Bryan Dick: Sykes

Quotes 

• Sykes : Thanks for all your help, George.

  George : Oh, no, that's, um... That's fine. I'll, uh... I'll just throw ALL OF THIS IN THE BIN, THEN, SHALL I?

  [George storms off] 

  Annie : [calling after]  Wow! Clearly somebody's been watching a bit too much Gordon Ramsey!

• Annie : I'll haunt you!

  Sykes : You can't haunt another ghost.

  Annie : Well I'll give it a damn good go.

• Sykes : You've resisted Death's Door three times.

  Annie : How could you know that?

  Sykes : Oh please, it's written all over your aura. Which I could teach you to read.

  Annie : You can read auras?

  Sykes : Maybe.

• Sykes : What do you make of this likely looking fella here?

  Annie : OCD. Desperate. Having a mid-life crisis.

  Sykes : I meant from his aura.

• Sykes : There's nothing I can do for you. Fighting the men behind the Door is grown-up stuff. You're outmanned and outgunned.

  Annie : Grown up stuff? You're about nine!

  Sykes : I died when I was twenty-three. In ghost years I'm eighty-nine.

  Annie : Oh great. So you're senile.

• Sykes : Annie, you were never meant to be visible in the first place. There's a natural order. There's life, there's the door and then, somewhere in between them, there's the ghosts.
