She""s never found one.She describes he two-week old occupant of the rented room whose name is Carlotta Valdes: "I can""t imagine that sweet girl with that dear face...That was Warren Sheffield calling long-distance to propose." The only member of the family unaware of the expected phone call is Papa, and he feels like an outsider:Just when was I voted out of this family?When the phone rings a second time, Rose answers and hesitantly (but yelling throughout in order to be heard) speaks to Warren while the entire family hangs on her every word.(Was he the next Jason?) The film ended with a zoom to his eyeball under the mask, and a fade to black before the credits.
