Otho Quotes:

  • Bernard: Otho, I didn't realize you were into the supernatural.

    Otho: Well, of course! You remember, after my stint with the Living Theatre. I was one of New York City's leading paranormal researchers, until the bottom dropped out in '72.

    Beryl: [cynically] Paranormal - is that what they're calling your kind these days?

    Otho: Don't mind her. She's still upset, because somebody dropped a house on her sister.

    [Delia laughs]

  • Otho: [while Lydia shows them the attic] Fabulous. 'Otho Fenlock's Locked Door Ghosts' Probably committed suicide up there. I'm totally enchanted.

    Delia: They're in there? They must live like animals.

    Charles: It's locked. How'd they get in?

    Delia: [bangs on the door] Open this door, you dead people, or we'll bust it down and we'll drag you out by the ropes you hang yourselves with!

    Lydia: Shh! They didn't commit suicide.

    Delia: It doesn't matter. Lydia, I have a chance to teach you something here: you have got to take the upper hand in all situations or people, whether they're dead or alive, will walk all over you.

  • Otho: [enters a room with Barbara holding up Adam's severed head] Ugh. Deliver me from L.L. Bean.

  • Lydia: They don't wanna come down.

    Delia: Charles...

    Otho: Why not?

    Lydia: I think the reason is, is that they were trying to scare you away, and you didn't get scared.

    Delia: Please, they're dead. It's a little late to be neurotic.

  • Otho: What happened to these people?

    Delia: They died. Oh, look, an indoor outhouse.

  • Otho: Oh, you family types, you got other things to worry about. Maxie Dean's coming up here tonight. You got to figure out a way to sell these ghosts. I can only do so much.

    Charles: What are you gonna do, Otho, viciously rearrange their enviroment?

    Otho: I know just as much about the supernatural as I do about interior design.

  • Otho: I have a feeling there's something very interesting behind that door.

    Delia: [sarcastically] Yeah. Ghosts. The people who died in this house and they want us OUT of here. Well, let's do them a favor...
