Scream 2

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.

Gale Seeks Conversation with Sidney

Gale Weathers Hello, Sidney.

Gale Weathers How are you?

Sidney Prescott Hi... What do you want, Gale?

Gale Weathers Well, I was hoping I might get just a few words with you.

Sidney Prescott Cotton.

Cotton Weary Hi, Sidney.

Gale Weathers Here we are at Windsor College, where Sidney Prescott has just been reunited with Cotton Weary for the first time, since she wrongly accused him of murdering her mother."---

[reporting]

Sidney Prescott What the hell are you doing?

[interrupts her interview]

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

[continues her interview]

Cotton Weary 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.

Gale Weathers Do you have any comments?

[reporting]

Sidney Prescott You... bitch!---

[lunging at Gale]

Gale Weathers Ah-ah.

Derek Feldman Whoa, Hey, hey, hey hey, Deep breaths, Lot of deep breaths.

[stops Sidney and calms her down]

Gale Weathers Oh Sidney, share with us, please!---

[Sidney turns around and punches Gale in the face]

Sidney Prescott I'll share with you!

[lunges at Gale]

Derek Feldman Okay, okay, okay.

Hallie McDaniel Did you get that on film?

[to Joel]

Joel Yes, I got that on film"!

[mocks Hallie while recording]

Scream 2

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]

Scream 2

Relationship Drama Unfolds Among Friends

Cici's Friend I love those guys. Are they still together? I haven't seen it in, like, three weeks.

[on phone]

Cici Cooper No, they broke up again.

Cici's Friend Really?

[on phone]

Cici Cooper Mm-hmm. Sarah found out that Bailey slept with Gwen. She dumped him, like, two episodes ago.

Cici's Friend I wish she'd get her shit together.

[on phone]

Cici Cooper Hold on. Someone's calling. Omega Beta Zeta.

[hangs up the call to her friend; shifts to talk to someone]

Phone Voice Hello?

Cici Cooper Yes?

Phone Voice Who is this?

Cici Cooper Cici. Who's this?

Phone Voice Who do you think?

Cici Cooper Ted? Where are you? Are you drinking? Hold on. Ted's on the other line. He sounds drunk. I'll call you back.

[shifts to her friend's call]

Cici's Friend That shit only calls you when he's drunk. Don't go over there, Cici.

[on phone]

Cici Cooper Okay, All right. I'll call you back. Okay, Ted. You sound loaded. What's up?

[shifts back to someone's call]

Phone Voice Who's Ted?

Cici Cooper Oh, I'm sorry. My bad. I thought you were someone else.

Phone Voice That's okay. I am.

Cici Cooper Who are you calling for? Nobody's here.

Phone Voice Where is everybody?

Cici Cooper We're cosponsorlng the acid rain mixer at Phi Gamma Alpha tonight.

Cici Cooper I'm "sober sister". I need to be here in case a drunk sister calls and needs a ride.

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?

Scream 2

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...

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 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?

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

Mickey/Phone Voice Surprise, Sidney!

Discussion on Nudity in Film Context

Maureen Evans Why does she have to be naked? What does that have to do with the plot of the storyline of her being butt-ass naked?

Phil Stevens I don't know, but I'm feeling a little stiffy.

Maureen Evans You better loosen up that wrist!

Casey Becker Hello?

[in the movie ''Stab'']

Phone Voice Hello.

Casey Becker Who is this?

Phone Voice Guess.

Casey Becker No, really, who is this?

Phone Voice Were you expecting somebody?

Casey Becker No.

Maureen Evans Bitch! Hang up the phone and star 69 his ass, damn!

Casey Becker Who is this?

Phone Voice Who would you like it to be?

Casey Becker I don't like games. Who is this?

Phone Voice Look out back. Do you see your boyfriend anywhere?

Casey Becker I don't even have a boyfriend right now.

Phone Voice Would you like one?

Maureen Evans (To Phil) Can I- Give me some money. I need to buy something.

Phil Stevens You got money.

Maureen Evans I've got my money! I ask for your money!

Phone Voice What do you say?

Phil Stevens (Annoyed) Cheap ass!

Maureen Evans (Singing) Thank you!

Phone Voice Come on. Cat got your tongue?

Casey Becker You know, I don't even know you, and I dislike you already.

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.

Scream 2

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]
