Voices From Beyond: The Favorite Ghostly Quotes Thread

[SoMuchTV]

It feels like we’ve hijacked the episode thread enough so I’ll start this one. Open to suggestions for a better name.

There are so many good quotes (and thanks, SoMuchTV for starting this!). Just off the top of my head:

Alberta: "oh, nooooo, don't make me hate my own face, Todd, ya creepy nut!"

[Cress]

I like the Cholera guy in the 2nd episode, with Jay trying to fix the water heater

"I know we're dead, but he's trying to kill us!"

[gatopretoNYC]

"You're talking about Alexander Hamilton? Did that little twerp become famous?"

[emma675]

Thorfinn: "What is personal massager?" 

🤣🤣🤣

And because I rewatched it tonight:

Sam: "look, I'm not crazy or at least I'm not lying. And I can prove it. Thor, lights!"

Thor: "Sam, chair!"

Sam: "no, get the lights."

Thor: "oh, right, yes."

From "Jay's Sister"

[PETE] I've had it up to my arrow with all of you...

[CrazyDog]

Because I adore snarky Isaac...

"Actually the museum is in my garage."

"Ah, as all the best museums are."

Lol, his delivery is the best.

[emma675]

Sam: "Hetty, why would you marry that guy?

Hetty: "My father needed to close a land deal and I was deemed his most comely daughter. Damn Margaret and her mustache, she dodged a bullet."

 

Trevor: "It's not important, but how hot was his maid?"

Sass and Thor behind Hetty's back: knowing nods, thumbs up, Sass mouthing "very hot."

 

Hetty: "No, you cannot leave us! Just when I finally learned to look beyond the hideous pants and see the wonderful person inside the hideous pants!"

 

Hetty: "Trevor, go to hell."

Trevor (high pitched scream): " Why, why, why would you pick me, what is wrong with you?!? That was so scary!"

Hetty: "Oh, calm down. "

Possibly my favorite bit so far. 😁

[emma675]

In the episode where Jay's sister visits and Sam is trying to convince her the ghosts exist. 

Sam: "Isaac."

Isaac: "Hmm, what? Oh, you know what, no, I'll pass, thank you."

Sam: "Isaac, please!"

Isaac: "Fine."

Jay holds his nose as Isaac passes through Bela.

Bela: "Ugh, that is nasty!"

Isaac: " Okay, it's no picnic for me either."

The writers are so good and the cast is so good at executing their lines.

[emma675]

Sass about to tell his story at the end: "I don't know why I'm nervous, you're all idiots."

[Browncoat]

"Maaaaybe..."

[emma675]

Sam descends the stairs looking gorgeous as Stephanie and Trevor watch.

Stephanie: "Are you kidding me right now? On my prom night?"

Sam and Jay kiss as Trevor looks on longingly. 

Stephanie: " You know, we could have what they have."

Trevor: "No." Flees offscreen. 

While Jay is trying to plug in Alexa and Hetty hovers behind him.

Jay: "Back up, parasite!"

[madmax]

"Getting sucked off at prom?  I suppose that could happen."

Just watched The Vault again...

Must everything be a table?
 

[KarenX]

Anything Nigel says in his ridiculously affected accent but…

Well, I guess I am not going to fife myself out, am I?

…is my favorite.

I'm binging the series since I only saw a handful of episodes here and there (just watched Ghost Writer on my lunch break). I love Nigel and his fifer.

Nigel's voice reminds me of King George III in Hamilton. (Shh...don't tell Isaac.)

 

From Ghost Writer:
You got this. Just, uh, imagine us all in our underwear.
I wish I was wearing underwear.
We all do, Trevor.

Rebecca Wisocky's delivery just kills it!

[emma675]

I was rewatching the Trevor's pants episode and I missed some hilarious lines when his friends were freaking out over his death.

David: "He's dead! What the hell, this is nuts! Maybe we call 911?"

Ari: "I am like 70% cocaine right now, we are not calling the cops."

Third friend: "I can't handle going to jail!"

David: "I can't handle going to the Sheraton!"

🤣

Also rewatching earlier this evening, in my case, the episode "Pete's Wife", and I love this exchange: 

Sam: But Facebook is like a... It's a website that's like a bulletin board where people talk about their lives, they share photos...

Isaac: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Am I to understand that this is some sort of modern-day publishing instrument from which anyone can spread their message?

Sam: Well, yeah.

Isaac: What a tool for disseminating truth! What a boon to democracy!

Oh, Isaac...:D. 

[SoMuchTV]

From s2 e9 (2022 Christmas episode)

Sam:  …and you don’t have a body.

Trevor: well I’m still a person. 

Sas:  are you? Are we?

Trevor: I actually don’t know. 

Hetty: that is a complicated question.

Hetty: Let me ride you as you get sucked off!

Pete: Welcome to another day in Hell, bitch.

Also, Trevor's, "Who are we to judge all these nines and tens?" That's a well-written joke, lol.

Bumping this thread because every time I see someone post their favorite line in an episode thread, I want to reply,  ooh, ooh, you should post that here!

Thanks for bumping this thread. Even if the Emmy dudes overlooked Ghosts, we can celebrate bits of their great writing here.

From 2.3 "Jay's Friends"
(after Flower reads aloud to the group the email from her brother to Sam about how much he appreciated learning that Flower did not die hating him) 

• [PETE TO SASS] And that, my friend, is why I still look at sunsets.

[PaulE]

Hetty:  Indeed. Avoid relationship conflict at all cost.  Bottle it up.  Allow the resentment to fester until the hatred becomes so ever-present you must turn to the sweet, sweet milk of Mother Morphine to numb the pain.

Not that she'd know anything about that, of course.

[PaulE]

Forgot these:

Nigel:  Sometimes it takes a meaningless Christmas liaison or screaming obscenities with a pervy Puritan to realize what you've had all along.

Something we all should remember in our relationships.

And:

Isaac:  Nigel, can we get back to our walk?  I'm not interested in watching ants or having your ex-lover stare at me weirdly.

Jenkins:  This is just how I stare; I know of no other way.

I have to admit, he's sort of got a point there.  I'm not sure there's a non-weird way to stare at someone.

Another classic Hetty-ism: "No one has more to lose than the rich. Yet no one ever looks out for us."
