- Carolyn Muir: [helping Paul to his feet] Careful. Martha just waxed the floors and they're very slippery.
- Paul Wilkie: I guess she must have waxed the rugs, too.
- Paul Wilkie: Wait! Wait. Maybe Captain Gregg is working through the boy. He could be a medium.
- Paul Wilkie: [to Jonathan] Son, are you a medium?
- Jonathan Muir: I think I'm a small.
- Paul Wilkie: Did you know that Gull Cottage is an absolute find?
- Martha Grant: I didn't even know it was lost.
- Jonathan Muir: [finding an unconscious man in their home] I bet Captain Gregg caught him.
- Carolyn Muir: Oh, the poor thing's delirious.
- Martha Grant: Oh, he didn't say that. Jonathan did.
- Martha Grant: How do you take your coffee?
- Paul Wilkie: Uh, black. With sugar.
- Martha Grant: That the way they serve it in Sing Sing?
- Paul Wilkie: I can assure you that my motives are really quite honorable.
- Martha Grant: That's nice to know.
- Martha Grant: [to Mrs. Muir] Watch the spoons.
- Capt. Daniel Gregg: [admiring solitude] Do you remember Coleridge's Ancient Mariner? "Alone, alone, all all alone, alone on a wide wide sea."
- Capt. Daniel Gregg: [glancing out the window] I'll impale his gullet on a marlin's spike!
- Carolyn Muir: I KNOW that's not from Coleridge.
- Paul Wilkie: There! Look there! There! The vase. The vase. It rose! It rose!
- Dr. Hewitt: Maybe it thinks it's a rug.
