JOE: Hey, Fabrizio! FABRIZIO: Hey, what's up?
JOE: What's up, man?
Oh wow, man. That's an awesome ball!
Thanks, Man. FABRIZIO: That's shiny.
I actually found it the other day
when I was on my way home from work.
You know that house up on Lombard?
The creepy one with the cats all over it?
Yeah, of course. Of course I know that one.
Yeah, I found it there.
It was just sitting in the yard.
Guess what? Guess what I saw, though.
Huh? What happened?
JOE: I think I saw the guy that lives there.
FABRIZIO: No way! JOE: Yeah.
FABRIZIO: Did he come outside or something?
JOE: He was staring at me. So I ran off.
Oh, really? Man! I bet you were scared, man.
Yeah, I was pretty scared, actually.
He was just looking at me through the window.
When he saw me looking at him, he just disappeared.
I'm not sure, but I think I heard him meowing.
FABRIZIO: Whoa. Have you ever seen him before?
Nah, I've never seen him.
I've never seen him come outside or anything.
I think he's part cat, though.
He probably just hangs out all day and sleeps.
I'm not sure what he would eat, though.
FABRIZIO: He probably eats humans!
I think since he's a cat, he probably eats mice.
FABRIZIO: Shoot. He probably eats possums
that come by his house at night.
JOE: Maybe. I don't know.
He was just looking at me like he wanted to do something to me.
I don't know what. But it probably wasn't good.
FABRIZIO: But didn't you say you stole the ball from him?
Nah, I didn't steal it.
It was just sitting there in the yard,
like it was there for someone to take.
I don't know, man.
I think you should return that ball as soon as possible.
Maybe.
I don't know, though. It's a really cool ball.
I like to keep it in my pocket and carry it around with me.
It's the perfect size.
I still think you should return it.
Yeah, I might. [ cell buzzes ] Oh!
Hold on.
Hello? Hey, Andrea.
ANDREA: Hey. What's going on? Where are you?
I'm over here at Fabrizio's house right now.
I found a ball the other day at Cat Man's house.
He's trying to convince me to return it.
ANDREA: Ooh, then you probably should.
Yeah, maybe. I guess so.
You wanna meet me over there?
And then afterwards we can go out?
ANDREA: Ok.
All right, cool. Well, I'll see you there.
ANDREA: Ok.
All right, bye.
Is she the only person that you've told about the ball?
Who, Andrea? Yeah. I just told her about it.
Oh, Ok.
Yeah, she's gonna meet me over there.
And then we're gonna go out afterwards.
I think I will return the ball.
Nice, man. Yeah.
You should do that. Right on, dude.
JOE: All right.
Coolio.
JOE: All right, Fabrizio.
Hey, later, man.
Probably better get there before it turns dark!
[ heart beat, scary music, creaking door ]
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Is anyone here?
Hello?
Hello?
Is...is there anybody here?
I came to return your ball.
Hello?!
[ scary violins ]
Hello?
[ spooky breathing ]
Hello?
[ stabbing sound ]
[ eating sounds ]
[ scary laughter ]
ANDREA: Hey, Joe. This is the fifth time I've called you.
You're not answering your phone. Gimme a call back.
Let me know what's going on. I'm already here. Ok.
[ stabbing sound and woman screams ]
[ eating sounds ]
[ singing "meow" ]
[ slow motion singing "meow" ]
[ tiny scream ]
Sorry if I'm tearing up.
[ off camera ] You're crying, you're so scared.
[ laughter ]
[ off camera laughter ]
[ whimpering ]
[ off camera ] Ok, so I'm already recording now.
ANDREA: Sorry.
ANDREA: Oh!
[off camera ] What's wrong?!
JOEL [off camera]: Yeah, I want it done like that. Yeah.
ANDREA: Which one?
JOEL: Yeah, that. Aah!
I messed it up by moving. Sorry. Joe, I'm sorry.
I take full blame. Sorry! I took that one.
