:23:00
maybe she'd let me
spend the night with her.
:23:03
Well, huh, I thought
you were gonna stay here.
:23:06
There's a spare room
upstairs
:23:08
and you're
more than welcome to it.
:23:10
Uh, l... I don't think
that's such a good idea.
:23:13
Why?
:23:16
I don't mean to hurt
your feelings or anything,
:23:20
but Myrna was talking about
you at the diner today.
:23:22
Mrs. Spool kept on telling
her to shush but she wouldn't.
:23:25
She said you'd been
locked up.
:23:30
Did she say why?
Well, I'll tell you.
:23:34
When I was 12,
my mother went mad,
:23:38
so I put some poison
in her tea.
:23:41
You know? Just...
:23:43
I'm all right now.
:23:46
You sure?
:23:47
Sure.
:23:48
Otherwise they wouldn't have given
me a job in a diner, would they?
:23:51
I don't know.
It takes a nut to work there.
:23:56
Oh, boy!
:23:58
Look, I-I-I'm sorry,
but I don't want to...
:24:01
What if I told you
that I needed you to stay?
:24:06
Why would you need me?
:24:08
Because this is
the first night
:24:10
I've spent in this house
in years, much less alone.
:24:14
A lot of my troubles
:24:16
had to do
with this house.
:24:18
So you see, I'm as scared as you
are, just for different reasons.
:24:24
I-I'm sorry,
but l... l...
:24:25
Please.
:24:30
That bad, huh?
:24:46
No. Not... Not... Not that one.
:24:49
This one over there.
:24:51
What's wrong
with this one?
:24:52
Well, that, uh, used
to belong to my mother.
:24:56
But she's dead,
isn't she?
:24:59
Yeah.
