Rumsfield] Really?
- S-Say, how is, uh...
the... drainage
on your property here?
I know when it rains at our house...
[Chuckling] boy, the basement
Just floods right over.
Basement? Ray comes up
with a winning idea.
Maybe we should go
take a look in the basement.
Maybe that was brother
down there...
tapping on the ceiling
a couple minutes ago.
Who knows?
Just what kind of doctor
is this brother of yours?
Why don't you
ask him yourself?
[Footsteps Ascending]
[Door Closes]
Ah, we have guests.
Sort of.
My brother, the doctor.
Werner Klopek.
[Clicks Heels]
How nice to meet you.
Ray Peterson.
Oh, pardon my glove.
[Chains Rattling, Growling]

[Opera]
I thought the candles
would be romantic... for the ladies.
- Oh. [Laughs]
- They're lovely.
I really must apologize
for the paint.
I was just touching up
one of my pictures.
I find painting relaxes me.
- [Hans Slurping]
- [Insect Buzzing]
- Sugar substitute?
- No, thank you.
[Werner]
It was impolite of us not to have
introduced ourselves sooner.
I find my work is rather solitary.
It always keeps us on the move.
Did you know we've had to move
four times in as many years?
- Oh, all that moving must be
very hard on you, Hans.
- [Insect Buzzing]
Indeed.
And tomorrow...
Tomorrow we must all go
to the university...
to discuss yet another transfer.
No. And we're just
getting to know you.
That's a shame.
Isn't that a shame, honey?
That's a shame.
Says who?
And I was just remarking...
to Hans... today...
how nice it would be...
to meet all
of our new neighbours...
and here you are.
- [Rumsfield]
Actually, we're not all here.
- [Werner] Oh?
Walter, the old man next door.
We don't know where the hell he is.
Oh, God! Jesus Christ!
[Yelling]
Sorry! Sorry! Ow!
Terrible thing,
the plight of the elderly.
We were just remarking
the other day...
about how an old guy like that...
could just drop off
the face of the Earth without a sign.
Vanish. No one ever see him again.
No trace. Nothing.
- [Kicks Floorboard]
- Right, Ray? Yesterday, wasn't it?
We werejust talking
about it yesterday.
I bet you were.
[Kicks Floorboard]
Why don't wejust cut all this
polite crap, all right?
What's the weird goddam noise
you got comin' outta here all the time?
Uh, I think we should go...
What have you got
in the cellar, Herr Klopek?
- [Bonnie] Mark!
- Ray.
Come on. Tell him what you saw.
Tell him.
I have to use your bathroom.
Ray, remember night before last?
- You said they were digging.
- Don't open that!
- [Rumsfield] Ray!
- [Screams]
Oh! Oh!
You keep a horse
in the basement?
[Barking, Growls]
- [Screams]
- [Barking]
[Barking Continues]
[Alarm Blaring]
- Is it a burglar?
- No, it's Art.
- [Alarm Continues]
- Another neighbour?
A fat one.
Go on, you mangy mutt!
[Screams]
- [Alarm Stops]
- I'm sorry if Landru frightened you.
- His size tends to overwhelm people.
- Oh, no, no.
We've imposed on you enough for one
evening. It's been lovely meeting you.
- See you, Doc. Later, Reub.
- Bye, Hans.
Yes, Doctor.
It's been real.
- Are you all right?
- Yes, I'm fine.
Let's do this again sometime...
real soon.
- We'll see ourselves to the door. Honey?
- [Carol] Goodnight.
- [Footsteps Departing, Door Closes]
- [Crow Cawing]
[Carol] Okay, I admit it.
They're slightly eccentric.
[Rumsfield]
"Slightly eccentric"? Carol...
- But that doesn't mean...
- Come on!
- They chopped Walter into little pieces!
- These people are clearly psychos!
Ray, what do you think?
[Art]
Yeah, what do you think?
Right.
