- Jody: [showing off her new convertible] It's a beautiful thing, alimony. You lose a husband, you get a car. Think it'll help me pick up dudes?
- Claire Spencer: [later] Pick up any dudes yet?
- Jody: I have one in the trunk!
- Claire Spencer: You had an affair with a girl who threatened to kill herself, and now there is a presence in our house. A young, blonde girl. Don't you get it? She did it, Norman. She's dead... and now she's trying to hurt you... or both of us.
- Claire Spencer: I think she's startin' to suspect something.
- Norman: Who?
- Claire Spencer: [face morphs into the ghost] Your wife!
- Claire Spencer: Hello, Doctor Spencer.
- Norman: You're not yourself today are you?
- Claire Spencer: No, no I'm not.
- Norman: I'm going to have the police check on the house while I'm gone.
- Claire Spencer: Oh great! "Could you check in on my wife? She's hearing voices!" Yeah, wait until that gets around.
- Claire Spencer: Norman, this isn't about you! Something is happening to me. And it's... it's not to get even, and it's not some warped bid for attention. Something is happening in our house, whether you like it or not!
- Dr. Stan Powell: Wait a minute. Who do you think it is?
- Norman: I know exactly who it is.
- Elena: Who?
- Norman: It's my old man. He's pissed about us dicking around with the house.
- Norman: Claire stop! You're overreacting.
- Claire Spencer: Don't tell me how to react.
- Norman: Will you keep your voice down!
- Claire Spencer: I WILL NOT!
- Claire Spencer: What? What are you afraid of?
- Mary Feur: [hysterical] That one day I'll just, just disappear.
- Claire Spencer: There's a ghost in my house. I saw her in the water, beside me, in the bathtub.
- Psychiatrist: What does she look like?
- Claire Spencer: She looked like me. Oh... only she had green eyes.
- Jody: [on the phone] What's he doing?
- Claire Spencer: [on the phone, while spying on the neighbor] Eating dinner alone. TV dinner!
- Jody: Oh, that's bad.
- [Jody's door bell rings]
- Jody: That's my shiatsu guy. Listen, I gotta run. Call me back later, if he starts in on some serial killer desert, like lady fingers!
- Claire Spencer: You got it.
- [Claire is concerned about a missing neighbour]
- Claire Spencer: She doesn't answer the door, but her car is sitting in the garage
- Norman: Maybe she was out. Or in bed with the flu. Or maybe she was abducted by aliens for all we know.
- Claire Spencer: Norman's father had this old stuffy... stately place on a lake.
- Norman: Which we're renovating.
- Claire Spencer: Practically gutted.
- Norman: No, we didn't.
- Claire Spencer: Yes, we did.
- Norman: "Gutted"?
- Jody: I stopped at this little café to get a coffee, and I see Norman sitting in the back. But he wasn't alone. It was a young blonde woman. I didn't see her face. And I didn't think anything of it at first. And I was walking over to say hello. And they started arguing in such a way that it stopped me.
- Claire Spencer: I want you to answer one question. Did you have anything to do with her disappearance?
- Norman: Yes. I had an affair with her. And when I tried to break it off... she became unstable. She came out here to the house. She threatened to kill herself... or you. I didn't think she'd go through with any of it. But then she... She disappeared.
- Norman: Claire, I don't know how to apologize to you for what I've done. But if you give me another chance, I promise you, I'll spend the rest of my life making you glad that you did. Please.
- Dr. Stan Powell: Wait until you see this place, it's beautiful.
- Claire Spencer: It is beautiful. You'll see it.
- Norman: It's haunted.
- Elena: No! Is it really?
- Norman: Claire's hearing things.
- Dr. Stan Powell: What? What are you hearing?
- Claire Spencer: I umm... I don't know. I heard, eh voices, whispering, and a picture fell.
- Elena: You know, I completely believe in that.
- Claire Spencer: You do?
- Dr. Stan Powell: I do!
- Norman: Hi, honey. What's going on? What are doing here? Are you okay?
- Claire Spencer: I... I... I heard noises. I didn't want to disturb you.
- Norman: What kind of noises? Where?
- Claire Spencer: At the house. I was scared.
- [first lines]
- Claire Spencer: Good morning, Beauty. Let's go or we'll never leave on time.
- Caitlin Spencer: I'm totally ready.
- Claire Spencer: Come on. I'll make you some waffles.
- Claire Spencer: She's awake.
- Norman: We'll be quiet. Quick and quiet.
- Claire Spencer: I don't want to be either.
- Claire Spencer: We did a great job. She's a good kid.
- Norman: We did.
- Claire Spencer: It's just us now.
- Norman: I know.
- Norman: Jesus, Claire. What the hell are you doing?
- Claire Spencer: I was looking...
- Norman: Spying.
- Claire Spencer: Spying on Mr. Feur.
- Claire Spencer: Do you remember this?
- Norman: It's the girl that disappeared last year.
- Claire Spencer: Did you know her?
- Norman: No.
- Norman: [on the phone] Someone who is very close to me, believes herself to be, or seems to be in contact with some entity or spirit, and...
- [Hearing the neighbors next door]
- Claire Spencer: What is he doing to her?
- Norman: I guess they are making up.
- [starts shutting the window]
- Claire Spencer: Wait! Leave it open.
- Norman: Do you think we can take them?
- Claire Spencer: It's worth a try.
- [Norman opens all the windows]
- Claire Spencer: Hello, Doctor Spencer.
- Norman: Mrs. Spencer.
- Claire Spencer: Forbidden fruit. You got a problem with that?
- [with the Ouija Board]
- Claire Spencer: We wish to commune with the Spirit.
- Jody: [laughs]
- Claire Spencer: What?
- Jody: Heh, "I wish to commune"!
- Claire Spencer: Forget it, this whole thing is insane.
- Jody: I'm sorry.
- Claire Spencer: We wish to communi-CATE with the spirit of Mary Feur.
- Jody: Not much happening.
- Claire Spencer: Shh!
