Quotes6

  • Parada: Are you the one advising Miss Carter to sell the castle?
  • Larry Lawrence: No, my advice is keep the castle and sell the ghosts.
  • Parada: I myself have heard of only one ghost: the spirit of Don Santiago.
  • Larry Lawrence: Tell me, does he appear nightly or just Sundays and Holidays?
  • Parada: I am simply doing my best to make clear to you that Miss Carter is taking her life in her hands if she goes into the castle tonight.
  • Larry Lawrence: You know, that gives me an idea that scares me out of my wits.
  • Parada: What?
  • Larry Lawrence: I'll go there first.
  • Parada: You are a brave man.
  • Larry Lawrence: Me? No, my nerves are the break-away kind. I've got rabbit blood in me. Why, do you know what's liable to happen if I see a ghost there tonight?
  • Parada: No.
  • Larry Lawrence: I'd be so scared I'd probably take a shot at it... Won't I feel silly shooting ghosts?
  • Larry Lawrence: I'm a ghost breaker.
  • Parada: A what?
  • Larry Lawrence: Well, you've heard of trust breakers and home breakers? I'm a ghost breaker. I take family skeletons out of the closet and dust them off. I explain mysteries that people don't want explained. I make a nice living, too, chasing ghosts of the past, if you'll pardon the poetic reference.
  • Larry Lawrence: Do you see what I see?
  • Parada: I'm tryin' to hope not.
  • Mary Carter: Outside of the ghosts, are there any new reasons why I shouldn't sail tonight?
  • Parada: Now, maybe this is a good reason. I just received this cablegram giving me the authority to offer you $50,000 for your castle.
  • Mary Carter: $50,000! This doesn't make sense. Why should anyone offer so much for a castle full of secondhand spooks?
  • Parada: How long since anybody lived here?
  • Larry Lawrence: Twenty years. But it's only been two months since anyone died here.
