- Compton Dawes: Is there something you don't like about the house? We can talk about it! It's not easy to get people to move in here, we can refinance! Please, you dopes, can't you understand, I need you! Come back, come back, Dark Falls needs you...
- [yelling in a high-pitched tone]
- Compton Dawes: I'm hungry!
- Penelope Benson: [about her decorative hanging wreath] It's just a wreath...
- Josh Benson: And those are just walking dead people outside!
- Mayor: [the townsfolk have trapped the Benson family in the attic and plan to kill them; The Mayor grabs onto Mrs, Benson and her mouth drops open in horror] Hold it, hold it everybody, let go of her. HOLD IT!... Now, Jim here will go first! I know you are all hungry...
- Amanda Benson: Wait a minute, Josh! You remember when all those kids ran away when the sun came out?
- Josh Benson: [panicky] Yeah?
- Amanda Benson: And that man in the cemetery, he screamed when the sun hit his arm! It's the light, it's the sunlight, they're all afraid of it! That's why they all keep the shutters closed!
- [Amanda hurries towards the window to pull the boards away and let the sunshine in]
- Karen Thurston: STOP THEM! Don't do it!
- [to Amanda]
- Karen Thurston: I really like you! I promise you Amanda, it doesn't hurt!
- Amanda Benson: Josh, help me!
- [Amanda and Josh both begin removing the wooden boards, flooding the attic with light and making the townsfolk groan in agony]
- Letta: NOT THE LIGHT!
- Mayor: CLEAR THE ROOM!
- Mr. Thurston: [nervously joking] I guess no one wants to stop for lunch!
- Penelope Benson: No, I think we should wait until we get to the next town!
- Josh Benson: Next town.
- Amanda Benson: DEFINITELY the next town.
- Dark Falls Weatherman: Bright sunshine this afternoon! That's BRIGHT SUNSHINE! Remember to cover up, folks! You want to protect yourselves from these harmful rays...
- [the Bensons exchange traumatized glances]
- Josh Benson: Aw, Petey, are we ever glad to see you! Petey, where have you been?
- [Amanda and Josh suddenly start gagging and groaning, noticing a repulsive stench emanating from him]
- Amanda Benson: Oh, phooo! What's wrong with him?
- [Mrs. Benson looks nervous and Amanda gasps while Petey begins to turn gray and rotten in the backseat]
- Karen Thurston: Don't fight us, Amanda. Let us feed, then we can be best friends.
- Agnes Thurston: You'll have so much in common.
- Mr. Thurston: You're doing the right thing.
- Agnes Thurston: The neighborly thing.
- Karen Thurston: We were so happy when you moved in.
- Townsperson: You'll like Dark Falls. Great place to raise the kids.
- Karen Thurston: I'm sure there'll be a new family moving in right after you.
- Agnes Thurston: And then you'll get to feed. Mr. Dawes is a real good salesman.
- Mr. Thurston: It was the accident at the chemical plant! All those who were contaminated, they became living dead!
- Karen Thurston: Well it's just like in those scary movies... when a family brings someone old into the house and then... bad things start happening.
- Amanda Benson: It's likely just a coincidence. All those strange things started to happen just after we hung that thing up.
- Karen Thurston: It did?
- Karen Thurston: You feeling okay?
- Amanda Benson: Yeah. Yeah. I guess I just wish we picked a different house to live in.
- Karen Thurston: Yeah. I felt the same way when I moved in.
- Amanda Benson: You mean you lived in this house too?
- Karen Thurston: No. I meant my house.
