Perry Babcock

Norman Babcock: Hey, uh, dad? Grandma says, can you turn up the heating? Her feet are cold.
[In shock, Courtney pops her gum, and Perry falls off the stool he was standing on and the replacement lightbulb shatters on the ground]
Sandra Babcock: [sensing her husband's frustration] Now, Perry...
Perry Babcock: How many times do we have to go through this, son? Your grandmother is dead!

Perry Babcock: This is where it stops! It's one thing being a mental case in front of your family, but not the whole freaking town! There's not gonna be any more talking to ghosts, or grandmas, or, or... what is it now?
Sandra Babcock: I think it's trees.
Perry Babcock: You're grounded! You hear me?
Norman Babcock: This is ridiculous. I wish everyone could see what I see! I didn't ask to be born this way!
Perry Babcock: [Perry mutters as he slams his door shut] Funny, neither did we.

Sandra Babcock: Norman, I know you and Grandma were very close, but we all have to move on. Grandma's in a better place now.
Norman Babcock: No, she's not. She's in the living room.
Perry Babcock: Your grandmother was old and sick, and she died. That's all there is to it.

Perry Babcock: [Final Lines]
[Norman changes the TV channel from the local news to the cheesy horror movie he was watching at the beginning, Perry walks in]
Perry Babcock: Son?
Norman Babcock: [turns head to greet him] Hi, Dad.
Perry Babcock: [takes a seat on the couch next to Grandma's spirit] What are you watching?
Norman Babcock: A scary movie.
Perry Babcock: Oh. Uh, your grandma here, is she?
[Grandma looks at Perry in shock, and Norman nods his head yes]
Perry Babcock: Of course she is. Um, is she, uh? Is she, uh, sitting next to me?
[Norman nods yes again. Perry adjusts himself to face Grandma]
Perry Babcock: Hi, Mom.
[Grandma looks at Norman in shock, but goes back to her knitting as Perry readjusts himself on the couch. Sandra walks in and sits on the chair next to the couch near Grandma and Courtney walks in and sits down on the floor next to Norman]
Perry Babcock: [at the same time as Grandma] So, what's happening now?
Grandma: [at the same time as Perry] So, what's happening now?
[Norman chuckles to himself]
