(suspenseful music)
- Well, could be worse.
- I don't see anyone.
- Steven, someone has to be here.
- Mom, I'm hungry.
Mom!
- Honey, I know.
Daddy and I are trying to talk right now.
- This vacation sucks.
- Should we go knock on the door?
(suspenseful music)
(knocking)
- Maybe we should just go.
- Relax.
(knocks)
(door creaks)
- Hello?
Hello?
- All right, Nance. Enough, come on.
- It's fine.
Anyone home?
Hello?
Let's check the side yard.
Oh!
- Can we help you?
- I'm so sorry, you must live here.
- That's right.
- I'm Nancy.
This is Emily, my daughter, and Steven, my husband.
- Orson Cutler, my daughter Mary Beth.
- Afternoon.
- Sorry, we just meant to see if someone was home,
but the door opened when we knocked.
- Did it now?
Well, I suppose that's fair.
What brings y'all out here?
- We were on a long road trip, but someone got us lost.
- That can happen out here.
So, where y'all coming from?
- California.
- Ah, you're a long way from home.
- Yeah, we meant to break up the drive
by stopping at a hotel, and I saw a sign a ways back,
but then nothing.
We were hoping you could point us in the right direction.
- Well, there ain't much out in these parts,
but well, if you're looking for somewhere to stay,
we could probably take you in.
- Oh, we can surely take you in.
- That's very kind of you, but we wouldn't want to impose.
- Oh, no, no, no, you ain't imposing at all.
We got more than enough room.
We got a nice little space out back by the hog pen.
- Friend of yours?
- Oh, that's my son, Edmund.
Don't mind him.
He's just a little quiet.
Well, anyways, you might as well stay.
No good driving after dark.
- Y'all must be hungry.
- Well, it is getting dark and we are pretty tired.
- Well, that settles it then!
Don't you worry about a thing,
we will fill you up and take care of you nice and easy.
Right this way.
- Go on!
(suspenseful music)
(door creaks)
(crickets chirping)
- So quiet out here.
(laughs)
- Ain't it, freein'?
Nothing beats a summer night 'round here.
- I take it your family's been here for quite some time.
- Since 1888.
Papa's great grandaddy built this place brick by brick.
- That he did.
- So, how's it tasting?
- Oh, it's delicious.
- Oh, good, I'm so glad!
This is my mama's secret recipe.
Rest her soul.
It's been almost two years since she's passed.
- Well, thank you for sharing it with us.
- Well, of course, it is our pleasure.
Us Cutlers have always said the best way
to bring folks together is through their stomachs!
(laughs)
- Everything okay?
- Don't worry about her, the food's great, really.
- Is it, though?
- Of course it is.
- Oh, of course it is.
Have you even tried it?
Have any of you tried it?
You won't hurt my feelings, I'm just curious.
Well, say something somebody, ain't no need to lie.
- Darling, maybe you get some dessert.
Everybody likes dessert, right?
- Pardon me, I will be right back.
- Sorry about that,
she's a little particular about her cooking.
- It's fine.
We all have our moments.
(suspenseful music)
- So, a family road trip?
Where exactly are you heading?
(zipper opening)
(repeated thudding)
(grunts)
- So, where are y'all coming from?
- California.
- My, you're a long way from home.
Y'all must be hungry.
