Rubber (Wo)man: Part One

American Horror Stories 1×1

Scarlett: You know what, never mind, I'll just hurl myself from the moving vehicle, okay? Maybe I'll die and go to hell because that would be an improvement on what I'm living through at the moment.

Scarlett: Can't you guys be into normal gay music, like Britney or Madonna or even showtunes?

Troy: Are you aware of what the seventh-most popular ride at Disneyland is?... It's the Haunted Mansion.

Michael: And did you know what the third-most popular holiday in America is? Halloween. And Christmas is actually second to Thanksgiving, believe it or not.

Troy: People love to be scared. Psychiatrists say that the kind of controlled fear that you get from a roller-coaster or a haunted house or a-a bungee jump... It's like a vaccination. A little bit of the anxiety virus helps you with healing your overall anxiety.

Scarlett: So you guys are not concerned about the fact that people actually, like, died here? You know, whole families, the curse?
Troy: Come on, ghosts aren't real and curses aren't real. People do terrible, horrible things to each other. They don't need the help of an evil spirit to do them. Your father doesn't believe that and neither do I. This place just seems to have attracted some bad folks, that's all.
Michael: And we're gonna take advantage of that to make some dough.

Scarlett: It's easy to not be afraid. People do it all the time. They... get on airplanes and drive really fast in their cars and ask people out on dates. Fear isn't what stops us from doing what we want.
Rowena: So then what does?
Scarlett: Shame... Shame is what keeps us from being our true selves. I bet everybody in here could face their fear with enough encouragement, but... not one would be able to face their shame.

Maya: You know, if a boy stared at me like that, I'd probably report him for harassment...

Maya: Smart is the new perfect ten.

Troy: I'm sorry, we don't believe in haunted houses.
Michael: Seriously, why would a spirit stick around on Earth when it has the whole universe to explore?
Troy: The stories are absurd. We believe in science in this family.
Dr. Andi Grant: I don't believe in haunted houses, either. But I do believe that knowing what dark things have occurred in a place can create a darkness in someone's psyche. It's the reason why cemeteries feel scary or old dungeons or "haunted" houses. If we know what terrible things have happened in a place, then we are forced to confront the truth that terrible things can happen at all. I mean, it's impossible not to get a little dark, a little depressed. It affects all of us.

Scarlett: I like violent stuff. Extreme S and M, pain.

Maya: We're all going in there together. What's she gonna do? There's four of us. Come on.
