Memorable quotes for
The Frighteners (1996)

advertisement
Judge: When a man's jawbone drops off it's time to reassess the situation.

Dammers: My body is a roadmap of pain.

Frank Bannister: I gotta have an out-of-body-experience, and I gotta have it RIGHT NOW!

Frank Bannister: You are SUCH an asshole.
Milton Dammers: I'm an asshole... with an Uzi!

Dammers: Sheriff! You are violating my territorial bubble.

[an Elvis statuette flies around the room during a Poltergeist appearance]
Ray Lynskey: He's alive!

Judge: Give it up, Frank! Death ain't no way to make a living!

Sergeant Hiles: What in the hell are you doing in my graveyard? You have been told to stay away! Sound off like you've got a pair!
Frank Bannister: Yeah, well, it's a public place, Hiles.
Sergeant Hiles: I do not like you! You cannot bring your spooks here without my permission! Disappear, scumbag!

Frank Bannister: Catch you later, Hiles.
Sergeant Hiles: Hey - my tour of duty runs another 85 years! There's a piece of dirt up here with your name on it, Bannister! I'm waitin' for you, you little maggot!

Cyrus: You know if I wanted to get shot at everyday, I'd move my black ass to Los Angeles!

[about to have sex with a mummy]
Judge: There's a reason they call me the "hanging judge".

Judge: [after having sex with a mummy] I like it when they lie still like that.

Frank Bannister: [as he's leaving his basement via the stairs] Start pulling your weight, guys or you're going back to the cemetery.
Cyrus: Yeah, well you can pull this, Frank.
[grabs crotch]
Cyrus: I'm 'bout to go like Jesse on you're ass. I'm goin' to find me some other black ghosts and then organize a march. The African American Apparition Coalition. The A-double AC
[shouting]
Cyrus: And I'm gonna tell you something, Frank. It ain't nuthin worse than a bunch of pissed off brothers that's already dead.

[last lines]
Dr. Lucy Lynskey: Boy that Dammers guy, he sure looks pissed.
Frank Bannister: [without realizing] Yeah.
[the penny suddenly drops and Frank looks back in surprise at Lucy]
Dr. Lucy Lynskey: Well sometimes Frank, you see when you go through a traumatic experience, it kind of alters your perception.

Frank Bannister: [to Stuart and Cyrus] You know flies stick to you guys like shit to a blanket?

Johnny Charles Bartlett: [Johnny, violently upset, interrupting his girlfriend, counterpart of this serial-killer couple] Shut up! That Russian cannibal creep is telling everyone he did 50 plus. That reflects badly on both of us, Patty. This record should be held by an American.

Cyrus: Ah, the old express train to Hell. No lines, no waiting!

Patricia Ann Bradley: I'm in the mood for a little vivisection.

Magda Rees-Jones: He's threatening to kill me!

Ray Lynskey: [Frank has smashed one of his lawn gnomes] No! Not Budzo!

Dammers: [accusing Frank of killing] But what about the guy in the toilet? What did *he* do? Piss on your Hush Puppies?

Sergeant Hiles: Ho-lee Jesus! Frank Bannister!

Frank Bannister: I thought guys like you rotted in Hell.
Johnny Charles Bartlett: I got out.

Sergeant Hiles: I am not one of your shitty little emanations, Bannister!

Cyrus: [complaining about his outfit] I look like Link from the "Mod Squad"!
