The Cat and the Canary

Roger Crosby:
I have come to read the will of Cyrus West. Have any of the heirs arrived yet?

Mammy Pleasant:
No, Mr. Crosby.

Roger Crosby:
You must have been lonely here these twenty years, Mammy Pleasant.

Mammy Pleasant:
I don't need the living ones.

Aunt Susan Sillsby:
I'd like to see anybody get out of here.

Aunt Susan Sillsby:
I always look under the bed but I've never found anything yet.

Cecily Young:
You're not what Aunt Susan expected, but come out anyway.

Paul Jones:

Mammy Pleasant:
This is an evil omen! Something terrible will happen here tonight!

Harry Blythe:
Haven't you found anybody to put in your straightjacket yet?

The Guard:
No - but I will before I leave.

Ira Lazar:
Why are you so nervous tonight?

Annabelle West:
Well first, Mr. Crosby was murdered.
