House on Haunted Hill

Pritchett: [walking slowly to Sara] You don't... get it... do you? This house is pissed. It has no morals, 'cause it's a fucking *house*!

Eddie: [to Price, holding up bloody rag] Look at this! Huh? What is this?
Pritchett: [turns around] That? What just happened to you there... that's nothing. You've just been playing around with a ghost. Wait 'til somebody lets out the Darkness in this place. That's a whole... that's a whole new bunch of crazy shit. That's... you'll hate that shit.

Pritchett: Price didn't make the list; the house did... 'Cause she's a vengeful, stupid whore!

Pritchett: Jesus, she's dead. She was cute, too. God, I'd love to get laid before I die.
[looks at Evelyn]
Pritchett: How you doin' tonight?
[Evelyn gives him a glare]
Pritchett: Yeah, I'm all right.
[continues drinking heavily]

Peter Graves: Dr. Richard Benjamin Vannacutt. He out-butchered Bundy, made Manson look meek.

Evelyn: I gave you a goddamn guest list two pages long. Where the hell are they?
Stephen Price: Shredded. Sorry. Decided to whip up one of my own: a group so hungry for money they'd be willing to do anything. I thought you'd be more comfortable with your peers.

Pritchett: Sorry to interrupt. Goddammit, you give me my goddamn check right now! 'Cause I want it! So you give it! Now! I'm serious.

Stephen Price: Let's go back down and greet your guests, show them the real you. Corny as Kansas on the Fourth of July.
Evelyn: My guests were shredded. It's your sick little scene now: enjoy. I'm gonna run scalding water over the place you just touched me, and then I'm calling a cab.

Sara: Is this house really haunted?
Pritchett: [near hysterics] It's uh, well, bleh... hah... yeah, it's pretty scary.

Evelyn: Oh Stephen, you poor clueless old geek. All it would have taken was a simple divorce and ripping our prenup into tiny itsy bitsy little pieces, but no matter how it ended, please just know one thing. From the first moment I laid eyes on you I have always, always loved... your money. On the other hand, just the sight of you has made me want to puke.
Stephen Price: [grabbing Evelyn by the throat, surprising her] Is that a fact, princess? I mean, you could have saved us all a great deal of time, not to mention money, if you'd have just let me in on it years ago.
Evelyn: How?
Stephen Price: You must be kidding me. I'm Stephen goddamn Price.
Evelyn: [trying to talk while Steven is choking her] Sweetie?
Stephen Price: Anything, angel. Just speak it.
Evelyn: What are you going to do?
Stephen Price: Just what you wanted everyone here to believe in the first place. I'm gonna murder you, Evelyn, with the greatest of pleasure.
Evelyn: Witnesses.
Stephen Price: [grabbing her by her hair and pulling her up off the floor] You're already dead, Evelyn.
[kisses her]
Stephen Price: Happy birthday, baby.

Evelyn Stockard-Price: [Stephen H. Price is sneaking out of the room] : And where are you off to, Mr. Price? Checking the wiring on the animatronic mummies?
Steven H. Price: I'm just gonna go take a leak, if it's okay with you.

Stephen Price: [after throwing a wrench and disengaging the lock-down] So much for a PhD in engineering.

Evelyn: You know if you really love me, you'll find a way to drop dead in the next three seconds.
Stephen Price: Finding ways for me to die is really your deal, isn't it, Evelyn? Let's not forget the OJ knife with the not-quite-retractable blade. Your Jim Jones Kool-Aid was exactly that.
Evelyn: Accidents, all accidents until proven otherwise.

Stephen Price: [on his newest rollercoaster] Ever see one that starts at the top? 20 stories worth of top.

Evelyn: Who invited them?
Stephen Price: I don't know, it wasn't me and you say it wasn't you. Who then, Evelyn? Ghosts?
Evelyn: Ooh, spooky.

Evelyn: You ever find out what happened to that little TV reporter?
Blackburn: No. They never found her.
Evelyn: So, we don't even know if the little bitch is dead or alive?
Blackburn: But I think Price must have killed her. There's no other explanation.
Evelyn: There's plenty, you moron. For all we know, Steven's got her spying on us right now.
Blackburn: Oh, bullshit.
Evelyn: Oh, God. This whole fucking thing's falling apart.
Blackburn: It's not, baby, it's not. Somebody's gonna pull the trigger.
Evelyn: But nobody has yet, Donald. They're not at the breaking point. The bozos have to believe that their lives are in danger.
Blackburn: They have your death at his hands. How much more do they need?
Evelyn: But they didn't see it happen. They still have their doubts, they're confused. What we need is another body. Steven's bloody hands right next to him.
Blackburn: Well, how the hell are we gonna do that?
Evelyn: [laughs] This may sound a little crazy, but hear me out.
[Evelyn brutally stabs Blackburn]

Eddie: I've never in my life met an executive who could tie their shoes, much less rewire an entire building.
Sara: There's always exceptions.
Eddie: No. Come on, what's the truth?
Sara: The truth is if we keep taking rights, we're going to have to end up where we started.

[Price surprises Eddie, Sara, and Pritchett. Eddie almost shoots Price with his gun]
Eddie: That's a good way to get your head blown off, man!
Stephen Price: I'll recommend it to Evelyn.

[discussing Evelyn's birthday party plans over the phone]
Stephen Price: Congratulations. On a scale of one to ten on the perversity meter, you just hit a seventy-three.

Evelyn: [to Eddie] Get off of me, you pervert!
Stephen Price: Congratulations. I don't think Evelyn's said that to anything with testicles, ever.
Evelyn: Very funny, Stephen. Have you?
