gone flying. @19nocturne.bsky.social see ya there!
WILLY
You're only here because I'm curious what would make a mortal... collaborate with such a filthy maggot as Beelzebud.
RENA
You make it sound a lot more fun than it is.

LEM
You gotta be the one in the dress? Yer voice might could pass.
FANSHAW
Oh... [dropping voice low] I often was the lead. I even played Romeo. Of course, someone always had to put on the dress. Boys and girls do not attend school together - not at my sort of school.

TIMMY
Did you think all the stuff on the radio was true?
JACK
Why would it not be true? Explain.
TIMMY
It's ... fun. Like make believe. You mean you don't have stories where you come from?
JACK
I don't know where I come from. My memories begin when you assembled me.

KLAUS We are coming out.
GARTH [strangled] Why I oughtta....!
KLAUS Shh! This knife says you are the quiet one. Ladies, move. Unless you want your hero to have a very close shave.
GRACE Go on.
GARTH Civilized? Urk!
GRACE [low and intense] Do not anger the man with the knife!

SIMON
I must rattle chains & walk about at night. It is my only reason for existing.
VIRGINIA
That is no reason at all.
SIMON
Why else be here?
VIRGINIA
You killed your wife.
SIMON
My wife was very plain, never had my ruffs properly starched, and knew nothing about cookery.

JULIE
She wouldn't sleep with him, and he believes she'd jump greasy Iachamo? So he gets a bit extreme & sends a letter to Alfred--
JOEL
Alfred?
JULIE
The servant. Just go with it. So he says that Alfred should kill Imogen for her infidelity.
JOEL
That is a bit extreme.

OLD FRED
You're certain sure in the wrong place.
CRAIG
You don't even know what I'm here for.
OLD FRED
Either you're here for ghosts and get scared by a door, and you're in the wrong place... or you're not - and this ain't where you want to be.
--
HYDE
There will probably be police here soon. We may want to go.
ALICE
We're the ones who are finished. You still have your little samples and stuff to take. Go get disgusting. Have fun.
HYDE
[hiding anger] As you say. I'll even explain to the police what happened here.
--
MRS
Oh, Debbie, poor Mr. Roderick's time has come.
DEBRA
I'll bring him back when he's ready to join the family.
MRS
Must rush - Roderick's about to have kittens!
DOOR SHUTS
DOUGIE
Didn't... Roderick die?
DEBRA
All her cats are Roderick. Saves changing the names on the bowls.

HIRAM
Hold it right there.
SIMON
[off - moaning again, suppressed fury]
HIRAM
Now where did I - Aha!
RUMMAGING, FOOTSTEPS
HIRAM
My dear sir, I really must insist on your oiling those chains, and have brought for that purpose a bottle of Tammany Rising Sun Lubricator.
--
MAYOR
Is everything prepared?
ELDER1
Oh, yes. Last night I slipped a sleeping powder into the knight's ale.
ELDER2
no, I did!
ELDER3
um, I also...
MAYOR
Oh no! We'd best look in and see that he's still breathing--
ELDER2
Even I can hear that snoring!
MAYOR
Well, yes, but--
--
HARRY Horrible Murder! Wealthy man found dead!
GERALD
Give me one, Harry.
HARRY Oh! Y'r pardon, sir. Din't see you!
GERALD
Don't fret. Here.
SOUND COIN
HARRY I can't change that.
GERALD
[wry] Do I ever ask for change?
HARRY Nah, but it makes me look honest, it do.

MATILDA
Where’s my sister?
INFERNIQUE
I tried to triangulate on her ... NOTHING.
MATILDA
Triangulate?
INFERNIQUE
Deal with demons, you get a trace on you. Is she dead?
MATILDA
No?
INFERNIQUE
Then she’s beyond this realm.
MATILDA
Just going to faint now. Hope you don’t mind.
--
GUARD
Here now? What's all this?
JANE
Please, kind sir, we took a turn somewheres, and got ourselves lost. Could you see your way to showing us back to the exhibit?
ANNIE
My fault, sir. I was all overcome like and we were trying to find some air.
GUARD
You ladies follow me.
--
GRETAL
Bet you didn't learn that from anyone in Iambic Pentameter.
VIC
Pattycakes are simple. Most don't lie, and if they do, they don't do it well.
GRETAL
It's those big round faces. Not much to hide behind.
VIC
They just don't see the point. Simple doesn’t mean stupid.
--
MORTE
I don't get it.
MAGGIE
You need to loosen the f*ck up. [evil chuckle] Here. Have a "brownie".
MORTE
Ooh. Chocolate is my weakness.
RATTLE OF PLASTIC
MAGGIE
Death and chocolate - imagine that. How about you, Gary Glitter?
SATAN
Well, if you're offering.
