- Dissolve to later in the evening, with them all sitting around quietly while Mitch checks the defenses.
- Cathy asks if they can bring the lovebirds into the living room with them, but Lydia is dead set against it. They're birds.
- They leave them in the kitchen.
- Cathy asks why the birds are doing this.
- Mitch says, "Because we're in a Hitchcock film."
- No, actually, he says he doesn't know.
- Waiting, waiting, waiting—everyone casting scared glances at the air.
- Cathy goes to the bathroom to throw up; Melanie goes with her.
- More waiting.
- Bird cries get louder and louder, and Cathy runs to her mom.
- Bird attack—finally.
- Mitch throws more wood on the fire. Why didn't he board up the fireplace, exactly? Bad move, Mitch.
- There's a sound of glass shattering, and Mitch goes to struggle with a bird getting in.
- The birds are trying to get through the door, too. The wood is splintering.
- Melanie thrashes around faint and useless while Mitch gets his hand all bloodied as he tries to close the window they've gotten open.
- Lydia and Cathy cower in a corner.
- Mitch uses a lamp cord to tie the window shut.
- A basement. For goodness' sake, doesn't anyone in this town have a basement? Go into the basement, lock the door, and have done with it. How hard is that?
- Mitch bandages his hand.
- The birds are pecking through the door. Those are some birds.
- Mitch puts a big piece of furniture in front of it and hammers it in place.
- Melanie looks on uselessly.
- There's a big electronic screech, and the lights go out.
- This whole time, none of the characters talk; the only sound is the birds.
- The screeching gets fainter, and Mitch says, "They're going," which means that's it, more or less.
