Bigelow: Is it everything you wanted, Mr. Stendahl?
Stendahl: Yes.
Bigelow: Is it desolate and terrible?
Stendahl: Very terrible.
Bigelow: The walls are bleak?
Stendahl: Amazingly so.
Bigelow: The sedge, we dyed it, you know. Is it properly hideous?
Stendahl: It's beautiful.
Stendahl: There's always a minority afraid of something, and a great majority afraid of the past, afraid of the future, afraid of themselves.
Garrett: Now suppose you tell me about this place, Mr. Stendahl.
Stendahl: It's a haunted castle, if you like.
Garrett: I don't like, Mr. Stendahl. I don't like.
Stendahl: In this house, copper bats fly in make-believe attics. Brass rats scuttle in plastic cellars. Robot skeletons rattle in dreary closets.
Garrett: Robot skeletons?
Stendahl: Vampires, wolves, phantoms. Done with chemicals and ingenuity.
Garrett: Mr. Stendahl, what exactly is going on here?
Stendahl: Murder.
Garrett: Murder?
Stendahl: Murder most foul!
Garrett: What are you doing?
Stendahl: I'm being ironic. Never interrupt a man when he's being ironic. It's not polite.
