Some Old Tyme Vaudeville music plays as three little kids (we never learn their names) rollerblade up to the house, looking for Sarah. Flora lets them in, even though Sarah isn't there. Poolside hijinks ensue as Flora sits stonily by, smoking. She starts getting grouchier and, since it's chilly and windy out, has them come play in the house. The camera follows three active sets of bare feet as they roam all over the house. Flora, Melissa, and Cynthia just lie collapsed on couches, looking like nervous bundles wrapped in blankets. The kids go a little wild, doing backflips and going to town on the huge selection of games in the house. Flora takes time out from her phone call (Louis or Mitchell, I wonder?) to say to one kid, "You're good until I smack you." Though I have no idea what that means, the kid nods as if he understands. Next, we get a montage of Flora smacking the kids gleefully, saying "Bad, bad!" and grinning like a jack-o-lantern. One kid goes up to Cynthia and notes there's a "booger in [her] nose." Cynthia warns him to "back up, boo." Melissa is like, yeah, back up, she's from the ghetto, don't you know! Finally, Flora kicks them out. She should have NEVER LET THEM IN, but oh well. Three boys under age ten? You'd have to pay me to baby-sit, seriously. They skate around outside, making faces at the camera people through the glass. One kid bangs his head and pitches the horns to the camera, which goes very well with the Tense Guitars.
Cut to Flora and Melissa leaving a "stern letter" to Sarah. Flora calls the kids "little rodents." "That isn't how you spell 'allowed,'" Melissa helpfully points out. The three roomie girls head out to eat, leaving the note taped on the door so the kids can skate right up and read it. While they're in close range, Flora grabs one and half-playfully, half-seriously throttles him, shaking him back and forth while saying, "Do you understand you're banned from this house?" The kid rolls his eyes and doesn't say anything. How fucked up is this? Flora is being a total bully. They head out to eat. The kids stick around.
