- Matthew Morgan: They want you dead.
- Victoria Winters: They?
- Matthew Morgan: Ghosts. They want a death.
- Victoria Winters: You don't believe in ghosts. You told me so.
- Matthew Morgan: Didn't till now. Tonight I saw one. Saw the ghost of Mr. Malloy. He told me someone's gonna die at Collinwood tonight. That someone is going to be you.
- Victoria Winters: Mr. Malloy likes me. He wouldn't want me dead.
- Matthew Morgan: The widows would.
- Victoria Winters: Widows?
- Matthew Morgan: They want a third girl. That's why they haunt Collinwood and this house. If I kill you, they'll go away. They'll stop following me. They won't tell everybody about me. I won't be afraid anymore. My whole life I've been afraid. Now I won't be.
- Matthew Morgan: [tugging tight the rope holding Vicky bound to the chair] There! That'll hold ya... till I do what I have to.
- Victoria Winters: What's that?
- Matthew Morgan: I'm going to do what I should have done in the first place. I'm going to kill you.
