"John, that will is no good. Your mother's still alive we can talk her into changing it." Louise Haloran
"You were always too greedy Louise." John Haloran
"I just don't like to see her exploiting you. Honey, she's leaving all her family's money to charity in the name of this mysterious Kathleen. It's ridiculous. Your mother is crazy." Louise Haloran
"You don't know anything about it." John Haloran
"John you're rowing too hard. Let me row." Louise Haloran
"You're concerned about me, Louise. Is it my heart? You're only a member of my family as long as you're my wife. If I die before mother, you're a stranger. Entitled... to nothing." (clutches chest). John Haloran
"Now you've done it. Where are the pills?" Louise Haloran
"...in ...coat." John Haloran
(gets bottle out of pocket) "It's empty you idiot!" Louise Haloran
"Row faster Louise. If I die, there's nothing in it for you. He he he." John Haloran.
(thinking to herself) "Finally rid of him. I know I can handle his mother without him around. She's half crazy anyway. I can get rid of her one way or the other. I'd better watch out for his brothers though. Especially the older one - Richard. ...I wonder if he'll rot underwater?" - Louise Haloran.
"What do you think of Ireland and Castle Haloran?" Billy Haloran
"Ireland's fine. Castle Haloran is a bit perplexing. A very strange place, really. Old and musty the kind of place you'd expect a ghost to like to wander around in. Kind of a haunted castle." Louise Haloran.
"Castle Haloran is haunted." Billy Haloran
"By your mother?" Louise Haloran
"By Kathleen." Billy Haloran
"She even had a poem: 'Three sons, each who would marry and go away; but little Kathleen would always stay.' It's engraved on her little tombstone now." Billy Haloran
"How did she die?"- Louise Haloran
"She drowned." Billy Haloran
"Well I find a statue reminds me of death." Lady Haloran.
"How very unusual, Lady Haloran. For a woman to have been married to a famous sculptor and yet feel that way." Louise Haloran.
"Perhaps I am superstitious. But I think it's important that only the immediate members of the family should give their thoughts to ...Kathleen." Lady Haloran.
"I saw you squirming when mother read the will. You gave John enough dirty looks to give him a heart attack." Richard Haloran
"Don't joke about that. You know he has a bad heart." Louise Haloran.
(To Louise) "Keep that microscope you've got built into your eye off of me." Richard Haloran
"It rained the day of the funeral. We stood around her grave under black umbrellas. And then we threw flowers under her little headstone. Mother looked at the flowers, and then she collapsed. Every year it's been the same. The umbrellas, flowers, and Mother's collapse." Billy Haloran
"But that was years ago. Why do you keep having the same ceremony over and over again?" Kane
"There's some things you don't understand. Not yet." Billy Haloran
"Consider your mind as a bird in your hand. When it's relaxed, it lies quiet and easy. But when it's tensed and frightened, it strains to leave you. Quite a simple principal, isn't it?" Dr. Justin Caleb
"You're engaged to treat my body, not my mind." Lady Haloran
"They're Kathleen's dolls" Richard Haloran
"I saw them float up from the bottom of the pond." Billy Haloran
"One of you has a brilliantly imaginative and sadistically effective mind I wish I could keep up with it." Dr. Justin Caleb
"She always loved the tiara. I wanted to put it in her coffin, but they wouldn't let me. I'll bring it to her playhouse..." Lady Haloran
"(singing): Fishy, fishy in the brook;
Daddy caught you on a hook" Billy Haloran
