Secrets of the Cellar Revealed
Alice
People have tried.
Fool
You mean, the people in the cellar? Who are they?
[''Alice nods'']
Alice
Mommy and Daddy looked a long time to find the perfect boy child, but each one they found turned out bad. Some saw things they weren't supposed to, others heard too much, others talked back. Daddy cut out the bad parts, and put the boys in the cellar, one by one. They get flashlights and food of some kind. I suppose they're happy in their own way.
Fool
Yeah right. What about you? How come they haven't put you in the cellar?
Alice
I do not see, or hear, or speak evil. It's the only way.
Fool
What is that?
[''Hears screaming from within the walls'']

Alice

Fool
Roach?
Alice

A Warning About a Dangerous Family
Grandpa Booker
Meanwhile, you be careful. That brother and sister act you mess with are evil, plain and simple.
Fool
Wait a minute, brother and sister?
Grandpa Booker
Brother and sister. Tailend of the craziest family you ever heard of. Every generation more insane than the one before it. Started out as a family running a funeral home, selling cheap coffins for expensive prices. Then they got their fingers into real estate, started making a lot of money taking over people's homes. The more money they got, the greedier they got. The greedier they got, the crazier they got. All sorts of rumors about what's going on in that place. Never proved it because the police never took it serious. But believe me, when I was a kid, none of us ever walked past that house.
