COP AT THE HOUSE (Carmine Foresta): Jesus Christ, it gets worse all the time.
COP #2 AT THE HOUSE (Baxter Harris): Sure as hell doesn't get any better. All shot in their beds execution-style. Only the mother shot in the head.
COP AT THE HOUSE: What time do you make it? Gimmee a ballpark guess.
COP #2 AT THE HOUSE: 3, 3:15. And that's pretty close.

MRS. TOWNSEND (Elsa Raven): There's nothing like it on the market. Not at this price.

MRS. TOWNSEND: I like to refer to this as a fixer-upper, that can be fun.
GEORGE LUTZ (James Brolin) (after a staircase fixture comes off in his hand): We can start with this, huh?

GEORGE LUTZ: What do you think?
KATHY LUTZ (Margot Kidder): I love it. But, honey... Eighty thousand dollars? I mean, it might as well be eight hundred thousand dollars.

KATHY LUTZ: I just wish that... all those people hadn't died here. I mean... ugh! A guy kills his whole family. Doesn't that bother you?
GEORGE LUTZ: Well, sure, but... houses don't have memories.
KATHY LUTZ: I don't know.
GEORGE LUTZ: Well I do. The house wouldn't even be for sale, and if it was we couldn't afford it if we had, uh, tuna casseroles for a year.

FATHER DELANEY (Rod Steiger) (praying): God's peace in this house...
THE HOUSE: ...get ...out...

AMY LUTZ (Natasha Ryan): I wanna go home. Mommy, I wanna go home.

GEORGE LUTZ: You're one helluva watchdog, Harry.

KATHY LUTZ (waking up screaming): She was shot in the head!

JACKIE (Amy Wright) (trapped in closet): Amy! Amy open the door... Amy? For Christ's sake, open the door!

CATERER: Look, the deal was cash. You know? Cash.
GEORGE LUTZ: The cash was lost. You gotta take a check.
CATERER: I don't like checks. Let me tell you something about checks. Checks get cancelled. Checks bounce. Checks is not cash. Cash is cash.
GEORGE LUTZ: You listen to me, pal. I don't like lectures and I don't like being hassled in the men's room. I'm going to write you a check. Either that's good enough for you or you're going to eat your own goddamn food.

JACKIE: Why didn't you open the door? Why didn't you answer me?
KATHY LUTZ: Why didn't you unlock the door? You heard Jackie knocking!
AMY LUTZ: Jody wouldn't let me.

FATHER DELANEY: I happened to check into the murders. And I checked into the twenty year old boy who killed his parents, and his four brothers and sisters. And when he was at trial, he testified that he heard voices in the house. He heard voices in the house and the voices told him to DO it! Now, I was in the house and I heard the voices, too! And I also felt their presence in the house! I'm telling you, there was a presence in that house!
FATHER RYAN (Murray Hamilton): Half the killers in this country say the same thing. The voices. The voices told me to do it.
FATHER DELANEY: But I heard them, Father. I heard voices! Then explain this... Explain my hand, if you can do that. Go on! Explain how the car went out of control. Go on! Father Bolan was with me. You tell him.
FATHER BOLAN (Don Stroud): Well, the wheel locked and then the...
FATHER RYAN: "The wheel locked". How about a mechanical defect? I'd blame Detroit a lot faster than the Devil. It seems like every month there's some kind of recall.
FATHER DELANEY: Oh. I see. We're just gonna walk away from it. Well, has that become the fashion now? To cover up?
FATHER RYAN: Nothing to walk away from.
FATHER DELANEY: Well, I think it's nonsense.
FATHER RYAN: There's nothing to cover up.
FATHER DELANEY: I think it's bureaucratical bullshit! What do you think I am? I am not some pink-cheeked seminarian who doesn't know the difference between the supernatural and a bad clam! I am a trained psychotherapist! I went into that house, and what I saw there was real, what I felt there was real, and what I heard there was real! Now, gentleman, I have a family in my parish that's at great risk! They're facing real danger.
FATHER RYAN: Who the hell do you think you are? You think your secular education gives you the right to question the church?

KATHY LUTZ (sobbing): Why is it all going wrong? We have to do something.

KATHY LUTZ: What does Jody look like, huh? I mean, uh, is Jody big, or thin, or fat?
AMY LUTZ: She's nice. She tells me things too.
KATHY LUTZ: Yeah? Like what does she tell you?
AMY LUTZ: She tells me about the little boy who used to live in my room. He got hurt – and he died.
KATHY LUTZ: And what else does Jody tell you?
AMY LUTZ: She says that she wants me to live here forever and ever. So we can all play together.

BARTENDER (Hank Garrett): Jesus, I'm sorry. You look just like that kid. You know, he was sitting right in that seat where you are when he was arrested.

AMY LUTZ (singing): Jesus loves me, this I know / For the bible tells me so / Little ones to him belong / They are weak but he is strong / Yes, Jesus loves me / Yes, Jesus loves me / Yes, Jesus loves me / The bible...
KATHY LUTZ: Who are you singin' to, princess?
AMY LUTZ: You scared Jody.
KATHY LUTZ: Jody? There's no one here, see?
AMY LUTZ: You scared her. She went out the window.
KATHY LUTZ: She went out the window? Well, I'd better check and make sure she's not still there, huh?

KATHY LUTZ: What I saw was NOT a cat!
GEORGE LUTZ: It could have climbed up the ivy – I mean it's all over the side of the damn house.

CAROLYN (Helen Shaver) (in a possessed voice): Find the well... it's the passage... to hell! COVER IT!

GEORGE LUTZ (Blessing the house): Peace to this house and all who enter in it. Peace to this house and all who enter in it.
KATHY LUTZ (Blessing the house): Forgive our sins, and save us from all illness. Grant this through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

GEORGE LUTZ (addressing the presence in the house): What do you want from us? Goddamnit, this is MY house!

GEORGE LUTZ: I'm coming apart! Oh, mother of God, I'm coming apart!

KATHY LUTZ: Would you please leave that damn fire alone and listen to me?
GEORGE LUTZ: I'm not going anywhere. You're the one that wanted a house. This is it, so just shut up!
KATHY LUTZ: You... bastard!
(George slaps Kathy)
