:13:09
Look. The "Burning Man."
:13:12
Isn't that quaint?
:13:15
Yes, very quaint.
:13:17
It is.
:13:19
Where else would you find
a tavern with a name like that?
:13:51
We were trying to find
a certain house here in town...
:13:55
and we thought perhaps
you could help us.
:13:57
- Whose house is it?
- Ours.
:14:00
I know that sounds silly.
:14:02
It belonged
to the Curwen family.
:14:04
We inherited it.
:14:06
- Curwen, you say?
- Yes, that's right.
:14:08
I don't know of any such house.
:14:13
All right. Thank you anyway.
:14:19
Just a minute.
:14:23
Why do you want to know
about the Curwen place?
:14:25
Because it belongs to us.
:14:28
Your name is Curwen?
:14:29
No, our name is Ward.
:14:31
Then...?
:14:32
Joseph Curwen was
my great-great-grandfather.
:14:35
Can you tell us
where the house is?
:14:38
I can, but I won't.
:14:40
That's what I like
about you New Englanders...
:14:43
you're so friendly.
:14:46
Come, Ann.
We'll find it oursel...
:14:47
Mr. Ward! Don't go there.
:14:49
It isn't a house. It's
a madman's palace as old as sin.
:14:53
Palace? In America?
:14:55
Brought over stone by stone.
:14:57
Brought over from where?
:14:58
Europe somewhere. No one knows.
No one wants to know.
