Carrigan Burke : Brooke tells me that this development was built on a cemetery. Right?
Kendra Bowen : Dad, really?
Eric Bowen : Calm down. It's a former cemetery. Former. They moved the bodies a long time ago. They relocated...
Amy Bowen : Yeah, they moved them to a nicer neighborhood.
Carrigan Burke : I don't think that they are. I think that they just told people they moved the cemetery. I think they just moved the headstones.
Amy Bowen : And they left the bodies? Oh, my God.

Amy Bowen : Do you have kids, Mr. Burke?
Carrigan Burke : Sadly, no. My wife didn't think it was a good idea given our line of work.
Dr. Brooke Powell : It wasn't just the work.
Amy Bowen : Oh! The two of you were...

Carrigan Burke : We were young and stupid.
Dr. Brooke Powell : Only one of us was stupid.
Carrigan Burke : Ah, don't be so hard on yourself. I was irresistible back then.

Carrigan Burke : You do, a little.
Dr. Brooke Powell : No, not even a little bit.
Carrigan Burke : She forgets I can sense these things. I have special powers, you know.
Dr. Brooke Powell : They're not that special.
