In case you haven't noticed, I'm a bit of a freak! I get within 10 feet of anything dead, and I go into seizures. I touch anyone and a whole lifetime of shit just flashes in front of my eyes! So yeah, I'm a little depraved! [As Arthur begins to descend down the basement stairs] What are you doing? What did I say? Did I say there was a petting zoo downstairs? No! There are ghosts downstairs, Arthur! Hey Glass Family Robinson! You're wasting your breath! This is ectobar glass, it's soundproof. Oh Cyrus, you crazy son of a bitch. What did you do? Maggie [Walking through house wreckage, last lines] This is it for me. I'm on the first fuckin' plane back to Newark. Uh-uh. I am sorry, family, Kathy, Bobby, uncle , ghosts. I am sick of this nanny shit. I've had it. This was not in the job description. I QUIT! [Talking to herself] Stuck in here, bunch of crazy white people... Did the lawyer split? Miss Maggie does not do windows. Kalina We have 10 minutes until the ectoplasmic shit hits the fan. I've got enough explosives to blow us back to the fifteenth century. W-why are you so mad at me? I did everything you asked me to do. I've killed Damon, I stole the book and spells. I even made sure your pathetic nephew didn't get himself killed. Looks to me like I'm saving your ass! Cyrus Kriticos (triggering walls to crush and kill Kalina) We all have to make sacrifices. Dialogue Dennis Rafkin: [Seeing that several of the ghost cell doors are now open] What the hell? Give me those! [Takes Maggie's glasses] Let me see. Why are these open? I was down here before. They weren't open. [The Hammer spikes the ectoplasmic wall frame with his hammer] Oh, God! I hate it when they do that! Maggie: Do what? Dennis Rafkin: They wait for your to stick your face right up against the glass! And then give you a big, fat BOO! Rafkin: Oh. Oh boy. Maggie: What? Rafkin: Uh, that's the symbol of The Jackal. Maggie: What's The Jackal? Rafkin: The Jackal is the Charlie Manson of ghosts and if The Jackal's out, screw the kid! We gotta get out of this basement! Maggie: [The Angry Princess walks toward Maggie with a butcher knife] Where? I can't see shit without the glasses, idiot! Rafkin: ...Well, I can see. And I think you should go this way. Go, go, go, go! [Ạs they run down another hallway] Rafkin: There are ghosts in the basement! Maggie: [Points down] In this basement? Rafkin: Of course in this basement! What is it with you people? If it were next door, I wouldn't give a shit! Rafkin: [Psychically probes the junkyard, then yells out in pain] You son of a bitch! You said he only killed nine people! There's over forty victims here! Cyrus: Nine when he was alive. He's added a few since then. Kalina: Who are you to play God? Cyrus: Playing is for children. Maggie: Bobby, don't call your sister a slut. Kathy: Thank you, Maggie. Maggie: I prefer the term bitch. Arthur: He wasn't too popular. My dad said he squandered the family fortune. Kathy: We have a family fortune? Arthur: Well, no. Cyrus squandered it. Maggie: Hey Bobby, isn't that great? You got a late uncle. Bobby: What is he late for? Kathy: His next birthday. Bobby: [Excitedly] You mean he's dead?! Kathy: Now we get his attention. Rafkin: I know this is gonna sound completely whacked, but just- just stay with me, okay? I used to hunt displaced spiritual energies with your uncle. Arthur: I'm sorry? Rafkin: Uhh, P.K. agents. Revenants. Uh, uh, uh - Like wraiths. Wraiths? Do you have any idea what I'm talking about? Arthur: [Chuckling nervously and shaking his head “no”] Uhh... Rafkin: That's okay - that's okay. I'll do it the easy way. Ghosts. I used to hunt ghosts with your uncle Cyrus. Arthur: [after a long pause] Goats? Rafkin: GHOSTS! Ghosts! Goddammit, listen to me! Arthur: I told them not to leave this spot. Rafkin: What do you expect? They're kids. Arthur: Well, thank you, Dr. Phil. Rafkin: I hate this job. Kalina: It doesn't seem to like you much either. Wonder why. Rafkin: If you have something to say, just say it. Kalina: Oh okay then...why don't we start with: This is all your goddamn fault!!! If you didn't catch them we wouldn't be running from them now would we?! Rafkin: It's his uncle that built the damn house! Kalina: Yeah, but you helped him! How could you help him without knowing what he was doing? Rafkin: I had my reasons. Kalina: Money, you parasite! You stole people's souls for money. How depraved is that? Rafkin: If you hadn't noticed. I'm a little bit of a freak! I come within ten feet of anything dead I go into seizures. I touch somebody and a whole life full of shit flashes in front of my eyes; alright so yeah I'm depraved and Cyrus was my friend and he accepted me so... Kalina: He didn't accept you, you're so pathetic! He used you! Arthur: Shut up, both of you. Cut him some slack. What difference does it make? Kalina: You didn't tell him, did you? Arthur: Oh god, tell me what, what now? Kalina: About the fourth ghost. Rafkin: No, don't do this. I didn't tell him. Don't do this. Kalina: He has a right to know! Rafkin: What about the fourth ghost? Kalina: St. Luke's hospital, six months ago. Arthur: You're saying my wife's spirit is trapped in this house? Rafkin: I didn't know you. I didn't know her. I didn't know she had a husband. Arthur: Why in God's name? Why? Tell me why her! Rafkin: I don't know why. Cyrus handpicked them all, including your wife. When I found out who you were, God, I've been trying to help you. Arthur: You call this help? She's right, this is all your goddamn fault! Ben Moss: Now he's gonna tell you that Cyrus owed him money. Rafkin: He did owe me money. He owed me a shit load of money! Kalina: [Looking up] We gotta go. Arthur: I'm not leaving without my kids! Kalina: [Still looking up] Try telling him that. [Arthur looks up to see Kalina looking at the First Born Son] Rafkin: Quite a place you've got. Kathy: Yeah. We're moving in! Arthur: [Holds up key] Well... one step at a time. [Inserts key in door, opens it and enters] Bobby: Dad! You broke it! Kathy: Bobby. Give it a rest. Rafkin: S-stop! Maggie: W-what?? Rafkin: D-don't move! Don't speak! Somehow....we are behind enemy lines. [First Born Son approaches them] Hey little guy. [Holds up hand] How? Maggie: I don't think you should be doing that! Rafkin: Shut up! Maggie: YOU shut up! You're the one who keeps pissing him off! Taglines • Terror has multiplied • The Only Thing Worse Than Being Trapped in a House with a Ghost...
