Quotes:

Eli: Who needs a hug? Do you know what I say? Better out than in.

Zooey: You can't just order a taxi and leave school whenever you want!::Eli: Well how do you expect me to get around? Have you been on a London bus recently? A taxi is really the quickest and most efficient way.

Mr Potts: For what it's worth, here's what I know. We, and by we I mean humans, for some reason we find it hard to let go of the past. I'm not saying there's no place for memories. What I'm saying is you can't live today in the past because then your future will look just the same as it did yesterday. You can't live in the future either because then today will pass you by. The only way to be truly happy is to connect with the present, connect with the moment.

Mr Potts: Up from the ashes grow the roses of success.

Alec: Eli, you're a genius.::Eli: I always thought so, but thanks for the validation.

In tow is "Floyd", a "medium" who has been hired to entertain everyone by conducting a "séance". The séance begins as a joke, but ends with guests revealing painful memories of their past. Later that evening, John and Kathy are awakened by a noise, and are shocked to discover that they apparently share their home with a ghost. Floyd is summoned to their home, and a private séance reveals in a dream that the ghost is the spirit of a murdered woman, who may be buried somewhere on the property. After an exhausting search, inside and outside, the body of the dead woman is found. She is given a proper burial, and her spirit is released from the house.

Quotes:

Jerry Beck: I'm telling you something's going on here. I'm telling you something big is happening here, and all that grabs you is my language? What the fuck is the matter with you?

Jerry Beck: Come on, Kressler, open your eyes. These people aren't a rag tag bunch of yahoos that drink beer and run around in sheets on Saturday night. They've got money behind them. They've got strong pockets of community support.::Arthur Kressler: No proof. You don't know that for sure.::Jerry Beck: The hell I don't. We just walked out of one. Who the fuck do you think called ahead and warned Gephardt? They were standing on the fucking porch when...::Arthur Kressler: Excuse me. As one professional to another, I would appreciate it if you minimised your constant use of profanity.::Jerry Beck: You're kidding?::Arthur Kressler: No, sir, I'm not kidding.::Jerry Beck: I'm telling you something's going on here. I'm telling you something big is happening here, and all that grabs you is my language? What the fuck is the matter with you?::Arthur Kressler: That's a good example. I'm a Christian, Beck. I'm sure that seems like probably a joke to you, but I find your language personally offensive.

Elliott Webley: If I were you I'd give AA some thought. Alcoholism is a disease, you know.

James Ellis: Jesus, son of a bitch fucking threw up on me, man. Goddamn it, you asshole! Oh, God, get me out of this, dude, come on. Jesus Christ. Oh man, you're a real asshole, you know that? It's all over me, man. Come on, let me up. Why don't you just shit on me while you're at it?::Jerry Beck: [to Webley] Do you think this will wash out of my tie?

Elliott Webley: Ah, honey, I'm telling you the truth. Sweety, I think the man is physically dangerous. Ah ha. Wait a minute, he's doing something. Me? I'm at a Chinese restaurant. Honey, sweety, I don't think the Chinese celebrate Christmas.

Jerry Beck: I'll be finished in a minute. Keep an eye out for the cops.::Elliott Webley: I will not. I will not be a party to this, Beck. I will not allow this to happen under my aegis.::Jerry Beck: Under your what?::Elliott Webley: My aegis. My, er, auspice. I'm responsible here.::Jerry Beck: [to Ellis handcuffed on the ground] You hear that? He's responsible here. But I'm not. Now Goddamn it, I need some answers here. I've got a splitting headache. I'm seeing double. Shit, I think I'm going to throw up over.::James Ellis: He took off in a wagon. A brown, er, maroon Ford wagon. Said something about going north to Bakersfield. That's all, that's all. He didn't say anymore and I didn't ask. That's it.::Jerry Beck: You sure?::James Ellis: Yeah, don't puke. Don't puke!

Chief Hillard: Bloomberg, tow this thing out of here.::Jerry Beck: Er, chief, that's my car.

Chief Hillard: Let me give you a piece of advice here, Beck. You're a big city cop. If I was in the big city I'd listen to you. But this ain't the big city, this is Cottonwood, population twenty two thirty one. I'm the chief of police. This is my town, my territory. I'll make it real simple, nobody is gonna fuck with me here.

Chief Hillard: Ah, Dorothy. We're arriving at the Steadman place. Have Barney send over a couple of steak sandwiches at the office about twelve thirty. What?::[to Beck]::Chief Hillard: Fries or baked?::Jerry Beck: What?::Chief Hillard: [prompting under breath] Fries, fries.::Jerry Beck: Oh, fries, yes.::Chief Hillard: Thanks, hon. Fries.::Jerry Beck: [all hell breaks loose. The car crashes into the ditch riddled with bullets. Chief Hillard grabs a shotgun] You don't need a gun, chief. Just tell them who you are!

Arthur Kressler: [Beck is reading a pamphlet to Kressler] Sounds like typical white supremacy rhetoric to me.::Jerry Beck: Yeah? You mean they just sit around and write this shit all the time?::Arthur Kressler: Half of them are in prison anyway. I suppose it helps them pass the time of day. Is that tape on your glasses?::Jerry Beck: Yeah, I lost one of those little screws. It fell out.

The mother finds the great loss unbearable and follows the son. John Burns' neighbors become panic-stricken when the terrific cannonading at Gettysburg is heard, but the old man stoically refuses to be driven from his borne. Finally the retreating troops fire Burns' patriotism and he resolves to wreak his vengeance. Dressing in his best suit and high hat, he becomes the butt of the soldiers' jests, but his calm determination and seeming immunity inspire the regulars. He declines to take the shelter of the trenches, but stands before the enemy, quietly ramming his musket and firing shot after shot at the Confederates. Unconcernedly he leads a charge that turns the tide in favor of the Federal forces.
