Quote #4
LYDIA: Are you the guys hiding out in the attic?
ADAM: We're ghosts!
LYDIA: What do you look like under there?
ADAM: Aren't you scared?
LYDIA: I'm not scared of sheets. Are you gross under there? Are you Night of the Living Dead under there? Like all bloody veins and pus?
ADAM: Night of the what?
LYDIA: Living Dead. It's a movie.
BARBARA: You know, if I had seen a ghost at your age I would have been scared out of my wits.
LYDIA: You're not gross. Why are you wearing sheets?
BARBARA: We're practicing.
ADAM: You can see us without the sheets?
LYDIA: Of course I can see you.
ADAM: Well, how is it that you see us and nobody else can?
LYDIA: I read through that Handbook for the Recently Deceased. It says, "Live people ignore the strange and unusual." I myself am strange and unusual.
We guess ghosts are much less frightening when they look like they stepped out of Laura Ashley and Gap catalogs.
Quote #5
BERNARD: Otho, I didn't realize you were into the supernatural.
OTHO: Well, of course! You remember, after my stint with the Living Theatre. I was one of New York City's leading paranormal researchers, until the bottom dropped out in '72.
BERYL: Paranormal? Is that what they're calling your kind these days?
OTHO: Don't mind her. She's still upset, because somebody dropped a house on her sister.
Otho seems to follow whatever trend is hot at the moment whether it's the paranormal or the decorating biz.
Quote #6
LYDIA: I saw some ghosts.
DELIA: It's a little private joke that Lydia and I share.
LYDIA: It's not a joke.

GRACE: By ghosts?
DELIA: In designer sheets, no less […].
OTHO: Now, Lydia, favor us about your ghosts.
DELIA: No. I am sick of that subject.
OTHO: Oh, Delia, lighten up.
DELIA: I would rather talk about... Day-O!
Delia doesn't want to scare of her classy guests. She doesn't know yet how much they're going to enjoy this haunted dinner party.
