A scene from Poltergeist 1982
Mr. Teague

One of your children was born in your house, huh?

Steve

Carol Anne.

Mr. Teague

I understand that she's missed a lot of school...I didn't see her.

Steve

She's around.

Mr. Teague

Listen, I wonder if you'd mind if I asked you a question? Are you thinking about leaving Cuesta Verde?...How's that spot for a bay window, huh?

Steve

Yeah, well, it's pretty nice if you're living up here, but uh, not so great down there in the valley havin' to look at a bunch of homes cutting into the hillside.

Mr. Teague

But you don't have to live in the valley anymore.

Steve

What are you saying?

Mr. Teague

We're starting Phase Five right here where we're standing. All of this can be your master bedroom suite. That can be your view. Interested?

Steve

Oh, Mr. Teague, you know, that's a generous offer. I'm just not a developer.

Mr. Teague

You're responsible for 42 percent of sales. That's almost half of everything down there. Almost 70 million dollars worth of dwelling and properties. Now that's a whole generation of security that nobody can put a price-tag on. Now look, I know we should have made you a full partner three years ago. Well, I don't want to lose you now.
