The People Under the Stairs1991

Alice:
People have tried.

Fool:
You mean, the people in the cellar?

Alice:
[nods]

Fool:
Who are they?

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:
[hears screaming from within the walls] What is that?

Alice:
What?

Fool:
That yelling! What is that?

Alice:
Well, that's Roach.

Fool:
Roach?

Alice:
That's who Daddy's hunting. See, Daddy hates Roach because he got out of the cellar and into the walls, and now Daddy can't find him.
