hey, how's my little tiger?
well, we'll look for it real hard later. let me talk to mommy.
hi, babe -- whaddya say you put on a sexy dress, and i take you out to dinner tonight?
just a little surprise.
i'm leaving here now; be home in half an hour.
bye, babe.
i thought it was nice.
are the kids asleep?
honey, in ten seconds i eat the staircase.
i'm not wearing that thing!
bye, carol.
i've eaten enough breadsticks to turn into a pretzel.
oh, yeah. brace yourself.
good. i got the sack today.
the can.  i was fired!
you don't believe me?
well, wally did call me into his office today. and he did tell me i didn't have my old job anymore.
are you ready for this?
regional!
nah, district.
i'll be the youngest district manager in the company's history. god, am i hungry!
it sure does.
a lot.
and a car.
what's the matter? you don't like your food?
jill, what's happening? what's wrong?
wait a minute! just hold on! sweetheart, what was him? what are you talking about?
he was on the phone?
hello, carol, it's mr. lockhart. what's going on over there?
is everything all right?
are you sure?
carol, listen to me very carefully. if there's a man in the house, if there's any reason why you can't talk to me right now, just answer yes to me over the phone. that's all. if there's any danger of any kind, just say yes.
carol, i'm sorry about all the hysterics. we're leaving the restaurant now. we'll explain everything when we get home. before we hang up, could you do just one more thing for me, please?
would you go upstairs and, and check on the children for me?
officer, i'm john lockhart. just a second please, and i'll explain everything.
the babysitter. the guy got into the house and killed the two children upstairs.
that's right. that's the one.
carol? carol?
jill!
nothing was wrong?
if i ever get my hands on the guy that made that call.
he disguised it though, didn't he? same as before?
look, we promised never to talk about this.
what are we supposed to do? leave town? take the kids and lock ourselves up somewhere? come on.  let's get a good night's sleep, and in the morning we can rethink this whole thing.
try to relax, honey. i'm here. we're both here. the house is locked up. the cops'll be just outside all night long. we're safe now.
okay. look. if it'll make you feel any better.
i'll keep it right here beside me all night. you know i'm a light sleeper and a damn good shot. are you satisfied?
hey, you're not putting me through anything that you don't have to go through yourself. i'm with you all the way. trust me. okay?
that's my girl.
now try to relax. we'll get some sleep. you'll be surprised how differently things will look in the morning.
what?
naw. those kids'd sleep through an earthquake. they're good kids. here, take a couple of these. they're just what the doctor ordered.
you know, i read somewhere about this psychological thing called hysterical delusion or hysterical recall or something. it had to do with how an event from your past can sneak up on you sometimes and fool you when it's only just a memory. i don't know. we'll talk about it in the morning. maybe there's someone we can see about that.
