(female #1) 'Okay, I'll give you a hint.'

He's handsome, rich

popular, muscular, hot, happening

andcaptain of the football team.

Kurt Walmart asked you out?

No. Not exactly. I asked him.

- Heidi! - Well, he said yes.

And since your mom's playin' bridge at my house tonight

I was kinda hopin' that I could bring him over here.

- No way! - Come on, Lis.

You're my closest, best, most personal friend.

Where else can I turn?

Heidi, if you bring him here, you know what's gonna happen.

That's the plan.

Please. Please.

[grunting] Oh! I don't know why I let you talk me into these things.

Thank you.

There's one other small problem.

- How small? - Practically invisible.

I promised the Burtons I'd sit for them tonight.

Not a chance! I have to study for my biology exam.

Lis, you can study over there.

No!

Absolutely not.

Come on, if you do this for me, I'll owe you my life.

Forget it.

Lis, you're my only hope.

I'm begging you.

What are you gonna do for me?

Mm... I'll set you up with one of Kurt's friends?

Done! You're a lifesaver.

Um, here's the Burtons' address.

I already phoned them and told them that you'd be filling in.

I have faith in our friendship.

Well, I better get home and get started on my hair.

Wait a second.

Heidi, I don't even know the Burtons.

How many kids do they have

Don't worry about it. It's a piece of cake.

[intense music]

[doorbell rings]

[knocking on door]

[door creaks]

Hello?

Hello?

Got you! You're dead!

[laughing]

Hi.

I'm Lisa, the sitter?

My name's Will and I'm this many years old.

Hi, Will. Are your parents here?

[rattling]

[girl moaning]

What was that?

[moaning continues]

[rattling]

There it is again.

Oh, that. That's my sister, Patty.

[dramatic music]

(Freddy) 'Patty.'

'Patty.'

Patty cake. Yeah.

Patty cake, Patty cake, baker's man

catch a babysitter as fast as I can.

So you want to be a babysitter?

Wanna get paid?

Rule number one, don't die on the job.

[laughing]

Hi, I'm Jack Burton, you must be Lisa?

Hello. Um, can I talk to you about this noi...

Jill, come on, we're already late!

Uh, Mr. Burton, I was wondering if I could

ask you about this noise that I...

Why is it that wives go out of their way

so that their husbands can never get anywhere on time?

Jill?

Mr. Bur..

Come on, honey, we're already four minutes late.

Okay, dear, I'm ready.

Make sure William is in bed by 10 o'clock.

Lisa, remember, under no circumstances are you

to open this basement door.

Mrs. Burton, that's what I wanted to talk to you about.

- Oh, didn't Heidi tell you? - 'Tell me what?'

- Honey.. - Oh, I'm sorry.

- We're really late. - But what about the...

Oh, it'll be just fine if you don't open the door.

If you get hungry, fix yourself a sandwich.

And you, young man, behave yourself.

[intense music]

Will, what was Heidi supposed to tell me?

You mean about my sister, Patty?

Yes, about your sister, Patty.

Oh, she lives in the basement.

She's been locked in there a really long time.

Why?

When I was little she tried to hurt me a lot.

The doctors wanted her to live in the hospital.

My daddy wouldn't let them take her.

So he locked her in the basement?

- Do you ever go down there? - Uh, I..

Nobody does.

[growling]

Come on, it's bedtime.

It's not 10 o'clock!

Now.

[intense music]

You have to read to me before I can go to sleep.

Sure.

"I Was A Grade School Zombie.

"By R. "Dog" Thomas."

Your parents let you read this stuff?

They bought it for me.

Wouldn't you rather hear "Peter Pan"

or maybe "Sleeping Beauty?

I like this.

Okay.

Let's see.

"I knew I was different from the other kids when..

[instrumental music]

"and the grizzly hand from hell reached out

"and pulled her deeper and deeper..

"and everybody was dead

Every last one of them."

[music continues]

[rattling]

[dramatic music]

[rattling]

[screaming]

Lisa, wake up, wake up!

You didn't finish the story!

[heavy breathing]

(Lisa on recorder) 'Tell me who you are'

'and I'll call you back as soon as I get in.'

[beeps]

Heidi? If you're there, pick up.

'Oh! Wait till I get my hands on you!'

'You failed to mention that the Burtons'

'had a deranged daughter locked in the basement!'

I'm not thrilled about it, Heidi.

This is not a normal family here.

'I don't know why I'm leaving you this message!'

'This is my machine!'

Damn it!

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[Patty screaming]

[intense music]

[Patty crying]

[sighs]

[clock ticking]

[dramatic music]

[gasps]

[dramatic music]

Oh, my God. Will!

Will? Will, are you out here?

Will?

Will!

[music continues]

Will!

- Help me, Lisa! - No!

- Lisa, please help me.. - Will!

[dramatic music]

[Patty moaning]

[sighs]

[Patty moaning]

Will.

What are you doing?

I couldn't sleep.

I like to listen.

Oh, geez, you scared the hell out of me.

She misses me.

- What? - My sister, Patty.

She misses me.

[Patty groaning]

Will, go on up to bed.

Go ahead.

I'll be right up to tuck you in.

[Patty groaning]

Patty?

[Patty grunting]

Hello?

[Patty groaning]

[intense music]

Patty?

Hello?

Are you really in there?

I'm Lisa.

Patty?

[clang]

[Patty laughing]

[machine beeps]

(Lisa) 'Heidi? Heidi, if you don't pick up'

'besides never talking to you again, I'll float a rumor'

'at school that you gave Kurt your herpes.'

- She's just kidding. - 'Heidi?'

'Heidi!'

Lisa, is that you?

Why didn't you tell me

about the Burtons' daughter, Patty?

Look, can we discuss this in the morning?

No, we'll discuss this now.

What is it you were supposed to tell me

about their daughter, Patty?

Nothing! Just that she's a little crazy.

A little crazy?

(Heidi) 'She's not even their real daughter.'

Oh, well, then who are Patty's real parents?

'I don't really know.'

Well, they say that her father's

in the Springwood Asylum for the criminally insane

and that her mother was a nurse there

that she committed suicide.

Then the Burtons' adopted her?

Um, technically, Mr. Burton did.

Um, the first Mrs. Burton died.

They said Patty killed her.

'But it could have been an accident.'

That's it. I'm out of here.

Lis, what's the big deal?

It's not like she can get out of the basement.

I don't care! This is too weird. I'm leaving.

I'm giving you 20 minutes to get your butt over here.

'Even if you don't show up, I'm leaving in 20 minutes.'

Okay, I'll be there.

[clock ticking]

[instrumental music]

[Patty growls]

[intense music]

Geez.

Ah!

Ah!

[screaming]

[intense music]

[intense music]

[gasps] Oh, Jesus, Heidi. Don't do that.

Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

Oh, thank God, you're here

This place gives me the creeps.

Can you wait a second while I go upstairs

and check on Will, then you can leave.

Okay, I've survived this long.

[telephone ringing]

Hello?

(Heidi) 'I'm leaving now, okay, Lis?'

[chuckles] Heidi, that's not funny.

'What's not funny?'

You're calling me from upstairs!

'What are you talkin' about?'

Heidi, stop it, come on. You just went upstairs.

'Lis, I'm at your house.'

Stop kidding, Heidi. It's not funny!

'Lis, I don't know who's over there, but it sure isn't me.'

'Here, listen.'

(Lisa on recorder) 'Hi, this is Lisa.'

'I'm not home to answer this call'

'so tell me who you are and I'll call you back'

'as soon as I get in.'

Then if you're not upstairs..

'Oh, my God, Lis, get out of the house now.'

(Will) 'Help me, Lisa!'

'Help me. Lisa, help me!'

Let go of him!

[intense music]

[grunting]

[telephone beeping]

[dramatic music]

[intense music]

Oh, God!

Will?

Will!

Answer me!

[Patty growls]

God.

I'm coming, Will, I'm coming!

[door creaks]

Will?

Will, are you in there?

[Lisa screams]

[Patty laughs]

[Lisa screaming]

[Patty laughing]

[Patty laughing]

(Lisa) 'Let me out!'

'Let me out!'

'Let me out!'

'Let me out!'

(Heidi) 'She's not here.'

'So that had to be Lisa that whizzed by us.'

'I mean, it was Lisa's car.'

[scoffs] I can't believe her.

She left a six year old up there all by himself.

[scoffs] Some best friend.

[engine revving]

[sighs]

Heidi, what are you doing here? Where's Lisa?

Um, she had to get up early tomorrow

so I came over.

This is Kurt.

- Hello, Kurt. - 'Hi.'

Uh, I'm going up to check on Will.

- Here you go, Heidi. - Thanks, Mr. Burton.

[Lisa crying]

[rattling]

Well, um, we'd better get going.

[chuckles] Yeah.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

Honey, do you realize it's almost been two years

since we've seen Patty.

It's dangerous to go down there. You remember what she's like.

[sighs] She's-she's still our daughter.

She was the daughter you and Maggie adopted.

'And look what happened to Maggie.'

Right here.

That bloodstain never came out of the floorboards.

We had to lay carpet.

I just wish we had another choice.

Jack, I worked in the asylum for seven years.

You should see the way patients like Patty are treated there.

It's much worse.

'And even in the asylum, those same patients'

'are kept in isolation.'

'No contact.'

It's just not smart we go down in that basement.

She's not ready for the outside world.

I know. You're right. I..

At least she's at home and at least we're still a family.

[instrumental music]

[screaming]

[car honking]

[muttering]

Goodnight, Patty. We love you.

[screaming]

When will they learn? When will they learn?

You never, ever send a girl to do a man's job.

Besides, I've got evenings free.

Just check my records.

Uh, you'll find that I'm great with kids.

[laughing]

[birds chirping]

You were the last people to see her alive

when she was babysitting for you.

We were shocked when we heard

about the accident the next morning.

[gasps] That was a month ago today.

I've kept her room exactly the same.

Exactly the way she left it for when she comes home.

Mrs. Wax, the police said Lisa was killed in the accident.

They're lying. They never found her body.

I know my baby is still alive.

But your daughter's car was completely incinerated

Nobody could have survived

[Lisa screaming]

Lisa graduates next month

and we've designed her prom dress together.

She's gonna look so beautiful.

Oh!

Ah, you, you'll make sure these get around the neighborhood.

- Won't you? - Of course.

- Thanks. Bye. - Bye.

No!

No, mom! Mom!

Mom, I'm here. Mom, I'm here!

Poor woman.

When is she going to accept her daughter is dead?

[screaming]

Honey, did you feed Patty this morning?

Her favorite. Bacon and eggs.

(Jill) 'Poor child.'

Please!

(Lisa) 'Please.'

[intense music]

(Freddy) 'Ah! That's music to my ears.'

'Looks like Lisa's got herself a new mailing address.'

Maybe she wants out of here.

Or maybe she's, uh, lookin' for some room service.

[laughs] You know what I mean.

I know you're coming home.

I know you're coming home.

Coming home. Coming home.

I'm afraid you're not gonn find very much in there.

'Oh, please! Please, don't run away.'

'Don't run away. Please, please. I won't, I won't hurt you.'

Uh, do you live around here?

Uh, do you have some place to sleep?

What about your parents?

Well, they must be worried sick about you.

Y-you know, I have a daughter exactly your age.

'She's getting ready for her prom.'

Would you like to come home with me?

'I can make you something hot to eat.'

Would you like something hot to eat?

Come home with me.

Come on, baby. Come here.

Come on. Come on home with me.

'I-I'll fix you something hot.'

You probably can't even remember the last time

you had a hot meal.

Oh, I hope you'll like this.

My Lisa. Oh, she loves to eat.

Her favorite is my blueberry walnut cake.

[gasps] I think I'll bake one today.

'For when she comes home.'

Why don't you go upstairs and take a shower, okay?

'Cause it's gonna take a while.

[intense music]

[muttering]

[intense music]

[laughs]

I'm coming, Will. I'm coming.

[door creaks]

Will.

Will, are you in there?

[screams]

[laughs]

(Lisa) 'Patty! No!'

'No!'

[Lisa screams]

(Lisa) 'Let me out!'

(Lisa) 'Let me out!'

'Let me out!'

'Let me out!'

[laughs]

Oh.

Hot off the stove.

I hope you like it.

Mother, have you seen my makeup kit?

- Lisa? - I can't find it anywhere.

You're back.

Oh, what's going on?

- I've gotta go. - 'Why?'

I just can't stay.

I'm changing, mother

and I really think I need my makeup.

I just can't let you see me like this.

[Mrs. Wax gasps]

There is some more if you're still hungry.

Lisa.

You aren't dead.

You have come home.

Oh, I promise. We'll never be apart again

Ow.

[instrumental music]

We're all out of blueberry walnut cake downstairs

and I have nothing to wear for tomorrow.

Who are you?

Mother, don't be ridiculous.

It's me, Lisa. Your daughter.

Lisa is downstairs getting a, getting a glass of milk.

Yeah, I've been meaning to talk to you about that.

'Mother, you know I don't like'

'other people sleeping in my bed.'

You shouldn't be here.

And wearing my clothes.

I want you to leave.

Okay, but remember, mother

if you don't get rid of her, I will.

[intense music]

[muttering]

- Lisa? - What is it, mother?

Ah, oh, nothing.

You just... you forgot to put the milk away.

I'm sorry, mother.

- Goodnight. - Night, mother.

We're gonna have to take some new photographs

'for those frames, huh?'

Okay.

Don't!

Don't ever close my door, mother. I want it open.

Oh..

- I'm sorry, honey. - All the way.

[chuckles] I-I don't like being closed in.

Are you my Lisa?

Thanks again for picking little Will up from school

No problem.

Will, what do you say to Heidi?

Can I have a quarter?

Heidi, would you mind dropping something off at Mrs. Wax's?

No, not at all.

You know, I've really been worried

about her since Lisa's accident.

'She's been acting very strangely.'

'It must be hard for you.'

Yeah, Lisa was my best friend.

I still can't believe she's gone.

Things happen in life that have no explanation.

[Lisa screaming]

This is my famous nut cake.

I'll see that she gets it.

Oh, thanks.

Hey, aren't you gonna say goodbye

to Lisa before you go?

Mrs. Wax, I know it must be hard for you to accept it.

I mean, it's hard for me too, but Lisa is dead.

Oh, don't be silly. She's upstairs.

Mrs. Wax, maybe you should talk to someone about this

Are you two arguing again?

Oh, that's it. You must be having another fight.

I think you should patch things up.

- Mrs. Wax, you should.. - 'Mother.'

Uh-oh!

She's looking for these. We're working on her prom dress.

Um, you run upstairs and give her those

and I've got to run to the store and I'll be back

in a little bit.

[instrumental music]

Lisa?

- Lisa, is that you? - 'Yes.'

Lisa!

[screams]

Have a good time, girls.

Don't play too rough.

- What are you doing? - I warned you, mother.

If you didn't get rid of her, I would.

No!

Wake up! Wake up!

Oh, thank, thank God you're, you're alright.

You were having a nightmare.

Oh!

She won't, she won't leave me alone.

(Patty) 'Who, mother?'

That girl. The girl in all my dreams.

She-she says she's my daughter.

But I'm your daughter, right?

- Well... - I am, mother.

Oh! Well, yes.

Yes, but she, she says you're not and..

and she wants to kill you.

We can't allow that now, can we?

I don't wanna dream that again.

I know.

The next time she appears in your dream..

you'll have to kill her

Then she'll never bother you again.

In my dream?

Kill her in my dream?

It's the only way, mother.

[grunts]

[instrumental music]

[grunts]

[door rattling]

Mom! Mom, I'm home...

- 'Stop!' - What?

Stop or I'll shoot.

Mother, what are you doing?

- You don't belong here. - What?

You're trying to hurt my Lisa.

I'm Lisa.

'Mother, I was trapped in a basement.'

I had to dig my way out.

I was trying to get back to you and I was so scared.

- I have to stop you. - 'Why?'

'Mom, what's wrong?'

It's me. Lisa.

You're not Lisa. You're lying.

(Lisa) 'Look at me.'

Don't you recognize your own daughter?

It's me. I'm Lisa.

(Patty) 'No, she's not.'

I'm Lisa.

What is this?

- 'Who are you?' - I'm Lisa Wax.

(Lisa) Mother.

Who is this person and why is she in our house?

The question is, what are you doing in our house?

Remember, mother. This is your dream.

Kill her now and she'll never bother us again.

Oh, my God.

I know you.

You're that Burton girl.

- 'You did this to me.' - Kill her, kill her now.

Don't forget she is your nightmare.

No! Wait!

Listen to me.

'She's lying.'

'Her name is Patty.'

'Patty Burton.'

You remember, mother?

I went there that night to babysit.

'Remember?'

'You remember Mr. Burton?'

Mom, remember his first wife died

and they think Patty killed her.

'And then she tried to kill her stepbrother.'

'And her parents keep her locked up in the basement'

because they don't want to put her in a mental hospital.

- She's lying. - 'No, I'm not.'

Mother, when I opened the door to the basement that night

'she locked me in.'

Shoot her. Shoot her now!

- Well, I don't know.. - Yes, you do.

- I'm your daughter. She's not. - I don't know..

She tried to kill me. Remember?

'Remember your dream? Remember how real it was?'

Don't listen to her.

Mom, she's making it up.

Am I?

Remember, mother, you promised to bake me

a blueberry walnut cake, didn't you?

- Oh, how did she know? - Oh!

And the prom.

We worked so hard designing that dress.

[chuckles] The dress..

It's my dress.

You lying bitch!

I'll kill you.

[gunshots]

Oh.

[intense music]

[chuckles]

[clanking]

[clanking]

Will, what are you doing in there?

What, daddy?

Who's in the kitchen?

Wonder what that noise was

Jack.

[intense music]

Who opened this door?

What's going on here?

Oh, my God.

[intense music]

[door creaking]

Patty, are you in there?

Patty?

Patty?

Patty?

[intense music]

[laughing]

Patty, no!

(Jack) 'Patty, Patty, open the door.'

'We love you, honey, please, just open the door.'

- 'Patty!' - 'Patty!'

- 'Patty!' - 'Patty!'

[instrumental music]

[chuckles]

Hi, Will.

I'm home.

[intense music]

(Jill) 'Baby, open the door.'

'Open the door, sweetheart.'

(Jack) 'We love you. We do, Patty, we do.'

'Just, please, open the door!'

- 'Patty!' - 'Patty!'

- 'We love you.' - 'Patty!'

(both) 'Patty!'

'Patty!'

Wallie!

Beeve!

Ward!

June, I am home!

Oh, nothing breaks me up like these holiday reunions.

Why, thanks.

[blowing nose]

[groans]

[laughing]

Well, guess, I'll just be heading home for the holidays.

Well, I can probably use some help carving the turkey.

That's, uh, that's what we call pa back home, turkey.

[laughing] Get it?

[sneezing]

[theme music]
