Quotes5

  • Dr. Brooke Powell: Why do you do that?
  • Carrigan Burke: What?
  • Dr. Brooke Powell: You tell your old war stories and you make yourself sound like an old man.
  • Carrigan Burke: Comes with the territory. We age in dog years.
  • Dr. Brooke Powell: Is everything alright?
  • Carrigan Burke: If it was I wouldn't be here.
  • Eric Bowen: What happened?
  • Dr. Brooke Powell: That, Mr. Bowen... that's Maddy's way out. But I think we're gonna need some help in getting her there.
  • Amy Bowen: What kind of help?
  • Dr. Brooke Powell: Have you ever heard of Carrigan Burke?
  • Kendra Bowen: No effing way.
  • Amy Bowen: Do you have kids, Mr. Burke?
  • Carrigan Burke: Sadly, no. My wife didn't think it was a good idea given our line of work.
  • Dr. Brooke Powell: It wasn't just the work.
  • Amy Bowen: Oh! The two of you were...
  • Dr. Brooke Powell: Briefly.
  • Carrigan Burke: We were young and stupid.
  • Dr. Brooke Powell: Only one of us was stupid.
  • Carrigan Burke: Ah, don't be so hard on yourself. I was irresistible back then.
  • Dr. Brooke Powell: I'm gonna check the readings upstairs.
  • Carrigan Burke: And she goes, just like she fled our marriage. Straight into the arms of academia. Safe, stable academia. Still misses me, though.
  • Dr. Brooke Powell: No, I don't.
  • Carrigan Burke: You do, a little.
  • Dr. Brooke Powell: No, not even a little bit.
  • Carrigan Burke: She forgets I can sense these things. I have special powers, you know.
  • Dr. Brooke Powell: They're not that special.
  • Dr. Brooke Powell: From my experience this doesn't seem to be a classic haunting. What you have... here, is probably closer to a poltergeist intrusion.
  • Eric Bowen: What's the difference?
  • Dr. Brooke Powell: Ghosts usually appear as harmless apparitions whereas poltergeists... they're noisy, they lash out, they're violent, they move objects. It comes, and then it can just suddenly go away.
