Focus Beyond the Physical Realm

Subway Ghost: [Taps his forehead] ...What the hell are you doing? You're trying to push that with your finger. You can't push it with your finger! You're dead! It's all in your mind. The problem with you is that you still think you're real. You think you're wearing those clothes? You think you're crouched on that floor? Bullshit! You ain't got a body no more, son! It's all up here now! You want to move something, you got to move it with your mind! You got to focus, you hear what I'm sayin'?

Sam: How? How do you focus?

Subway Ghost: I don't know how you focus! You just focus!

Sam: How did you do that?

Subway Ghost: You take all your emotions! All your pain, all your love, all your passion, all your rage! Just push it all the way down into the pit of your stomach! And then let it explode, like a reactor! Pow!

Spirits and Their Unfinished Business

Oda Mae: He's stuck, that's what it is. He's in between worlds. You know it happens sometimes that the spirit gets yanked out so fast that the essence still feels it has work to do here.

Sam: Would you stop rambling?

Oda Mae: I don't think I'm rambling, I'm just answering the question. He's got a attitude now.

Sam: I don't have an attitude.

Oda Mae: Yes, you do have an attitude. If you didn't have an attitude, you would not have raised your voice at me now, would you?

Sam: God dammit...

Oda Mae: Don't you "God dammit" me. Don't you take the Lord's name in vain with me. I don't take that!

Sam: Would you relax?

Oda Mae: No, you relax, you're the dead guy!
