Most people hide from their fears.

We call them cowards, but theytend to outlive the brave.

Some fears are too great to be ignored,

too relentless to free.

Sometimes, there's no option,to turn and face your fears,

and see what happens.

[barking]

There are apartments up in Somerville, you know?

None that I can afford.

Besides, I like old buildings.

I like fixing a place up from scratch.

Do you like the color?

Oh, it's OK.

I like white.

It makes everything lookbigger and brighter-- virtuous.

Paint covers a lot of sins.

Not that one.

Oh, brave woman.

Move into a city where you hardly know anyone.

I do know someone.

Come to the bar this weekend.

I'll introduce you to some more people.

Maybe.

I've got a lot to do.

Thanks for helping me.

It's OK.

You need a friend.

Maybe one day I'll need a favor.

I guess I owe you then.

[thud]

[tires screeching]

Hey, wait. Wait, wait, wait.

Hey, wait.

You live around here?

[dog barking]

Hey, Paula.

Hey.

I was wondering when you'd show.

Thought I might find you here.

You finished painting, I hope?

I did.

Thanks for your help.

Pleasure. This is Dave.

Dave, Jane.

Jane and I teach together.- Good to meet you.

Hi.

And Richard.

Hi.

Hi.

Would you like to sit?

Yes.

Thanks.

Are you the Jane from south Roxbury?

I'm afraid so.

Brave lady.

Ah, it's not so bad.

I grew up in south Roxbury.

See.

Besides, it's all I can afford.

There's transportation nearby,interesting street life.

I like it.

Then why are you so afraid?

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

I can see it in you.

Psychologist penetrates the human mind.

I think there might be something

in my building stalking me.- Jesus.

Did you call the police?

What do you think?

They weren't very helpful.

They just gave me a bunchof pamphlets to read.

Well, what did he look like?

I don't know.

I just saw his eyes in the mail slot.

What makes you think he lives in your building?

Well, there's a dog in the opposite apartment

and he barks when I walk by.

But, I don't know, I justthink it might be him.

Why don't you just nailsomething over the mail slot?

If he can't peep there,he'll peep somewhere else.

How come you know so much about peeping?

It's a-- it's a guy thing.

If a guy can't look atwhat's he wants to look at,

he's going to look somewhere else.

For a psychologist,you are one sick bastard.

They're sophisticates.

Look, if you're justignoring this guy, that's

not going to make him go away.

You've got to come up with some kind of plan.

I just met you.

Do you think you should be nagging me?

You're right.

It must be the feminist in me.

Would you like a drink?

Can I get you a drink from the Bar

- Yeah. - Yeah?

Sure.

Yeah, I'll come with you.

I didn't mean to implybefore that you don't know

how to take care of yourself.

It's just it's a guy thing.

You know, a guy meets a woman he likes

and he wants to protect her.

But what was Richard saying?

He said that if a guy doesn'tget what he wants then

he just moves on.

I don't think Richard is qualified

to talk about the guy thing.

Schmuck thing, maybe. Hey, hey, hey.

Maybe we should hang back,catch him in the act.

[dog barking]

Famous barking dog?

Proves one thing.

What?

I'm not him.

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

Nice place.

Thanks.

Nice place.

Lots of books.

Lots of books.

I used to read a lot.

Classics mostly.

You don't any more?

No.

I gave it up for dove hunting,stock car racing, you know,

the guy thing.

[dog barking]

Hey.

Hey.

It's just a stupid dog.

A stupid dog.

[music playing]

You OK?

Yeah.

Thanks.

For what?

For just being with me.

Hey, it's a tough job butsomebody's got to do it.

Hey.

Hey.

Why don't I hang out for a couple of days, huh?

You know, prep some curtains,put down some nails.

Whoever he is, he'll get the idea,

you know, you're not livingalone and he'll go away.

I don't know.

OK.

Well, why don't you come and stay

at my place for a few days?

I don't really want to do that either.

I'm just trying to help.

This is my new home.

I'm fine.

Why don't you just coverthe stupid thing up, huh?

Get a post office box?

I know what I'm doing.

OK.

If you want to talk, I'm in the book.

OK?

Thanks.

Let's see you get off on that, you bastard.

[knocking]

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Why?

Because today is Tuesday.

You didn't show up for the department

meeting, or your class, or answer

the phone when we called.

They sent me over to check up on you.

I'm sorry, I just-- I had a long night.

Dave's OK but no reason to endanger your job.

It's not Dave.

So what is it?

That man who's been watching me--

I can't get him out of my mind.

- What are you doing? - Calling the police.

They can't help here.

I told you.

OK.

Then we're going to talk to the neighbors.

I don't know them.

Well, you're going to meet them.

Let's see if anybody here can help us.

Let's start with dog man across the hall.

I can't do that.

Yes you can.

If he's in this building, this is

the best way to flush him out.

Let the bastard know we're onto him

and you're not going to take this anymore.

[barking]

Dog man.

[knocking]

[barking]

Get down.

Hi.

I'm Paula.

Well, he seemed normal enough to me, though you

never know these days.

What?

What?

That was him.

You're sure?

Yes, I'm certain.

Jane, get your coat.

Why?

We're going to go down to the university.

They have a health service there.

They have people that you can talk to.

No.

Why?

This is my home.

You see, the new paint, curtains, books--

that can't be chased away.

I have to go back to work.

I'm late.

I'll come back later.

I'll bring someone.

Jane.

[people murmuring]

Lady?

[laughing]

We see what we expect to see and feel

what we expect to feel.

And if we expect to be afraid,then we will be afraid.

But that's a fool's game.

If you live your life in anticipation of doom

and the certainty of it, if you know

it will find you, andoverwhelm you, why fight it?
