House Of Leaves

Spanish school-teacher: Well now, after all that thinking, wouldn't it be fine if we could take a little trip? We will do it. I know a game we all like to play inside la casa--the house. We will play hide and seek.

Daughter:
I can hear myself; I'm somewhere in there. What's
happening? Daddy?

Mother:
Nobody's home...nobody's home....

Father:
I thought he was dead.

Daughter:
Where are you?

Father:
Dead.

[Daughter crying.]
{Father: (soft) I wasn't sure if I'm going to survive this horror....}

Brother: No one should (fading) brave the underworld alone.

French song (Dominique):
Mother and Father:
Dominique, nique, nique
S'en allait tout simplement
Routier pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux
Il ne parle que du bon Dieu
Il ne parle que du bon Dieu

Father:
Try now to take the next step.

[RING.]
Father:
You sing very well Annie.
[RING.]

Mother:
Hello? Hello?

Daughter:
Mom?
