Abby Yates

• (upset about her order) I'm just looking for a reasonable ratio of wontons to soup, this is madness!
• We just gave a ghost a nuke. We should probably run!
• Have you seen a class 4 semi-anchored entity anywhere in the vicinity?
• It's really easy sit there and be the naysayer when you don't actually do anything.
• (about Rowan's device) I'm smelling both electrical discharge and isotopic decay.
• There's a bigger picture at hand here. These ghosts can possess the human form.

Patty Tolan

• [about Rowan's huge transformation] What part of "small and friendly" did he not understand?!
• [turns around to the see the mannequin] Was that there before? Please don't answer. [mannequin looks at her] I SAID DON'T ANSWER!
• [searching the subway tunnel] It smells like burnt baloney and regrets down here.
• [after tossing phantom on to the subway train] I guess he's going to Queens. He's going to be the third scariest thing on that train.
• [enter a room full of mannequins] Okay, room full of nightmares.
• [before slapping Rowan's ghost out of Abby] GET OUTTA MY FRIEND, GHOST! THE POWER OF PATTY COMPELS YOU!
• Up above us was the old New York prison. It's the first place in New York that they electrocuted people. I'm telling you, it used to take so long that they just be like, 'Shoot 'em! We using too much electricity.'"
• [after listening to earlier recordings] I heard something really weird. What's 'Zuul'?
• I'm joining the club. You guys are really smart about this science stuff, but I know New York and I can borrow a car from my uncle.

Jillian Holtzmann

• (eating Pringles) Just try saying no to these salty parabolas!
• (while hunting a ghost) Come out, come out, wherever you are...
• You guys, this is exactly how I pictured my death!
• (trying to shut down Rowan's device) I would have used aluminum but I'm crazy.

Erin Gilbert

• Kevin? That's a manly name! My name's Erin. With an E... for Every... thing you want.
• Proton guns are all well and good, but sometimes you need the Swiss Army.
• (surrounded by giant ghosts) I'm not good in a fight.
• (running) Books can't fly and neither can babies!
• Oh my god, you killed a pilgrim!
• (after getting slimed) That stuff went everywhere, by the way. In every crack. Very hard to wash off.
• Someone is creating a device that amplifies paranormal activity and we might be the only ones who can stop it.

Others

• Tour Guide: (to his group) The Aldridge Mansion is the only 19th century home in New York City preserved both inside and out. At the time of its construction, it was one of the most elegant homes in existence featuring every luxury including a face bidet and an anti-Irish security fence.

• Tour Guide: (to his group) Now, I'm gonna tell you something a little spooky. The morning of October 25, 1894, Sir Aldridge awoke furious when his breakfast was not waiting for him. So, he called to his servants, but none of them responded. Why? Because, during the night, one by one they had each been stabbed to death in their sleep. It was later discovered that they were murdered by his eldest daughter, Gertrude Aldridge. Sir Aldridge once wrote in his diary, 'I know God makes no mistakes, but I believe he may have been drunk when he built Gertrude's personality.'

• Mayor Bradley: Never compare me to the Jaws mayor. Never!

• Rowan North: You shoot like girls!

• Rowan North: Charge the lines, create the vortex, break the barriers.

• Martin Heiss: Why are you pretending to capture ghosts?

• Theater Manager: No one should have to encounter that kind of evil. Except you girls, I think you can handle it.

Jillian Holtzmann: You have the longest arms.

Patty Tolan: (as she's showing them the subway tunnel) That's where I saw that weird sparking thing.

Jillian Holtzmann: What was it?

Erin Gilbert: Uh, it came with the shirt.

Kevin: Would it be okay if I bring my cat to work sometimes? He has major anxiety problems.

Abby Yates: You know what? I would love to let your cat live here with you, but I have a pretty severe cat allergy.
