Hello, I’m Jill Little. The girl next door. My granny is Mrs. Jenkins. It’s so nice to visit. Mm. I’m a little hungry. May I have a banana from your bowl?

(Grabbing one regardless)

Thank you so. You must be the caretaker here. My grandma told me about you. She’s a little tired after a long day with me. She keeps telling me to go play, near the highway. My parents left me with her when they suddenly moved to Australia. Grandma says the lady who lives here was once a famous movie star -- and that she may have turned her boyfriend into hamburger with a hatchet! You never know about neighbors. Maybe I’ll have an apple too.

(Reacting to what she’s told)

Hey, what’s that? Are you asking me to run along… go back to Granny?… Okay. If you feel that way. …On the other hand….]

(Reciting lyric like a speech; coyly and slightly sinister)

I KNOW A SECRET

I OUGHT TO TELL:

HOW PEOPLE ARE CHAINED IN HERE

AND BRAINED IN HERE

AS WELL.

HI HO! A SECRET

BAD AS CAN BE;

I CAN'T SAY TO KILL IT'S FUN,

BUT STILL IT'S FUN

TO SEE!

PLUS, INSIDE THIS HOUSE,

THERE ARE GOLD ANTIQUES AND CLOCKS,

AND A JEW'LRY BOX,

AND OTHER THINGS -- NICE.

TO GET IN THE HOUSE --

I CAN SNEAK PAST BOLTS AND LOCKS;

SO I'LL KEEP THE SECRET

FOR A PRICE!

(Maniacal laugh)
