Ramsley quotes from The Haunted Mansion (2003)

View Quote I am Ramsley.

View Quote The storm has flooded the road. There will be no leaving the mansion tonight!

View Quote (to Jim) May I confide in you? The master is not well. He must leave this house, Mr. Evers, he must move on.

View Quote (about his job as a butler) Attending to every detail. Understanding priorities. And, above all, knowing one's place!

View Quote No, Mr. Evers, I am a rational man.

View Quote Now, for the last time, good night, Mr. Evers.

View Quote (last words) YES!!! I tried to protect you. All these years, I've sacrificed for you. But what would you understand of sacrifice, duty, or honor? You "loved" her. Well, damn you! Damn you all to HELL!!!

View Quote Jim Evers: [firmly] Why'd you kill her [Elizabeth]?
Ramsley: Because the master would not listen to reason. He had everything in the world, and yet he was willing to throw it all away for love. I did tell him it would end badly.
Jim Evers: You're a real cold dude.
Ramsley: No, Mr. Evers, I am a rational man. It was my responsibility to the house, my duty, sir, to see to it that the boy did not make a foolish error in judgment. Running away with that girl would have destroyed this house. It would have destroyed everything, and I could not stand by and watch it all fall to ruin.
Megan Evers: [encouraging her father] Punch his face in, Dad!
Jim Evers: [angrily] Yeah, but first, I'm gonna talk to his master.
Ramsley: The master must be left alone. Edward and his love will be reunited, and this curse will be broken.
Jim Evers: [shocked] But that's not her. That's my wife.
Ramsley: And what she sees in you, I'll never know. But that is of little importance now. The only thing that matters is that the master's pain must end, and it will end tonight. The curse will be broken, and we can all finally move on.
Jim Evers: [sternly] Alright, that's it, man. Where's my wife?
Ramsley: Getting ready for her wedding, of course.
Jim Evers: What wedding? He can't marry her. He's dead, and she's not.
Ramsley: True, but that can be easily corrected. Life, I'm afraid, is such a delicate state.
Jim Evers: Hey, man, if you put one finger on my wife, I swear, I'll kill you! [Jim launches punches at Ramsley, but passes through the ghostly butler]
Ramsley: How wonderful. You're going to kill a ghost.
Michael Evers: Leave him alone!
Megan Evers: Stop it! [Ramsley locks Megan and Michael inside a small trunk]
Jim Evers: Let them go! [He lunges at Ramsley, but passes through him once again. Jim angrily puts his foot down with Ramsley] You're gonna let my kids out of here, you're gonna take me to my wife, and you're gonna let us out of here right now!
Ramsley: You want out? Fine. Let me show you out. [Ramsley grabs Jim by his throat, and he hoists him up in the air] Now, for the last time, good night, Mr. Evers. [He throws Jim outside of the mansion window, breaking all the glass in the process.]

View Quote Master Gracey: [he has just read Elizabeth's real letter] What's the meaning of this?
Ramsley: Must we continue to listen to the ramblings of a lunatic?
Master Gracey: But it is written in her hand!
Jim: Yeah, it's written in her hand. Explain that, Ramsley!
Master Gracey: Well?!
Ramsley: [after a short silence] Your union was unacceptable. I tried to warn you, but you wouldn't listen.
Master Gracey: So you killed her.
Ramsley: I told you it would be a mistake to run away with that girl.
Master Gracey: But I loved her! Was love my mistake?!
Ramsley: YES!!! I tried to protect you. All these years, I've sacrificed for you. But what would you understand of sacrifice, duty, or honor? You "loved" her. Well, damn you! Damn you all to HELL!!!

View Quote [Sara has denied her identity as Elizabeth]
Master Gracey: [on the verge of tears] She doesn't remember! It can't be her!
Ramsley: It is her, sir. The gypsy woman prophesized her return and now the time has come. You'd had best get ready.
Master Gracey: But she doesn't remember!
Ramsley: In time she will, sir. I assure you, she will.

View Quote [during the wedding service]
Ramsley: If anybody has objections...
[Jim bursts in]
Jim Evers: Yeah, I got a few objections!
