'''Delia:''' It doesn't matter. ''[Lydia rolls her eyes]'' Lydia, I have a chance to teach you something here: you have got to take the upper hand in all situations or people, whether they're dead or alive, will walk all over you.

* Delia's rant when her husband Charles tries to stop her from renovating the humble home:
-->'''Delia''': I'm here with you. I will live with you in this hellhole, but I must express myself. If you don't let me GUT OUT this house and MAKE IT MY OWN, I will go '''INSANE, and I WILL TAKE YOU WITH ME!'''\\
(''Ortho just stands there smirking'')\\
'''Charles''' (horrified): Uh well you know, maybe the house could use a ''little'' remodeling. Uh... But, why don't you just leave this room alone, okay?\\
'''Delia''' (sweetly): Okay! (walks through the room)\\
(''Charles snarls behind her back and clenches his fist at Delia'')\\
'''Barbara''' (having watched it all in her ghostly state): I'm gonna get her.
