Dennis Rafkin

I'm getting my ass out of the big glass house!

Dennis Rafkin

In case you haven't noticed, I'm a bit of a freak! I get within 10 feet of anything dead, and I go into seizures. I touch anyone and a whole lifetime of shit just flashes in front of my eyes! So yeah, I'm a little depraved!

Dennis Rafkin
[As Arthur begins to descend down the basement stairs]

What are you doing? What did I say? Did I say there was a petting zoo downstairs? No! There are ghosts downstairs, Arthur!

Dennis Rafkin

Hey Glass Family Robinson! You're wasting your breath! This is ectobar glass, it's soundproof.

[Seeing that several of the ghost cell doors are now open]

What the hell? Give me those! [Takes Maggie's glasses] Let me see. Why are these open? I was down here before. They weren't open. [The Hammer spikes the ectoplasmic wall frame with his hammer] Oh, God! I hate it when they do that!

Maggie

Do what?

Dennis Rafkin

They wait for your to stick your face right up against the glass! And then give you a big, fat BOO!

Rafkin

Oh. Oh boy.

Maggie

What?

Rafkin

Uh, that's the symbol of The Jackal.

Maggie

What's The Jackal?

Rafkin

The Jackal is the Charlie Manson of ghosts and if The Jackal's out, screw the kid! We gotta get out of this basement!

Maggie
[The Angry Princess walks toward Maggie with a butcher knife]

Where? I can't see shit without the glasses, idiot!

Rafkin

...Well, I can see. And I think you should go this way. Go, go, go, go! [Ạs they run down another hallway]

Rafkin

There are ghosts in the basement!

Maggie
[Points down]

In this basement?

Rafkin

Of course in this basement! What is it with you people? If it were next door, I wouldn't give a shit!

Rafkin
[Psychically probes the junkyard, then yells out in pain]

You son of a bitch! You said he only killed nine people! There's over forty victims here!

Cyrus

Nine when he was alive. He's added a few since then.

Rafkin

I know this is gonna sound completely whacked, but just- just stay with me, okay? I used to hunt displaced spiritual energies with your uncle.

Arthur

I'm sorry?

Rafkin

Uhh, P.K. agents. Revenants. Uh, uh, uh - Like wraiths. Wraiths? Do you have any idea what I'm talking about?

Arthur
[Chuckling nervously and shaking his head “no”]

Uhh...

Rafkin

That's okay - that's okay. I'll do it the easy way. Ghosts. I used to hunt ghosts with your uncle Cyrus.

Arthur
[after a long pause]

Goats?

Rafkin

GHOSTS! Ghosts! Goddammit, listen to me!

Arthur

I told them not to leave this spot.

Rafkin

What do you expect? They're kids.

Arthur

Well, thank you, Dr. Phil.

Rafkin

I hate this job.

Kalina

It doesn't seem to like you much either. Wonder why.

Rafkin

If you have something to say, just say it.

Kalina

Oh okay then...why don't we start with: This is all your goddamn fault!!! If you didn't catch them we wouldn't be running from them now would we?!

Rafkin

It's his uncle that built the damn house!

Kalina

Yeah, but you helped him! How could you help him without knowing what he was doing?

Rafkin

I had my reasons.

Kalina

Money, you parasite! You stole people's souls for money. How depraved is that?

Rafkin

If you hadn't noticed. I'm a little bit of a freak! I come within ten feet of anything dead I go into seizures. I touch somebody and a whole life full of shit flashes in front of my eyes; alright so yeah I'm depraved and Cyrus was my friend and he accepted me so...

Kalina

He didn't accept you, you're so pathetic! He used you!

Arthur

Shut up, both of you. Cut him some slack. What difference does it make?

Kalina

You didn't tell him, did you?

Arthur

Oh god, tell me what, what now?

Kalina

About the fourth ghost.

Rafkin

No, don't do this. I didn't tell him. Don't do this.

Kalina

He has a right to know!

Rafkin

What about the fourth ghost?

Kalina

St. Luke's hospital, six months ago.

Arthur

You're saying my wife's spirit is trapped in this house?

Rafkin

I didn't know you. I didn't know her. I didn't know she had a husband.

Arthur

Why in God's name? Why? Tell me why her!

Rafkin

I don't know why. Cyrus handpicked them all, including your wife. When I found out who you were, God, I've been trying to help you.

Arthur

You call this help? She's right, this is all your goddamn fault!

Ben Moss

Now he's gonna tell you that Cyrus owed him money.

Rafkin

He did owe me money. He owed me a shit load of money!

Rafkin

Quite a place you've got.

Kathy

Yeah. We're moving in!

Arthur
[Holds up key]

Well... one step at a time. [Inserts key in door, opens it and enters]

Bobby

Dad! You broke it!

Kathy

Bobby. Give it a rest.

Rafkin

S-stop!

Maggie

W-what??

Rafkin

D-don't move! Don't speak! Somehow....we are behind enemy lines. [First Born Son approaches them] Hey little guy. [Holds up hand] How?

Maggie

I don't think you should be doing that!

Rafkin

Shut up!

Maggie

YOU shut up! You're the one who keeps pissing him off!
