Then I learned about your parents, and their whole exploration into the afterlife and stuff, and they gave me hope. That maybe life goes on somehow. Maybe my darling dad is still out there somewhere.

[Mary Ellen and Judy look at her]
Daniela Rios: I mean, that’s where all this stuff is. Right, Judy? That’s what you said earlier.
Judy Warren: Oh, um, yeah.
[referring to the artifacts room]
Judy Warren: My dad says that everything in there is either haunted, cursed, or used in some ritualistic practice.

Bob Palmeri: Um, well, you know how I’m the equipments manager for the basketball team?

[they both chuckle]
[as they see Bob singing and playing his guitar outside Judy’s window to woo Mary Ellen]
Judy Warren: Bob’s got balls.
Mary Ellen: Thank you for coming. I actually think it helped Judy a lot. Sorry you didn’t get to see any cobwebs, or hear any creepy music.

Mary Ellen: I don’t know if that’s the best bedtime story.
Judy Warren: Look who my parents are. I’m used to it.
Mary Ellen: Well, the short of it is that he died in a car accident. And the long of it is that Daniela was driving.
Judy Warren: Was it her fault?
Mary Ellen: No. There’s only one person who actually thinks it was her fault.
[after Daniela sneaks back to the artifacts room she sees the spirit of the dad]

[Lorraine gives Daniela the folded up old photo of her with her dad]
