- Emily: Do you like her, Daddy?
- David: Emily.
- Emily: Charlie says you do.
- David: Stop this.
- Emily: Did Daddy tell you about my mommy?
- David: I'm sure Elizabeth doesn't want to hear such things.
- Emily: She killed herself. She slit her wrists and drowned in the bathtub. Let's hope you don't wind up like her.
- David: I don't want to be too forward, but I don't notice a lot of kids around and I'm trying to find other kids to have play dates with Emily.
- [after hearing a noise at the front door at about 2am in the morning]
- David: [tears open front door to see Mr. Haskins kneeling on porch]
- Mr. Haskins: [bolts up] Dr. Calloway. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you at this hour.
- [hands over small envelope]
- Mr. Haskins: These are the keys to the individual rooms in the house. I thought you might be needing them. I meant to be give them to you earlier, but I forgot. I'm sorry.
- David: [looks at the keys and then glares back at Mr. Haskins] It's a little bit late to be delivering keys, isn't it?
- Mr. Haskins: Wife and I are going to Canada early in the morning, so I thought I'd just slip them under your door while it was still on my mind.
- Steven: Dr. Callaway!
- David: You. What are you doing here?
- Steven: I heard some noises. I saw you come out of the woods with a shovel. Is everything all right?
- David: No.
- Steven: Is Emily all right?
- David: You stay away from us.
- Steven: I want to see her.
- David: You stay away or I'm gonna call the cops.
- Steven: I want to see her now.
- David: You sick fuck.
- [Steven is peering in through the windows]
- David: [screaming] You stay away. You stay away. You get out of here.
- David: [possessed as Charlie] I can't help but sense a certain tension between us.
- Emily: [too scared to answer]
- David: What's the matter? Don't you want to play anymore? Don't you want to have fun?
- Emily: [sniffles sadly and scaredly]
- David: Hmm? You want your daddy back? Is that it? You like him more than me, don't you?
- Emily: [quietly] No.
- David: Oh. Liar.
- Emily: [quietly] No. I'm not.
- David: Yes you are. Liar, liar. You big fat liar.
- Emily: [quietly] You killed mommy.
- [wind whistles in the background]
