Dismissive? Making you feel crazy? Comparing your mental health issues to your mother's? Not THIS horror movie husband. He actually believes you and gets you the hell out of your newly purchased haunted house.

[ upstairs door slamming shut]
[footsteps rushing down a flight of stairs]
Baby?!
Whoa! What happened? You okay?
(Listening)
And you're sure it's not, like, an animal that got in somehow, a squirrel or...I don't know...I'm gonna go check it out--
[she grabs his shirt to stop him]
Okay, okay I won't. No, no, I promise. Shhhhhh. (whispering) I promise. Come here...
Take a deep breath. Good. And another. Breath in through your nose and out of your mouth, it really works...
There you go...let me wipe those tears and kiss those cheeks.
(light kisses)
I've never seen you like this...
[listening for a beat]
All week?! You're telling me that you've been walking around this place scared to death and saying nothing? Why?
Oh, babe, that kills me. You are the most important person on the planet to me, you are not "inconveniencing" me with your feelings. Exactly the opposite actually...
Well, whatever it is, you're NOT crazy. So, let's just get out of here.
Yeah, fuck it. You don't feel safe, let's get away and reassess, right?
You don't have to thank me, baby. I've known you literally for years and no, I don't believe in ghosts but I trust you. You saw something that scared you shitless and that's enough for me. Let's grab what we need and go to a hotel.
Yeah, we'll do it together. I'm right here, hold on to me, we'll grab stuff from the laundry room, no need to go back upstairs. We can get toothbrushes and stuff from a drugstore on the way...
