The Caretaker Quotes in The Bat Whispers (1930)

Cornelia van Gorder: Who did that?

The Caretaker: I don't know... this house gets on my nerves, they won't let me sleep.

Lizzie Allen: Don't trust him, caretaker means servant... Bat!

Cornelia van Gorder: Who won't let you sleep?

The Caretaker: The ghosts... he slams doors, and there's no one there to slam them... he opens windows, and I can't see nothing... he rolls things down the stairs, and there's no one there to make them roll... that ain't all, he whispers to me, from behind the wall.

[a loud scream is heard]

The Caretaker: Listen, he's here again... stay here long enough, you'll see.

Lizzie Allen: Let's go back to the city.

Cornelia van Gorder: We'll get to the bottom of this. I've sent for detectives.

The Caretaker: Detectives won't do no good. The entire police force won't do no good.

[nervous laugh]

The Caretaker: They can't stop ghosts.

The Caretaker: I don't like that doctor. One look at him would cure anybody!

The Caretaker: Don't mind them and they will not mind you. Convince yourself that you are not hearing the noises.
