The Time of Their Lives

Mildred Dean:
[to Emily] Pardon me, but did I see you in "Rebecca?"

Horatio Prim:
[after seeing Emily for the first time] Zounds! What well did she come out of?

Melody Allen:
Here's a horse pistol. [Gives him the gun. Horatio turns to the horse behind him]

Horatio Prim:
Here, this is for you.

Mildred Dean:
[to June about Dr. Greenway] Last week he said that the rash I had wasn't an allergy, it was a guilt complex because I kicked your grandmother in the bustle when I was 2 years old.

Sheldon Gage:
What's the matter, Tom?

Cuthbert Greenway:
Bottles flying through the air, glasses filling themselves up, and somebody tooted into my stethoscope!

Melody Allen:
Horatio, be patient.

Horatio Prim:
Be patient? Melody, do you realize that my Nora has been waiting on me for 165 years? And a girl will only wait so long, and no longer!

Horatio Prim:
I don't want those people coming around here saying, [singing] Here lie the dirty traitors! Here lie the dirty traitors! [crying] Here lie the dirty traitors.

Horatio Prim:
Cuthbert, Melody, it's Cuthbert! He's still alive!

Melody Allen:
How can that be?

Horatio Prim:
I don't know, they say only the good die young.

Melody Allen:
[turning on the house's electric lights] Amazing... must've got it from Benjamin Franklin, he's always inventing things.

Melody Allen:
I need help.

Horatio Prim:
[With his head sticking out of a trunk] What do you think I need? Mistress Melody, would you help me get out of this overcoat?

Cuthbert Greenway:
Emily! When you came in here just now, did you or did you not kick me?

Emily:
Certainly not.

Cuthbert Greenway:
[getting worried] Oh!

Horatio Prim:
[he and Melody collide and are wearing each other's clothes] Odds bodkins, we're all mixed up! [they run into each other again and get back into their own clothes] Melody, don't ever do that again, I'm a boy!

June Prescott:
[hears machine gunfire] It must be the radio downstairs!

Mildred Dean:
Well it's not the American Revolution!

Telephone operator:
[Horatio picks up the phone receiver] Number please.

Horatio Prim:
Spooks! [runs over to Melody] That thing just talked to me!

Horatio Prim:
[Horatio and Nora are laying in the hay, Nora kisses him, he gasps and stutters] Nora!

Nora O'Leary:
Oh Horatio, do my kisses thrill you that much?

Horatio Prim:
I'm sitting on a pitchfork!

Melody Allen:
This is the first pleasure I've had in 165 years.

Emily:
[about the ghosts] I must go to them. [takes the tray of brandy with her]

Mildred Dean:
Wait a minute, better leave that with us. [takes the brandy] We need it more than the ghosts do.

Melody Allen:
[picks up a book] Tom Danbury's memoirs.

Horatio Prim:
His grandmas?

Melody Allen:
[Tom's voice is coming through Emily] Horatio, why can't I see him?

Horatio Prim:
You poor kid, you can't. You see, he's got his wings, and we're still grounded.

Cuthbert Greenway:
If he had a letter from George Washington, then he couldn't have been a traitor.

Horatio Prim:
[raps on the table] That's right!

Mildred Dean:
Now don't tell me we're going to stay up the rest of the night contacting George Washington!

Cuthbert Greenway:
[contacting the ghosts] Are you the spirits of the traitors in the well? [Horatio raps once for 'no', hits Cuthbert on the foot] OUCH!

Emily:
[Calling to the ghosts of the well] Analog dos mirabus spirae cuttar, nimbus hypnosticos lazzum bid-dar.

Mildred Dean:
There she goes again. It must be number one on her Hit Parade.

Emily:
[in a trance and speaking with the voice of Thomas Danbury] Melody, my beloved, it's Tom. I've come to help you.

June Prescott:
Oh, Shelly, what does it mean?

Sheldon Gage:
It-it must be Danbury speaking through Emily.

Mildred Dean:
Oh, fine. A ghost to ghost broadcast.
