- Barnabas Collins: [Exasperated by Willie being too upset to pick up Jason's corpse] You really are appallingly sentimental.
- Willie Loomis: You wouldn't understand!
- Barnabas Collins: Why? Because I never had a friend who died?
- Willie Loomis: Did you?
- Barnabas Collins: Yes. Once. Long ago.
- Willie Loomis: Was it Josette?
- Barnabas Collins: No, she lived long before I knew Josette. She died when she was very young, and very innocent. She was very dear to me. I mourned her death for a long time.
- Willie Loomis: Never heard you talk this way before. You sound almost...
- Barnabas Collins: Almost human?
- Willie Loomis: Is he...?
- Barnabas Collins: Yes, he's dead.
- Willie Loomis: You killed him. You killed him.
- Barnabas Collins: How could I let him live? He knew too much.
- Willie Loomis: He's dead. Jason's dead.
