Memorable Quotes from Neve Campbell
28 quotesThe Final Act of the Game
Sidney Prescott
What?
Phone Voice
You follow directions well, Sidney. Now, welcome to the final act. See that metal detector? Use it. All over, Sidney. Everywhere. Everywhere. The other leg, too. Show it to me. Throw it in the pool. Now, come inside, Sidney.
[Sidney picks up a metal detector; Sidney scans herself; Sidney scans her other leg, causing the detector to beep; She takes out a gun; She does so]
Sidney Prescott
No fucking way. How do I know they're not dead already?
Phone Voice
They're right inside, waiting for you. Look for yourself. Now that we're all here, the party can begin.
[Sidney sees Dewey and Gale tied up and walks over to them]

Confrontation of Past Traumas and Accountability
Sidney Prescott
Fine, you got what you wanted: hero and villain face-to-face. Well, you know what happens now? The villain dies!
Roman Bridger
Exactly! But I'm not the villain, Sid. You are. Here he is, the man who gave away your mother's innocence. Huh? What he did to her made her a slut, didn't it? Huh? She never recovered from that night, right here in this room. They fucked her three ways from Sunday, ruined her life. Ruined yours, too, didn't it, Sid? You hate him, Sid? Come on, I know you do. I'm sure you do.
[Brings out a captured John Milton]
Sidney Prescott
I know who you are. I know what happened to my mother, and I want you to understand, I'm gonna make you pay!
Roman Bridger
That's what the police are gonna find on Milton's answering machine, right next to his lifeless, mutilated corpse. What? Can't hear ya.
[John mumbles]
John Milton
You don't have to do this, Roman. Just tell me what you want. I can make it happen. Any picture. Name your budget. Script approval. Final cut!
[hurriedly; Roman chuckles in amusement and annoyance]
Roman Bridger
I already have it.
Sidney Prescott
No! God! You spineless bastard!
Roman Bridger
No, Sid, that would be you! You did it all. You did it! You killed them all, even your closest...friends. Living in total isolation, the pressure of another movie about you, the discovery that Milton destroyed Mommy dearest, you finally just SNAPPED! And who's our hero, huh? The sole survivor. Who's the one who bravely faced down the psychopath and killed her with her own knife?! You're gonna pay for the life you stole from me, Sid. For the mother, and for the family, and for the stardom, and... GODDAMN IT! EVERYTHING YOU HAVE THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN MINE!
[Starts having a breakdown]
Sidney Prescott
God, why don't stop your whining and get on with it? I've heard this shit before!
[annoyed]
Roman Bridger
STOP!
[struggling not to hear Sidney's words]
Sidney Prescott
Do you know why you kill people, Roman? Do you?
Roman Bridger
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!
[pleading]
Sidney Prescott
BECAUSE YOU CHOOSE TO! There is no one else to blame!
Roman Bridger
GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!
[smacks himself in the face]
Sidney Prescott
Why don't you take some FUCKING responsibility?!
Roman Bridger
FUCK YOU!!!
[finally snaps and charges at Sidney]
Sidney Prescott
FUCK YOU!

The Dangers of Movie Theaters Today
Sidney Prescott
300 people watched. Nobody did anything. They thought it was a publicity, for Christ sakes.
Randy Meeks
And it would have been a good one, too.
[Speaking in an Australian accent humorously]
Sidney Prescott
It's starting again, Randy.
Randy Meeks
It's not. A lot of shit happens at the movies. People get robbed, shot, maimed, murdered. Movie theaters are very dangerous places to be these days.
Sidney Prescott
Yeah, and you are in extreme denial.
[persistent]
Randy Meeks
You should be, too. This has nothing to do with us.
Sidney Prescott
Randy! A guy in a ghost mask hacked up two people in a movie theater filming our life story.
[frantic]
Randy Meeks
Coincidence?
Sidney Prescott
You know what happened at Woodsboro, Randy. You can't ignore it.
Randy Meeks
I know, Sid, and I don't want to go back there again. Can't we just go back to our pseudo-quasi happy existence?
[speaking normally now]
Randy Meeks
HELLO, DEREK, how you doing?
Derek
Hi, Sid, I heard you weren't in class.
[kisses Sidney]
Sidney Prescott
Yeah, I know. I skipped it because I couldn't take the "Death to her" looks.
Derek
Is there anything I could do?
Sidney Prescott
Yeah, do you have any tricks for getting back to a pseudo-quasi happy existence?
Derek
You know? I might just have one for that.
[thinking decisively]
Randy Meeks
Oh, yeah, what is that?
Sidney Prescott
That was pretty good.
[smiles]
Randy Meeks
Get a room.

California Women's Crisis Counseling. My name is Laura. How can I help you?
Female Voice
Oh, Laura. I do have a crisis.
Sidney Prescott
Okay, well, whatever it is, you can tell me.

Oh, my God! I've killed someone, Laura.

Are you sure?

It's Mother, Laura. Now be a good girl and turn on the news. Do as Mother tells you.

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.

Uncertainty in a Mysterious Phone Call
Sidney Prescott
Hello?
Sidney Prescott
Hello?
Sidney Prescott
Who is this?
Sidney Prescott
Who is this?
Sidney Prescott
Um, who's calling?
Sidney Prescott
Um, who's calling?
Sidney Prescott
Gale, Dewey, whoever, call me back. I can only hear myself.
Phone Voice
I only hear you, too, Sidney.
Sidney Prescott
Who is this?
Phone Voice
The question isn't who I am. The question is: Who's with me?
Dewey
Sidney, stay away!
Gale
Sidney!
Phone Voice
Don't do it. If you do one thing to attract attention to yourself, one thing, I'll kill them both. Now, do you have somewhere we can be... alone?
Sidney Prescott
Yes.
Phone Voice
Yeah. Go there. Oh, it's hard being friends with you, Sidney. When you're friends with Sidney, you die. Well, these friends don't have to, Sidney. It's up to you.
[Sidney goes into the staff room]
Sidney Prescott
How do I know their voices are...?
Phone Voice
Are real? How do you know you're not hearing things? How do you know I'm not someone in your head? Somewhere, you know. Or do you?
[More yells are heard from Dewey and Gale]
Sidney Prescott
You're dead.
Phone Voice
I don't want them. I want you. It's simple. You show yourself, they survive. You run, they die! Don't you wanna know, Sidney, who killed her? Don't you wanna know who killed your mother?
Sidney Prescott
Where?
Phone Voice
She'd have been so happy, Sidney, to know we'd be together.
Sidney Prescott
Where?!
Phone Voice
I'll call you when you're on your way.

Confronting the Past and Unseen Truths
Maureen
Sid... Sid... come in here... please. It's just me, Sid. Oh, I was so pretty. Everybody loved me. Have you missed me, Sidney? Would you like to hold me one last time? What's the matter? What are you staring at? Don't you remember your-
Phone Voice
Mother?
Ghostface
You're not going anywhere, Sidney. It's time you came to terms with me and with Mother. Maybe you never knew her at all, Sidney. Maybe you just can't get past the surface of things.
[speaking in the Phone Voice; Reveals his bulletproof vest]
Sidney Prescott
Who the hell are you?
Ghostface
The other half of you. I searched for a mother, too, an actress named Rina Reynolds, tried to find her my whole life. And four years ago, I actually tracked her down, knocked at her door, thinking she'd welcome me with open arms. But she had a new life and a new name: Maureen Prescott! You were the only child she claimed, Sidney. She shut me out in the cold forever! Her own son.
Roman Bridger
Roman Bridger, director.
[Uses voice changer]
Roman Bridger/Phone Voice
And brother.
Roman Bridger
She slammed the door in my face, Sid. She said I was "Rina's" child and Rina was dead... and then it struck me. What a good idea. So I watched her. I made a little movie, a little family film. Seems Maureen -"Mom"- she really got around. I mean, Cotton was one thing; everybody knew about that. But Billy's father - that was the key. Your boyfriend didn't like seeing his daddy in my film too much. He didn't like it at all. And once I supplied the motivation, all the kid needed was a few pointers. Have a partner to sell out in case you got caught, find someone to frame, it was like he was making a movie.
Sidney Prescott
You. This is all because of you.
Roman Bridger
I'm a director, Sidney. I direct.
Sidney Prescott
Oh.
[softly and sarcastically; raising an eyebrow]
Roman Bridger
I had no idea they were gonna make a film of their own. What a film it turned out to be, huh? I mean, introducing Sidney the Victim, Sidney the Survivor, SIDNEY THE STAR!

Derek

Sidney Prescott
The killer! He's here!
Derek
Where?
Ghostface
Right here. You're fast, Sid. I wouldn't do that if I were you. You really wanna trust your boyfriend? Don't you know history repeats itself? Hm? Sid?

Revelation of the Killers in Scream 2
Cotton Weary
Okay, okay, okay. Everybody slow down. I have had a very, very bad day, and I would like to know exactly what the fuck is going on here. Sidney?
Sidney Prescott
Cotton, meet Billy Loomis mother. She's the killer.
Cotton Weary
What? Then who's that?
[Notices Mickey's body]
Sidney Prescott
The other killer, Mickey.
Cotton Weary
Okay.
Sidney Prescott
Look, Cotton...
Cotton Weary
Shut up. So...hi. You're, uh, not Debbie Salt, are you? You're not with the Post Telegraph.
[Speaks to Mrs. Loomis]
Mrs. Loomis
No, but I can still help you, Cotton.
Cotton Weary
Ah-ah-ah.
Mrs. Loomis
You don't need her. Let me kill her! As long as she's alive, you're never going to be the lead story. That's what you really want, isn't it, Cotton? If you really wanna be in the spotlight, just let me kill her...right now. Then you're the only survivor. You're the star! SHE SENT YOU TO PRISON FOR A YEAR! Personally, I think it's rather poetic!
[desperate; Yells in rage]
Sidney Prescott
No. No, Cotton, don't you listen to her.
Cotton Weary
Oh. Well...it's quite a predicament you're in, Sid.
Sidney Prescott
Cotton...
Cotton Weary
I mean, she makes a good point. Let me think about this. Maybe you should, too. Bet you that Diane Sawyer interview's looking real good right about now.
[chuckles]
Sidney Prescott
Consider it done.
Cotton Weary
Wow. That...was intense.

Confrontation Over Mona's Death

[after Ellen slaps him after explaining what he did]
Ellen Rash
You killed Mona Dearly!
[outraged]
Bobby Kalzone
I know.
[chastened]
Ellen Rash
BUT WHY?!
Bobby Kalzone
Because I thought I was killing Jeff!
Ellen Rash
Bobby, my dad is the chief of police!
Bobby Kalzone
I know, but I wasn't gonna go through with it.
Ellen Rash
It doesn't matter; you killed someone!
Bobby Kalzone
I know, but I was doing it for us. Jeff was killing the business, and Mona wasn't gonna let me out of the partnership, so - Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Ellen Rash
A good idea at the time? Cut the grass at 6:00, lay sod at 7:00, DROWN THE DEARLYS AT 8:00'!

Revenge as a Justification for Murder
Mrs. Loomis
Two birds, one stone. Oh, Mickey was a good boy, but, my God, that whole "blame the movies" motive. Did you buy that for one second? Poor boy was completely out of his mind.
Sidney Prescott
And you're not?
Mrs. Loomis
No. I'm very sane. My motive isn't as 90s as Mickey's. Mine is just good, old-fashioned revenge. You killed my son. And now I kill you. And I can't think of anything more rational.
Sidney Prescott
You're never going to get away with this.
Mrs. Loomis
Of course I will. Everything's traceable back to Mickey, including the cop gun he used to kill everybody. But let's just suppose that you had gotten hold of the other cop's gun, and you chased Mickey, and there was a big shootout and a big scuffle, and you shot Mickey, killed Mickey dead, but not before he got off one shot at you. Okay. So, have I covered everything? Are there any questions, any comments? You know what, though? Who gives a flying fuck, anyway?! Let them try and track down the second possible killer! Debbie Salt doesn't exist.
Sidney Prescott
You're as crazy as your son was.
Mrs. Loomis
What did you just say? Was that a negative, disparaging remark about my son? About my Billy?
[angered]
Sidney Prescott
No, Billy was a good boy. Billy was perfect. You did a bang-up job, Mrs. Loomis.
[sarcastically]
Mrs. Loomis
It's not wise to patronize a woman with a gun, Sidney. Randy spoke poorly of Billy, and I got a little knife-happy. I was a good mother. You know what makes me sick? I'm sick to death of people saying that it's all the parents fault, that it all starts with the family. You wanna blame someone? Why don't you blame your mother?! She's the one who stole my husband and broke up my family! And then you took my son. You don't know what it is to be a mother, to raise a child, and teach him, and guide him...
Sidney Prescott
And abandon him?! Isn't Mickey supposed to be dead?
[annoyed; Mrs. Loomis stops ranting, shocked at what Sidney just said]

Chris already told everybody.
Sarah
Told everybody what?

Bonnie
That you guys did it.
Sarah
But we didn't... do it.
Nancy
Well then he was just trying to save face then, because he's going around the whole school saying that you were the lousiest lay he's ever had, and coming from him, that's pretty bad.
Sarah
No, he didn't.
[looking over to the other girls in the classroom who are giggling]
Nancy
He did.
Rochelle
He said the same stuff about Nancy.
Nancy
Told you he was a jerk.
