Professor Payne: Are you sure it's not a reflection?
Melinda: Yes I can say that I'm reasonably sure it's not a reflection.
Professor Payne: Maybe someone that was there but you forgot they were there...
Melinda: It's a ghost, get over it.
Professor Payne: Sweet!
-
Delia: Do you want anything?
Melinda: A muffin.
Delia: Healthy or disgusting?
-
Justin (showing the picture): What do you think?
Professor Payne: Ahem. I think I look scattered and distracted. Darn.
Justin: No, um, I mean... I mean this. Dude, he's like not there in every other picture, and he just randomly appears in these two!
Professor Payne: Justin, I'm not one to stand on ceremony, but if you
call me "dude" again, I'm gonna have to bounce your head off of one of these walls.
-
Delia: Is there anything I can do?
Melinda: You're doing it. Thanks for listening to the rantings of your very weird and haunted friend.
-
Melinda: My dad was always this villain in my life, and now, all of a sudden, he's gone, or at least physically gone, and, I don't know, I just feel like there's this big hole.
Jim: You didn't really think he was gonna come back, did you?
Melinda: I used to fantasize about it when I was a kid. You know, that he'd show up one day after school and have this explanation of why he had left. You know, like he had been kidnapped by spies and they'd burned all the letters he was gonna send to me and then he had finally escape and fought his way back to me.
Jim: Hmm. That's funny. Your mom thought you might romanticize him.
-
Melinda: Mom, is there something that you're not telling me that could help? Do you know where he was living? What's the last thing that you remember about him?
Beth: The last thing I remember about him is how hard you cried when he left... for days. Don't romanticize him, Melinda. He doesn't deserve it.
-
Melinda: Right now I'm just gonna concentrate on what happened to my dad.
Professor Payne: How are you going to do that?
Melinda: Guess I have to talk to my mother. If she's calmed down enough since the accident.
Professor Payne: Well, don't you think she would have told you if she saw him?
Melinda: Not necessarily. My mom has spent her whole life trying to deny that she could see spirits. I just found out she could see them 2 years ago. She hates talking about my father, and she hates talking about anything that has to do with her real feelings.
Professor Payne: So it should be a productive visit, all in all.
-
Melinda: Something else weird happened to me at the doctor's. There was a face behind mine in the x-ray.
Professor Payne: Do you think it was your father?
Melinda: I don't know.
Professor Payne: Even your x-rays are haunted. That's hardcore...
-
Melinda: So what do you think me seeing this door means? I mean, it had, like, a viewport and I could hear strange noises coming from behind it, like, wood falling and beams crashing.
Professor Payne: Sounds like me doing home repairs.
-
Melinda (to Jennifer): It's hard to get through life without a few tears.
-
Melinda: Hey! Did we get the check?
Professor Payne: Yeah!
Melinda: Oh, good! That is mine. I asked you.
Professor Payne: OK. Well, in that case I'm still hungry!
-
Melinda: Can you get me out of here?
Jim: I gotta go to work.
Melinda: How about you? Lunch?
Professor Payne: If it's a lunch that involves food, yeah I'm in.
