The very next day at the house, Harry Belafonte's "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)" plays as Adam works on the model and Barbara dusts. I" wish I had a better view of the cemetery from here. I can't tell which is the best placement for us. Cabin fever, hon?", said Adam. "I can't clean anything properly. The vacuum's in the garage and we can't leave the house. Why don't they tell us something? Where are the other dead people? Why is it just you and me?", said Barbara. "Maybe this is heaven", said Adam. "In heaven, there wouldn't be dust on everything", said Barbara.
Adam looks out the window and he calls out to Barbara. "It's Jane". "What's she doing here?", asked Barbara. "I don't know", answered Adam who was trying to get Jane's attention. "Jane, up here. Jane!" Jane doesn't notice Adam. "Can't see you, right? In the book, rule number two: the living usually won't see the dead", said Barbara. "Won't or can't?", asked Adam. "It just says 'won't.' God, this book is so stupid! I can't understand anything in there," said Barbara. "Barb, honey, we're dead. I don't think we have very much to worry about anymore," said Adam. Jane leaves, and the house is sold to a family (the Deetzes) who just move in.
