Gary Hallet : You're saying what I'm feeling is just one of your spells?
Sally Owens : Yeah. It's not real. And if you stay, I wouldn't know if it was because of the spell and... you wouldn't know if it was because I didn't want to go to prison.
Gary Hallet : Yeah, well... you know, all relationships have problems.

Gary Hallet : What was that, Sally? That was him, wasn't it? Is he gone or what?
Sally Owens : Yes, you killed his spirit, but I know I took his life. I'll tell you all need to know. I'll tell you how I did it, where I buried him, what I did it with. I'll tell you how...
Gary Hallet : Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on just a goddamn second, all right? One step at a time. I took on oath to uphold the law. I came here to bring in the bad guy because generally that's what I do.

And I'm all mixed-up about that.

Old Lady Wilkes : [Getting interviews by Officer Hallet about the Owens] Go arrest her! Their niece owns a shop where they cook up a special placenta. And that's why the Aunts don't age! I tell you, they just don't age!
Gary Hallet : [Doubtful] She's selling placentas?
Old Lady Wilkes : [With gleeful conviction] A placenta bar!
