- [bashes her father's head in with the marble ashtray, killing him instantly]
- Wilma Northrup: Now get out of my way, Henry, or I swear to God you'll be wearing your balls for earrings!
- Wilma Northrup: What are you doing creeping around down there? Where's Dex? What kind of a mess has he gotten himself into?
- Henry Northrup: Well, it's easier if I just show you, I think. Come on down.
- Wilma Northrup: [grabbing Charlie Gereson's smashed glasses] What's this?

- Wilma Northrup: So when Parker told me that I was out of line, I told him he oughta get laid. I mean, "Parker," I say. "If you just have your ashes hauled, you wouldn't have to spend all this time playing Emily Vanderbilt!" Or, Emily Van Buren. Whoever that etiquette crotch is!
- Upson Pratt: Talk to me. Who's there?
- White: Good evening there, Mr. Pratt. Got bugs again, huh, Mr. Pratt?
- Upson Pratt: Don't you talk to me like that, you hear?
- White: What way, Mr. Pratt?
- Upson Pratt: Like I was crazy!
- White: Oh, no, sir, Mr. Pratt, sir. I don't think you is crazy; not at all. I was just trying to run down in my mind who might have a 24-hour fumigating service. I might be able to get the Pirelli brothers out here by... shall we say 11:30?
- Upson Pratt: You might go far, White. I noticed that, in service jobs, people like yourself often do, people of color. Yes; 11:30 would be fine.
- White: Thanks, Mr. Pratt, sir. I'll call them just as soon as I finish with that shower on 23.
- Upson Pratt: Do it first! Do it now!
- White: Yes, sir. Right now.
- Upson Pratt: Reynolds? White? Talk to me!
- Lenora Castonmeyer: I just called to tell you what a monster you are, Mr. Pratt. And how I will rejoice when you're finally dead!

- Lenora Castonmeyer: Lenora Castonmeyer. I'm the wife of the man you murdered this afternoon.
- Upson Pratt: Mrs. Castonmeyer! How are you?
- Lenora Castonmeyer: I hope they keep hell hot for you! You son of a bitch! I hope they do. It wasn't enough for you drive him to his knees was it? No, you had to kill him as well! He came home... and his eyes...
- [Upson Pratt begins making violin motions]
- Lenora Castonmeyer: his eyes were so dead. I asked him what was wrong, what could be so bad to make his eyes look that way. And the only word he could say... was your name. Ten minutes later, I heard the shot
- [begins sobbing hysterically]
- Upson Pratt: Yes, George Gendron told me old Norman went out... with a bang.
- Lenora Castonmeyer: How many men have you destroyed? How many men have you killed you monster?
- Upson Pratt: Only the stupid ones. Only the ones who handed me a knife and then stretched out their throats. Only the ones who, if you'll pardon the expression, fucked up. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got this bug problem. So we'll have to defer your charming conversation for another time.
- Lenora Castonmeyer: I hope you die!
- Upson Pratt: By the way...
- Lenora Castonmeyer: I hope you get cancer in the worst place!
- Upson Pratt: Mrs. Castonmeyer...
- Lenora Castonmeyer: Syphilis! Leprosy! Scream in hell forever, you monster!
- Upson Pratt: Mrs. Katzenjammer... would you mind telling me who gave you my private number? I'd like to fire him.
- Lenora Castonmeyer: It was in my husbands address book, you son of a bitch!
- Upson Pratt: Well, I can't fire him can I?

- Professor Dexter Stanley: [calming down] ... I don't know... what they'd think...
- Charlie Gereson: They'd think you'd been off on a hell of a toot. No, they'd think we'd BOTH been off on a hell of a toot, and got to seeing Tasmanian devils instead of pink elephants.
- Charlie Gereson: [Charlie decides to go downstairs to investigate] I think I'll just go down and see how the land lays...
- Professor Dexter Stanley: [in a panic] It may be OUT!
- Charlie Gereson: [complacent] Oh, I uh - I doubt that.
- Professor Dexter Stanley: CHARLIE!
- Charlie Gereson: Be right back, Professor Stanley!
- Wilma Northrup: Oh, Henry - can't you do anything right?
- Henry Northrup: Huh?
- Wilma Northrup: 'Huh?' That's what I figured. 'HUH?' That's just what I'd expect from you! I told you half an hour ago to get one of those kids in the monkey suits to bring the car around!
- Henry Northrup: [sheepishly] Oh, I - I'm sorry...
- Wilma Northrup: Oh, Henry, you are such a little kid! I swear to God you are! I mean were would you be without me to take care of you?
- Richard Vickers: I'll shoot you dead!

- Becky: ...because we're already dead!
- Harry: We want to see you, Richard. We dug a hole for you, Richard...
- Becky: ...on the beach!
- Upson Pratt: Norman Castonmeyer's a dinosaur, he's too fucking blind to find his way into the nearest tar pit. Air pollution counts up to almost SEVEN, George! People are out there on the streets dying of Carbon Monoxide poisoning and they don't even know it!
- Richard Vickers: [after swatting away a crab near Harry's head] Found a friend, Harry? I'm just wild about Harry, and Harry's wild about me!

- Upson Pratt: [alarmed] Orlando? Florida?
- Carl Reynolds: Yes. The wife and I decided to take the kids to Disney World this year...
- Upson Pratt: I don't give a fuck if you decided to take the kids to Attica this year. There are still roaches in this place, Reynolds. I killed one not five minutes ago.
- Carl Reynolds: [stammering]
- Upson Pratt: Do you like your job, Reynolds?
- Carl Reynolds: Sir, I've spoken to Mr. White who's on desk tonight.
- Upson Pratt: Do you like your job, Reynolds?
- Carl Reynolds: Yes-yes, sir.
- Upson Pratt: I'm glad to hear it because I want to see White.
- Carl Reynolds: Mr. Pratt, it's almost quarter to ten...
- Upson Pratt: And if I don't see White and then the exterminators in the span of a half an hour you will have no job by midnight tonight. Do you understand me? Then next year you can take the wife and kids to Disney World on your fucking welfare check. Have you got that? Are we together on this?
- Harry: [Richard has jammed his foot in the doorway] That may work on TV, mister, but I can bench-press three hundred pounds. You better get your foot out of the way, or you're gonna lose half of it!
- Richard Vickers: Don't call me "mister". You know damn well who I am.

- Jordy's Dad: You ain't gonna get in that tub, are you? It's the water that it wants, Jordy. Don't you know that?
- Jordy: Daddy, it itches! This green stuff all over me is ten thousand times worse then poison ivy! It's driving me crazy! I gotta cool off!
- Jordy's Dad: If you get in that water, Jordy... you might as well sign your death warrant!
- Jordy: I'm a goner already, Daddy. Ain't I? I've got that stuff out of the meteor on me... and I'm gone. Ain't I?
- Cass Blaine: [referring to her husband] Where is he?
- Sylvia Grantham: My dear, I really can't say. No doubt he's at the grave, hobnobbing with your great aunt. Getting her side of the story.
- Cass Blaine: Well, I want him. And I want my dinner, I'm hungry.
- Richard Grantham: Well go get him, then.
- Cass Blaine: [demurely] You go Richard.
- Richard Grantham: He's your husband. I don't even like him.

- Bedelia Grantham: [visits her father's grave] Happy Father's Day. I didn't know I had it in me. I'm your daughter, right? You bootlegger! Killer! Murderer! Ungrateful bastard! You shouldn't have killed Peter, you know. He was a man, right? A real man! See? Everything I wanted, he wanted for me! You stupid bastard. You screwed it all up. You screwed up my mother; you screwed me up. You got me so mad... drove me crazy.
- [imitating Nathan Grantham]
- Bedelia Grantham: "I want my cake, Bedelia! You bitch!" You called me a bitch! Sylvia fixed it all! Ashtray back in place! Chair overturned! A fall, daddy, a bad fall. Nobody could catch us. Nobody. You taught me. You taught Sylvia. You taught us all.
- [accidentally spills her bottle of whiskey on the ground]
- Bedelia Grantham: So peaceful here...

- Stan (segments "Prologue": [pours some beer in a glass] You see that crap? All that horror crap? Things coming out of crates and eating people? Dead people coming back to life? People turning into weeds, for Christ's sake?
- Billy's Mother (segments "Prologue": Well, yes I did, but...
- Stan (segments "Prologue": [cuts her off] Well, do you want him reading that stuff?
- Billy's Mother (segments "Prologue": [sighs] Well, no but...
- Stan (segments "Prologue": All right, then! I took care of it. That's why God made fathers, babe. That's why God made fathers.
- Professor Dexter Stanley: Two people are dead, and I could be blamed. I know that's a terrible consideration to have at a time like this, but -
- [Henry hands him a drink and he swallows it one gulp]
- Henry Northrup: Good God! Last time I saw someone do that was in the movies!
- Professor Dexter Stanley: It could mean my ass, Henry, it wasn't me! It was that - that thing in the crate! And I don't even know what it was!
