Quote from Claire in The Last Halloween
Claire: Aw, that is cute. You tried to scare me for Halloween. Phil: How in the world did that not frighten you? Some of this is my actual blood. I nicked myself putting it on! Claire: Sweetie, you don't know the first thing about scaring people. It's all about plausibility. And you were awfully casual for a guy who just got an ax in the chest. You know, if you really wanted to scare me, you should've waited until I opened the closet and found you hanging by a necktie. Phil: Excuse me! I killed myself?! Claire: Yeah. Totally plausible. I mean, you've been so happy all these years, the other shoe is bound to drop, right? By the way, I am not married to the whole necktie thing. It could be, um... shotgun or poison or a power drill to the eye... Phil: Stop. Stop! Now you're scaring me. Claire: That's how you do it. Bam!
