In the whole house, for that matter.

And in a place she's never seen before.

- Well, maybe you'd like it better

if she were upset.

Well, would you?

- What are you talking about?

- Listen, George.

This is getting pretty ridiculous.

You know and | know

that I've had a nervous breakdown, right?

Well, it's not hereditary,

and it isn't catching.

The way you go around

analyzing everything Cathy says or does,

it's too much, George.

- Darling, you don't understand.

My feelings are just the opposite.

I'm just delighted to see Cathy

with so much confidence.

And I'm thrilled because

she seems to feel so at home here.

That's all | meant.

Maybe | expressed myself badly.

I'm sorry if I've upset you.

I'm so pleased to see

Cathy will have some new friends to play with.

- Your home is perfectly charming.

- | should warn you.

Agatha has an absolute passion

for anything having to do with the past.

- You know, Vivian,

if you listen to Margaret long enough,

she'll convince you that I'm not exactly normal.

- Oh, you know | would never

say anything like that.

But Agatha is the only person | know

who can make inanimate objects talk.

- Make inanimate objects talk?

What do you mean?

- It's actually quite simple.

Every object, animate or inanimate,

has its own story.

Its own history, in fact.

Now, when a medium is present--

- Agatha is a medium.

- Yes, it's true.

That's why I'm so attracted to old things.

They have experienced so much.

They tell me so much.

Take, for example,

that photograph over there.

- It's a picture of my husband's father.

| never met him, but this was his house.
