Quotes 

• Arthur Kriticos : He wasn't too popular. My dad said he squandered the family fortune.

  Kathy Kriticos : We have a family fortune?

  Arthur Kriticos : Well, no. Cyrus squandered it.

• Arthur Kriticos : First rule: no throwing stones.

• Dennis Rafkin : I know this is gonna sound completely whacked, all right? But just - just stay with me. I used to hunt displaced spiritual energies with your uncle.

  Arthur Kriticos : I'm sorry?

  Dennis Rafkin : Uhh, P.K. agents. Revenants. Uh, uh, uh - Like wraiths. Wraiths? Do you have any idea what I'm talking about?

  Arthur Kriticos : [chuckling nervously and shaking his head "No"]  Uhh...

  Dennis Rafkin : That's okay. That's okay, I - I'll do this the easy way. Ghosts, Arthur. I used to - I used to hunt ghosts with your uncle Cyrus.

  Arthur Kriticos : [after a pause]  Goats?

  Dennis Rafkin : GHOSTS! Ghosts, goddammit! Listen to me!

• Arthur Kriticos : I told them not to leave this spot.

  Dennis Rafkin : They're kids - what do you expect?

  Arthur Kriticos : Yeah, well, thank you, Dr. Phil.

• Arthur Kriticos : Okay, I want you guys to stay right here. Don't move.

  Kathy Kriticos : Dad, you're being paranoid and over-protective.

  Arthur Kriticos : Yeah, of all this stuff!

• Dennis Rafkin : I hate this job...

  Kalina : Yeah, well, it doesn't seem to like you much either. I wonder why.

  Dennis Rafkin : You have something to say, say it.

  Kalina : All right, let's start with... THIS IS ALL YOUR GODDAMN FAULT! If you hadn't caught them we wouldn't be running from them, now would we?

  Dennis Rafkin : It's his uncle that built the damn house!

  Kalina : Yeah, but you helped him! How could you help him without knowing what he was doing?

  Dennis Rafkin : I had my reasons...

  Kalina : Money, you parasite, you stole people's souls for money! How depraved is that?

  Dennis Rafkin : If you hadn't noticed, I'M A LITTLE BIT OF A FREAK! I come within ten feet of anything dead I go into seizures. I touch somebody, and a whole life full of shit flashes in front of my eyes! Alright? So yeah, I'm depraved. But Cyrus was my friend and he accepted me, so...

  Kalina : [laughs]  He didn't accept you! You're so pathetic! He used you!

  Arthur Kriticos : Shut up! Both of you. Cut him some slack, would you? What difference does it make?

  Kalina : [looks at Dennis, shocked]  You didn't tell him, did you?

  Arthur Kriticos : [panicked]  Oh God, what? What? Tell me what? What now?

  Kalina : About the fourth ghost.

  Dennis Rafkin : No, don't do this... I didn't tell him, don't do this!

  Kalina : He has a right to know!

  Arthur Kriticos : What about the fourth ghost?

  Kalina : St Luke's hospital. Six months ago.

  Arthur Kriticos : [slowly realizing]  You're saying... my wife's spirit is trapped in this house?

  Dennis Rafkin : I didn't know you... I didn't know her. I didn't know she had a husband...

  Arthur Kriticos : [attacks Dennis in a fit of rage, tackling him to the ground]  Why? In God's name, why? Why her?

  Dennis Rafkin : I don't know why! Cyrus handpicked them all, including your wife. I found out who you were, and God, I've been trying to help you!

  Arthur Kriticos : You call this help? She's right! This is all your goddamn fault!
