Quotes 

• Johnny : [in a creepy voice]  They're coming to get you, Barbra!

  Barbra : Stop it! You're ignorant!

  Johnny : They're coming for you, Barbra!

  Barbra : Stop it! You're acting like a child!

  Johnny : They're coming for you!

  [points to the cemetery zombie] 

  Johnny : Look, there comes one of them now!

  Barbra : He'll hear you!

  Johnny : Here he comes now! I'm getting out of here!

• [Johnny holds up a cross-shaped wreath Barbra bought for their father's grave] 

  Johnny : Look at this thing. "We still remember"? I don't! You know, I don't even remember what the man looks like!

  Barbra : Johnny, it takes you five minutes.

  Johnny : Yeah, five minutes to put the wreath on the grave and six hours to drive back and forth. Mother wants to remember, so we trot two hundred miles into the country and she stays at home.

  Barbra : Well, we're here, John, all right?

• Johnny : [at the cemetery]  Do you remember one time when we were small, we were out here? It was from right over there, I jumped out at you from behind the tree, and Grandpa got all excited, and he shook his fist at me and said, "Boy, you'll be damned to Hell!"

  [laughs] 

  Johnny : Remember that? Right over there. Boy, you used to really be scared here.

  Barbra : Johnny!

  Johnny : Hey, you're still afraid!

  Barbra : Stop it, now! I mean it!

• Johnny : [Noticing nobody in the cemetary]  Why isn't no one around?

  Barbra : Well, it's late. You could of gotten up earlier.

  Johnny : Well, look, I already lost an hour of sleep to the time change.

  Barbra : I think you complain just to hear yourself talk!

• [first lines] 

  Barbra : They ought to make the day the time changes the first day of summer.

  Johnny : What?

  Barbra : Well, it's eight o' clock, and it's still light.

  Johnny : A lot of good the extra daylight does us. You know, we've still got a three hour drive back; we're not going to be home until after midnight.

  Barbra : Well, if it really bugged you, Johnny, you wouldn't do it.

  Johnny : You think I wanna blow Sunday on a scene like this? You know, I figure we're either going to have to move mother out here or move the grave to Pittsburgh.

  Barbra : Well, she can't make a trip like this.

  Johnny : I know that she can't.

  [reaches for the wreath in the backseat] 

  Johnny : Is there any of that candy left?

  Barbra : [looks in the glove compartment]  No.

• Johnny : [while putting the wreath on their father's grave]  I wonder what happened to the one from last year. Each year, we spend good money on these things. Then, we come out here and the one from last year's gone.

  Barbra : Well, the flowers die and the caretaker or someone takes them away.

  Johnny : Yeah, a little spit-and-polish could clean this up and sell it next year. I wonder how many times we bought the same one.

• Johnny : There's nothing wrong with the radio. Must've been the station.

• Johnny : Hey, come on, Barb. Church was this morning.

  [pause as lightning is seen] 

  Johnny : I mean, prayin's for church.

  Barbra : I haven't seen you in church lately.

  Johnny : Well, there's not much sense in my going to church.
