Planning a Confrontation Against a Neighbor
Evil Ed
Wow... what's all this for?
[finds Charlie's room full of lit candles, garlic, and crosses]
Charley Brewster
Self defense, not that I think I'll need it. He'll be dead before nightfall.
[sharpening a stake]
Amy Peterson
Who will be?
Charley Brewster
Dandridge, I'm waiting for the guy he lives with to leave, then I'll go next door, find his coffin, and pound this through his heart.
Amy Peterson
That's murder, Charlie!
Charley Brewster
You can't murder a vampire, Amy, he's already dead, remember? Listen, I just taped this.
Evil Ed
Amy, what're we gonna do? This is just like Fright Night!
[teasingly]
Newscaster
Now for the 2 o clock news. Another body of a young woman was discovered early this morning in back of the Sheridan mall.
[playback on tape]
Charley Brewster
You see that? I don't have any choice. Somebody has to stop him.
[shuts off tape]
Amy Peterson
Charlie it's... it's gonna be dangerous going in that house all alone, isn't it? I mean you're gonna need all the help you can get, right? Somebody like Peter Vincent for instance?
Evil Ed
Yeah!
Charley Brewster
I tried him already.
Amy Peterson
Well, why don't you let us try him again before you do anything?
Charley Brewster
There's NOT enough time, Amy!
Amy Peterson
Well what happens if you go into that house alone, and he gets you? Who's gonna stop him then?
Evil Ed
Yeah, then he'll be able to suck his way through the entire town... but it wouldn't be much of a loss.
Amy Peterson
Charlie, it's gonna be dark soon, and you don't want to go into that house then, do you?
Charley Brewster
No, no you're right there. Alright, try him again.
Amy Peterson
Alright, now you promise you're not gonna do anything until you hear from us, okay?
Amy Peterson
Okay, come on!
Charley Brewster
Amy, you don't believe me, do you?
Amy Peterson
Charley, I love you.

Declining Interest in Vampires and Horror Films
Peter Vincent
I have just been fired because nobody wants to see vampire killers any more, or vampires either. Apparently all they want are demented madmen, running around in ski masks, hacking up young virgins.
Charley Brewster
I believe in vampires.
Peter Vincent
That's nice. If only there had been more of you, perhaps my ratings would've been higher.

Debate on Vampires and Safety Concerns
Evil Ed
Hey, let's cut through.
[sees an alley]
Charley Brewster
Hey! No way Come on, we want people and lights. The more, the better.
Evil Ed
Ah, listen, Brewster, vampires don't exist. Haven't you gotten that through your thick head yet?
Charley Brewster
What if you're wrong, Evil? What if Dandrige is a vampire and he thinks you know it? Would you walk down that alley then?
Evil Ed
Oh, fuck you, Brewster.
Charley Brewster
All right. Look. Come on, please just stick with us, all right?
Evil Ed
Forget it. You may be chicken shit but I'm not.
Amy
What do we do?
Charley Brewster
Let him go. No vampire's gonna want him anyway. Probably give him blood poisoning.
Evil" Ed Thompson
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
[Charley and Amy run back to "Evil" Ed]
Charley Brewster
Jesus, I warned him!

Invited Intruder's Assurance
Jerry Dandridge
What's the matter, Charley? Afraid I'd never come over without being invited first? You're right. You're quite right. Of course, uh, now that I've been made welcome I'll probably drop by quite a bit. In fact, anytime I feel like it.

Consequences of Intrusion and Threats
Jerry Dandridge
Now we wouldn't want to wake your mother, would we Charley? Then I'd have to kill her too. RIGHT? Do you realize how much trouble you've caused me? Spying on me, almost disturbing my sleep this afternoon, telling policemen about me! You deserve to die, boy. Of course, I could give you something I don't have: a choice. Forget about me, Charley. Forget about me, and I'll forget about you. What do you say, Charley? Fool!
