Quotes 

• Grant Pritchard : I don't believe it, Claire. The Incredible Hulk is going to the opening night of the symphony and I'm not. And I had season tickets for ten years!

  Claire Pritchard : We can still go.

  Grant Pritchard : I don't think they hold seats for you after you're dead, dear.

  Claire Pritchard : I guess you're right. Even if we did go, someone would just sit on us.

• Liz Dooley : I never would have thought you'd come home with tickets to the symphony.

  Mike Dooley : Hey, Liz, we're living in a fancy neighborhood now! We gotta start going to places where there are people like us.

  Grant Pritchard : Then you should have gotten tickets to a sewage spill.

• Grandpa Jack Garrett : Do you folks plan to be here all evening?

  Grant Pritchard : No, we're expecting a call from Chuck Woolery. It's supernatural night on the Love Connection.

• Grant Pritchard : I wouldn't babysit for that kid under any circumstances you can imagine!

  Grandpa Jack Garrett : What if I paid you a buck an hour?

  Grant Pritchard : Thanks, but after you're dead, there's so few things left to buy.

• Grandpa Jack Garrett : Do it as a favor. You got nothing but time.

  Grant Pritchard : Oh, no. I'm not falling for that one. First it's, "Will you babysit for me, Grant? It's just a little favor." Then it's, "Would you pick up a quart of milk for me, Grant? You're not doing anything." Then you start taking advantage of me. "Could you regrout the bathroom? I've gotta go to Cleveland." Pretty soon, I'm getting postcards from the Italian Riviera. "Bonjourno, Grant, having a wonderful time! I've just spent all day on a nude beach with a big blonde named Gina. P.S. Don't forget to clean out the crud from the gutters." If you think I'm shoveling muck into a bucket while you're sipping champagne from the slipper of some bimbo in San Remo, forget it!

• Grant Pritchard : Hi. Don't mind me. I'm the dead babysitter.

• Grant Pritchard : What are the odds of a dead person walking into a bus station at five in the morning and getting gum on both his shoes?

• Claire Pritchard : Grant, this guy scares me!

  Grant Pritchard : Well, who do you expect to meet in a bus station at this hour? Papa Smurf?
