Quotes 

• Eloise Davis : [in the kitchen making a sandwich, Eloise hears a tapping sound]  Hmm.

  [continues to make her sandwich, hears a distinct tapping noise three times] 

  Eloise Davis : Is someone tap, tap, tapping at my window?

  [hears the tapping three times again, opens the kitchen door and steps out. The ghost of Widow Marian appears] 

  Eloise Davis : Are you a, g... ghost?

  Widow Marian : Yes.

  Eloise Davis : Oh, dear. Well, would you like to come in, or, uh, have a cup of coffee?

  [Window Marion begins to sob] 

  Eloise Davis : Is it something about coffee, dear? Something too painful for ghosts? About coffee?

  Widow Marian : I cannot enter your home.

  Eloise Davis : Well, yes you can, you certaintly can, if I invite you.

  Widow Marian : Mr. Boogedy prevented me!

  Eloise Davis : He prevented you?

  [voice goes into a squeak] 

  Eloise Davis : How dareth he!

  Widow Marian : He has kept me from my son, for over three-hundred years!

  [recognizes the ghost] 

  Widow Marian : You're Widow Marian!

  Eloise Davis : Yes!

  Eloise Davis : Oh, well this *is* a pleasure! Because the children were just telling us all about you! Oh, come, please, you must come in, you must!

  Eloise Davis : You don't understand! As long as Mr. Boogedy dwells within, the magic that keepets him there, also keepets me out! And apart from my Jonathan!

  [starts to sob again] 

  Widow Marian : Ooooohhhhh.

• Widow Marian : [the Davis family has exorcised Mr. Boogedy by sucking his cloak into the vaccum cleaner. We see two orbs, a red and blue one, float in and form the ghosts of Widow Marian and Jonathan. Jonathan and Widow Marian embrace]  Jonathan!

  Jonathan : Mama!

  Widow Marian : Oh, thank you! Thank you so much! R.E.?

  [she reaches to R.E. to embrace him] 

  R.E. Davis : [R.E. goes over to Widow Marian and hugs her] 

  Widow Marian : You were very brave, R.E.

  Jonathan : I knew you could do it! Achoo!

  Carleton Davis : Here you go, son.

  [hands Jonathan a tissue, which upon Jonathan's touch, turns into a cloth napkin] 

  Jonathan : Thank you. Achoo!

  [blows his nose into the napkin. Mother and son step back, revert into grey orbs and float out the window]
