Are you insinuating --<br />
CATHY doesn't answer.<br />
OTHO<br />
(To CATHY) You can see them,<br />
can't you?<br />
CHARLES<br />
W<strong>here</strong> do they live? Hide out?<br />
OTHO<br />
All presences have a home<br />
space. A place w<strong>here</strong> they<br />
work out of, so to speak.<br />
CATHY<br />
The attic.<br />
DELIA<br />
(To CATHY) Well then, come<br />
on.<br />
INT: LANDING OUTSIDE OF ATTIC<br />
CATHY AND DELIA<br />
DELIA<br />
They're in t<strong>here</strong>? This is<br />
w<strong>here</strong> they've been hiding<br />
out?<br />
CATHY nods. DELIA pounds on the door.<br />
DELIA<br />
All right, you dead people,<br />
come on out, or we're going<br />
to break down this goddamn<br />
door and drag you downstairs.<br />
CATHY<br />
Why don't you say please?<br />
DELIA<br />
You've got to take the<br />
right tone in things like this,<br />
Cathy, or people -- whether<br />
they're dead or alive -- people<br />
will walk all over you. These<br />
are lessons that it's important<br />
for you to learn. (Loud) Come<br />
on you, or I will make death<br />
so miserable for you that you<br />
will wish you had never been<br />
buried.<br />
The door cracks open with an EERIE WHINE.<br />
INT: LIVING ROOM -- NIGHT<br />
The family waiting, expectant. DELIA comes down the stairs with<br />
a smug smile. CATHY follows, looking worried.<br />
CHARLES<br />
Are they coming?<br />
OTHO<br />
They're already <strong>here</strong>. I can<br />
feel it.<br />
EVELYN<br />
(Sceptical)<br />
How do we know?<br />
She looks at CHARLES, as if to say, DELIA's Trying To Pull a Fast<br />
One.<br />
Then, quite suddenly, these things happen:<br />
An ugly modern lamp is knocked over and smashed.<br />
An enormous rip appears in a dreadful canvas on the wall.<br />
The ugly rug in the center of the room has a pentangle charred<br />
into it.<br />
All the chairs are knocked over backwards, with everyone<br />
spilling out.<br />
T<strong>here</strong>'s a moment of stunned silence, and then the DEETZs and<br />
their two guests -- without saying a word -- get up and begin<br />
politely to applaud.
