We want to know how you feel? Tell us everything that's happened, looking back on the last two years?

Uh Sidney, I'd just like to say that I forgive and forget. And just like you, I'd like to get back on with my own life.

Fan Appreciation for an Author's Work
Debbie Salt
Excuse me, Ms. Weathers? Um? Could I have a minute?
Gale Weathers
No.
Debbie Salt
Just one second. I-I know you probably get this all the time, but I just wanted to say I am such a big fan of your work. I just finished your book. I-I couldn't put it down. Insightful, probing... I just really, really loved your book.
Gale Weathers
Thank you.
Debbie Salt
Sure
Gale Weathers
Thanks.
[she is about to leave, but Debbie follows her]
Debbie Salt
I'm a writer myself. I write for the local paper, for the Post Telegram. I'm Debbie Salt. I took your seminar in Chicago last year. I was the one in the front row asking all the questions.
[shakes Gale's hand]
Gale Weathers
Right. I thought you looked familiar.
Debbie Salt
Oh, thank you. Um, can't wait to see the movie. You know, you must be getting quite a lot of flak on that, right? I mean, with all the violence-in-cinema issues. What is your position going to be?
Gale Weathers
No comment.
Debbie Salt
Miss Weathers, please... I-I would... It would be such an honor for me if I could just get a quote from you for my story.---
[Gale stops]
Gale Weathers
Okay. Begin quote:
Debbie Salt
Great.
Gale Weathers
Your flattering remarks are both desperate and obvious.
[quoting]

Confrontation Over a Deadly Legacy
Roman Bridger
I shot you!
[shocked]
Sidney Prescott
I guess we think alike.
Roman Bridger
Mother's dead. And there's nothing you can do about that. I still got to make my movie.
[chuckles painfully]
Sidney Prescott
Stab 3, right?
[completely unfazed at Roman's words]
Gale Weathers
Roman? It was Roman?!
Deputy Dewey Riley
Be careful, Sid. Randy said the killer's always superhuman.
Sidney Prescott
Yeah, well, he wasn't superhuman, Dewey. He wasn't superhuman at all.
Roman Bridger
Fuck! You can't fucking kill me!!
Sidney Prescott
Head! Head! HEAD, DEWEY!
Deputy Dewey Riley
What?!
[turns to Sidney.]
Sidney Prescott
HEAD! Shoot him in the head!
Deputy Dewey Riley
Thanks.
Sidney Prescott
No problem.

Nice to meet you, you were highly recommended by Martha Metz.
[shakes Ace's hand.]
Ace Ventura
Martha Metz? Oh, yeah, the bitch!
Podactor
What?
Ventura
Pekingese, hyperactive, lost in Highland Park area. She was half-dead when I found her. Is that the tank? Excuse me.
[looks at the tank area; walks off, leaving Melissa and Roger standing in disbelief]

Analyzing the Killer's Patterns in Woodsboro
Gale Weathers
Sorry. All right, let's just assume the killer is repeating Woodsboro...
Gale Weathers
Yes?
Gale's Agent
I have Bob calling.
[on the phone]
Gale Weathers
I'll have to call you back.
[hangs up phone]
Randy Meeks
That doesn't explain Sidney's attack. Sidney wasn't killed in Woodsboro. Wasn't for a lack of trying. The killer is trying to finish what was started.
Gale Weathers
Well, Sid's under protection, right?
Randy Meeks
Yeah.
Gale Weathers
What?
Gale's Agent
Bob really needs to talk to you.
[on the phone]
Gale Weathers
Tell Bob I'll call him back.
[hangs up phone]
Deputy Dewey Riley
When'd she start smoking?
Randy Meeks
Ever since those nude pictures on the Internet.
Gale Weathers
It was just my head. It was Jennifer Aniston's body. Anyway, you're forgetting something. In Woodsboro, there were more victims before the homestretch.; Tatum, my cameraman, Himbry...---
Joel
Time out! I don't need to be hearing about no dead cameramen, all right? Now I'm warning you, guys. I am a verb away from vacating these premises. I'm gonna get me some coffee, donuts, Prozac, see if I can find some crack, Special KX, not Malcolm, and I'll be back when you guys start talking about something a little more Saved By The Bell-ish, all right?
Deputy Dewey Riley
He seems a little shaky.
Gale Weathers
Don't worry about him. If the killer is following a pattern, maybe we can figure out who's next.
Deputy Dewey Riley
I wouldn't follow a killer's pattern. We were all involved in Woodsboro. Could be any one of us.
Gale Weathers
So what do you wanna do, bonehead? Sit here, wait and see who drops next?
Deputy Dewey Riley
Well, I don't know... "Phonehead"!
[Gale's phone rings again]
Randy Meeks
Gale's not here!---
Phone Voice
I'm not interrupting anything, am I? You three look deep in thought. Have you ever felt a knife cut through human flesh and scrape the bone beneath?
[laughs evilly]
Randy Meeks
It's him.
Deputy Dewey Riley
Who?
Randy Meeks
The killer. He can see us.
Deputy Dewey Riley
Just keep him on the phone.
Randy Meeks
What do you want me to say?
Deputy Dewey Riley
I-I don't know. Just keep him talking. Come on, Gale.
Randy Meeks
Uh...hi.
Gale Weathers
What are we doing?
Deputy Dewey Riley
Look for somebody with a cell phone.
Randy Meeks
So, uh... what's your favorite scary movie?
Phone Voice
You'll never find me.
Randy Meeks
What do you care? Let em have their fun. So, uh... what's up?
Phone Voice
What's your favorite scary movie?
Randy Meeks
Showgirls. Absolutely frightening. What's yours? Wait. Let me guess. The House on Sorority Row? The dorm that dripped blood? Splatter university? Graduation day? Final exam? Am I close?
Phone Voice
Closer than you think. Too slow, geek. Do you want to die?
[A random person bumps into Randy]
Randy Meeks
Is that the best you can do? Because Billy and Stu were much more original.
Phone Voice
Why are you even here, Randy? You'll never be the leading man.
Randy Meeks
FUCK! YOU!
Phone Voice
No matter how hard you try, you'll never be the hero and you'll never, ever get the girl.
Randy Meeks
Sorry.
Phone Voice
Wrong guy, dead boy.
Randy Meeks
Oh, yeah? Well, let's re-direct the moment, Mr. I'm So Original. Huh? Where's your motivation? Huh? Why copycat two high school loser ass dickheads? Stu was a pussy-ass wet rag. And Billy Loomis? Billy Loomis, what the fuck? Jesus! What a rat-looking, homo-repressed momma's boy! Why not set your goals higher, huh? You wanna be one of the big boys? Huh? Manson, Bundy, O.J, Son of...

Tension Builds in the Water Tank Scene
Roger Podacter
Aw, great! I'll see if I can head them off.
[Roger exits while Melissa talks to Ace]
Melissa Robinson
Ace. Get out of the tank.
Ace
I just can't do it, Captain! I don't have the power!
[Imitating the Star Trek character Scotty]
Crowd
Podacter!
Roger
People!
Melissa Robinson
I said, get out of the tank, NOW.
Ace
For god's sakes, Jim, I'm a DOCTOR! Not a pool man!
[Imitates the Star Trek character Dr. McCoy]

Understanding Alter Egos in Conversation
Jack Shepard
Cindy, what are you wearing?
Cindy Collins
It's my alter eggo.
Jack Shepard
You mean your "alter ego"?
Cindy Collins
I'm a princess.
Jack Shepard
Cindy, you're not a princess.
Cindy Collins
But I look pretty.
Jack Shepard
Yeah, but pretty girls don't have any real friends and they never get any respect. I mean, take Miss Holloway for instance.
Marsha Holloway
Hey.
Dr. Grant
Scatter.
[Cindy throws the 2.5-ton object]
Jack Shepard
Nice toss, Cindy. Yeah, really good. Why don't you get a juice box and, uh, and a Rice Krispy treat?

The Journey of Eternia's Guardians
Sorceress
Julie, keep this with you, and Eternia will always be near.
[gives Julie a glowing blue crystal]
Julie Winston
Thank you. He-Man, Teela, Man-At-Arms...
Teela
Don't say goodbye. Say Good Journey.
Man-At-Arms
It is an old Eternian saying. Live the journey, for every destination is but a doorway to another.
Julie Winston
Good Journey.

A Mysterious Call from the Killer
Gale's boyfriend
That'll be our food. Hello? Not the food, it's for you.
[Answers the phone; To Gale]
Gale Weathers
Who is it?
Gale's boyfriend
May I ask who's calling, please? He says it's the killer.
[To Gale]
Gale Weathers
Hello?
Ghostface
Hello, Gale. Strange that you and I have never spoken on the phone. This is long overdue.
Gale Weathers
I agree. Call the police.
[To her boyfriend]
Ghostface
I figured, after all these years, you’d want an interview.
Gale Weathers
You figured right. So, what's your motive this time? You angry at the movies or are you just trying to stay relevant?
Ghostface
I could ask you the same. Don’t you know? The legacy characters are disposable now. No one cares about last century’s heroes.
Gale Weathers
Why bother with me at all?
Ghostface
Call it nostalgia. Or maybe you deserve to be punished for all that money you made off the misery of others. Maybe it’s time someone made a buck reporting your death.
Gale Weathers
You know you're, like, the tenth guy to try this, right? And spoiler alert, it never works out for the dipshit in a mask.
Ghostface
Oh, but they certainly leave a mark before they go, don’t they? Richie and Amber managed to butcher Dewey, carved him up like a Christmas goose. How does it feel to lose the only man who ever loved you?
Gale Weathers
Fuck you!
[struggling to stay cool upon hearing Ghostface's words]
Ghostface
How does it feel to know that you weren’t there for him at the end? Not there to give him comfort, ‘cause he died screaming in his own guts.
Gale Weathers
You're the one who's gonna die screaming.
[tearful]
Ghostface
Maybe, but you won’t be around to see it. You couldn’t stop what happened to Dewey, just like you’re not gonna be able to stop this.
Gale Weathers
How's that for nostalgia, fucker?!
Ghostface
You missed.
Gale Weathers
Sure I did.
Ghostface
You win. I’m in the elevator, heading for the ground floor.
[speaking quickly]
Gale Weathers
Sure you are.
[Fires two shots]
Ghostface
Maybe...you did hit me. Maybe I’m wounded. Or maybe I’m wearing a bulletproof vest.
[sounding wounded; Speaks normally]
Gale Weathers
That's why I'm gonna shoot you in the fucking head!
Ghostface
You would’ve made a good killer, Gale. Sidney never would've made sense, and Dewey was the fan favorite. But you cracking under the pressure and turning into Ghostface would’ve been a great twist.
Gale Weathers
Keep talking, asshole.
Ghostface
Sure. What do you want to talk about? You never got to be the leading lady, did you? It was always all about poor, sweet Sidney sucking up all the oxygen. Where did that leave you to be?
[chuckles]
Gale Weathers
The brains and the sex appeal?
Ghostface
Sorry about your boyfriend. All those muscles didn’t help much.
Gale Weathers
They sure didn't. Can you hold, please?
[Ghostface resumes chuckling]
Ghostface
Huh?
[stops chuckling]

Introducing Ace to Ronald Camp
Ronald Camp
Who is he, a friend?
Melissa Robinson
No, this is--this is my date. He's a lawyer.
Camp
Well, does he have a name, or should I call him "lawyer"?
Robinson
No, this is Ace. Um, Tom Ace.
Ventura
Tom Ace. Pleasure to meet you Mr. Camp, and congratulations on all your success. You smell terrific. I was just telling Melissa that one of the first things we learned back at Stanford Law was the modern proliferation of food poisoning claims against wealthy private homeowners. In fact, if one were so inclined, one could make quite a lucrative law practice with little else. How is everyone feeling tonight?
Camp
Very, very well, thank you.
[nervously]
Ventura
Oh. Look, honey, there's the hors d'oeuvres.
[to Melissa; looks suspiciously at Camp]
