Quotes 

• Pizza Delivery Guy : Hey, this is some place, huh? Is it haunted?

  Emery : Yeah. By the ghosts of delivery men who asked too many stupid questions and never escaped.

• Emery : [Emery's fridge interior dripping with blood]  Save the warnings for someone who's not broke.

• Emery : That's Momma's little scoot-about.

  Sister : That's *what*?

  Emery : Momma's little scoot-about. Sometimes we scoot-about for ice cream and sometimes we scoot-about to the movies... don't look at me like that.

• Emery : Read my lips: save the warnings for someone who's not broke!

• Cathy : What on Earth would your mother be doing here?

  Emery : She worries about me! I'm worried about me too, actually.

• Emery : I'm sorry, your call cannot be completed as dialed, just pay your bill and kiss my ass!

• Emery : Where are Nick and Cathy, they should've been back by now. Why'd she have to go off on her own, anyway? That was extremely stupid!

• Nick : Gosh, the day before summer camp must have been a busy time in the Waterman household.

  Emery : Shut up!

• Emery : Oh, no. I don't think so. No, no, no, you wouldn't wanna hear it from me. Every time I open my mouth something wickedy-wickedy-wicked comes out!

• [repeated line] 

  Emery : Not there, not there, not there!

• Emery : [Running out of the house]  First thing I want is a morphine milkshake!

  Mrs. Kay Waterman : [Unseen]  Emery?

  Emery : Second thing I wanted...

  Mrs. Kay Waterman : [Comes out of a mirror as a ghost now]  Come here, Emery! I wanna see if you've been cleaning your nails! I wanna look behind your ears. I wanna look at your teeth. And what about down there? Come to Mommy Emmy! Come to Momma! Have you been doing that nasty thing again? I hear you in your room at night. Mommy hears everything!

  Emery : [to Cathy]  Help me, for God's sake! Help me!

  Cathy : Emery, for once in your miserable life fight her!

  Emery : Not there, not there, not there!

  Mrs. Kay Waterman : [pulling him back into the mirror]  Come to Momma, Emmy. Emers, no! I'll always be there for you. After all I'm your mother!

  [Disappears into the mirror] 

  Emery : Not there!

  [Steve pulls Emery out] 

• Emery : If my Mom doesn't hear from me soon, she is really gonna go nuclear.

• Emery : [stones from the sky have just destroyed his mother's car]  Good.

• Cathy : Why are you so miserable?

  Emery : Because I am miserable, you over-Christianized idiot!
