The Live Ghost Quote

Oliver: [looking at a large cloth bag that they've found in the ship's hold - - they erroneously believe that they've accidentally shot the drunken sailor, and so they plan to put the sailor's body into the bag and throw it overboard before anyone else finds out] That'll do.

Stanley: Poor fella... you think he's gone to Heaven?

Oliver: [in a pompous tone of mild sorrow] I'm afraid not - - I guess probably he went to the OTHER place. Get me a large piece of coal.

Stanley: Why? Do you have to bring your own coal with you when you go to the "other place"?

Oliver: [in an exasperated tone at Laurel's "ignorance"] Why, certainly NOT - - that's to weight the bag down so it'll SINK! Now get the coal... WAIT A MINUTE -
[grabs the lantern away from Laurel as he starts to walk away]

Oliver: give me that lantern! You wanna leave me here in the DARK? Go on and get the coal! You're always thinking of yourSELF!
