LYDIA<br />
Oh God, Delia. They were<br />
ghosts! Ghosts! They didn't<br />
have any feet!<br />
DELIA<br />
Lydia, I'm going to kill you,<br />
honest to God I'm going to kill<br />
you. I'm going to lock you in<br />
that basement like you were a<br />
goddamned hyacinth.<br />
LYDIA stands open-mouthed with the wet photograph. DELIA turns<br />
on her heel and storms up the stairs.<br />
DELIA (cont)<br />
Cathy! Cathy! I'm going to<br />
kill you too.<br />
INT: CHARLES'S OFFICE -- DAY<br />
Later in the day. LYDIA has calmed down, changed clothes. She<br />
now has a number of the prints. CATHY's t<strong>here</strong> too, looking at<br />
the prints, saying nothing, and certainly not giving away the<br />
fact that she talked to the ghosts.<br />
CHARLES is seated before the word processor, vainly trying to<br />
work.<br />
LYDIA<br />
Can you believe it? I mean,<br />
this is the weirdest --<br />
CHARLES<br />
Lydia, I don't know what it<br />
is with you and these practical<br />
jokes, but --<br />
LYDIA<br />
THIS IS NOT A JOKE!<br />
CHARLES<br />
This is air-brushing. This is<br />
a result of that class you took<br />
in air-brushing last fall. It's<br />
pretty good, but I've seen better.<br />
Now would you two please --<br />
The door of the room flies open, and t<strong>here</strong> stands DELIA, carrying<br />
several sets of sheets.<br />
DELIA<br />
I want you two girls to know<br />
that t<strong>here</strong> is no Ralph Lauren<br />
outlet in Winter River. Which<br />
means that Otho and Evelyn<br />
-- our very first overnight<br />
guests in this house -- are going<br />
to be sleeping tonight on a<br />
polyester blend.<br />
She flings the sheets at LYDIA and CATHY.<br />
LYDIA<br />
Delia, look at these pictures.<br />
Please. Just for a minute.<br />
Honest. T<strong>here</strong> are ghosts in<br />
this house.<br />
CATHY<br />
T<strong>here</strong> are. I've seen them.<br />
The family stare at her for a minute.<br />
CATHY (cont)<br />
I talked to them. They're<br />
very nice. (Beat) Their names<br />
are Adam and Barbara, and they<br />
live --<br />
In the midst of this, DELIA explodes.<br />
DELIA<br />
I can't believe you two are doing<br />
this to me! Ghosts. Ghosts.<br />
Otho and Evelyn will be <strong>here</strong> in<br />
half an hour and I haven't even<br />
begun to salt the ducks and<br />
you are coming to me with this
