- Madame Leota: Evil and darkness have fallen this night. But now, to survive, you must gain new sight.
- Jim: I must first gain new underwear.
- [Jim sees the Hitchhiking Ghosts peering into the carriage]
- Jim: Hey! Hey, what are you doing?
- Hitchhiking Ghost: Can they see us?
- Hitchhiking Ghost: No, of course not!
- Jim: Yes, I can see you. I'm looking at you right now in your stupid hat!
- Hitchhiking Ghost: Don't listen to him! He's lying!
- Jim: OK whatever. C'mon kids.
- Hitchhiking Ghost: I could swear he was looking right at me.
- Hitchhiking Ghost: He's psychic.
- Madame Leota: Dark spirits from the grave come forth. Lift us from the black. And show us, show us the way back.
- Jim: Dark spirits? Hey, no dark spirits! Don't you make no dark spirits come out!
- [last lines]
- Madame Leota: Angels in Heaven, together at last. The tale is well ended for those who have passed. Love endures all, no reason, no rhyme. It lasts forever and forever all the time.
- Megan: Mom, Leota won't shut up.
- Michael: Are we there yet?
- Megan: I'm getting pretty hungry.
- Michael: Can we stop for some pizza?
- Jim: Hey, how long before we get there, Sara?
- Sara Evers: Twenty minutes, tops.
- Jim: Nothing takes twenty minutes.
- Madame Leota: What are you doing?
- Jim: Hey, you leave me alone. Just get out of here and leave me alone.
- Madame Leota: Oh, I see. You're just going to sit there, feeling sorry for yourself.
- Jim: Tell me why not. This whole thing was my fault. We should've never been here in the first place. Supposed to be at the lake. We'd be sitting by a warm fire right now. And I made us come here. And now it's too late.
- Madame Leota: No. It's never too late.
- Jim: Hey, look, I tried to get in there, and I can't, all right? I tried! I failed!
- Madame Leota: You try. You fail. You try. You fail. But the only true failure is when you stop trying.
- Jim: What do you want me to do? Huh?
- Madame Leota: Try again.
- [Cut to Jim, behind the wheel of his car, preparing to plough it through the Mansion window]
- [Jim has braved zombies to get a key that Leota said would solve everything]
- Jim: Alright, I got the key. Now what?
- Madame Leota: Now you must find the trunk.
- Jim: Trunk?
- Madame Leota: Yes, trunk.
- Jim: Not door?
- Madame Leota: No, not door. Trunk.
- Jim: All you said I had to do was find this key. I got the key, and now you're telling me something about a trunk. "The key is the answer to all" remember?
- Madame Leota: Look, I don't make the rules, OK? I just work here.
- Master Gracey: I'm warning you, sir.
- [pulls out his sword]
- Master Gracey: Step away.
- Jim: Man, don't think just because you pull out your sword I'm going to let you marry my wife.
- Master Gracey: My patience is wearing thin.
- [Sara has denied her identity as Elizabeth]
- Master Gracey: [On the verge of tears] She doesn't remember! It can't be her!
- Ramsley: It is her, sir. The gypsy woman prophesized her return and now the time has come. You'd had best get ready.
- Master Gracey: But she doesn't remember!
- Ramsley: In time she will, sir. I assure you, she will.
- [Gracey and Sara enter the ballroom]
- Master Gracey: This house has waited so long to have its shrouds of darkness lifted. And tonight, for the first time in... oh, so many years, I believe it may be possible that the story would finally end differently. Sara, do you believe that love is above second chances? About forgiveness?
- Sara Evers: Yes, I do.
- Master Gracey: [confused] Don't you remember?
- Sara Evers: Remember? Mr. Gracey, are you all right?
- Master Gracey: Don't you recognize me at all?
- Sara Evers: [confused] Mr. Gracey...
- Master Gracey: I thought certainly bringing you back to Gracey Manor would help you remember!
- Sara Evers: Remember what, Mr. Gracey? You're scaring me!
- [During the following line, ghostly masquerade dancers appear in the room and dance]
- Master Gracey: [grabbing Sara's wrists] Where it happened! Where we spent our last moments together! Where we danced together for the last time before you... BEFORE YOU KILLED YOURSELF! But now you've returned to me and at long last, we can be together! Why do you not remember? You are my world, my life! And I have loved you in death as I did in life!
- Sara Evers: [breaking free of Gracey's grip] Let me go!
- [Runs out of the ballroom]
- Master Gracey: WHY DO YOU NOT REMEMBER?
- [while running, Sara encounters Gracey near the stairs and runs up them]
- Master Gracey: You are her! You are Elizabeth! You must be!
- [Sara encounters Gracey at the top of the stairs and runs to the left]
- Master Gracey: Can you not sense it? Search your heart! I am your one true love! And now we can finally be together, don't you understand?
- Master Gracey: [Sara runs down the hall with Gracey's voice behind her] Elizabeth, you must listen to me!
- Sara Evers: I'm not Elizabeth!
- Master Gracey: [materializing after Sara passes, on the verge of tears] Please! I implore you!
- Sara Evers: Leave me alone! Get away from me!
- [slams bedroom door]
- Jim: Hey, honey, you know they have dead people in the backyard.
- Sara Evers: Well, some people have swimming pools, others have private cemeteries. It can happen.
- [Master Gracey and Sara are in the attic. Gracey shows Sara Elizabeth's wedding dress]
- Master Gracey: This was to have been her wedding dress.
- Sara Evers: Oh, it's lovely!
- Master Gracey: It would have been lovelier still if she'd ever had the chance to wear it. Now it serves only as a dark reminder of what could have been.
- Sara Evers: To love someone so much and then to lose them so suddenly. I can't imagine how awful that must be.
- Master Gracey: If you truly love someone, they never leave. They remain in your heart forever.
- Madame Leota: Whom do you seek?
- Jim: I am seeking a way outta here.
- Madame Leota: Then you must look within.
- Jim: I don't wanna look within, I wanna look without! Are you deaf?
- Jim: I gotta help my wife. She'll be...
- Singing Busts: [singing] Comin' round the mountain when she comes...
- [during the sham wedding ceremony]
- Master Gracey: [extending his hand to Sara] Elizabeth?
- [Sara glances at Ramsley, remembers he is holding Michael and Megan captive, and plays her part]
- Sara Evers: [takes Gracey's hand] Yes, my love.
- Master Gracey: [Before departing for Heaven with Elizabeth] Can you ever forgive me?
- Jim: What's to forgive? You loved her.
- Master Gracey: [Hands Jim a rolled up document] Here. Take this.
- Jim: What is it?
- Master Gracey: The deed to the house. It's yours. Do with it what you will. Sell it, keep it. Do whatever makes you and your family happy.
- Madame Leota: Hurry back, hurry back. Be sure to bring your death certificate. If you decided to join us, make your final arragnemnets now; we've been dying to have you
- [last lines]
- Mrs. Coleman: Every house we look at you find something to pick at.
- Mr. Coleman: [sighs] l just know what l like.
- Mrs. Coleman: Would you like a divorce? 'Cause l'll bring it.
- Jim: [just escaped from the haunted musical instruments that were chasing him and runs into Michael, Megan, Ezra and Emma] Michael! Megan, you okay?
- Megan: We're fine, thanks.
- Jim: Alright, get your things. Let's get out of here. Let's go.
- Megan: But dad, we have a problem.
- Jim: What? Because of the rain? Look, we're gonna get a little wet. Let's just find your mom and let's get out of here. Let's go!
- Ezra: I'm afraid that's not possible. She can't leave!
- Jim: And why not?
- [Ezra apparates from upstairs, right behind Jim, startling him]
- Ezra: Because she can't! If l could tell you, l would. But l can't, so l won't, okay?
- Jim: Hey, how'd you... Hey, look. Come on. Daddy's having more hallucinations. Let's go right now. Let's go.
- Megan: They're ghosts, Dad.
- Jim: They're not ghosts. We're just having hallucinations from that dinner that we ate. It was that chicken. It didn't taste right.
- [Emma apparates right in from of Jim from the top of the stairs, startling him again]
- Emma: Hey! It's not the chicken!
- Jim: All right! It's not the chicken! It's not the chicken. But we're still getting out of here.
- Megan: But dad, we have to help them.
- Jim: Hey, you can't help the dead, honey. They're beyond help. That's the nature of being dead.
- Ezra: The man's talking sense. Everyone should just keep their noses in their own business.
- Megan: But dad, we have to help them break the curse.
- Jim: Why is everybody talking about a curse? Wait a minute, have you been talking to that crazy green gypsy in the giant paperweight?
- Emma: [to Ezra] Gypsy! He found the gypsy! We've gotta go back to see her.
- [Jim panics]
- Jim: No back! I'm not going back!
- Megan: But, Dad!
- Jim: Hey, they had me floating all around the room!
- Megan: Dad!
- Jim: [pantomimes what he just went through as he's saying it] Hey, l was strapped to a chair, floating around the room with a marching band chasing me! I'm not going back anywhere! Forget it, Casper!
