Mason: It's reality.
Pamela: This is the '80s! Nobody likes reality any more.
Faye Riley: Frank! It's the love boat to Cuba! Shuffle board and pineapples filled with rum. Know what they do? They put little paper umbrellas sticking out the top so that when it rains, it don't thin out the liquor.

Mr. Kovacks: Is this what you're talking about? It's full'o junk. It's a storage shed, you idiot.

Mr. Kovacks: You don't need ghosts for that.

Faye Riley: Be nice, Papa.
Frank Riley: I'm always nice.
Answer: It's been years since I watched this one, but here's an engineer's opinion. Yes on the electrical meters, no on the water. If you strike an electrical meter with sufficient force to dislodge it from the main electrical service contacts, the flow of electricity will stop. Striking a water meter with an axe might destroy the metering mechanism and cause a leak, but water will still flow. Only severing the metal water service pipes would stop the water, but that would also cause a major flood.
