American Horror Story, Season 1: Murder House

Constance Langdon:
Used to be no one was from here. People came here to escape their pasts. find a plot of land that not even a red Indian had set foot on and make a new life for yourself.

Joe Escandarian:
Give me a number. I want history, I'll talk to Gene Autry.

Constance Langdon:
But now there are no more virgin plots. We live on top of each other. That's California now... and that's the world. there is no more space, and yet it it's human nature to want to claim your own turf. So build away, we do. every time you put up one of these... monstrous temples to the gods of travertine, you're building on top of someone else's life.

Joe Escandarian:
I'm a developer. I improved on the past. I build a new future.

Constance Langdon:
You should show some respect. You're not an archaeologist. You should stop unearthing while you're ahead. It only brings a haunting. We have a responsibility as caretakers to the old lands... to show some respect.
