[Shelly has been hacked into several pieces]
Ash: We can't bury Shelly - S-She's a friend of ours.

Ash: You bastards, why are you torturing me like this? Why?

[Cheryl has become possessed]
Cheryl: Why have you disturbed our sleep; awakened us from our ancient slumber?
[shouts]
Cheryl: You will die! Like the others before you, one by one, we will take you.
[falls to the floor]

Voice of Evil Force: Join us...

Voice on Recorder: I know now that my wife has become host to a Kandarian demon. I fear that the only way to stop those possessed by the spirits of the book is through the act of... bodily dismemberment.

Cheryl: [possessed] Soon all of you will be like me... And then who will lock you up in a cellar?
[cackles]

Shelly: [Shelly's face is smoking and scarred] I don't know what I would have done if I had remained on those hot coals, burning my pretty flesh.

Ash: Aaaaaah!

Ash: Now the sun will be up in an hour or so, and we can all get out of here together. You, me, Linda, Shelly. Hmm... Well... not Shelly, she? We'll all be going home together. Wouldn't you like to be going home? I bet you'd like that, wouldn't you, Scott?

Ash: Shut up, Linda!

Scotty: I'm gonna break your face!

Cheryl: [Cheryl's possessed body's attacking Ash] I'm all right now, Ashley! Come unlock this chain and let me out! I'm all right now! It's your sister Cheryl!

Scotty: [everyone is looking into the cellar after it flies open] An animal? An animal? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Cheryl: [Mocking Scotty] You're not gonna leave me here, are you? Are ya, Ash?
[Begins to cackle]

Shelly: [about Cheryl] Why does she keep making those horrible noises?
Ash: I don't know!
