[looking at the "Door Of Hell"]
You don't get this from the Martha Stewart catalog.
A line from Theo
You feel cut off from the world, but the world has missed you. Happy tossing and turning.

Eleanor
Have you ever kept something for yourself because you were afraid?
Theo
All the time.
Theo
Hi. Don't worry, I'm not an obsessive packer. It's just a cheap and exploitative way of making new friends. I'm Theo.
Eleanor
Eleanor. But everybody calls me Nell.
Theo
Well, "Everybody Calls Me Nell". Don't you love it here? It's like Charles Foster Kane meets the Munsters.
Dr. Marrow
Let me explain what's happening here. You're participating in a study on group fear and hysteria.
Luke
What? That's it, that's what this was all about?
Theo
You brought us here to scare us, is that it?
Dr. Marrow
Yes.
Luke
And you were just waiting for her to have a total nervous breakdown before you said it. I mean, what is your problem?
Theo
Isn't it based on the Gates of Hell, by Rodin?
Eleanor
Well, it's not just hell. You see the children, they're reaching up for heaven. But their souls are trapped in Purgatory. And these are the demons... who can hold onto your soul for as long as they want.
Theo
Did you study art?
Eleanor
No, I studied Purgatory. I was there once for 11 years. It's when your soul is caught between the living and the dead.
Theo
Is this one of your sick jokes, Luke?
Luke
What? You really think I wrote that?
Theo
You found it; you could have.
Luke
How, with the 20-foot ladder I keep in my back pocket?
