Henry Northrup (segment "The Crate")
- Henry: I drove out there with the remains of three human beings... well, two human beings and Wilma.
- Wilma Northrup: What are you doing creeping around down there? Where's Dex? What kind of a mess has he gotten himself into?
- Henry Northrup: Well, it's easier if I just show you, I think. Come on down.
- Wilma Northrup: [grabbing Charlie Gereson's smashed glasses] What's this?
- Henry Northrup: Oh, I found them on the...
- Wilma Northrup: Oh, Henry. Did he beat her?
- Henry Northrup: Well...
- Wilma Northrup: How bad is she? Is she conscious?
- Henry Northrup: [begins laughing] It's easier if your just see for yourself, Wilma.
- Wilma Northrup: What are you laughing about? Your best friend gets in a scrape with a girl and you're laughing?
- Henry Northrup: [continues laughing] But there's a funny side to it, Wilma! Wait'll you see! You'll think so yourself!
- Wilma Northrup: You're hysterical, Henry. That's just what I would've expected.
- Henry Northrup: [stops laughing, turns deadly serious] No, I don't think you'll expect this, Wilma. No, this is going to be an entirely new experience.
- Wilma Northrup: Oh, Henry - can't you do anything right?
- Henry Northrup: Huh?
- Wilma Northrup: 'Huh?' That's what I figured. 'HUH?' That's just what I'd expect from you! I told you half an hour ago to get one of those kids in the monkey suits to bring the car around!
- Henry Northrup: [sheepishly] Oh, I - I'm sorry...
- Wilma Northrup: Oh, Henry, you are such a little kid! I swear to God you are! I mean were would you be without me to take care of you?
- Professor Dexter Stanley: Two people are dead, and I could be blamed. I know that's a terrible consideration to have at a time like this, but -
- [Henry hands him a drink and he swallows it one gulp]
- Henry Northrup: Good God! Last time I saw someone do that was in the movies!
- Professor Dexter Stanley: It could mean my ass, Henry, it wasn't me! It was that - that thing in the crate! And I don't even know what it was!
- [giggles hysterically]
- Henry Northrup: What two people? Who is dead?
- Professor Dexter Stanley: Mike the janitor at Amberson Hall, and Charlie Gereson. He wanted to measure the bite marks, Henry. I guess he got his chance!
- [giggles]
- Professor Dexter Stanley: I certainly guess he did!
