Quotes
-
Taylor : You feel like a leaf at the mercy of the wind, don't you?
Steve Freeling : Yeah, that's right. That's me.
Taylor : Since the day you were born one way or another, someone has been doing something to you.
Steve Freeling : No I... I don't think that's true.
Taylor : And they've been doing something to you against your will, and now you're feeling helpless, like a leaf in the wind.
Steve Freeling : Taylor, it would help me out a lot if you just say what's on your mind so I can understand you.
Taylor : You understand me. No matter how much you like to feel sorry for yourself, you have to change that. I'm a warrior. A warrior would rather be defeated and die, than act against his nature. That is the path you have chosen to take, whether you know it or not. You should assume full responsibility.
Steve Freeling : Responsibility for what?
Taylor : Responsibility for everything. Everything in your world.
-
Taylor : Children have fought wars, have built nations. They are strong and have courage, don't treat them any less THAN that because they're young.
-
Steve Freeling : Are you in cahoots with the lady in there?
Taylor : I cahoot with no one.
-
Steve Freeling : [Taylor is standing in the front door] Who the hell are you?
Taylor : Name's Taylor.
Steve Freeling : Great, good name!
[to his family]
Steve Freeling : Come on, let's go!
Taylor : Tangina Barrons sent me.
Steve Freeling : Oh yeah? Well say hello to the magic munchkin for us, will you?
-
Taylor : Your car?
Steve Freeling : [sees smoke coming from the engine] Yeah?
Taylor : Very angry.
Steve Freeling : Uh huh.
Taylor : I'll fix it.
Steve Freeling : Make it happy?
Taylor : Yes.
Steve Freeling : OK.
-
Taylor : [talking about Robbie] He wants to be a man.
Diane : Well, there are a lot of ways to be a man. I'm not sure wearing claw marks and warpaint is one of them.
Taylor : How would you know?
Diane : What?
Taylor : You're not a man, are you?
Diane : OK, I'm not a man. But you're not a mother. It is my job to do everything I can to make my children part of a normal world. A world of schools and friends and lovers and families of they're own someday.
Taylor : Well, that's good.
Diane : Right, I know. And I hope that they'll learn to forget all of this soon.
Taylor : You can't learn by forgetting.
Diane : Well, what would you have me do? I mean they're just children for God's sake.
Taylor : Children have fought wars. They have built nations. They are strong and have courage. Don't treat them any less than that because they're young.

Steve Freeling : [to Taylor] You can stay in the house, OK. You can have my aura, my spirits, the ghosts, the whole deal, the whole casaba. But keep your hands off my car, OK. Hands off! Its worse than it was before.
Taylor : Car's still angry, huh?
Steve Freeling : Angry? That car is pissed!
-
Taylor : He's still here. He feels she belongs to him.
Diane : But why?
Taylor : I'm not sure, but he's used to getting what he wants.
Steve Freeling : Taylor, who is he? What is he?
Taylor : He's a man filled with the demon, lost in a dimension that surrounds our world. This entity believes that his world and ours are the same.
Diane : But why doesn't he know he's dead?
Taylor : Because he isn't.
Steve Freeling : But how can that be?
Taylor : Nothing really dies, like when a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. Death only transforms us into another state of being. This man was evil, and his soul remains evil, because he chooses not to see the light, and pass on to another state of consciousness.
Steve Freeling : How are we gonna beat this thing?
Taylor : Until we learn how to defeat him, we do not let him win.
Steve Freeling : [sarcastically] That's a hell of a plan! That's a lot of crap!
Diane : I suppose you have a plan of your own?
Steve Freeling : THAT'S A LOT OF CRAP!
Taylor : Listen, don't come apart now. This spirit is very clever. He knows your strength is your love, and he hates you for that. He's been trying to pull this family apart, and he will continue to try. If he succeeds, he will possess Carol-Anne... and destroy your spirit.

Taylor : You must take your family back to Cuesta Verde.
Steve Freeling : What?
Taylor : The evil spirit that is stalking you. It knows who you are. Where you are. How to find you. What your weaknesses are. Your best bet would be to confront him, surprise him on his own ground.
Steve Freeling : But Taylor, what about Diane and the kids?
Taylor : They are your power, and you are they'res.
Steve Freeling : Are things desperate Taylor?
Taylor : What you see as desperate, I see as inevitable.
