"Negatus." "Listen." "What's happening?" "It's the rats." "They're back." "Pete, it's three in the mor..." "Hello." "Ah!" "Look at that there!" "I didn't put that there." "That's been moved." "Pete, you're being paranoid." "That's what they want you to think." "Do you seriously think a rat came up the stairs, broke into the bathroom cabinet and tried to make off with your razor?" "Why would it?" "To sculpt its little "downstairs" into the shape of Australia?" "That was one time, and it was supposed to be a heart." "I suppose you're right." "A rat couldn't lift that up, could it?" "Good night, Pete." "Yeah, I'm just being ridiculous." "We've got a ghost." "Oh, my God...!" "'Far, far ago, 'the ancients wrote upon the scrolls 'that dark forces would sweep our realm, 'until only Yonderland remained." "'But they telled also of a saviour, come from a distant world, 'to save us from the shadows, 'which is nice.'" "Weirdo." "Good morning, sir." "Up bright and early, I see." "Yeah, yeah." "Small talk, banter." "Urgh!" "Where's the mint?" "Thank you." "Agh..." "Oh God!" "Oh God!" "Oh God!" "Oh..." "I must warn you, I have demons." "We've all got demons, mate."

"Do we look like common thieves to you?" "Well..." "HE does a bit." "Why?" "Because I don't wear name brands?" "Shut up!" "My name is Ellis." "Ellis of Woolworth." "Ring any bells?" "Is this about child maintenance?" "No." "This is about my beloved twin brother." "We used to be like two peas in a pod, bedfellows, bunkmates, double trouble, dual fuel..." "Yeah, OK, I get it." "You were close." "Oh, that's happened." "Like boobies in a bra." "And then you killed him to make way for your champion in the grand tournament." "And now I shall exact my revenge." "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" "You're Philip's brother!" "Philip of Woolworth!" "I didn't kill him." "Maddox did." "Who?" "Debbie." "Of Maddox." "You know." "The Chosen One." "Where have you guys been living?" "On the moons?" "We have been bravely fighting foul foe in the Afarlands." "My page" " Marks." "My page" " Spencer." "It's an unpaid internship." "Shut up." "Negatus." "I don't have a page." "Though I do have a guy who cleans my helmet, so..." "Well, she may have a name that suggests great legs, but this Debbie shall still taste the bitter sting of my terrible vengeance." "Look, I hate to be frying your ointment here, but killing this Maddox woman is kind of my job." "I sort of promised the boss that I would..." "Noooooo..." "Excuse me?" "These men will eliminate Maddox." "You're staying here, with me." "The time has come to make some changes." "I thought you were just here to observe." "Not any more." "Get off!" "But it's my turn!" "Ow!" "I told you to leave that!" "Go and get your swimming stuff, quick!" "Is this you watching them?" "Mm-hm." "Now, according to Derek Acorah's Ghost Facts..." "Oxymoron." "He is a bit, but his facts are really good." "He reckons most hauntings occur..." "Aw, Pete!" "We've been in this house for six years, and the only terrifying spirit we've encountered is that stuff your dad brought back from Greece." "We absolutely, categorically do not have a ghost." "OK, OK." "But there is definitely something weird going on in this house." "Take that cupboard." "The light is always..." "Although... no-one really knows what's going on with the afterlife." "Who am I to say what does and doesn't exist?" "Maybe you do get nice, friendly ghosts." "Like Casper, but older." "Needing a shave." "He hit me!" "She broke my car!" "Ben, we don't hit." "See?" "Er, we don't hit!" "Except for muggers." "Thank you!" "Oh, look!" " Right, no-one's going swimming." " What?" "!" "Actually, you know what?" "Swimming's back on." "Hooray!" "Come on." "Quick, before I change my mind!" "What are you doing here?" "!" "It's Sunday!" "Don't tell me you've forgotten." "Oh, God!" "How could you forget?" "!" "Maybe 'cause I've got two lives?" "And a husband who thinks we've got a ghost because of the mythical creature that lives on my fridge." "What is a fridge?" "A cold cupboard." "How did you get that?" "We need to go." "Where are we going?" "You're not going anywhere." "And stop taking stuff!" "But I need battery for projector!" "No projector, no message." "What about that?" "Yes!" "Even better!" "Give!" "Fine, but put it back before Pete comes home." "And stay out of sight." "OK." "Shall we go?" "Yes." "Oh, two secs." "Let me pop in the shed." "She's going to pop, in the shed?" "!" "Nah." "She says that but she never does." "What is all this?" "What's happening?" "Oh, no!" "Fire!" "Surprise!" "Oh, no." "Whilst it is not our usual custom to mark the incremental journey towards death," " Debbie..." " The Chosen One!" "Yes, felt we would be remiss not to celebrate the fact that Nicholas here is 400 years old!" "Don't remind me." "Well, blow them out, then." "This is nice, isn't it?" "Nice?" "I've been kidnapped, reminded I'm ancient, and presented with the burning effigy of a loved one." "But you do get presents." "Look!" "What is it?" "Wood preserver." "No." "I don't go in for all that nonsense." "I'll just grow moss gracefully and..." "Ahhh!" "That is first class!" "Happy birthday, stickhead." "Ow!" "Ha-ha-ha!" "Splinter?" "'Right." "If you want to find Maddox, there's this tavern that's probably your best bet." "'You can't miss Maddox." "Leggy, blonde, attractive... 'if you like that sort of thing.'" "Mmm!"

"If you want revenge, why not just take it, right now, instead of throwing me in there?" "Come on." "When was the last time you actually killed anything?" "I mean you personally." "Ho-ho." "Nice try, Maddox." "I would say, "Better luck next time," but there's not gonna be one." "Now go on, get stuck in!" "Fresh meat!" "That's taught you, hasn't it, Maddox!" "If there's one man around here who likes killing, it's yours truly!" "Oh, no..." "Oh, no...!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "I'm so sorry!" "I..." "I can't feel my stem." "Look, it was an accident!" "I never meant to..." "Just tell my cuttings I love them." "No!" "No, not like this!" "I haven't killed anything in four years." "I'm not about to start again now." "Please, just live." "Live!"

"Some rescue!" "I think we've established that I'm a pretty useless knight." "All I used to do was try to be brave - which is a lie - and flirt with girls - which is a..." "That's it!" "What's what?" "They're bullies!" "They want us to hate them!" "To hate ourselves!" "This whole place, it feeds on hate!" "So what do we do?" "The last thing they're expecting." "We show them some love." "Oh, yes." "Ha-ha!" "You've come to the brother of the right guy." "Excuse me!" "You in the middle!" "Me?" "Tell me, did it hurt?" "What are you on about?" "When you fell from the heavens." "Ooh!" "Oh!"

"Oh..." "So you're saying we've got a poltergeist... who fixes toys?" "Well, not just toys." "What about the spoons?" "And the TV?" "So it's a bit playful." "At least it's helping out around the place." "It could be one of those evil spirits that goes around smashing things up." "And personal hygiene issues aside, it is quite clear to me that Negatus is unfit to hold command and, in my opinion, should be relieved of his duty immediately." "That should cover it."
