Terry : When I was five, I watched my sister drown in a lake where we used to spend our summers. Right after, I started to suffer from these terrible night terrors. There was one particularly bad night. I woke up screaming my head off. My parents finally managed to get me back to sleep, and a couple of hours later, my mother came back to check on me and, uh, I was gone. They looked everywhere... in the attic, in the basement, all over the house. My mother was hysterical. She thought I'd been kidnapped, or I'd run off, or who knows what? Then my father went into the backyard and he heard a noise in the doghouse, of all places. He stooped down, looked in, and there I was, huddled in the back. Naturally, he reached in and... that's when I stabbed him in the eye with a kitchen knife. I was convinced he wasn't my father... that he was some kind of demon coming for me. I was absolutely sure of it. I haven't had that feeling since I was a kid, but I have it now... and so does Sam... and, we thought, you might too.

Sam : [Terry picks at a bandaged scab on her ankle] Look, Terry, stop picking at it or it's never gonna heal, okay?
Terry : It's not healing anyway, you know, I might as well get some satisfaction.
[pulls adhesive bandage off and pokes at it]
Terry : I think it's getting worse.
Terry : Maybe it's cancer.
