"But, yeah, I saved him from certain death 30 years ago to this day, but you know losing my clumsy, old meat hook wasn't too big of a price to pay, but I do like to honor it every year" "by getting blackout drunk." "Care to join me?" "Yeah." "WOMEN" "Yeah, that's how it's done." "You like that?" "You like my wood?" "More, please!" "I'm getting a little winded." "Maybe we take a break, focus on me for a bit."

"Oh, okay, great, ah, yeah, I'll see you soon." "Thank you." "Morning, Vivian!" "Hey, I wonder if I can ask you a teeny favor?" "Some things have come up and well," "I may have to leave town soon." "Oh, honey pie, that's a shame." "Any chance you could tidy up my trailer while I'm gone?" "No heavy lifting of course." "Just a little dusting." "Some dishes." "Oil up the hitch, make sure it's ready to go, and drain the waste water tank." "Uh... anything for you, you sweet little muffin." "Really get in there, okay, conquer those clogs." "Thank you my delicious cookie." "We are near." "Your time comes again." "Watch out, you idiot!" "Ah, shut up!" "VALUESTOP" "Okay, I'll just get my check and I'll be in Saginaw before nightfall." "Hey, ah, Mr. Roper." "My dear friend Eli is sick." "So I gotta take off early." "You know, to look after him." "Any way I can pick up my check before I go?" "Are you really gonna use your fucking lizard as an excuse to get out of work again?" " I am." " Okay." "Look, you retard... and I can say "retard" because my gardener is a huge one." "I know all about you." "You think you can't get fired, 'cause you have seniority?" "Well... okay, technically you're correct, but that doesn't mean I have to help you." "So to be clear, that's a nay-no on the paycheck?" "You get your pay at the end of the day." "That's store policy." "Now take these light bulbs out back and don't break 'em." "Okay, Mr. Roper." "Right away sir." "I got this." "Oh, thanks, Pablo." "Oh, great news, I got some turkey burgers, you know we can grill, and watch a little Monday Night Raw tonight if you want?" "Oh, tonight's bad."

"That's very true, but, uh, I may have a, uh... situation." "Hey, man, tell me what's up, maybe I can help you."

"Sweet musical Jesus, that's your friend?" "Oh, she's filthy, and fine." "She's very attractive, I know." "Hey, I try not to look at her like that." "That must be difficult." "It is." "She haunts my dreams... just kidding." "She does though." "Well, I should say my goodbyes." "Nice day?" "I just wanted to say I'm sorry" "I have to leave you so soon." "I don't even know you." "And now, you never will." "Which is fine, because you really never could have had me anyway." ""Had you."" "Are you out of your mind?" "I know, it sounds crazy, doesn't it?"

"Do me a favor will ya, thank your mother for me?" "She passed her genes down to you in all the right places." "My mother died in a car accident six months ago." "Um, you know in the future you might wanna just say," ""Sure, I'll tell her."" "'Cause dropping a bomb like that on somebody you just met is downright rude, but you know what?" "You're young, you'll figure it out." "Goodbye forever, Kelly." "Touch me again, and you're gonna need another wooden hand." "Okay, wait."

"Yeah, I um, I just... just thought I saw something, but I can't really, um, trust my eyes these days." "There's nothin' wrong with your eyes." "Sometimes what you think you saw, it's exactly what you saw." "Hey, Williams!" "Bring those bulbs back here!" "Okay, Mr. Roper." "Hey!" "Man working here!" "Lights on!" "Who's there?" "Who's there?"

"Let me ask you somethin', Pablo." "Do you believe in the existence of evil?" "A force of nature capable of giving rise to all things wicked?" "My uncle is a shaman." "We called him El Brujo, and when I was a kid, he would say," ""Pablito, fear the evil." ""The devil is always waiting in the shadows."" "Man, I always thought it was the mezcal talking, but after seeing this, I think he was right." "I'ma tell you something I've never told anyone."

"Don't you see that it's happening all around you?" "You got the wrong Jefe, Chief." "Hey, come on." "You fought this thing before." "Maybe you just got to finish what you started." "You listen to me." "Whatever I was, that was a long time ago." "Let it choose somebody else now." "Me, I'm cutting out!" "You can't outrun evil, Ash!" "Watch me!" "Dad, Dad?" "Are you okay?" "You're... you're cutting in and out." " Something's happened, okay?" " What?" " Dad?" " It's okay, it's..." " Are you okay?" " I..." "Well, I... came downstairs this morning, and you... know that book that your mom gave me?" "That God awful french... novel that I never got through?" "It was on the table, and then later, when I came downstairs after my shower, then the whole place was like smelling like, like..." "like pancakes." "Oh, my God!" "Someone's there." "Jesus." "Who?" " She's here." " Dad, who?" "Who is there?" "Dad?" "Dad?" " Dad!" " She's... she's at the door." "My God, she's coming inside." "Oh, God." " She's here." " Dad?" "Dad...?" "What did you see?"

" I just hope that he will." "Oh, this idiot?" "Are you kidding?" "He can't help with anything." "Relax, sweetheart." "I'm not sticking my neck out for anybody." "In fact, I'm just about to haul nuggies." "All right." "I'm outta here." "What is that?" "What the hell?" "Well, whatever this thing is, it's found you." "There's no more running." "Are you gonna own up to who you are or not?" "I guess we'll find out." "Kelly!" "Let her go!" "Hey, Ash!" "Do something please!" "Help me." "Help me, please." "Just leave us alone!" "Leave us the hell alone!" "Are they gonna get in?" "Oh, they're comin' in, all right..." "It ain't for Shabbo's dinner." "I need this." "Mommy shoulda' taught you to knock." "Thought I could hide."
