THIR13EN GHOSTS [2001]

Misery Loves Company

[Dennis Rafkin]: There are ghosts in the basement! 

[Maggie]: This basement? 

[Dennis Rafkin]: Of course this basement! 

What is it with you people? 

If it was the basement next door I wouldn't give a shit, would I?

[Dennis Rafkin]: I know this is gonna sound completely whacked, all right? 

But just - just stay with me. 

I used to hunt displaced spiritual energies with your uncle. 

[Arthur Kriticos]: I'm sorry?

[Dennis Rafkin]: Uhh, P.K. agents. Revenants. 

Uh, uh, uh - Like wraiths. 

Wraiths? Do you have any idea what I'm talking about?

[Arthus Kriticos, chuckling nervously and shaking his head 'no']: Uhh... 

[Dennis Rafkin]: That's okay. That's okay, I - I'll do this the easy way. 

Ghosts, Arthur. I used to - I used to hunt ghosts with your uncle Cyrus. 

[Arthur Kriticos, after a pause]: Goats? 

[Dennis Rafkin]: GHOSTS! Ghosts, goddammit! Listen to me!

[Dennis Rafkin]: Oh. Oh, boy. 

[Maggie]: What? 

[Dennis Rafkin]: Uh, that's the symbol of The Jackal. 

[Maggie]: What's The Jackal? 

[Dennis Rafkin]: The Jackal is the Charlie Manson of ghosts. 

And if The Jackal's out, screw the kid! 

We gotta get out of this basement...!

I wanna play. 

[Billy Michaels, the First Born Son]

Why did you leave me? Why did you leave me? 

[Royce Clayton, the Torn Prince]

[Kalina Oretzia]: Who are you to play God?

[Cyrus Kriticos]: Playing is for children.
