Quotes 

• Vincent Talbot : I must apologize for my behavior in the office, it's just that your appearance was a bit of a shock to me.

  Elvira : It's okay. My appearance is kind of a shock to everybody.

• Mrs. Morissey : Oh Mister Talbot, your sister was like a mother to me.

  Vincent Talbot : She was a mother to me too, dear. Well, now that we've dispensed with the obligatory display of bereavement, you may begin the proceedings, Mister Bigelow.

• Vincent Talbot : [to Elvira]  You think you're pretty clever, don't you? Well, mark my words. I'll get you and your little dog, too!

• Vincent Talbot : He who holds the book of sight, when the moon is drained of all its light, will then be ruler of the night, Master of the Dark.

• Vincent Talbot : It so happens, that there is a law in the books that dates back to the Salem trials. It specifically forbids, and I quote, 'any townsperson from practicing the ancient arts of spellcasting, demonology, alchemy and conjuration'. The charge, my fellow council members, is witchcraft.

• Vincent Talbot : As you may have surmised my sister and I, shall we say, had our differences.

  Elvira : Yeah, you really got shafted. Tell you what, I'll share my inheritance with you. You can have the dog.

  Vincent Talbot : No! Thank you. But I would be interested in acquiring that recipe book, you know, for sentimental reasons. I'd be willing to pay you, say, $50.

  Elvira : [Chastity Pariah passes by and only hears Elvira's response]  Yeah, sure, I'll do it for fifty bucks.

  Chastity Pariah : [indignantly]  Oh!
