- [Ian's dreams of teaching at Oxford are dashed when a spirit inhabits his mother's body]
- Mason: You know, dear lady, studying mythology is like studying literature - it's all fiction. The difference is mythology is a lot more fun.
- Mum Matheson: What's such damned fun about it?
- Dr. Ian Matheson: I'm tired. Are you tired? I think we're all tired. Bedtime!
- Mum Matheson: What if you were a ghost? What if you were pursued by an evil spirit that wanted to kill your soul? What if there was no way to escape? Would be so much damned fun, then?
- Dr. Ian Matheson: Goodbye, Oxford.
- Mum Matheson: I'm not your mother.
- Dr. Ian Matheson: That is no big secret.
- Mum Matheson: It isn't?
- Dr. Ian Matheson: It was obvious to everyone you were not yourself tonight.
- Mum Matheson: Damned right! I'm a ghost. I'm Sarah Bloom.
- Dr. Ian Matheson: And I'm Sean Connery.
- Mum Matheson: And Randi Wallace is a werewolf! Yes! That pretty young thing is a bloodthirsty raging beast. Would your sweet little mother know that? Would she? Would she!
- Randi Wallace: Who would get the blame for that if we called the police?
- Dr. Ian Matheson: Surely we can explain.
- Randi Wallace: What? That it wasn't your father who killed him, but it was, but it wasn't because he was possessed by a ghost at the time?
