I have more time.

I'm done.

It looks so awful.

But darling, the last place we looked at cost £10 a week.

At least here it must be cheaper.

Peter, I am so tired. We've been looking around all day. Let's just go in. All

right, spend time.

Yes? We saw your sign.

Do you have a room?

No. You don't know where we can find one, do you?

I do have one room.

It's on the top floor.

How much will it cost? £6 a week.

It couldn't be any cheaper.

That's the price. Take it or leave it.

Take it.

All right, we'll have it then, please.

My son will show you the room.

The room?

This is a bad thing.

This is nice and quiet later.

I think you'll like it.

Oh, Peter, I don't want to stay here.

Don't. We're lucky to get any place at all.

You know that.

Come on.

Come on, darling. Let's

get up home.

Hey, what's the matter?

Nothing.

Look, darling, things won't always be this bad.

I'll have something accepted soon, and then we'll have some money.

I'm sorry, Peter. I know you've got enough problems without me making things

worse for you.

Look, darling, as long as we've got each other, that's all that matters.

Come on, we're both tired. Let's get unpacked and go to bed.

How do the new tenants like their room?

Very well.

Hurry up. Now get that prepared.

We don't want them to be disturbed by screaming.

She's an attractive little thing, don't you think, Olaf?

I think she could be very useful.

Yes, I think we can use her.

Do you have that key?

Oh, no.

Okay, come on.

Come on!

Yes, yes. Now, not too much for any one of them. And only the ones who really

need it.

Yes, yes.

in a place like this.

I understand, Peter.

I really do.

I promise you, it will get better.

I know.

I see you.

I feel you.

You're so beautiful.

Where are you?

Moon, darling?

I love you so much.

Wait for me, darling.

I'm coming.

Did you have a good night's sleep, darling?

Not really. There's a strange place here, and I always have the feeling I'm

being watched.

It's always the same the first night in a new home.

I know it's terrible here, but we'll have somewhere better soon.

I hope so, Peter.

Darling, I'm going to see some medicals.

Today's going to be my lucky day.

Peter, I can wait you.

Darling, I'd love to take you with me, but please be reasonable. You know I

can't.

Can I have some money then, please?

So what have you got?

Well, I'll get some fruit or something and I'll make it a little more like

That's a good girl.

Bye. Bye -bye. Wish me luck. You too.

Bye.

Not coming.

nice, darling.

Oh, Winnie, it's so good to see you after all this time.

You're my only real friend.

How have you been keeping?

Okay? Oh, just fine.

And you?

Fine, just fine.

Would you like some more tea?

Thank you.

Help me with the top one.

You know what to do, check on the bell when you are finished.

Remember when this place was a nightclub, Winnie?

Those were the days.

Finest place in town. And I ought to know, I played the best of them.

Why don't you stop the game?

Too much trouble.

Besides, I make a pretty good thing letting rooms.

Bad.

Your tenons never stay long.

Long enough.

Besides... I don't want to think about that

year.

First the terrible fire.

Then Olaf.

One disaster after another.

That was a terrible year for me, Winnie.

Have another drink, sweetie.

Hello, darling.

Hello, love.

What's all this?

Dinner. And that?

An extravagance to make you look a little bit more like me.

That's a good girl.

How was your day today?

Don't talk about it.

Every time I go to see somebody, they're not there.

Mr. Smith in the Bahamas, Mr. Jones skiing in St. Moritz.

Oh, something's going to work out.

Yeah, that something is I've got to get a job.

Any sort of job.

No, Peter, you're too good a writer. Please stick with it. I don't mind.

That's enough about me. What about you?

I had a very exciting day today.

Last night I heard noises.

Yeah, me snoring. No.

And today people have been walking in and out.

What do you expect?

It's a rooming house.

No, they've been walking in and out of that door at the end of the corridor.

And Olaf... Who's he?

The dwarf, Miss Lush's son. I found that out today as well.

Anyway, I went in and had a look.

You what?

Well, you know me, Peter. I've got to look.

So?

So, it's an attic, and it's a very weird place.

And the whole house is really strange.

Maybe you could write about it.

What I write about is strange enough for everybody as it is.

Oh, Peter, please don't eat your nuts.

Mom, let's eat then.

Hello?

Olaf!

Hello? Oh, come and give Aunt Hughie a big kiss.

Where have you been?

Out. Such a sweet boy.

I was going to do my South American number for you. Oh, yes. Oh,

yes, wonderful.

One.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Well, don't. Winnie wants me to do the choo -choo bumper for her.

Olaf, get up to that piano and warm up.

I'm almost ready.

Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Laila Lash.

Don't be shy then, Cavaliero.

Walk right up to her and say, Come

and dance the choo -choo bumper, it's not a rumba, not a...

Mrs. Lash singing.

Mama makes you go!

Peter! Can't you hear those noises?

Just ring the bell when you are finished.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Do you love your mommy, Ola?

Yes.

What do you think of that blonde girl?

We can use her.

You've got to get some new girls.

Betty's using far too much heroin.

How much profit in Betty anymore?

You've got to get some new girls.

I just got one.

Even she's been used rather a lot.

No, we're going to get that blonde.

The trouble is, her husband, he's got to be get rid of.

She's out all day.

It's got to be at the right time and in the right way.

I'll get her.

Peter?

I did hear noises last night.

And they did come from the attic.

Maybe it's haunted and we've got ghosts rattling their chains at night.

Okay, if you don't believe me, come and see for yourself.

All right, let's go and see your noises.

See, Peter? I told you there's something weird about this place.

No, your child, you've got too much imagination.

Look around you. This is the same as any other attic.

I don't like this house.

Darling, I've got to go. I've got to see this editor, and it's very important.

It's going to be important for both of us.

Okay.

Come on, make yourself a nice cup of tea.

And keep that lovely little nose out of things that don't concern you.

I guess you're right. Come on.

And then you remember that other time. Oh, I do. You did another one I told you

about.

Oh, it was wonderful.

Oh, it was so beautiful.

And that Apache number I did.

Yep.

I don't know if I'm disturbing you. Oh, it's just me and my friend having a

little drink. What do you want? Well, is there a telephone in the house? There

is a telephone, but it's private to this part.

Well, I do need one, rather importantly, because I have some phone calls coming.

Why? What business are you in? I'm a writer. A writer? What could you write?

Television and plays.

Television and plays!

Show business!

My dear, just talking, my friend, and now you remember me.

Lionel Ash!

That's me!

I used to do imitations, all kinds of things.

I really was the greatest Mayweather.

Daddy K.

Is it possible for me to have the number?

The number is 385 -2294, but I don't want too many

calls. Oh, I promise there won't be many.

Right. Anyway, have a drink. Come on. Not for me, thank you. I must be going.

Oh, join us. I'm terribly sorry, but I am in a hurry.

It's bad people who don't drink.

Bye -bye. Bye -bye.

Peace.

Goddamn little son of a bitch. I'll fix him when I see him.

You're beginning to take too much of this stuff, you know.

We may have to get rid of you.

Phil.

You're unattractive to the peace.

Are you playing with toys, huh?

We've got better games to play here.

Sandra's workshop.

This is Lila Lash. I want to speak to Santa Claus.

Just give me Santa Claus.

Yes, just a minute.

It's Lila Lash. Better talk to her.

Yes? Listen, Santa.

That last shipment was short.

Look, Lila, it's not easy.

Don't give me your troubles. I've got my own. Just deliver.

We're running out.

I mean...

To play the game of love.

But love is just for fools.

You've been drinking.

So what?

I can't take much more of it, Peter. I really can't. Look, how do you think I

feel? That bastard didn't even see me today.

Just sent his secretary out with a manuscript, not even an explanation.

How do you think I feel, being left here alone all day?

And there's mice in this room.

Oh, Mary, what's wrong with you?

Peter, just don't. I'm not in the mood.

Oh, Peter.

Peter, don't!

Send us workshop.

What?

When?

Here.

Here.

What is it? They got the runner.

Are they on to us?

No, they shot him.

What about the staff?

They got it.

One million pounds heroin down the drain.

What are we going to do?

Get another runner, you idiot.

I hope I get this job.

It seems to be quite interesting.

What exactly would you be doing?

I'm not really sure.

The guy's got a lot of money, so I should think I'd be driving him,

things for him. You know, just a general assistant.

I don't know.

I know I fly into tempers, and I know I say things that I don't mean, but...

Really, Peter, I want you to keep on with your writing.

But I will be, darling. This is just for the money.

Can you imagine Mrs. Lash waiting for her rent?

No, not really.

Do something for me.

Type this for me, will you? Could you give me something to do?

Look, I won't be late.

I'll see you as soon as I can.

Okay.

Bye. Bye -bye.

Spend it.

Peter?

Yes, sir? I want you to leave for Paris immediately.

Paris? Yes.

I'll have to go home and pack.

There isn't time. I said immediately.

But my wife, I'll have to tell her.

You can phone her.

There's a telephone call for you.

For me?

Yes, that telephone.

Yes.

Hello?

Hello, Peter.

That's marvellous!

Immediately? When will you be back?

I see.

No, no, don't worry.

I'll be all right, really.

Yes. Yes.

Yes, I love you too.

Bye -bye.

Good news?

Yes, Peter's got a job.

But it means he's got to start immediately.

And he's going to be away for three or four days.

Don't worry, my dear.

We'll look after you, Olaf and I.

You're very kind. Thank you, Mrs. Lash.

Think nothing of it.

Bye -bye.

Lila, what was that song?

What song, Winnie?

Oh, you know.

Everybody's going crazy.

Everybody's going mad.

I'll do it for you.

Yes? Why? I got the costume right here.

to be in the attic.

Now you fix yourself a drink.

I'll be right back.

I'll do that.

I'll do it for you as soon as I get done.

Can I help you?

Later. Olaf!

God damn him.

Troy, you got all over the place.

Girl.

God damn, Olaf's left the lights on.

He knows how to... Chrisley costs money.

Hey,

that's a nice one.

All right, good in there.

All right, good in that one.

Where is it?

Let it go Everybody's going away

Everybody's going away

Everybody's

going away Everybody's going away Everybody's going away

Thank you.

What are you doing there?

Listen, I'll try and get the police.

Do you understand?

I'll try and get the police.

I'll be back.

I've got to go to the police.

I've got to do it now.

I told you not to come here.

I need a teddy bear.

All right, all right.

Here you are.

Get out of here.

Quickly.

What was in here?

Oh, mouth your tongue!

Shut the wardrobe door.

Come on, old man.

He could be back any minute.

Peter, you're back.

Yes. How was the trip?

Trip was fine.

Did you have any trouble?

Trouble? No.

Did you bring something back with you?

Yes, of course. The box of teddy bears.

Where is it?

Oh, they're out in the car.

Splendid. We've got to do something.

We've got to get out of here.

It's hopeless.

Why try?

You can't just sit here. You've got to do something.

Sorry, Wolf.

Have you seen my wife?

She left with her bag.

Did she say where she was going?

No. Did she say anything to you?

Peter, where have you been?

I'm sorry.

It's my wife.

She's left me. I'm sorry to hear that.

Well, nothing like a little work to keep you happy. Would you please take that

one down in the cellar and unpack it?

Yes, sir. Thank you.

You've got to marry me.

Please, get my husband.

I've been dragged.

Get my husband.

Get the money.

Ah, you junkies are all alike.

Half crazy, all of you.

Oh.

Oh,

no!

I'll find my husband.

Please. His name is Peter David.

Please. Yes.

I'll come back for you later.

I told you never to come here.

But we need more stuff.

I don't know how to explain this to you.

It's not easy.

The police are watching us.

What are we going to do?

We got a new girl.

I don't care how many girls you got. Get out of here. We haven't got any stuff.

Lila wouldn't like it.

You can tell Lila not to go to hell.

Get out.

Hold on.

Yes? Could I see someone who is in charge, please?

Someone in narcotics.

God, no.

No.

Oh, no.

No.

a new girl.

Mr. Davis.

Let's see if we can find your wife.

What about Santa Claus?

Oh,

stop playing with that damn thing!

I know.

I have to go for a teddy bear.

They've got Santa Claus!

They picked up the dailies, kid!

And they're coming here.

Now get upstairs!

Clear up as much as you can!

She left.

Listen, don't give me that. You know better than that.

I don't know.

Where's your son, Olaf?

I don't know.

Probably out playing with his toys somewhere.

Mary's always telling me about the noises in this house. They come from the

attic.

All right, let's have a look.

Move.

Come on.

Paul, check the wardrobe. He might be in there.

Both of my costumes.

Take your hands off my costumes!

Check the other rooms. He must be up here somewhere, the little bastard.

Get back in here.

This is locked. Where's the key? I don't have it.

Olaf has it!

You inhuman

bitch.

My God, Mary!

Get in there.

Mary.

Oh, don't you, darling.

I'm all right.

Now you're here.

No one's going to hurt you anymore.

Where's your son?

How the hell do I know?

You there.

Do you know how to use a gun?

You're damned right I can.

Mary, what did they do to you?

Oh, Peter.

They didn't... Help

me.

Help me.

Oh!
