"Bye." "Hello, Miss Wu?" "I'm Alyssa Barns." "The Arkham agency sent me." "I'm your new housekeeper." "I'm sorry I'm so late, it was just such a long trip... and I wanted to make sure I got here on time." "I hope that's okay?" "Aunty, let her in." "Hi, Alyssa." " I'm Miss Wu." " Oh, hello." "My aunt doesn't speak much English." "Oh, that's okay." "Am I too early?" "No, not at all, just come in." "Welcome." "Wow... you have a courges home." " This is incredible." " Thank you." "I'm so glad you could take this job on such short notice." "This big house needs all the help it can get." "I didn't think that we get anyone since we're so far out." "It's perfect timing for me." " I need the work." " Please, follow me." "Most people like to be closer to their city and their family." "I have no one, not anymore anyway." " I'm sorry." " Oh, no, that's okay." "Well, you came highly recommended." "Pease, take a seat." " Would you like some tea?" " Oh, no, thank you." "It's just my aunt and I in this big house." "Sometimes I think I should just move into a smaller one." "But I like it to much here." "And we have more space, more to keep clean." "Yeah... but I think I can handle it." "Help yourself to anything in the kitchen... we're usually early risers... but you can work at your on pace, as long as things get done." "I do ask for a few things if you leave here..." "Please respect this place." "It was built on love and good fortune and that's the best way." "So I ask, please, no boy friends, no guests... no loud music, no drugs or smoking." "If you want to make a call, please, ask first." "And here, the list of duties." "Everything I expect to be done is on there." "Come, let me show you around." "Over this way." "How old is this house?" "Not very old." "My father was a well respected architect in China for many years." "He bought the land and build this place shortly before he died." "Right this way." "There are only a few other homes in our neighborhood." "Most of these summer homes are empty." "It's an hour drive to the nearest town... so we go for supplies, when we can." "That's where I keep all the cleaning supplies and tools." "And that's the laundry area." "Enough towels and rags." "If you can't find something, it's probably down here." "Okay." "I'm building a storage room here." "It's unfinished, so don't worry about." "All those bricks remind me of my father." "He was a mason." "He taught me how to build things, when I was little." "Wow, you're really talented." "Maybe I should have you finish the storage room for me." " Yeah, maybe." " This way." "This is your room." "This is the warmest room in the house." "It gets plenty of sunlight during the day." "This will be just fine." "Thanks, this is one of the most peaceful places I've ever been." "I'm used to more city noises." "Car alarms all night, dogs barking... motorcycles." "It'll be a nice change." "I'm a bid of a book worm, any how." "Oh, there are trails all over... if you wanna take a walk, or just find a place to read." "Thanks, I'll have to do that." "Why don't you get settled, dinner's served just after dark." "Okay, great." " I'll see you then." " Thanks." "The fried noodle tastes good, thanks." "May I trouble you for a cup of tea?" "Aunt Chen is a great cook, I hope you like it." "It smells good." "Again but slow, please." "Thanks." " Do you need a fork?" " I think I got it." "Okay..." "Let me show you." "First... crap it like this." " Crap it the other way." " Like this?" "And then, just pinch." " Like that?" " Hm'hm." "You got it." "You're a fast learner." "I like that." "It's really pretty." " Are you Catholic?" " Yeah, I wore it in school." " My father, was very strict." " And you're not?" "Well, I'm not fanatical any way... but I still go to the church when I can." "When you can, but you don't want to go?" "Why you're still wearing it, when you don't believe in it?" "I don't know." "Guilt, if I don't, I guess." "I see... enough talking, please, go ahead, eat." "Okay." "We just hired a new servant here." "She hasn't learnt our customs yet." "Please show her forgiveness, if there is any wrongdoing..." "Oh good, you found it." "I thought we lost it but you should wear that." "Yeah, thank you." "Do you know Feng Sui?" "No, I don't." "It's a Chinese of placement." "Moving things our relationship to nature." "So we get blessed with good fortune." "What's this?" "That's a Bagwa mirror." "That's for protection." "Against what?" "Bad energies and spirits." "The mirror reflects the influence of negative energy." "And protect the occupants of the home." "So it keeps the bad energy out and the good energy in?" "Something like that." " Come, let's have some tea." " Okay." "All this must seem strange to you." "But these beliefs have been in my family for generations." "If you follow the rules, nature will bless you." " You have any other family here?" " No, just my aunt." "I still have some relatives living in China." "I had a little brother once, but we sent him away." "To school?" "No, he was sick." "So we sent him to all the good doctors." "But no one could help him." " So, he eventually died." " Oh..." "I'm sorry." "It's okay." "Hi, this is Alyssa Barn, leave a message." "Hey, it's me." "I just wanted to see if you might pick up this time." "I really need to talk to you." "I'm so depressed, all I can think about is you." "I know you haven't been yourself lately." "But I'm still here with you." "We can work this out." "Will you just..." "when you get this, call me..." "I need to hear your voice, so I know you're okay." "I love you, Alyssa." "Holy spirits bless us." "Holy spirits look out for us." "Protect my whole family, please." "Accept our offerings, and travel safe, please." "Bless us." "Alyssa, come in." "Come in." "Go ahead, throw some in." "It's just paper. ~" "What're you doing?" "What is all this?" "Today is the second night, of the Chinese ghost month." "We must make offerings to the spirits... to appease them each night." " Are you trying to scare me?" " Oh, no..." "No." "Chinese people believe in a lotta things." "Every year in the Chinese calendar, the seventh month... is known as the "Chinese Ghost Month"." "It's believed that during these 30 days, the gates of hell are opened." "The souls of the dead, are allowed to roam the earth." "Most spirits are content with just visiting their relatives." "But some... those who didn't receive a proper burial like suicides..." "Seek someone to take their place in hell." "Lost souls you mean?" "Why burn incense?" "~" "The sweet smell help the spirit to find food." "The more you burn... the more it prospers." "And this is hell notes... we offer this to our dead ancestors, to make sure... that they have good things, in afterlife." "I didn't relies that Chinese had such believes." "Not all Chinese do, but their are some people... who believe in the ancient way." "In China, it's taken very seriously." "Important business meetings, are rescheduled... marriages postponed." "No one swims." "The streets are empty." "And no one goes out, after after." "I should go inside now, get some sleep." " I did't scare you, did I?" " No." "Goodnight." "Goodnight." "Murderer." "Help us." "Murderer." "No, no!" "It's the spirit, that brings bad luck." "I'm sorry Miss Wu, I thought it was dirt." "Be quiet." "Go back inside." "I'm sorry, Holy spirit." "Please don't blame her." "She doesn't know anything about this." "I beg for your mercy, Holy spirit." "Please, don't disturb us." "Holy spirit, don't blame her." "Please, blame me if you have to." "I'll burn more Hell notes for you tomorrow." "Alyssa is just a kid, please, don't hurt her." "Alyssa." "Alyssa?" "Are you okay?" "Alyssa." "I'm going into town for a while, and I'll be back later." " Did you finished your laundry?" " Yes, it's drying now." "Good... you work so hard." "Why don't you finish up out here and keep the rest of the day to yourself." "Thanks, I have a book I've been wanting to get into." "You should..." "take a walk." " I'll be back later." " Okay, bye." " Hey, what're you doing here?" " Oh, just here reading, that's all." " You're trespassing." " Oh, sorry." "It's private property here." "The property line is just over there, didn't you see it?" "Oh, I wasn't aware, I thought I was on the Wu estate and... and I must've just wandered a bid to far." " Are you a friend of hers?" " I'm the new housekeeper." "Oh..." "So, you're the new maid." "I prefer the term "housekeeper", but yes." "That crazy bitch thinks she owns most of the mountain." "I'm not surprised you thought, you're still on her land." "Are you her neighbor?" "Yes, I live just down the path here." "Listen, I am really sorry about this." "Oh, no ways... it's just that every year during the same month, her... and that old lady always be burning things in the middle of the night." "Last year the wind picked up and blew some ashes this way and... burned down this part of the forest." "And I almost lost my house, so..." "I have to keep a close eye on this shit." "I see." "So, what's your name?" "Alyssa." "Nice to meet you, Alyssa." "Blake." "What're you reading?" ""Room of one Zone", by Virginia Wolf." "Oh, great author." "Really?" "What's your favorite book of hers?" "I don't know, there's... to many to name." "I like 'em all." "Yes... nice to meet man, who likes his feminist authors." "Touché." "Well, I should get going." "Hey... you can come back anytime you like." "As long as you don't light any fires." "Bye." "Wow... it's beautiful." "Hello, Wu's residence." "Alyssa?" " Yes, this is she." " It's Tessa, at the agency." "Oh, hi." "I left a few messages, did you get them?" " Oh, no, sorry." " It's Nicole... she's called here a few times." "asking for your work number." "I told her our policy against giving out clients numbers." "But I told her I'd call personally and give you the message." "Thanks, I'll call her." "Okay, no problem." "Hello." " Hey, it's me." " Hey..." "I've been worried about you, I haven't heard from you in a while." "I left like..." "ten messages." "Yeah, I don't have that number anymore." "Why not?" "No one's supposed to call me right now except Jacob, so I tossed it." " Is he still bothering you?" " Doesn't he always?" "Well, he's called my number a hundred times, looking for you." " He just doesn't get it." " He'll be forgotten." "It just takes time." "Are you okay?" "I think I'm seeing things." " What'd you mean?" " Hm..." "It's nothing." "I'm sure you're just stressed." "You just need to relax." " Yeah, I know." " So..." " how's your new job?" " It's good." "It's different from anything I've done before, but..." "I like it." "It's real quiet and peaceful out here." " How's your new boss?" " She's okay." "Sometimes it's strange." "They have a lotta strange customs." "I'm always seeing them burning things, in the front yard." "Well, as long as you get your pay check who cares, right?" "Right." "Hey..." "I'm not really allowed to use this phone... but you can leave me messages, through the agency." " I can still e-mail you, right?" " Uh... no." "There's no Internet or cable here." "Oh." " Well, that sucks." " She's a bit old-fashioned." "I don't mind, I like not being so available all the time." "Hang in there, you need this job." "But once you have enough money saved up, you can get your own place, and go on with your life." "Listen, I'll talk to you soon, okay?" " Okay," " Bye." "Where did you get that dress?" "It was in my closet, it's so beautiful, I had to try it on." "It fits perfectly." "Do you like it?" "Take it off now!" "I have some other buisness to attend to." "Yes, ma'am." "Mei-Ling." "Hello?" "Hello?" "That girl is coming this way..." "Kill her." "She must die!" " Miss Wu?" " Yes, what is it, dear?" "I finished cleaning all the tiles, like you ask... and now all the clothes are washed." "Thank you." " Was there anything else?" " No, I think that's it." "Why don't you go relax." "Take a hot bath." "You did a great job, dear." "Is there something else?" "I found this in my room." "Who is Mei-Ling?" "This name I haven't heard in a while." "Why, she used to live here?" "Yes." "She was the housekeeper, before you." "She lived here for a few years." "She's pretty." "Yeah..." "Actually, you remind me of her." "The Gosha girls..." "one day she left." " Why?" " A man." "What's the matter with you?" "You're so careless!" "Did you get hurt?" "Bleeding could be a bad sign." "Holy spirit, kindly accept these offerings before you go travel safely, and leave us in peace." "Starting from today till the Ghost Festival, me and aunty will worship you everyday..." "For today, please accept these:" "a big car and a big house." "Plus a Rolex..." "Alyssa." "You must help me." "Is anyone out there?" "Somebody help me." " Is anyone there?" " Murderer." "Murderer, murderer..." "Alyssa..." "Alyssa, wake up." "What happened?" "Alyssa?" "You okay?" "What's going on?" "Let's go over there." "Clean up the mess, aunty." "Hi, this is Alyssa Barns, leave a message." "Alyssa, it's me." "Where are you?" "I'm really worried about you." "I've been driving around all night, looking for you... hoping you're okay." "I don't know where I'm at right now." "I can't take this." "I really need to talk to you." "Why don't you answer my calls?" "What did I do to you?" "Why're you doing this?" "You know what?" "You're a real fucking bitch." "I hate you." "You're probably out fucking some other guy, is that it?" "What?" "You dump me, and then you go fuck somebody elses life up?" "You're just a fucking whore, like my mother!" "Fine, you can have your other boy friend." "I don't care." "Don't ever call me again." "It's over." "And I'm fucking over you." "Fuck!" "Fuck!" "Fuck!" "Hi, this is Alyssa Barns, leave a message." "Hey." "I'm sorry I said those things." "I just... feel a little hurt, you know." "I want you to call me when you get this, okay?" "I'll be here." "Just call me back." "Talk to you soon." "Alyssa..." "Alyssa... come over here to me." "Help me." "T.W." "Leave me alone." "Leave me alone." "Help." "What did I...?" "Somebody please..." "Help us." "Help us." " Help us." " Stop!" "Help us." "Murderer." " What do you want from me?" " Murderer." "Stop!" "..." "Please, stop!" "Murderer!" "Murderer!" " Murderer!" " Leave me alone." "I can't take this any longer..." "Are you okay?" "I can take this any longer." "These things, they won't stop." "Why can't they just leave me alone?" "Who won't?" "Them!" "These people." "The ghosts." "The Holy spirits, have made themselves visible to Alyssa," "I'll exlain the rules to her, you get the offerings ready." "Listen, Alyssa." "During the Chinese ghost month, if you ever find a ghost... you have bad luck the whole month." "It's very important, to follow the rules." "What rules?" "Every custom has it's rules." "During this month, you must not whistle." "That will only invite them into the house." "And if you're outside and you hear someone call your name from behind... you must never turn around." "But... most important of all, is that... you have to respect the offerings and never disrupt the ~ of ash." " But I stepped in..." " Shh... say no more." "Tomorrow I burn more offerings, then we'll be fine." "But remember, if you leave them alone... then they'll leave you alone." "Okay... if I leave them alone, they leave me alone." "Yes, and you'll be okay." "Oh... good morning." "Did you sleep okay?" "No, not really." "What's this?" "This is a Chinese guard called 'Chung Kwai', he's a ghost catcher." "And all the ghosts are afraid of him." "I put him here, to protect your room." "Thanks..." "I think." "'Chung Kwai, the ghost catcher'." "Blake, hi." " What're you doing here?" " This is... for you... since you like to read and all." "The biology of horses." "By Dr. Blake Reesy." "Is that you?" "Yes, I signed it for you right there." "Wow." "Thanks." "I'm honored." "I'm gonna read it, as soon as I can." "Wow, this is a nice place." "You know I lived up here a long time, but never stepped foot in it." "Not very "neighborly", I suppose." "I'm not suppose to have anyone inside and..." "It's one of Miss Wu's golden rules." "Haven't you ever broken one?" "Well..." "I like my job, and I like to keep it." "Please, you probably should go." "Dont worry, I've seen her drive past my house a few minutes ago, with her old lady." "Would you like something to drink?" " Sure, what'd you have?" " Let's see." "Martini, double scotch... water?" "Water is fine." "So, you're a writer then?" "Sometimes." "I just have the one book, but I'm working on another." "I mainly breed horses on my estate." " I'm a vet." " A vet?" "Wow... how exciting." " Are you married?" " No." "So, you're single, a part time writer... a vet, and you like to breed horses on your estate." "Are you a gay?" "Good one." "This was the first house built up in these parts." "The Wu family bought most of the land around here, and then..." "eventually sold it off." "She is definitely from old money." "How long have you lived here?" "I bought my place about six years ago." "It took a while to get used to the isolation, but..." "I've grown to like it." "And how about you?" " I'm sick of city life." " That bad, huh?" "That bad." "I found this in my room." "Do you know her?" "No, I dont, why..." "why'd you ask?" "Her name's Mei-Ling." "She was a housekeeper here before me." " I was just wondering..." " Alyssa..." "Dr. Reesy." "What did I tell you about having people over, without my permission?" " Yeah, I know, but it..." " I... should be going now." " Thanks, for the water." " I'll show you out." "What're you doing here?" "I was just coming to visit new girl." "She doesn't need any friends, especially ones like you." "What's that suppose to mean?" "Goodbye, Dr. Reesy." "You know, I was thinking, maybe..." "Alyssa?" " Yes, ma'am." " Come over here." "Already." " Do you like wine?" " Huh... sure." "Here... this red wine is good for you." "What's the occasion?" "Let's sit down." "I'm sorry I was with you earlier." "I seem to be having a strech of bad luck." "Remember you ask me about Mei-Ling a few days ago?" "Yeah." "Well, the man she was involved with... was Blake." "Really?" "He told me he doesn't know her." "Well, I'm not surprised." "He's a liar." "What happened?" "Are you sure you wanna hear this?" "I'm sure." "Well... she was a good girl." "Very quiet." "But it gets lonely out here, you know." "I didn't notice anything bad, at the beginning." "But then I started noticing her not coming home at night..." "I saw them them kissing a few times in the woods." "It's really none of my business." "But then, she started..." "forgetting about her chores... and... arguing with me over things." "I was hoping things would get better." "But then one night... she ran into the house... screaming and dripping blood." "I was terrified." "Something had happened her." "She was beaten." "Oh, my god..." "Blake did it?" "He was the last who seen her that night." "But he denied it." "So we cleaned her up, and her wounds healed." "She wouldn't tell us what happened to her that night... and... who did it." "She just accepted it." "As time went on, Blake stopped coming around." "And... she became more and more depressed." "Her life just seemed bleak or sucked out of her." "Where's she now?" "I honestly don't know." "She vanished." "One day we found her room empty." "And this was in her bed." "My dear, Miss Wu." "My life has become empty." "I can't bear the loneliness." "I'm sorry, but I must go." "Mei-Ling." "That was two months ago." "Don't the police or her family try to find her?" "Well, she ran away and don't wanna be found." "Plus, she was illegally in this country." "I think the police would be the last people she wanna see." "It's so sad." "Well, Alyssa, I didn't wanted to scare you." "But if I were you..." "I would stay away from him, okay?" " Hello." " Hey, it's me." "Hey... you're up late." "Yeah, I just can't sleep." "What's wrong?" "I don't know what's wrong with me lately." "I think I'm going crazy." "Are you just lonely out there, or what?" "Have you ever had a dream, that was so real... you couldn't tell if it was reality or not?" "Sometimes... everybody does." "I keep seeing... things." " People." " I don't follow you." "Do you believe in ghosts?" "I don't understand where this is going, you think you're seeing ghosts, right?" "I don't know what to believe anymore." "Miss Wu seems to think so." "Wait." "Miss Wu thinks you're seeing ghosts?" "Yeah, she also thinks I might've insulted them." "And you believe her?" "Jesus, Alyssa... it's no wonder you're seeing things and you're scared." "Yeah, it's those stories she's told me." "Do you remember when we were little... and the boys told us not to go into that dark tunnel... under Preston drive?" "That was so creepy." "Each one of 'em said... the old hag that lived there, would eat us, if we went near it." "And we believed those bastards." "I never did go near it after that." "It's the same thing, fear through suggestion." "Don't let this woman scare you, with old wife tales." "Yeah, you're probably right." "Thanks for the talk." "Are you sure you gonna be okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "I probably should go... if I get caught using this phone, it'll be a major problem." " Okay, bye." " Bye." "Jesus, Nicole." "What the hell, you're doing here, you fucking psycho?" "I call... and call and call." "But no one ever answers me." "Why is that, Nicole?" "Very little unappreciated." "I wanna know where she is." "I told you..." "she's not... here." "You lying bitch." "Don't fuck with me." "Where is she?" "I know she's here..." "I can still smell the perfume, I bought her." "And I can also smell a liar." "What is the matter with you people?" "No one ever listens to me!" "I know, you know, where she's at." "I don't wanna hurt you, I just... need to find her." "I have things to tell her, I have things I need to go over with her." "Tell me!" "Tell me!" "Don't make me furious." "Tell me!" "Open your fucking mouth and tell me." "Now!" "Nicole?" "I'm sorry, I didn't..." "This is all your fault." "Hey, Alyssa." "That's a nice surprise." "If you came to my horses I'm sorry you're disappointed." " What brings you by?" " You're a damn liar." "Excuse me?" "What're you talking about?" "You know what." "Mei-Ling." "You remember now?" "You don't understand." " Where'd you get this?" " What did you do to her?" "I did nothing to her." "She went to visits her family... at least..." "that's what she told me." "You're a liar." "Look, I knew her, alright?" "We had a little romance, and that was it." "She wanted me to take her in town, to get away from Miss Wu, so..." "I did." "We had a little fun and then she stopped coming around." " Beating a woman isn't romance." " Beating?" " What... what're you talking about?" " Just stay away from me." "Alyssa, wait." "Yes, 12 o'clock tomorrow, should be just fine." "I will check with her first, but she's usually pretty flexible." "I'll tell her about the key." "Please, have a seat, I be right with you." "That should be just fine." "Have a nice day." "Bye, bye." "Hello." "How can I help you?" "Hm... you smell nice." "Thanks." "I like these." "Brand new?" "Yes... actually." "So..." "what brings you here today?" " You want a housekeeper?" " Actually, yes." "I'm looking for one in particular." "I was hoping you tell me where she's working." "Well..." "We're not allowed to give out our clients personal information." "I can get in a lotta trouble for that." "I understand." "I don't wanna get you in trouble." "So, who is this girl you're looking for?" " Your girlfriend?" " She's my sister." "I've been trying to call her cell-phone for weeks, but nothing." "I'm worried about her." "Our father is very ill and... she needs to come back and be with the family." "Oh..." "Hold on." " What'd you say her name was?" " Alyssa." "Alyssa Barns." "Here we go." "She's been assigned to the Wu resident." "A bid of a hike from here." "We tried to fill that position, for quite some time." "Here is the address." "Thank you, darling." "And if you need direction... anything at all... my number is on the other side." "Not a chance." "Hey..." " What the hell're you doing here?" " Um..." "I..." " I..." "I was..." " You were what?" "What's in there?" "It's... uh, it's a dead horse." "You're lying." " Am I?" " You always bury things at night?" " Why?" "Is that a crime?" " Stay away from me." "Hey, come back here." "Holy spirits, please look out for my whole family." "Full moon or crescent, we will keep offering you oblation." "When you arrive here, please, just pass by our door... and go on your journey." "Liar" " Alyssa, is everything okay?" " Yeah, I'm fine." " What's going on?" " I..." "I don't know..." "Let's help her in." " Thank you for helping..." " Let's get you inside, come on." "Hand me that bowl, please." "Oh..." "Are you feeling better?" "I think so." "The trouble is I passed out again." "Yeah, we found you laying on the patio earlier." "You were fine, but you were just lying there, like you fell asleep." "I remember just..." "seeing something and..." "Listen... tonight is the last night of the ghost month, you should be happy." "Because now the king of hell is gonna come out and take all spirits... with him back to hell, you won't see them anymore tomorrow." "Just remember to follow all the rules today... and they will bless you, and you have good luck." " Well, I should go back to work." " It's okay if you wanna rest." "It doesn't matter, just get it done." "Oh, Alyssa, there's a message for you." " Really?" " Kitchen counter by the sink." "Tessa from the Arkham Agency called, call tomorrow after 9 am." " Miss Wu." "I had a little brother once, but we sent him away." "He was sick, he eventually died." "She vanished, one day we found her room empty, and this was in her bed." "The handwriting look both the same." "She's not... missing." "Help!" "Gate of Hell will be closed soon." "Help us out." "Murderer." " Murderer." " Help me..." "Alyssa, come to me, I'm over here." "Help me." "Murderer." "I want revenge!" "I want justice!" "Alyssa?" "Are you in there?" " Going somewhere?" " Um..." " I..." "I was going..." " I thought we had an agreement." " We do, but I..." "I..." " You've been snooping around." "As a housekeeper, you're awfully messy." "You know I've been thinking... this is not gonna work out." "You're fired!" "Alyssa." "The Gate of Hell is now closing." "Help us." "Hey!" "Let me out of here!" "What am I gonna do with you?" " Miss Wu, please, let me out." " You know that she was punished." "I liked you." "All you had to do is mind your own business, instead snooping in mine all the time." "I thought we're friends." "But friends come and go." "Why did you kill her?" "Why do you wanna make me sound like a murderer, I set them freed." "You are a murderer!" "Someone like you will never understand my believes." "Why you judge me?" "You wear a cross around your neck, but gives you no faith." "Only guilt and meaningless will then exist." "A God you worship, at your convenience." "Can't you just do these things~ with that?" "I always believed in some time~ to raise a child has no worth." "~ they set a high price." "For generations, my bloodline made a fortune on this practice." "We eventually were persecuted." "Fortune turned bad." "We were also cursed." "My little brother, was impotent." "That would bring us bad fortune." "So we isolated him from the others." "We had one room~ but he couldn't." "I need to protect my family." " He had to be send away." " Send away?" "You mean murdered." "I don't expect you to understand." "Luck is not by chance." "It's structured to rules... rules and sacrifices that must be made." "My parents knew the rules and respected them." "Fortunes can not be achieved without them." "You're a sick bitch."
