A thunderstorm is coming.
A thunderstorm, yes.
It's coming this way.
It's on the way.
We'll have to put
you under the bed.
The bed.
Under it.
I will jump away from there.
You should see her
when it's going to storm.
She'll
vanish into the other room and shut the door...
along with Madeline.
Mm-hmm.
She hides herself under the blankets,
where it's dark,
and you can see
the blankets shaking.
I just have to close the...
Uh-oh.
- Uh-oh.
See, she is already scared to death.
Yes.
As long as the windows
are closed.
I can't even...
You also don't...
It must be almost time.
I'm not afraid of thunder
You're not afraid of it?
No.
When the children were growing up
and a thunderstorm was coming,
I'd open the shades,
but I had to close
the window.
Then I'd tell them how beautiful it was.
We would watch it
thundering and lightning.
The lightning.
- The lightning.
It didn't bother me, either.
No, nor me.
But do you remember how
Grammy Dee
would open the window
in that old house.
She said
she didn't know what happened to her.
She suddenly woke up
on the other side of the room.
I think it just brushed her,
because if it really hit her,
she wouldn't have been there.
Uh-uh.
Yes, so...
Uh-oh.
One minute.
Ahahci-te.
She is so scared.
She's so afraid, she's going to start running.
That's right, she's not...
My legs are starting to shake.
That's right.
She is really scared of thunderstorms.
It's funny when she starts running
and shuts the door.
And she
doesn't feel her bad knee.
No.
She doesn't remember it.
She forgets it.
The poor...
Well, you know,
there's only one thing I'm afraid of,
a snake.
Oh, me too.
And there are so many lately.
And spiders
almost scare me to death.
I'm not afraid of spiders,
but I am of snakes.
They are so big.
And the children were carrying some around yesterday.
Ah, oh no!
They were carrying one,
and they said it was this long.
Oh, oh no!
Oh my God!
They were carrying it around.
Well, that's what the children said,
but they stretch the story.
Mm-hmm.
I told them, "Don't do that again."
I told Adrian, "Don’t ever
come around here with that snake."
I told him that we’re all afraid of them.
Everyone but you.
Yes, I am.
You are? You, too?
Yes, I am.
She just gets startled when…you know.
Yes.
But a spider —
and they are so big this year.
Yes.
They are about this big.
Ah, oh no!
Yes, that’s right.
I was scared to death. One fell on me,
it fell right here.
Oh no!
I almost…
Hey, I thought I was going to drop.
You’re just afraid of snakes?
Yes.
I’m scared to death of them.
When I was cooking, something fell on me.
I looked and it was a big one.
I went like that, and it fell into the sink.
I screamed.
Cliv came running in; I’d woken him up.
I was screaming all around the house.
He said, "I knew something had happened to you."
That’s why he came running.
He said, "Holy cow, that is a big one!"
I said, "I told you it was."
I almost died.
