- Amanda Benson: Do I know you?
- Ray: I'm Ray.
- Amanda Benson: You were in our house.
- Ray: I was in your house?
- Amanda Benson: I, I saw you.
- Ray: I haven't been in that house in a long time.
- Josh Benson: In a long time?
- Ray: I used to... live in that house.
- Amanda Benson: You did?
- Ray: When I first moved to Dark Falls.
- Amanda Benson: Well, where do you live now?
- Mr. Benson: The real estate agent did admit, this town has shut down some jobs recently...
- Josh Benson: Ooh, great, we're moving to a place that's totally dead!
- Josh Benson: Dad really needs to do some tree trimming back here. It's so dark.
- Amanda Benson: This whole town seems dark.
- Josh Benson: Hey, Dark Falls.
- Amanda Benson: Yeah, creepy Dark Falls.
- Josh Benson: Creepy, boring Dark Falls.
- Penelope Benson: Oh, is that your husband doing all the sawing?
- Agnes Thurston: Why yes, uh...
- [whispers solemnly]
- Agnes Thurston: ever since the chemical factory closed he practically lives in that workshop of his.
- Penelope Benson: [referring to her decorative wreath] I think it fits in perfectly with the style of house!
- Josh Benson: What style is that, old and rotting?
- Mr. Benson: Josh, enough!
- Amanda Benson: Uh, hi... I'm Amanda, and this is my brother, Josh. We just moved here...
- Jerry: Very glad that you did!
- Compton Dawes: I'm sorry I startled you...
- Penelope Benson: [worried] AMANDA!... Oh, Mr. Dawes!
- [sighs in relief when she sees who the man is]
- Compton Dawes: [apologetic] It was SO restful in the dark, I must've fallen asleep! I'm sorry, I gave your daughter a start... I'm Compton Dawes from Dark Falls Realty.
- Agnes Thurston: [sinisterly] Nice kids... they're gonna love Dark Falls.
- [after a few awkward seconds she and Mrs. Benson both laugh]
- Josh Benson: [sarcastic] Nice weather!
- [the streets of Dark Falls are deserted, depressing and littered with dead leaves. Once-beautiful homes are now decrepit and boarded up with plywood over the windows. Old Dark Falls Realty signs are knocked over in side yards]
- Josh Benson: Where is everybody? Why would anyone wanna live in Dark Falls, anyway?
- Amanda Benson: Maybe they got their houses cheap like we did!
