- Gertie: Alligators in the sewers.
- Mary: All we're trying to say is, maybe you just probably imagined it. It happened...
- Elliott: I couldn't have imagined it!

- Mary: What?
- Elliott: It's in the toolshed. It threw the ball at me.

- Elliott: [in hushed tone] Nobody go out there!

- Mary: And put those knives back!

- Mary: Okay, Elliot! Let me get a flashlight.
