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: [Speaking in an Australian accent humorously] And it would have been a good one, too.

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: [persistent] Yeah, and you are in extreme denial.

Randy Meeks: You should be, too. This has nothing to do with us.

Sidney Prescott: [frantic] Randy! A guy in a ghost mask hacked up two people in a movie theater filming our life story.

Randy Meeks: Coincidence?

Sidney Prescott: You know what happened at Woodsboro, Randy. You can't ignore it.

Randy Meeks: [speaking normally now] 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?

Randy Meeks: HELLO, DEREK, how you doing?

Derek: [kisses Sidney] Hi, Sid, I heard you weren't in class.

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: [thinking decisively] You know? I might just have one for that.

Randy Meeks: Oh, yeah, what is that?

Sidney Prescott: [smiles] That was pretty good.

Randy Meeks: Get a room.

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: [Notices Mickey's body] What? Then who's that?

Sidney Prescott: The other killer, Mickey.

Cotton Weary: Okay.

Sidney Prescott: Look, Cotton...

Cotton Weary: [Speaks to Mrs. Loomis] Shut up. So...hi. You're, uh, not Debbie Salt, are you? You're not with the Post Telegraph.

Mrs. Loomis: No, but I can still help you, Cotton.

Cotton Weary: Ah-ah-ah.

Mrs. Loomis: [desperate; Yells in rage] 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!

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: [chuckles] 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.

Sidney Prescott: Consider it done.

Cotton Weary: Wow. That...was intense.

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: [angered] What did you just say? Was that a negative, disparaging remark about my son? About my Billy?

Sidney Prescott: [sarcastically] No, Billy was a good boy. Billy was perfect. You did a bang-up job, Mrs. Loomis.

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: [annoyed; Mrs. Loomis stops ranting, shocked at what Sidney just said] And abandon him?! Isn't Mickey supposed to be dead?

A Revelation of Danger and Urgency

Derek: Oh, thank God, Sidney, I thought I was gonna be up there until opening night.

Sidney Prescott: I'm gonna get you out of here. Derek, he killed Hallie.

Derek: What are you talking about?

Sidney Prescott: The killer! He's here!

Derek: Where?

Ghostface: [speaking in the Phone Voice; The voice suddenly changes to Mickey's voice] 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?

Mickey/Phone Voice: Surprise, Sidney!

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: [on the phone] I have Bob calling.

Gale Weathers: [hangs up phone] I'll have to call you back.

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: [on the phone] Bob really needs to talk to you.

Gale Weathers: [hangs up phone] Tell Bob I'll call him back.

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: [Gale's phone rings again] Well, I don't know... "Phonehead"!

Randy Meeks: Gale's not here!---

Phone Voice: [laughs evilly] 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?

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: [A random person bumps into Randy] Closer than you think. Too slow, geek. Do you want to die?

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...

Cici Cooper: Drink with your brain." That's our motto. Who are you calling for?

Phone Voice: What if I said you?

Cici Cooper: What if I said goodbye?

Phone Voice: Why would you want to do that?

Cici Cooper: Why do you always answer a question with a question?

Phone Voice: I'm inquisitive.

Cici Cooper: Yeah, and I'm impatient. Look, do you want to leave a message for someone?

Phone Voice: Do you want to die tonight, Cici?

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: [she is about to leave, but Debbie follows her] Thanks.

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?
