.

I could spend the night, if you're scared.

- Pass. - Suit yourself.

I'll call the auto club in the morning.

- Have a nice evening. - Mister?

Why won't anyone come here at night?

[ominous music]

[chuckles]

Oh, Lord.

He doesn't know anything. Forget him.

I'm going up to bed now.

We're gonna light a fire downstairs and stay together.

- Come on. It'll be fun. - Come on, honey.

Like a slumber party.

Thanks, but I'd rather go to sleep upstairs.

Goodnight.

[music continues]

What is with her?

I think she's seen a ghost.

[sighs]

Well, I wish you'd stay downstairs

with the others, sugar.

No, mama, they're just all being silly.

[chuckles]

Oh, I don't like this room.

But it was probably nice once, mama.

Whew.

[clock chiming]

[clock ticking]

[lullaby music]

Valene?

[ominous music]

Valene?

Valene?

Valene?

Valene?

Valene?

- What is it? - It's Val, she's run..

[Valene screaming]

Oh, Val! What is it?

[Valene] 'Oh, no. No, it's alright.'

'I'll go with you.'

- 'I'll go.' - What is it?

Val. Val, please.

What is it?

Val. Val, please.

[clattering]

Valene?

[door creaking]

Oh..

- 'Oh, my.' - 'Oh, my God!'

Oh!

- Be careful. - Oh, my God.

[wind howling]

[window slamming]

Oh, no. Valene.

[ominous music]

[insects chirping]

Valene?

Valene?

Valene.

[music continues]

[lullaby music]

[ominous music]

Lilimae?

Valene?

[insects chirping]

[music continues]

Valene.

[lullaby music]

[ominous music]

Valene?

[lullaby music]

[insects chirping]

[ominous music]

Valene?

- Valene! - Stop! Lilimae.

Wait.

- Come on back. Come on back. - No.

[insects chirping]

[instrumental music]

We can't keep looking, Lilimae.

We have to.

Lilimae, it's been three hours

and we're not getting anywhere.

Oh, my poor Valene.

She'll be back. She will. She'll be alright.

No, she won't. She's in trouble.

Lilimae, listen to me. This is not really happening.

It's not, it's not what you think.

You still don't see, do you?

I still don't believe in ghosts

if that's what you mean. No.

It doesn't matter whether they're ghosts or not.

Three little girls lost their mama in this house.

They grew old together and two of them died

and tried to get back in, but they couldn't.

Not until the third one was dead.

And finally Claire joined them

and they came together in their spirit life

to look for mama.

- Lilimae. - Val had a baby once.

[insects chirping]

And that baby was taken away from her.

My girl never got to raise hers

and it's been a big emptiness in her.

[wind howling]

A need that never was fulfilled.

Are you saying that those three little girls have picked up

on that need?

Val thinks they did.

The only way she can fulfill that need is to join them.

Whether they're ghosts or not, Val believes she has to die.

[insects chirping]

[ominous music]

[sighs]

[lullaby music]

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

So this is where it happened.

It's a m*rder. Wooo!

Abby, come on.

What do you think happened here tonight?

I don't know.

Ghost caused it.

I felt them the minute we came in this house.

We walked through the door

and, and I started missing Erin Molly.

Then why didn't the ghosts come after you?

[wind howling]

I don't know.

Because her mother instinct is being satisfied.

She's a practicing mother.

Val's instinct is frustrated and suppressed.

Do you really believe all this?

No.

I don't know.

Well, it sounded good, didn't it?

[chuckles]

[instrumental music]

Please, Karen. Look. It's just a little while longer. Please.

There's nothing we can do, honey.

We can't stop now.

We have to wait until it gets..

Any luck?

- No, no. - What are we gonna do?

We-we have to wait until it gets lighter.

We can't wait. We can't wait.

Come on. We'll go sit down.

- Oh. - Come on, come on. Come.

[wind howling]

- Oh. - It's okay.

[ominous music]

[girl] 'Mommy.'

'Mommy.'

'Mommy.'

'Mommy.'

'Mommy.'

'Mommy.'

'Mommy.'

[echoing] 'Mommy.'

'Mommy.'

[music continues]

Phew! I can't stand that sound.

[Val chuckles]

Oh!

No.

[music continues]

[dramatic music]

Hey. Hey!

[lullaby music]

I'm gonna get you.

[chuckles]

Come on, darlings. Come on.

[chuckles]

Valene?

[ominous music]

Valene.

Valene.

[wind howling]

[girl] 'Mommy.'

'Mommy.'

[Lilimae] 'Valene?'

[girl] 'Mommy.'

'Mommy.'

Valene. Valene.

Valene.

[music continues]

[girl] 'Mommy.'

'Mommy.'

'Mommy.'

'Mommy.'

'Mommy.'

'Mommy.'

[music continues]

Valene!

Valene! Valene!

[gasps] What was that?

It came from outside.

- What are you doing? - They want me to go with them.

[dramatic music]

Where is it coming from?

- Where? - Up there.

- Oh, my God. - Ah.

Come away from the roof, you'll fall.

Oh. Come on.

No, mama. They're waiting for me.

Can't you see?

- God! Val! - Val! Val!

- Val! - Val!

Honey, come away from there.

They need someone to take care of them.

They need me.

- Val! - Valene!

[all] Val!

- They need me. - No, no, no.

It's me. It's me they want.

It's me.

I'm here, little girls.

Mama's here.

Melissa, Belinda, Claire.

Mama's home.

No, mama. They want me to come to them.

No, th-th-they need me.

- Mama, don't you see? - I need you, Val. I need you.

Oh, please, honey, I love you. Please.

- Oh, mama. - Please. Please.

[sobbing]

Oh, my gosh.

[crying]

Oh, mama.

- Oh, Val! - Oh, mama.

[Lilimae sobbing]

[shivering]

It's alright now.

[instrumental music]

It's alright.

Everything's alright.

I love you, mama. Come on.

I love you too, mama.

- Hey! Oh! - Come on, mama.

[indistinct chatter]

Oh.

I saw them too, Karen. Remember that?

Did you really, mama?

Are you just saying that?

No. Why would I lie?

- 'I saw 'em clear as day.' - Why do you doubt her?

- Don't you think you saw them? - Oh, yeah, I saw 'em.

I just said that because if I didn't see ghost

then I-I must have gone crazy last night.

And I just don't feel like a crazy person.

Oh, you're probably the least crazy person I know.

[chuckles] Come on, sugar.

Oh, look at Juliet.

[chuckling]

Looks nice.

This is a great pillar shot.

- I do great pillar shots. - You do.

Alright, Karen, what now?

Do we wait, or do we start walking?

That man said he'd call the auto club.

Oh, that idiot doesn't have enough brains to dial a phone.

Val, you and I are the best walkers.

How about we go for help?

- Okay. - Wait a minute.

Uh, just to be sure.

[engine ignites]

[exclaiming]

I'm so glad to get out of here.

Why doesn't that surprise me?

Oh, look, our group picture.

- Oh. - Oh, what a disappointment.

You know, I was sort of hoping

our hostesses would be in the shot.

- Oh, I look dumb, Laura. - I look great.

I think you give up a little too easily.

What is it?

[lullaby music]

Not very photogenic, are they?

Time to leave.

[ominous music]

[engine whirring]

[girl] 'Mommy.'

'Mommy.'
