Tory: Dad, this book doesn't even have a cover.

[Tory complains about the front yard of the house to her father]

[Nathan starts to laugh at Tory being scared of the house]

Tory: What's so funny?

Nathan Murphy: Well, I just think it's funny the way girls are always afraid of spiders and stuff.

Nathan Murphy: Yeah.

Tory: Well, you know what? Neither am I.

[Nathan laughs]

[Nathan and Tory talk about the O'Grady's]

Nathan Murphy: The O'Grady's collected a lot of junk.

Tory: The O'Grady's?

[Tory looks at the mess of shoes in the kitchen]

Ozzie: You know what? That Leprechaun, he tried to shine my shoes. He said he was a shoemaker.

Tory: You're going to be okay, Ozzie. He didn't get your ear. He just bit it.

[Tory and Ozzie look for a four-leaf clover to kill the Leprechaun]

Tory: Forget it. We're not going to find it.

Ozzie: You can, too. You just got to believe.

Tory: Damn it, Ozzie. I'm so sick of your magic and your stupid fantasies. Okay, it's too late for that now. We don't have time to sit here in a damn clover patch and look for clovers. That thing is going to wake up.

Ozzie: You've lost your faith. But you got to believe. Got to.

Tory: [Tory grabs a patch of clovers out and holds it up, yelling] All right, here, look, here, look. I believe. I believe.

J.D. Reding: First of all, it's not New Mexico. It's North Dakota.

Tory: Like it matters. All I care about is it's not L.A.

[Tory and her father enter down into the old basement]

Tory: Huh. Oh, great. Just when I thought this house couldn't get any worse... an old basement. Well... great place to store all the rocks and pine cones I'm going to find.

J.D. Reding: Okay, it's a little dusty. I admit that. We'll just clean it up a little bit, splash some paint around.

Tory: Oh, God. You'd need to splash some bulldozers around to fix this place up.

[Tory tells her father she can find a hotel nearby]

J.D. Reding: You're making too big a deal out of this, honey. This is a great house, I got a great buy on it.

Tory: Yeah, from who? Dracula? How about I get a hotel somewhere in town and you can come visit... like once a week? Hey, I'll pay for it.

Tory: [sarcastically replies with] Okay, I'll go with that theory.

Tory: Who are you?

Nathan Murphy: Uh, I was a guy carrying some paint thinner.

Nathan Murphy: Wait. Hold on a second. You knock over my paint thinner and you offer me $20

Tory: [Tori pulls out some more cash] Okay. Okay. How about that? Will that do it?

Nathan Murphy: Uh, no. Maybe if you said you were sorry, you know, it might.

Tory: [Tory stares at Nathan before hurrying to leave] Okay here. Keep the change.

Ozzie: [Ozzie tries taking blue paint out of his mouth] Oh, no!

Alex: [Alex laughs to himself] As fashion statements go, blue is not your best color.

Ozzie: Alex, I asked you to hold that ladder steady. Now look what happened!

Nathan Murphy: I'm not even going to ask what happened, really.

Tory: There's a bathroom off the kitchen in there. At least, it looked a little like a bathroom.

Ozzie: [Ozzie looks back at Alex] I don't like blue.

[Nathan volunteers to go in the basement to look for the Leprechaun Ozzie found]

Nathan Murphy: [Nathan picks up a stick] Hey... okay? Just in case?

Tory: I better go with you. Just in case.

Ozzie: Uh, N-Nathan... Nathan... I don't think that stick's gonna be big enough. W-wait. Wait for me, I'm coming. Just in case.

[Tory falls after something touches her leg from under the truck]

Tory: [Nathan comes to check on Tory] I thought that was you rubbing my leg.

Nathan Murphy: And you let me?

Tory: That's not the point. Something was rubbing my leg, like caressing it. And it-it ran off over there.

J.D. Reding: It's probably just an old possum, honey.

Tory: No, dad. That was not an animal. I know what it feels like when a man caresses my leg.

J.D. Reding: You do?

[Tory and Nathan talk at the diner]

Nathan Murphy: You should have some meat loaf. I've got plenty, really.

Tory: Oh, no. No. Do you know what that is?

Nathan Murphy: [Tory points to his plate] Yeah, it's meat loaf.

Tory: No. That's cut-up dead cow. Okay, and that's if you're lucky in this place. See, I don't eat meat and I don't kill living things. I feel very strongly about that.

Nathan Murphy: Really?

Tory: Really.

Tory: [Nathan reaches under the dining table to pull off Tory's tennis shoe] What are you... Nathan, what are you doing?

Nathan Murphy: Cut-up dead cow - That's what your shoe is, you know?

Tory: Give me my shoe.

Tory: [Nathan holds the shoe in front of him staring to see if he can see a cow in it] Nathan, give me my shoe back!

[Nathan talks to Tory about what bedrooms to sleep in]

[Nathan investigates where the sound of a mysterious bell is coming from]

Tory: We're, like, really scared.

[Tory takes the shotgun from Nathan to go and get the gold]

Tory: [Tory cocks the shotgun] Nope.

Ozzie: [Tory leaves to go outside, as Ozzie mumbles] Watch out for those teeth.

Tory: Stop twisting my arm! People will think we're married!

Tory: Don't worry, honey - isn't that what you said just before the tent went up in flames?
