Bridget: Yeah, and weird s**t like this gets locked away for a reason.
Father Marcus Littleton: [from recording] I would like to present what I believe to be one of the three fabled volumes of Naturum Demento, The Book of the Dead. My tests to date have revealed that its bindings are made of cured human flesh, its passages and etchings inked in blood.

Father Marcus Littleton: [from recording] Rejected by the elders of our church, myself, Canon Damien Shanahan, and Father Hugo Cortez have been working in secret to translate The Book of the Dead’s myriad writings and glyphs. Its pages contain ancient rituals and incantations, the recitation of which proclaim to allow contact with supernatural forces that exist beyond the thin veneer of our known world.

Deadite Ellie: What’s happening to me, sweetheart?
Bridget: I don’t know, Mom.
Deadite Ellie: I do. I’m free now. Free from all you titty-sucking parasites.
Deadite Ellie: [after she hurts Bridget] Let me kiss it better.
Deadite Ellie: [demonic voice] Who wants to rot next? Eeny. Meeny. Miny! You.

Bridget: This is your fault!
Beth: [as she stops Bridget and Danny fighting] You don’t turn on each other. Ever.
Danny: [referring to the old vinyls] I took these too. There’s this creepy priest on them, reading passages from the book. It’s like a weird dark prayer. And when he spoke the words… Bridget’s right. This is all my fault.
Kassie: What’s wrong with you, Mom?
Deadite Ellie: I was just feeling sad about me and your dad. But he’s here now. He came home to see us. We’re getting back together. We love each other. Isn’t that right, my darling? And we love you too.
Deadite Ellie: Open up and let us in, Kassie. We can be a big, happy family again.
Kassie: You don’t look so good, Mom.
Deadite Ellie: Oh. Nothing a big old hug and kiss from you won’t fix.
