Hello, Michael.
This is Sylvia Demarco from River City Realters.
Who?
I called yesterday.
Oh.
About the house on Evergreen Street,
you should really take some time and clean up in there.
The basement takes up most of my time.
The basement.
Yes, ma'am.
The owner wants it sealed off from the rest of the house.
That's an odd decision.
To keep out pests and the like.
Well, anyway, good news.
The couple I brought by yesterday
are interested in putting in an offer.
I left a message with your boss, Eric.
I'm sure you'll be hearing from him soon.
This weekend, (mumbles)...
The basement won't be ready by then.
The party is pre-approved, and we are moving forward.
I left a message with the owner,
and I'm sure you'll be hearing from him soon.
(Mumbles)
[PHONE BEEPS, DOOR OPENS]
You're not welcome.
[ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPING]
Mr. Smith, this is our third attempt
to reach you regarding overdue medical bills.
If you do not contact the billing department
at the Prodigy Medical Group within 30 days,
we'll be forced to take legal action.
[ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPING]
(Reading from the bible) For according to the great plan of the eternal God,
there must be an atonement made,
or else all mankind must unavoidably perish.
Yeah, all are hardened.
Yeah, all are fallen and are lost.
And must perish except the beat through the atonement.
[VIOLENT COUGHING]
[TEA KETTLE WHISLTES]
Hi, Mom.
So how goes the house hunt?
Good.
We found a place we both really like.
The inspection is this weekend.
Baby, y'all, I'm so happy for you guys,
and finally buying a house meets settling down.
And settling down sometimes means you having a baby--
In other news. … I see.
Well, how's Justin liking his new job, then?
He's working with the research department now.
He seems to like it much better.
Did he get a raise?
Enough for us to buy a house.
[DOOR OPENS]
(mumbling)
Is that Justin?
Yeah, he just walked in.
Looks like it was a pretty long day at work.
Now you go have a glass of wine-- or two.
You know, relax.
Forget the condom.
OK.
I love you, Mom.
OK, honey.
I love you, too.
[PHONE BEEPS]
How was your day?
Another one of the servers is on the fritz.
Want some good news?
I would love some good news.
Hmmm. What will you give me in return?
Well, that depends.
Just how good is the news?
It's pretty good.
Consider my interest piqued.
Sylvia called earlier this afternoon. (Justin GROANS)
The home inspection is scheduled for this weekend.
That is good news!
What do you say we go celebrate?
And, hey, I'll even do that thing you like.
[LAUGHS]
Yeah, let's do it!
[DOOR OPENS] Come on, Em!.
Good morning, Michael.
Hello, Sylvia.
This is the inspector, Kyle.
We've met.
It's good to see you again.
Likewise.
You the Callaway family?
Nice to meet you.
You ready to take a look around the place?
Yeah, absolutely.
I like starting at the top and working my way down.
Any objections?
(whispers) Oh, I am quite familiar with the method.
Justin! [STAIRS CREAK]
[DOOR OPENS] This is the master bedroom.
I'll get started.
You're welcome to wander around while I work.
All right, the electrical is in working order.
[CLOSET OPENS] And the closet light bulb is missing.
Stay out here, please.
[FLASHLIGHT CLICKS ON]
There’s an unfinished wall behind this closet.
[DRYWALL CRUMBLING, COUGHING] Are you OK?
It looks really dusty in here.
Yeah.
Look at that.
It kind of looks like fairy dust.
Huh, I wonder if it's some kind of this special flashlight--
or something.
Well, the back wall is exposed and poorly insulated.
It'll definitely lose heat in the winter.
Yeah, that's fine.
It should be easy enough to fix.
Have you done much home repair?
No, but I've got power tools.
And the internet.
I got this.
That's the spirit.
If you say so, you can go to a crazyflashlight.com
for all your building supplies.
What?
Nevermind— I'm done in here.
Let's move on.
[DOOR OPENS] This is a great sized second bedroom.
So that's Michael, huh?
Say again?
The guy's staring out the windows over there.
Yep.
That's Michael.
He's the property manager.
Great view, huh?
I feel like I'm in a tree house.
What?
I, I feel like I'm in a tree house...
I'm done up here.
Let's head downstairs. [STAIRS CREAK]
I'm going into the bathroom.
Don't turn on any faucets.
God, what is Michael's deal?
He's giving me the creeps.
He's harmless.
The owner Eric won't deal with anyone else.
So he's a necessary evil, unfortunately.
Michael, there's another bulb out over the stove.
I thought you were supposed to fix things like that.
I'm done what I can.
Hey, I got something to show you.
See your Lord, baby Jesus.
Thank you.
Kyle, I'm coming.
So Emily, do you have any big plans for the basement?
I'd love to have an art studio down there.
[TRILLING SOUND BUILDS] I wouldn't do that.
[TRILLING FADES, FOOTSTEPS APPROACH] It's nothing to worry about, guys.
How much longer is it going to take?
Almost done in here.
I think I'll wait outside.
Yep, right behind you. [DOOR OPENS, SOUNDS OF NATURE, MUFFLED TALKING]
Ready to head down?
Yes.
We're dying to take a look.
Do you have the key this time?
The locks are different.
We noticed.
Can you open the door, please?
I've been working down here.
Be careful what you touch.
The door. [TENSE MUSIC BUILDS]
If you insist.
