Quotes 

• Sarah Bennett : [after being followed by someone]  No, it was just some jerk trying to scare me.

  Dylan Bennett : Yeah, exactly. Trying to scare you. Who the hell does that?

  Sarah Bennett : Well, what are you gonna do, beat him up?

• Sarah Bennett : Hi, uh, I'm Sarah, your new neighbor. Can I offer you a lift?

  Verna McBride : I'm fine, thank you.

  Sarah Bennett : Really, it's no problem. We're... we're headed in the same direction.

  Verna McBride : Just because we're neighbors doesn't mean we're gonna be friends.

  Sarah Bennett : Have I done something, Mrs. McBride? 'Cause you're acting kind of hostile.

  Verna McBride : The apple doesn't fall very far from the tree, does it?

  Sarah Bennett : What does that mean?

  Verna McBride : Your mom was a dirty slut, and God struck her down. And by the looks of it, so are you.

• Sarah Bennett : You're probably wondering why I'm here. I know your reasons, or what you think your reasons were, for killing my parents.

  Tom Winston : Okay.

  Sarah Bennett : Now I want you to know what my life's been like without them. There's been a void, filled with grief and guilt and sadness. I grew up without parents because of you. I don't know who I am because of you.

  Tom Winston : Why do you feel the need to tell me about your life?

  Sarah Bennett : Excuse me?

  Tom Winston : Not that I'm not interested. I've kept tabs on you over the years, best I could.

  Sarah Bennett : What do you think you're doing?

  Tom Winston : I'm trying to understand what you hope to achieve by visiting me. Catharsis? Is that it?

  Sarah Bennett : I shouldn't have come here.

  Tom Winston : I get it, confront your demons. Dime-store pop psychology. But I'm afraid it's not that cut and dry. You wanna put the past behind you, Sarah? I can help you with that. It's not an intellectual exercise. Can't fix yourself with your mind. You have to immerse yourself in the past, Sarah. All of it. Find out what was going on in your parents' lives 30 years ago. Find what was buried in that house. No one, after lighting a lamp, puts it in a cellar so that those who enter may see the light.

  Sarah Bennett : We're done here.

• Sarah Bennett : What happened here before... you know, it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is what we put into this place. You and me. And I know I'm being maudlin and sentimental, so...

  Dylan Bennett : But it's very cute.

  Sarah Bennett : I'm cute?

  Dylan Bennett : You're very cute when you're sentimental.

  Verna McBride : [they start kissing]  There are decent people...

  Sarah Bennett : Jesus.

  Verna McBride : ...who live in this neighborhood. Children! You have a whole house! Pick a room!

  Dylan Bennett : [laughing]  You serious? Is she serious?

  Sarah Bennett : Oh. Wow. Welcome to the neighborhood.

  Dylan Bennett : Well, if she wants a show, we'll give her a show.

• Sarah Bennett : I used to lie awake at night imagining my parents were still alive.

  Dylan Bennett : Hm.

  Sarah Bennett : I'd come up with all these crazy scenarios. They... they were spies, dropped behind the Iron Curtain. They were missionaries, out saving the world. They left with me with my grandmother to keep me safe. What I never imagined was that my dad was Larry Flint and my mom was Linda Lovelace.

  Dylan Bennett : I mean, listen, it's-it's not a good thing, what you found out. It's shocking and terrible, but...

  Sarah Bennett : What?

  Dylan Bennett : You wanted to know the truth. Now you do. Your parents weren't fallen angels, but they weren't these innocent martyrs, either, you know? They were... weird, screwed-up, imperfect people like the rest of us.

• Dylan Bennett : Alison really wants to meet you. She's very excited, so I told her we'll do dinner.

  Sarah Bennett : Yeah. Is... is this the same Alison that put my picture all over the front page of the Bulletin?

  Dylan Bennett : Mm-hmm.

  Sarah Bennett : You go. I'm gonna hang with the fun party-throwing gays I met today.

• Chief Iain Vaughn : You uh, you said you saw the murderer. Did you recognize him?

  Sarah Bennett : Yeah. It was the Executioner. Not the same person who killed my parents, but someone dressed like him.

  Chief Iain Vaughn : Can you give me a description of him?

  Sarah Bennett : You know what he looks like.

  Chief Iain Vaughn : I need a report from you.

  Sarah Bennett : L-Long black robe down to his feet, a-a... a mask or a hood covering his face. Dylan, it was him, I swear.

• Robin Turner : I'm sorry, I have to say this. You just look so much more normal than I thought you would.

  Justin Faysal : Robin.

  Robin Turner : What? I'm just saying what everyone else in this town is too polite to say out loud. But honey, I am not polite, and moving into the same house that your parents were murdered in is cuckoo crazy.

  Justin Faysal : I am so, so sorry.

  Sarah Bennett : You know what? It-It's fine. I-It's nothing compared to this morning. There was this woman across the road...

  Robin Turner : Ah!

  Justin Faysal , Robin Turner : Verna McBride.

  Robin Turner : I hate her.

  Sgt. Cam Henry : Some tenants have had issues with her in the past.

  Sarah Bennett : [sarcastic]  Issues. Great.

• Dylan Bennett : Your parents were murdered in the house we're about to move into.

  Sarah Bennett : My parents are photographs, and they're stories told by strangers. It's just a house. Bricks and mortar.

• Sgt. Cam Henry : So, the house was okay? Everything's in order?

  Sarah Bennett : Oh, yeah. We need to hit, like, six furniture stores, but...

  Sgt. Cam Henry : Well, there's some of your parents' old stuff in the basement.

  Sarah Bennett : I am thinking a lot of wicker and a microwave the size of a VW Bug.

  Sgt. Cam Henry : That's probably accurate.

• Sarah Bennett : [trying to get their TV working]  Okay, is this right?

  Dylan Bennett : No.

  Sarah Bennett : Well... well, you do it, then. I mean...

  Dylan Bennett : If that's not going to help... see, and I didn't want to be a mansplaining, chauvinist pig...

  Sarah Bennett : No, go crazy. Mansplain away.

  Dylan Bennett : You leave me no choice.

  [switching places] 

  Dylan Bennett : Okay, see? Here's your problem, young lady. You put the HDMI cord in the wrong place. It goes here. And when we get a gaming system, we're gonna need to get a second HDMI cord, and you're gonna have to change the input from HDMI1 to HDMI2 every time...

  [seeing her looking out the window] 

  Dylan Bennett : ...babe. Who cares about her? She's a crazy old bitch.

  Sarah Bennett : No, no, she hates me, okay? I can feel it.

  Dylan Bennett : Mrs. McBride is a big bully and a big perv. She probably hasn't been laid since VCRs were invented. If she doesn't like us, who gives a shit?

  Sarah Bennett : Well, I do, obviously. It's just, she's yet another person who knew my parents who, you know, thought that she was the spawn of Satan, you know? Which makes the spawn of the spawn of Satan.

• Sgt. Cam Henry : Hey, have you stopped by the gallery yet? Robin and Justin, they've done a lot of work on it.

  Sarah Bennett : Well, yeah, you know, looking around here, it's just what this town needs is another gallery.

  Sgt. Cam Henry : Well, it's better than another B&B.

  Sarah Bennett : You don't know. "Come stay at the murder house. It's 20% off if you survive your first night."

  Sgt. Cam Henry : You'd probably make a killing.

  Sarah Bennett : Ooh. No.

  Sgt. Cam Henry : It's a little much, huh?

  Sarah Bennett : Yeah, it's too soon.

• Sarah Bennett : Cam, I've gotta ask you something, and I don't think you're gonna like it.

  Sgt. Cam Henry : What?

  Sarah Bennett : I wanna go see Tom Winston.

  Sgt. Cam Henry : Why?

  Sarah Bennett : You know, I... kind of always ignored what happened to my parents and me. I... pretended it didn't matter, that it happened to someone else. Pushed it all away. Look where that got me.

  Sgt. Cam Henry : You fell apart.

  Sarah Bennett : Yeah, that's an understatement.

  Sgt. Cam Henry : You know, you're giving that psychopath everything he wants; attention, validation.

  Sarah Bennett : No, I'm just... I'm tired of running. If I can, you know, get past it, then I can move on. You know, that's the theory, anyway.

• Sgt. Cam Henry : It's kind of hard to tell, but the pic's pretty blurry.

  Sarah Bennett : Well, if you had to make a guess.

  Sgt. Cam Henry : Peter McBride? Verna McBride's husband? I don't... but I haven't seen him in years. Not since I was a kid. He skipped town right about the time your parents died. Where'd you find that?

  Sarah Bennett : I was, you know, going through the basement. Found a bunch of old videos from my mom and dad. It's pretty X-rated stuff.

  Sgt. Cam Henry : Oh, wow.

  Sarah Bennett : Peter McBride was in one and a bunch of other people. You didn't know about this, did you?

  Sgt. Cam Henry : No!

  Sarah Bennett : What about your dad? I mean, they were best friends.

  Sgt. Cam Henry : You think this is connected to what happened? Look, Sarah, I... I know you want to find out what happened to your mom and dad and why, but like I said before, you know, some things are better left undisturbed.

• Tom Winston : McBride died for a reason. Why?

  Sarah Bennett : I don't know.

  Tom Winston : How did she die? Newspaper said blood loss, but how, exactly?

  Sarah Bennett : He cut off her hands. And her feet.

  Tom Winston : Now, why would he do that?

  Sarah Bennett : 'Cause he's crazy.

  Tom Winston : [laughing again]  That's right, Sarah. Get it all out of you. All the judgment, all the righteousness. Shake it out! Now put your emotions aside and get into the mind of this killer. Cutting off limbs: why?

  Sarah Bennett : Is it a punishment? Like in Saudi Arabia, when... when you steal, they...

  Tom Winston : They just cut off hands, nothing else. Still, what did she take? Sarah?

  Sarah Bennett : Video tapes. Her husband, he was in some of them.

  Tom Winston : So you found them.

  Sarah Bennett : You knew what they were doing.

  Tom Winston : But Verna McBride's sin wasn't greed or envy. The punishment does not match the crime.

  Sarah Bennett : What are you talking about?

  Tom Winston : I'm talking about the punishment for the sin of anger. To be dismembered, alive.

  Sarah Bennett : This all goes back to the Bible?

  Tom Winston : Hmm. The Bible, Dante, Pope Gregory the Great, St. Thomas Aquinas. Verna McBride paid the price of her sin with her life. So if I were you, I'd start looking there.

  Sarah Bennett : This person's following in your footsteps, finishing what you started. Why would you want to help stop it?

• Tom Winston : Back already. Something happen?

  Sarah Bennett : You know what happened. Are you behind this? Is it the work of one of your protégés?

  Tom Winston : No.

  Sarah Bennett : Really? 'Cause he was dressed exactly the same way that you were dressed the night you murdered my parents. Don't tell me you didn't plan this.

  Tom Winston : I don't receive visitors here, except for you and the occasional cop or lawyer, and of course, my religious counsel.

  Sarah Bennett : What about e-mail? Regular mail?

  Tom Winston : I don't send mail. Most of the mail I do get, I don't read. Never had an e-mail account. Warden can verify all this if you don't believe me.

  Sarah Bennett : Then who's behind this?

  Tom Winston : Who? I have no idea. But I might be able to help you figure out why. First question I'd ask is why did Verna McBride deserve to die?

  Sarah Bennett : She didn't.

  Tom Winston : [laughing]  Sarah, Sarah. If you're gonna catch him, or her...

  Sarah Bennett : Who said anything about catching?

  Tom Winston : ..then you're gonna have to start thinking like him.
