Quotes

The Amityville Horror

Edit
  • The House: GET OUT!
  • George: [talking to the presence in the house] What do you want from us? Goddamnit, this is *MY* house!
  • [the wedding/food caterer confronts George with the bill in the men's room]
  • Caterer: Look, the deal was cash. You know? Cash.
  • George: [washing his face] The cash was lost. You gotta take a check.
  • Caterer: I don't like checks. Let me tell you something about checks. Checks get cancelled. Checks bounce. Checks is not cash. Cash is cash.
  • George: You listen to me, pal. I don't like lectures and I don't like being hassled in the men's room. I'm going to write you a check. Either that's good enough for you or you're going to eat your own goddamn food.
  • Kathy Lutz: She was shot in the head.
  • Father Delaney: God's peace in this house.
  • Father Delaney: I checked into the murders. And I checked into the twenty year old boy who killed his parents, and his four brothers and sisters. And when he was at trial, he testified that he heard voices in the house. He heard voices in the house and the voices told him to do it! Now, I was in the house and I heard the voices, too! And I also felt their presence in the house! I'm telling you, there was a presence in that house!
  • Father Ryan: Half the killers in this country say the same thing. The voices. The voices told me to do it.
  • Father Delaney: But I heard them, Father. I heard voices! Then explain this... Explain my hand, if you can do that. Go on! Explain how the car went out of control. Go on! Father Bolan was with me. You tell him.
  • Father Bolen: Well, the wheel locked and then the...
  • Father Ryan: "The wheel locked". How about a mechanical defect? I'd blame Detroit a lot faster than the Devil. It seems like every month there's some kind of recall.
  • Father Delaney: Oh. I see. We're just gonna walk away from it. Well, has that become the fashion now? To cover up?
  • Father Ryan: Nothing to walk away from.
  • Father Delaney: Well, I think it's nonsense.
  • Father Ryan: There's nothing to cover up.
  • Father Delaney: I think it's bureaucratical bullshit! What do you think I am? I am not some pink-cheeked seminarian who doesn't know the difference between the supernatural and a bad clam! I am a trained psychotherapist! I went into that house, and what I saw there was real, what I felt there was real, and what I heard there was real! Now, gentleman, I have a family in my parish that's at great risk! They're facing real danger.
  • Carolyn: [possessed, speaking in Father Delaney's voice] Find the well. It's the passage to Hell! COVER IT!
  • Kathy Lutz: [to George, after having an encounter with Jody] What I saw was not a cat!
  • Amy: Jody doesn't like George...
  • Jackie: Amy! Amy open the door... Amy? For Christ's sake, open the door!
  • [the closet light turns itself off]
  • Jackie: [shouts] Amy!
  • [first lines]
  • Cop at the House: Jesus Christ, it gets worse all the time.
  • Amy: I wanna go home. Mommy, I wanna go home.
  • Amy: [sings] Jesus loves me, this I know / For the bible tells me so / Little ones to him belong / They are weak but he is strong / Yes, Jesus loves me / Yes, Jesus loves me / Yes, Jesus loves me / The bible...
  • Kathy Lutz: Who are you singin' to, princess?
  • Amy: You scared Jody.
  • Kathy Lutz: Jody? There's no one here, see?
  • Amy: You scared her. She went out the window.
  • Kathy Lutz: She went out the window? Well, I'd better check and make sure she's not still there, huh?
  • Kathy Lutz: What's going on? Have you all gone mad? George!
  • George: Peace to this house and all who enter in it. Peace to this house and all who enter in it.
  • Kathy Lutz: Forgive our sins, and save us from all illness. Grant this through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
  • George: Peace to this house and all who enter in it.
  • Kathy Lutz: What, what's happening?
  • Kathy Lutz: Would you please leave that damn fire alone and listen to me?
  • George: I'm not going anywhere. You're the one that wanted a house. This is it, so just shut up!
  • Kathy Lutz: [with tears in her eyes] You... bastard!
  • [George smacks Kathy hard]
  • Sgt. Gionfriddo: Maybe I am just chasing shadows.
  • Kathy Lutz: I just wish that... all those people hadn't died here. I mean... ugh! A guy kills his whole family. Doesn't that bother you?
  • George: Well, sure, but... houses don't have memories.
  • Kathy Lutz: [George goes back to rescue the family dog] George! No! No!
  • George: [shouts] I'm coming apart! Oh, mother of God, I'm coming apart!
  • Mrs. Townsend: There's nothing like it on the market. Not at this price.
  • George: What do you think?
  • Kathy Lutz: I love it. But, honey... Eighty thousand dollars? It may as well be eight hundred thousand dollars.
  • Father Delaney: Oh, Lord!
  • [last lines]
  • Kathy Lutz: Thank God.
  • Bartender: Jesus, I'm sorry. You look just like that kid. You know, he was sitting right in that seat where you are when he was arrested.
  • Kathy Lutz: [sobs] Why is it all going wrong? We have to do something.
  • Policeman: Hi, Greg. What keeps you up?
  • Greg: Insomnia.
  • Father Delaney: Bolen...
  • Father Bolen: What is it, father?
  • Father Delaney: I can't see! I'm blind!
  • Kathy Lutz: [whispering] George, are you awake? George, isn't it strange that none of the bones were broken in Greg's hand? George, I need to talk to you!
  • George: The house is doing things, windows open by themselves, a room full of flies at the wrong time of the year. You saw what happened to Greg's hand. Last night the front door was ripped off its hinges, from the *inside*.
  • Amy: George yelled at me.
  • Kathy Lutz: [sharply] Well you should've opened the door!
  • Amy: [firmly] Jody doesn't like George.
  • Kathy Lutz: [after the front door is ripped off its hinges] What was that noise?
  • George: I don't know, stay here.
  • Kathy Lutz: Like hell!
  • Jackie: Look, Amy, your mom said to put you to bed early because you've been sick, don't smart off to me.
  • Amy: I'm not sick, I just didn't want meatloaf.
