Marnie Piper : It's not polite to stare.
Dylan Piper : Polite? Let's talk about how legal it is to drive with no eyeballs!

Dylan Piper : Why are you so obsessed with Halloween? I mean, it's just like Mom says: It gives little kids dumb ideas about there being magic. Like that helps them prepare for life. Personally, give me a good nature documentary any day.
Marnie Piper : [gets nasty] Halloween is cool, nature boy. I mean, it's exciting, strange and ancient. Plus, Mom and Dad met on Halloween.
Dylan Piper : Shh! What are you trying to do? You know how talking about Dad always bums Mom out, I mean, why can't you pick some other holiday to get hung up on, like Arbor Day? Trees are important too, you know.

Luke : Hey, don't sell me too short there, Grammy, I'm something of a big cheese around here. Maybe I could show you around sometime. Buy you an ice cream. The Abominable Snowman has a little shop down the street.
Marnie Piper : You know, I was kind of hungry, but then... I smelled something stinky. It must have been the big cheese.

Gwen Cromwell Piper : Look, Marnie, I am sorry, but you are not going out on Halloween.
Marnie Piper : Why?

Gwen Cromwell Piper : I'm just trying to protect you.
Marnie Piper : Yeah, you're protecting us from being anything but a bunch of vegetables.
[sits down]
Marnie Piper : Hey look! I'm a potato, are you happy now? Maybe I'll put down some roots in the carpet.
[mockingly]

Marnie Piper : [to Gwen] I am so sick of this. I want to know why we can't be like other kids and go out on Halloween. My poor little sister should be out trick-or-treating. But look at her, You've kept her from a normal childhood, and it's turned her into a wall ornament!
Dylan Piper : I think it's obvious why Halloween is bad. That whole razor-blade-in-the-apple thing was an urban myth, of course, But then, all that candy causes cavities and gum disease, and those masks everybody wears have these weird kind of toxic fumes inside that make your arms go limp, and... and...

Dylan Piper : He's probably animatronic. Disneyland's full of stuff like that.
Marnie Piper : Yeah, well when Mr. Lincoln drives me to the store, we'll talk.
