Quotes

Casper

Edit
  • Dr. Raymond Stantz: [runs out of the house frantic] Who you gonna call? Someone else.
  • Casper on Screen: I told you I was a good dancer. Can I keep you?
  • Kat: Casper?
  • Casper: There's a girl... on my bed. YES!
  • [Casper sitting on his old sled, takes his baseball cap off]
  • Casper: I begged and begged my dad to give me this sled, but he acted like I couldn't even have it, because I didn't know how to ride it. But then one morning, I came down for breakfast and there it was, just for me, for no reason at all. I took it out, went sledding all day. And my dad said "That's enough." But I couldn't stop, I was having so much fun. It got late, got dark, got cold... and I got sick, and my dad got sad.
  • Kat: What's it like to die?
  • Casper: Like... being born, only backwards. I remember, I didn't go where I was supposed to go. I just stayed behind, so my dad wouldn't be lonely.
  • Carrigan Crittenden: [appears as a ghost to Dibs] Not so fast, little man. The bitch is back!
  • Amelia Harvey: James, I know you have been searching for me, but there's something you must understand. You and Kat loved me so well when I was alive that I have no unfinished business, please don't let me be yours.
  • Amelia Harvey: That was a very noble thing you did tonight, Casper. I know Kat will never forget it. She needs her father. And I know yours won't forget it either. You fulfilled his greatest dream, Casper, and I know he is very, very proud of you. And for what you've done, I'm giving you your dream in return. But it's just for tonight. Sort of a Cinderella deal.
  • Casper: So I have until midnight?
  • Amelia Harvey: Ten.
  • Casper: Hey, Cinderella got until midnight.
  • Amelia Harvey: Cinderella wasn't twelve years old.
  • Kat: Drop dead.
  • Stretch: Too late.
  • Casper: All I want's a friend.
  • Dr. Harvey: I thought I had a hundred things to say when I saw you... but - how?
  • Amelia Harvey: Let's just say you know three crazy ghosts who kept their word.
  • Father Guido Sarducci: No problem, Piece of cake... piece of CRUMB cake!
  • Stinkie, Stretch, Fatso: All for one, and one for all!
  • Stretch: Catch your pants before they fall!
  • [the Ghosts cut off Dr Harvey's belt, making his pants fall and revealing his underwear]
  • Fatso: On the runway now we have Dr. James Harvey wearing smashing underwear.
  • Stretch: Marky Mark, he's not!
  • Dr. Harvey: Honey, I think it's time that we sat down and had a little talk.
  • Kat: It's a little late for that, Dad.
  • Dr. Harvey: How late?
  • Kat: Oh, don't worry, not that late.
  • Kat: I can see right through you.
  • Casper: Yeah, kind of happens when you haven't got any skin.
  • Clint Eastwood: [the image of Clint Eastwood appears in the mirror] I'm gonna kill you... your momma... and all her bridge-playing friends.
  • [face Changes again, this time to Rodney Dangerfield]
  • Rodney Dangerfield: You think YOU got it tough? I got a facelift! And there's one that looks just like it underneath!
  • Dibs: [looking down after Carrigan falls down the cliff] Carrigan! Are you a ghost yet?
  • [no answer]
  • Dibs: Carrigan! What a tragic waste. She had my favorite sunglasses.
  • [last lines]
  • Kat: [after everyone has left] Not bad for my first party, huh?
  • Casper: [friendly] Couldn't have been better.
  • Dr. Harvey: It ain't over yet. BOYS!
  • [the Ghostly Trio appears and start playing Casper's song]
  • Kat: Sometimes I worry that I'm starting to forget.
  • Casper: Forget what?
  • Kat: My mom. Just certain things. The sound of her making breakfast downstairs. The way she'd put on her lipstick, so carefully. I do remember, she always used Ivory soap, and when she'd hug me, I'd breathe her in, so deep. And I remember before I'd go to sleep she'd whisper in my ear, "stardust in the eyes, rosy cheeks, and a happy girl in the morning." Casper?
  • Casper: Hmm?
  • Kat: If my mom's a ghost, did she forget about me?
  • Casper: No. She'd never forget you. Kat?
  • Kat: [about to sleep] Mm-hmm?
  • Casper: If I were alive, would you go to the Halloween dance with me?
  • Kat: Mm-hmm.
  • Casper: Kat?
  • Kat: Mm-hmm.
  • Casper: [whispers] Can I keep you?
  • Kat: Mm-hmm.
  • [Casper kisses Kat on the cheek]
  • Kat: Casper, close the window. It's cold.
  • [Casper curls up in bed by Kat's side]
  • Kat: You guys are disgusting, obnoxious creeps!
  • Stretch, Fatso, Stinkie: [in unison] Thank you!
  • Kat: I mean, what's your problem? He's just cleaning the floor!
  • Stretch: Hey, shut up, skinbag!
  • Kat: Piss off!
  • Stretch: Take a hike!
  • Kat: Get a grave!
  • Carrigan Crittenden: DIBS! Get this thing cooking, you flaccid little worm, you!
  • Dibs: Ah, Carrigan! How kind of you to drop in!
  • [Carrigan laughs]
  • Dibs: You know, if there's one thing I've learned from you, it's "always kick 'em when they're down." And baby, you're six feet under. Oh, what a shame!
  • [grabs vial and prepares to break it]
  • Dibs: Sorry, sweetheart, we're through!
  • Carrigan Crittenden: I am not gonna forget this, you ungrateful, lousy little worm, you!
  • Dibs: [chuckles sarcastically] You can haunt me all you want, but it's gonna be in a great big expensive house, with lovely purple wallpaper, and great big green carpets, and a little dog called Carrigan... a b----, just like you! I've got the power! I've got the treasure!
  • Carrigan Crittenden: And you have a flight to catch!
  • Dibs: Huh?
  • [Carrigan flings Dibs out the window]
  • Carrigan Crittenden: [turns to Casper and Kat, calmly] Any other takers?
  • Casper: No, but aren't you forgetting something?
  • Carrigan Crittenden: *What*?
  • Casper: Yourrr unfinished business.
  • Carrigan Crittenden: My *what*?
  • Kat: You know, unfinished business. *All* ghosts have unfinished business. That's why they don't cross over.
  • Carrigan Crittenden: Unfinished business? I *have* no unfinished business. I have my treasure, my mansion. I have *everything*. I'm... just... perfect!
  • [laughs triumphantly till a beam of light bursts out of her body]
  • Carrigan Crittenden: [gasps] Wait! Wait! I lied!
  • [more lights beams burst from her]
  • Carrigan Crittenden: I have unfinished business - lots of unfinished business! I-I'm not ready to cross over yet! Wait! You tricked me, you rotten little rats!
  • [screams as she explodes, dropping the vial and chest, then Kat lunges for the vial and the chest hits the floor, opening the lid]
  • [after seeing a ghost]
  • Kat: Dad, I'm sorry.
  • Dr. Harvey: For what?
  • Kat: For not believing you, for thinking you were a total loser.
  • Dr. Harvey: Aww honey... apologize later!
  • Stinkie: Scream or sugar?
  • Arnold: Come with me if you want to live.
  • Casper: God, I'd kill for a pinky.
  • Stinkie: Smell-o-gram!
  • [Dr Harvey is a ghost]
  • Dr. Harvey: [sits up, then flies in a parabola as he dives toward the floor sideways] I'm *free*! I've never felt so good in my *life*! And I can flyeeeee!
  • [He crashes into the floor]
  • Fatso: Rookie.
  • Stretch: Stinkie, work with him.
  • Carrigan Crittenden: [stalking after Dibs, carrying a huge battle axe] Damn it, Dibs! This won't hurt a bit! Stop bein' such a weenie! It's just business! COME ON!
  • Fatso: [sucked into a vacuum clearner] This s... sucks!
  • Stinkie: [the Ghostly Trio along with Dr. Harvey are out partying, and Dr. Harvey is drunk, singing karaoke] Hey, this Dr. Harvey's got a lot of spirit, you know what I'm sayin'?
  • Stretch: Yeah, but he's got his whole miserable life ahead of him.
  • Fatso: So we could do him a favor, and put him out of his misery.
  • Stretch: Yeah. Hey, good idea. We've been The Ghostly Trio long enough. Time to make it a... quartet!
  • Stretch: [eating breakfast with Stinkie and Fatso] Ya know what the problem is? Casper's got no respect for us.
  • Fatso: After all we've done for the little glowworm.
  • Stretch: Yeah. HEY!
  • [he sees Casper cleaning the mess the trio made on the floor, via their breakfast]
  • Stretch: What the hell do ya think you're doin', Bulbhead? This floor used to be dirty enough to eat off of.
  • Casper: But we have company.
  • Stretch: Oh, yeah? Well, company loves misery.
  • [he turns into a Nike]
  • Stretch: BOOM!
  • [he kicks Casper out of the way and the whole trio laughs and cheers]
  • [Dr Harvey pulls at the carpet to stop him rolling down the stairs, it comes away and he rolls down the stairs in the carpet]
  • Stinkie: Sushi, anyone? California roll, comin' up!
  • Stretch: [the door knocks three times slowly] That was fast. I... I believe it's for you, Doc.
  • [supernatural music plays as light starts to shine in the room. Dr. Harvey starts to answer it but looks back]
  • Stinkie: [with Stretch] Go.
  • [Dr. Harvey continues his way to the door. The music intensifies. When he opens the door, light shines in his face and he stares in awe]
  • Dr. Harvey: Amelia?
  • [the light and music fade as Fatso reveals himself in a red dress and makeup. He notices Dr. Harvey]
  • Fatso: MY MAN!
  • [he pulls him in for a kiss]
  • Fatso: MMMMMMMM-WAH!
  • [Dr. Harvey falls to the floor]
  • Fatso: Hmm.
  • [Fatso laughs smugly]
  • Mr. Rugg: [reading Mr Crittenden's will] To the Save the Dolphins Foundation, $11million. To the Save The Pumas Foundation, $1.2million. To the Padigonian Wasps Foundation, $1.4million. To The Dyslexic Dalmatians Foundation...
  • Carrigan Crittenden: The hell with the livestock. What did the old stiff leave me?
  • Dibs: [clears throat] I believe that what the bereaved is trying to express is that the sudden death of her only father has left a great gaping void in her bank, in her life, and, er, Carrigan wonders what he has left her to fill it up with.
  • Mr. Rugg: Let's see.
  • [reads]
  • Mr. Rugg: Bobcats, Owls, Snakes, Daughter; Carrigan, Whipstaff Manor in Maine.
  • Carrigan Crittenden: And?
  • Mr. Rugg: And I'm late for lunch, so if you'll excuse me.
  • Carrigan Crittenden: Are you telling me that I spent the last two days holding his clammy hand waiting for him to take it or like it and return his one lousy piece of property?
  • Mr. Rugg: No it was lousy 50 years ago. Now it's condemned. Enjoy.
  • [gives the will to Carrigan]
  • Carrigan Crittenden: Wait a minute. This is not fair! I protest! I'm gonna drag you and every one of those damn dolphins to court!
  • Mr. Rugg: Knock yourself out.
  • Casper: How about a paper? New York Times? The Journal? Hong Kong Press?
  • Fatso: I feel like Oprah on hiatus.
  • Stretch: You look like Oprah on hiatus.
  • Casper: I guess when you're a ghost, life just doesn't matter that much anymore.
  • Stretch, Fatso, Stinkie: [singing] It's my party and I'll die if I want do, die if I want to. You will die too, when it happens to you.
  • Kat: I know it looks kind of funky and stuff from the outside. But, I mean, I don't know... Inside it's kind of cool.
  • Amber Whitmire: Well, yeah, if you drink blood.
  • Kat: In two years I have been to nine different schools, eaten in nine cafeterias. I can't even remember anyone's name.
  • Kat: For once, I would just like to be in one place long enough to make a friend.
  • Dr. Harvey: Honey, you will. I mean, come on, we're movin' to Friendship, Maine. Even I might make one.
  • Kat: You better, Dad. 'Cause a single guy your age is more likely to become a bank hostage than to make new friends.
  • [the Ghostly Trio are about to kill James to make them one of them]
  • Dr. Harvey: [turns to them, drunkenly] Can I just say something here... and get a little personal?
  • [the Ghostly Trio chatter in agreement as they hide their weapons to do away James]
  • Dr. Harvey: Well, you know... I just got to tell you... You guys reminds me of what it's like to hang out with the boys.
  • [as James is not looking, the Ghostly Trio creep from behind him getting ready to attack]
  • Dr. Harvey: I mean, you are absolutely there for each other.
  • [James turns to the Ghostly Trio, they grin nervously trying to hide their weapons]
  • Dr. Harvey: I mean, you look life right in the face and you say, "I'm a ghost, I don't need you. Mmm!" Well, you know what? I'm going to tell that Miss Critten-Picken... uh... Crichton-Critten... Crut... I'm going to that that lady... you aren't going anywhere! It's your house; you're haunting it! Possession is nine-tenths of the law!
  • Stretch, Fatso, Stinkie: [stunned hearing this] No!
  • Dr. Harvey: Yes!
  • Stretch, Fatso, Stinkie: NO!
  • Dr. Harvey: Yes!
  • [the Ghostly Trio groan in annoyance as he wraps their arms around them]
  • Dr. Harvey: I didn't think so at first, but... you guys are great. I love you, guys.
  • [the Ghostly Trio go alarmed hearing these words as James delivers an exasperatingly drunken kiss to each of them, the Ghostly Trio then begin crying feeling touched by this]
  • Stretch: [tosses the broken beer bottle away] What a sweetheart!
  • Fatso: [tosses a harpoon arrow to the wall] I can't creak him now!
  • Stinkie: Me neither! No way!
  • [Stinkie sets the rifle off causing bits of the ceiling to fall on the floor]
