Quotes 

  • Laurel : Barratry.

    Laurel : Arson, at sea.

  • Anna : They say five have left already.

    Miss Madrigal : Really?

    Anna : There must be something terribly frightening in this house!

  • [first lines] 

    Anna : Excuse me. Would Mrs. St. Maugham live here?

    Maitland : She would.

    Anna : [pointing to the newspaper in her hand]  I'm sorry, I came in answer to the advertisement.

    Maitland : There's no need to be sorry... at least not yet. Come in please.

    Anna : [entering the house]  Ooh, goodness me, it's very grand, isn't it.

    Maitland : Built like a fort. It has to be.

    Anna : [grabbing Maitland's arm]  Pardon me, but are there many others?

    Maitland : You're number six.

    Anna : [shocked]  So many?

    Maitland : Numbers one to five have already left... or rather fled.

    Laurel : Nothing less than a double, eh?

  • Anna : Such lovely weather for the beach.

    Laurel : If you don't mind sharks. I told a former governess of mine there were sharks. She said I made them up. One day she was eaten by one. Ow, poor shark.
