Are you the guys hiding out in the attic?
We're ghosts!
What do you look like under there?
Aren't you scared?
I'm not scared of sheets. Are you gross under there? Are you Night of the Living Dead under there? Like all bloody veins and pus?
Night of the what?
Living Dead. It's a movie.
You know, if I had seen a ghost at your age I would have been scared out of my wits.
You can see us without the sheets?
Of course I can see you.
Well, how is it you see us and nobody else can?
Well, I've read through that handbook for the recently deceased. It says: 'live people ignore the strange and unusual. I, myself, am strange and unusual.
You look like a regular girl to me.
You've read our book?
Yeah.
You can follow it?
Yeah. Why were you guys creeping around in Delia's bedroom?
We were trying to scare your mother.
Stepmother. Anyway, you can't scare her. She's sleeping with Prince Valium tonight.
