- Kiki: Sometimes a camera sees more than the naked eye. Some Indian tribes hated to have their pictures taken because they thought the camera captured your soul. And maybe they were right. Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I call this story, The Tale of the Captured Souls.
- Gary: OK, Eric, born April 28. That means you're exactly - 5,450 days, 17 hours, 15 minutes, and 37 seconds old. So - what've you been *doing* all this time?
- Eric: Waiting for Kiki.
- Kristen: Where'd she go?
- Eric: [grinning] Must be nature calling.
- [a flash and clicking noise startles him]
- Eric: What the - ?
- Frank: [several more occur, with the last one appearing to be aimed for him] Hey, it's a flasher.
- Kiki: Gotcha!
- [comes over and gives everybody a photo]
- Kristen: Ew, gross, my eyes are all red!
- Eric: I look 5,000 *years* old, not 5,000 *days*!
- Kiki: What you see's what you get, old man.
- Peter Kirlan III: You don't know what you're doing.
- Danny Sellman: I know what you're doing. You're stealing other peoples' souls so that you can stay young. How old are you really? Eighty? Ninety?
- Peter Kirlan III: Don't be foolish, Danielle, I'm offering you eternal youth!
- Danny Sellman: You're a twisted, old man!
- Peter Kirlan III: I am a scientist!
- Danny Sellman: You're a monster!
- Old Man: Danny.
- Danny Sellman: Peter?
- Old Man: Goodbye, Danny. I'm going out back now, to join my family. It's been far too long. Enjoy your youth, while you can.
- Danny Sellman: [finds a camera in the medicine cabinet mirror] Dad, come here quick! Dad! Look, there's something really weird going on here.
- Doug Sellman: It's just the old wiring.
- Danny Sellman: In a mirror?
- Danny Sellman: [looking at the tombstones in a graveyard] Peter Kirlan the Third, born 1907. No date. He could still be alive.
- Peter Kirlan III: This must be your lovely daughter, Danielle.
- Danny Sellman: Uh, yeah. That's right. Danny.
- Danny Sellman: 21 men, 15 women, 34 kids, 10 dogs?
- Peter Kirlan III: So you found our little plot?
- Danny Sellman: Who are you? What do you think you're doing to us?
- Peter Kirlan III: You were right. It's all done with mirrors but you have cleverly managed to avoid. After tonight, you'll be all alone just like me. You can stay on in the house with me if you like. We can be friends you and me.
- Danny Sellman: What do you mean I'll be all alone?
- Peter Kirlan III: Your parents are checking out tonight.
- Danny Sellman: What?
- Peter Kirlan III: Oh yes! They've entered the final phase. It won't be long now.
- Danny Sellman: You leave my parents alone!
- Peter Kirlan III: Why should I, Danielle? We can be young forever.
- Danny Sellman: You're crazy!
- Peter Kirlan III: No! I'm very, very smart. But if you won't join me, I'll have to use you too.
- [Danny takes his picture which temporarily blinds him and runs off]
- Peter Kirlan III: It's too late! You don't have any time!
