Quotes8

  • Bernard: Otho, I didn't realize you were into the supernatural.
  • Otho: Well, of course! You remember, after my stint with the Living Theatre I was one of New York City's leading paranormal researchers until the bottom dropped out in '72.
  • Beryl: [cynically] Paranormal - is that what they're calling your kind these days?
  • Otho: Don't mind her. She's still upset because somebody dropped a house on her sister.
  • Lydia: They don't wanna come down.
  • Delia: Charles...
  • Otho: Why not?
  • Lydia: I think the reason is, is that they were trying to scare you away, and you didn't get scared.
  • Delia: Please, they're dead. It's a little late to be neurotic.
  • Otho: [while Lydia shows them the attic] Fabulous. 'Otho Fenlock's Locked Door Ghosts' Probably committed suicide up there. I'm totally enchanted.
  • Delia: They're in there? They must live like animals.
  • Charles: It's locked. How'd they get in?
  • Delia: [bangs on the door] Open this door, you dead people, or we'll bust it down and we'll drag you out by the ropes you hang yourselves with!
  • Lydia: Shh! They didn't commit suicide.
  • Delia: It doesn't matter. Lydia, I have a chance to teach you something here: you have got to take the upper hand in all situations or people, whether they're dead or alive, will walk all over you.
  • Otho: What happened to these people?
  • Delia: They died. Oh, look, an indoor outhouse.
  • Otho: [enters a room with Barbara holding up Adam's severed head] Ugh. Deliver me from L.L. Bean.
  • Otho: Oh, you family types, you got other things to worry about. Maxie Dean's coming up here tonight. You got to figure out a way to sell these ghosts. I can only do so much.
  • Charles: What are you gonna do, Otho, viciously rearrange their enviroment?
  • Otho: I know just as much about the supernatural as I do about interior design.
  • [about the house]
  • Otho: There's absolutely no organic flowthrough.
  • Delia: I noticed that too; it's like a giant... ant farm.
  • Otho: I have a feeling there's something very interesting behind that door.
  • Delia: [sarcastically] Yeah. Ghosts. The people who died in this house and they want us OUT of here. Well, let's do them a favor...
