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.
