The People Under the Stairs - A Tense Ultimatum in a Dangerous Situation
Fool:
Hey!
Fool:
You shoot me, and you die too, man. And you better believe it. Don't be crazy now. There's enough dynamite back there to blow you sky high. Not the best place to store it, in my opinion. But there it was. Now just put the gun down.
Fool:
Put the gun down. I don't wanna kill you, but I will cuz I don't like you much anyway.
Fool:
I'm tired of fucking around! So either put the gun down now, or kiss your ass goodbye, boy!

The People Under the Stairs - Secrets of the Cellar Revealed
Alice:
People have tried.
Fool: [''Alice nods'']
You mean, the people in the cellar? Who are they?
Alice:
Mommy and Daddy looked a long time to find the perfect boy child, but each one they found turned out bad. Some saw things they weren't supposed to, others heard too much, others talked back. Daddy cut out the bad parts, and put the boys in the cellar, one by one. They get flashlights and food of some kind. I suppose they're happy in their own way.
Fool:
Yeah right. What about you? How come they haven't put you in the cellar?
Alice:
I do not see, or hear, or speak evil. It's the only way.
Fool: [''Hears screaming from within the walls'']
What is that?
Alice:
What?
Fool:
That yelling! What is that?
Alice:
Well, that's Roach.
Fool:
Roach?
Alice:
That's who Daddy's hunting. See, Daddy hates Roach because he got out of the cellar and into the walls, and now Daddy can't find him.

The People Under the Stairs - A Warning About a Dangerous Family
Grandpa Booker:
Meanwhile, you be careful. That brother and sister act you mess with are evil, plain and simple.
Fool:
Wait a minute, brother and sister?
Grandpa Booker:
Brother and sister. Tailend of the craziest family you ever heard of. Every generation more insane than the one before it. Started out as a family running a funeral home, selling cheap coffins for expensive prices. Then they got their fingers into real estate, started making a lot of money taking over people's homes. The more money they got, the greedier they got. The greedier they got, the crazier they got. All sorts of rumors about what's going on in that place. Never proved it because the police never took it serious. But believe me, when I was a kid, none of us ever walked past that house.
