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.

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!
Kalina: It doesn't seem to like you much either. Wonder why.
Rafkin: If you have something to say, just say it.
