• George : The house is doing things, windows open by themselves, a room full of flies at the wrong time of the year. You saw what happened to Greg's hand. Last night the front door was ripped off its hinges, from the *inside*.

• Kathy Lutz : [after the front door is ripped off its hinges]  What was that noise?

  George : I don't know, stay here.

  Kathy Lutz : Like hell!
