- Buck Zorba: Elaine?
- Elaine Zacharides: Yes, Buck?
- Buck Zorba: You really are a witch, aren't you?
- Elaine Zacharides: Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies.
- Buck Zorba: [making a birthday wish] I wish we owned our own house, and all our furniture that nobody could take away.
- [wind blows through the windows and blows out the candles, somebody knocks at the door]
- Buck Zorba: [to Ben] There's a witch in the house. Ring the bell; she'll answer.
- [Ben rings the bell, Medea answers]
- Buck Zorba: What'd you do that for? You should've let the Witch answer it.
- Medea Zorba: You need to stop calling her that or she'll cut your tongue out.
- Buck Zorba: That was Emilio.
- Cyrus Zorba: Who?
- Buck Zorba: Emilio! He killed his wife, his mother-in-law and his sister-in-law with a meat cleaver. Whack! Whack! Whack! You'd better stand over there
- [points to wall]
- Buck Zorba: .
- Cyrus Zorba: Why?
- Buck Zorba: He doesn't mess up the kitchen often, but when he does, WOW!
- [meat cleaver hits the wall]
- Buck Zorba: . Now Emilio is through.
- Hilda Zorba: Now *I'm* through
- [takes off apron and storms out of the kitchen]
- Hilda Zorba: .
- Buck Zorba: [as Ben walks in the door] Ben, I found it!
- [grabs the railing and shakes it to reveal the hidden area in the stairs]
- Ben Rush: Good boy! Have you told anyone else about this?
- Buck Zorba: Course not! Let's tell them now.
- [Runs towards the dining room; Ben grabs his arm stopping him]
- Buck Zorba: Ow! You're hurting!
- Ben Rush: Sorry, Buck. We can't tell them yet.
- Buck Zorba: But we're moving out tomorrow!
- Hilda Zorba: The moving men are here again.
- Cyrus Zorba: They won't wait?
- Hilda Zorba: Nope.
- Cyrus Zorba: Not till tomorrow?
- Hilda Zorba: Nope.
- [Cyrus learns he's inherited an old rundown mansion from his uncle]
- Ben Rush: Dr. Zorba must have been quite wealthy at one time. Apparently, he spent it all on his experiments.
- Cyrus Zorba: I seem to remember he was fooling around with the occult - spirits from the other world.
- Ben Rush: Ghosts. Dr. Zorba collected ghosts from all over the world. You inherit them, too.
- Cyrus Zorba: [chuckling] Come on.
- Ben Rush: [deadly serious] They come with the house.
- Van Allen: Oh Cy, where are you?
- Cyrus Zorba: Explaining how man survived the Pleistocene age.
- Van Allen: How did he? And why?
- Cyrus Zorba: All you have to do is find Elaine Zacharides.
- Van Allen: I don't have to find her. She's the housekeeper.
- Buck Zorba: [after his father receives a telegram telling him to report to an attorney's office] You haven't done anything you could be arrested for, have you daddy?
- Cyrus Zorba: No; at least not lately.
- Ben Rush: Dr. Zorba must have been quite wealthy, at one time. Apparently, he spent it all on his experiments.
- Cyrus Zorba: I seem to remember he was fooling around with the occult. Uh, spirits from the other world.
- Ben Rush: Ghosts. Dr. Zorba collected ghosts from all over the world. You inherit them, too. They go with the house.
- Cyrus Zorba: [laughing] Oh, come on!
- Ben Rush: They go with the house.
- Medea Zorba: [Ben has just brought Medea home] That was a wonderful evening, Ben, thanks. How about some coffee before you go?
- Ben Rush: No, thanks. Not tonight, I sure wish you and your family were staying somewhere else. This place gives me the creeps.
- Medea Zorba: Oh, don't start with that again.
- Ben Rush: Well, I worry about you, Medea. Just for me will you try to be a little careful?
- Medea Zorba: For you, I'll pull the covers over my head tonight.
- Ben Rush: [smiling] See you tomorrow?
- Medea Zorba: I hope so. Good night, Ben.
- Ben Rush: Good night.
