Tom, Evan, Steve, and Thomas are watching The Skeptic. It's just started playing. "What's this shit even about?" Steve asked. "A lawyer who doesn't believe in ghosts moves into this haunted house," Tom said. "Now shut up so we can watch it," Evan told him. Thomas laughed and Evan glared at him. "Can we skip these fucking names?" Evan asked. "Sure," Tom said, skipping a few seconds and then another. Finally, they got to the beginning of the movie. They watched the beginning and Thomas grabbed Tom. "It's so damn creepy. You can like hear somebody breathing." "Dude, get off me," Tom told him. "Aw, you don't love me anymore?" Thomas asked. "I never loved you. Now shut up." Thomas rolled his eyes. The scene was set for someone or something to pop out. It flashed to a dead old woman and Evan and Steve both jumped. "Pussies," Tom said. Evan hit him, "She's like fucking frozen." "My aunt died," said the character on screen. "Did she?" "Yeah, they just found her. Looks like her heart." "Oh God, that's awful." "Look at the bright side; we got the house." "Damn, he's cruel," Thomas said. "Maybe she was a bitch," Tom said shrugging. "You're a bitch," Steve said back. "That woman was cold as hell to us," said the man on the screen. "Told you!" Tom said, lunging at Steve.

"Didn't you once tell me you believed in the Loch Ness monster?" "They're gonna catch her one day." The characters spoke. Evan laughed, "He is gullible." "You got any proof Loch Ness isn't real?" Thomas asked. "You got any it is?" Tom said back. Evan and Tom hit knuckles, "Nice one, bro." The guy on screen who believed in Loch Ness said some proof of it. "What now?" Steve said. "It could have been anything," Evan said. "We'll see what happens to the skeptic in this movie. That's going to be you and Tom one day," Thomas said. "Yeah, just because we don't believe in Loch Ness, we're skeptics," Tom said. "It really just means we're sane, but however you want to put it," Evan said. Tom laughed.

The computer changed to a scene of the inside of the house. "Damn, if I had a house like that we could all live there," Evan said. "And still have room," Steve said. "True dat," Tom said.

A character on screen had a seizure. While he was still out of it, he told the other guy, the lawyer whose aunt had died, that there was something upstairs in the closet behind the crucifixion. "Holy shit, that would freak me out," Tom said. "Pussy," Evan said, taking his turn to hit him. Thomas laughed, "Wow."

The main character and his wife got into a fight. "Oh shit, she's pissed," Steve said. "Naw," Evan said sarcastically. "Do you guys ever shut up?" Thomas asked. They all shook their heads.

It was now playing a new scene. One in which the main character saw the closet door with the crucifix in front of it. "Holy shit, don't open the door," Tom said. "Open it!" Evan screamed. "That would freak me out. I mean, how would the guy know about that? He'd never been in the house before," Steve said. The man was interrupted and never got to open the door.

About thirty minutes later, the lawyer walks in to the house and hears creaking. He sees someone lying on the couch. He walks closer and then a strange face pops up. "Shit!" Thomas said. The person pulls off a mask to reveal themselves as his closest friend. "I would punch his fucking face in right then," Steve said. "Remind me never to play a trick on him," Evan said. Tom laughed, "Yeah, seriously." "I'm just saying. I mean, the dude thinks the house is haunted, whether he admits it or not and then his best friend is going to giving him a fucking scare like that? Hell no."

At another scene, Bryan, the lawyer, had heard someone say his name. He woke up and went to the stairs. He found a sock and then looked down. At the bottom of the steps, someone sat, brushing through their hair. All of them jumped. "Shit, I'm going to have a heart attack," Steve said. "Me too," Thomas said. "This is some scary shit," Tom said. "Psh, my grandma could watch this and not flinch," Evan said. "Is that why you just jumped?" Steve asked. "Burn," Thomas said. They all laughed.

"I need to take a piss," Tom said. "We'll pause it for you," Steve said. "Hurry!" Evan yelled. Tom jumped up and ran into the bathroom. Tom hurried back in, "Play." Thomas hit the play button and they started watching the movie again.

They were listening to an argument between Bryan and his wife. "What if his mom is the ghost?" Tom said. "I think she is," Steve said. "The therapist asked him if he saw anything about her face and his wife just said that that's what he talks about in his sleep," Thomas said. "But she looks too young to be his mom," Evan said. "We only saw her from the back," Tom said. "True."

"You don't know who she is, do you? The woman you saw? She was your mother," said the psychic. "Told you," Tom said softly. "Dear God, this is scary," Evan said.

Bryan saw a doll and started screaming. "Damn, dude's scared of dolls," Evan said. Tom laughed, "Did you see her eyes? They fucking rolled forward. I'd be scared too." "Sh," Thomas said.

Bryan started laughing. "I don't mean to laugh. I just mean, did you see the look on her face when we found her hiding spot?" The psychic narrowed her eyebrows. "I think he's insane," Steve said. "It's definitely possible," Thomas replied.

"Holy shit, he killed her," Steve said. "He was five," Evan said. "She'd abused him for five years and he didn't mean to. He didn't know at five that he was going to kill her. He's probably better off without her anyway," Tom said. "Someone has anger issues," Thomas said. Tom rolled his eyes, "It's the truth. I mean, the bitch deserved it. She beat her son and locked him a closet for two days because he didn't pick up a sock. I mean, if anyone deserves to die, it's a bitch like that." Evan nodded, "Amen."

They had just watched the ending. "No!" Thomas yelled. "He killed her; she killed him. Classic karma," Steve said. "He didn't deserve it, though," Tom said. "He caused her to die. She caused him to die. It seems like they did the same thing to me," Steve said. "No they didn't," Evan said. "Depends on how you look at it," Thomas said. "That is quite possibly the worst ending ever," Evan said. "I like it," Steve said. "Of course," Tom said.
