The Canterville Ghost

The Canterville Ghost1986



Jennifer Canterville:
You, want to die?

Sir Simon de Canterville:
It's all I live for.

Jennifer Canterville:
[approaches to stand next to Sir Simon sitting in his chair] Maybe if you stopped haunting. You know, if you behaved?

Sir Simon de Canterville:
It's absurd to talk to me about behaving, quite absurd. I have to rattle my chains, and groan through keyholes, and walk about at night. It's my only reason for existing.

Jennifer Canterville:
Maybe if you prayed. Maybe if...

Sir Simon de Canterville:
[cuts her off] Maybe it's time you removed yourself from this apartment. You [looks down to observe Jenny's bunny slippers] and those two ridiculous creatures that you're standing in.

Jennifer Canterville:
Right. I'm going. [turns to walk away, then turns back] I just wanna say, that meeting you has been the MOST incredibly wonderful experience...

Sir Simon de Canterville:
GO!

Jennifer Canterville:
Oooohhh! [Jenny turns quickly and runs out of the chamber]

Sir Simon de Canterville:
[turns back to his desk to face Geoffrey] . We have an ally, Geoffrey. Once I frighten the stepmother away, the father will follow and then the child, and we shall soon be rid of the whole damn lot of them!
