Debate on Favorite Shows and Their Impact
Jenny Oh, my God, I love it. I've seen it five times and still gets me every time.
Marnie You're kidding. I don't get it.
Jenny Okay, it's like "The Twilight Zone".
Marnie Twilight Zone.
Jenny A movie within a movie.
Marnie I get that, but it's illogical. It begs the question: That if the beginning of "Stab 7", is "Stab 6". Then if the beginning of "Stab 6", is "Stab 5". And if so, What is "Stab 4" about?
Jenny You're over-thinking it.
Marnie Am I, or did whoever make it just underthink it?. That's the reason I don't watch these movies.
Jenny I can't believe you haven't seen them. We live in Woodsboro.
Marnie That has nothing to do with Woodsboro. I-I thought you said "Stab" was based on true stories.
Jenny The first three, the original trilogy is based off of Sidney Prescott, but then she threatened to sue them if they used her stories. So they just started making stuff up. Stab 5 has time travel, which is by far the worst.
Marnie Don't we hear enough of this story every year?
Jenny At least Woodsboro's known for something. Did you hear that?
[''Hears a noise from upstairs'']
Marnie Uh... No, I didn't hear anything...
Jenny I did.
Marnie Jenny, don't try to scare me.
Jenny I'm not trying to scare you.
Marnie You do it all the time.
Jenny No, I don't!
Marnie Where are you going?!
Jenny I told you, I heard something!
Marnie I know you're trying to scare me.
Jenny I'm not!
Marnie What is it?
Jenny I must have left a window in my room open.
Confrontation with an Unyielding Opponent
Jill You just won't die, will you? Who are you? "Michael fucking Myers"? I don't think so. Just fucking die, already!
[''Sidney tries to use the call button, but Jill sees this and grabs it.; ''Throws it away and begins chokes her'']
A Mysterious Phone Call Unfolds
Jenny Could you get that? Marnie?
Marnie Yeah... Hello?
[''goes to the kitchen and answers the phone]
Ghostface App Hello. Who's this?
Marnie Marnie, who's this?
Ghostface App This is the last person you're ever gonna see alive.
Marnie What?
[''Disturbed'']
Jenny I'm sorry, I had to.
[''Laughing'']
Marnie You bitch! So not funny!
Jenny Somebody falls for it every year.
Marnie I don't see why you get off under the---
Jenny Marnie? Marnie? Marnie? Good one, Marnie! Lights out, phone on the floor. You know,... You really should direct horror films. Wherever you are. Let me guess, you want me to walk by an open door frame so you can pop out, huh? Okay, timing. Timing is perfect! But you don't have an app on your phone, so you can't talk like Ghostface, can you?
[''Leaves the hallway''; ''Checks downstairs''; ''Goes downstairs and finds the phone on the floor; ''picks up the phone and tries to look around the house''; ''Turns around but no one is there. The phone rings; ''Puts phone up to her ear'']
Ghostface Yes, I can.
Jenny Who is this?
[''Shocked'']
Ghostface Not an app.
Jenny Is this Trevor?
Ghostface Do I sound like a Trevor to you? Think of me as your director. You're in my movie, you got a fun part, so don't blow it.
Jenny What movie?
Ghostface Same one Marnie's in, only her part got cut way back. But you? You're the dumb blonde with the big tits. We'll have some fun with you before you die.
Jenny I have a 4.0 GPA and 135 IQ, asshole! What did you do with Marnie?
Ghostface She's on the cutting room floor!
Jenny That's not funny!
Ghostface This isn't a comedy, it's a horror film. People live and people die, and you'd better start running!
Jenny Marnie?
[''Horrified'']
Identity and Survival in Scream 4
Robbie Wait, no. No you can't... you can't... those rules... I-I'm gay! I'm gay! If... if that helps?
[''Ghostface pauses and tilts his head'']
Inquiry About a Book's Reception
Rebecca So, Sidney, Ooh, ow. Anyway, long story short: Random wants to lock you into three more books now. See the blank line in your contract, you can name your price. And as soon as your clear in this investigation, We're on the next plane in New York: The book today, the view, Nancy Grace and ]-
[''Checks on Sidney''; ''Shows her the contract''; [w:MTV|MTV]
Sidney Excuse me, can... Can I ask you a question?
Rebecca Hmm?
Sidney Did you read my book?
Rebecca I thought I'd wait for the movie.
Sidney Book tour's over.
[''Begins to leave'']
Rebecca Sidney... Accept your situation, you're a victim for life. So embrace it, use it. I know you care about your readers, all those little down-trouble fucks, that just need a light at the end of the tunnel so that they don't jump off a bridge. And a lucky break like this, I'm talkin a hundred percent increase in sales in minimum. That's maybe a million more people get your message and you get a ton more checks, and then...
[''grabs her'']
Sidney I won't be needing you anymore.
[''Sighs'']
Rebecca Sidney-
Sidney You're fired.
Rebecca Fired?
[''Stops'']
Sidney Fired!
[''While leaving'']
Rebecca Fine!
[''Walks away'']
Alternative Endings and Their Consequences
Jill Is this how it's gonna be, Sid? The ending of the movie was supposed to be at the house! I mean, this is just... Silly!
[''through clenched teeth'']
Sidney Consider this an alternative ending. You're never gonna get away with this, Jill.
Jill Of course I will!
Gale Dewey! Sid... Easy... Okay, okay... What about the book?
[''Enters Sidney's room, Jill aims her gun at her''; ''turns to Jill'']
Jill Looks like I'll just have to write it myself! Goddammit! Don't even think about shooting, or I'll blow Dewey's head off. What, you think I won't do it?! Give me your gun!
[''Judy appears and saves Gale through the hospital bed. Jill shoots, but misses; ''Gale and Judy hide under the bed''; ''Aims the gun at Dewey''; ''Gale and Judy turn to each other'']
Gale Do it.
[''To Judy'']
Jill Just had to be the hero, huh? Give me your gun. What are you, deaf?! Give me! Your gun! Now get up. And keep your hands over your head.
[''Aims the gun at Judy''; ''Judy doesn't respond''; ''Judy tosses the gun to Jill, who kicks it away. Sidney reaches for the defibrilator''; '''Judy complies'']
Deputy Hicks Don't do anything stu---
Jill Don't fucking tell me what to do!
Gale Oh, God...
Jill Now get up, bitch!
Gale Okay.
Jill Get up! Now!
[''Gale glances at her'']
Gale Okay.
Jill Come on! Let's go. Get your skinny ass out here!
[''Gale checks Dewey, who regains consciousness'']
Gale Okay.
Jill I'm gonna enjoy blowing your head off.
Gale Okay, but... Can I just have one final word?
Jill What? "Please?
[''Scoffs'']
Gale No... Clear.
[''charges up the defibrillator to 360 joules'']
Jill Clear?
[''Confused'']
Sidney Clear. You forgot the first rule of remakes, Jill: "Don't fuck with the original".
[''Electrocutes Jill, until she collapses on the floor'']
Gale Oh, my God, Dewey!
Sheriff Riley What did I get hit with?
Sidney Don’t ask.
Gale Are you okay?
[''To Sidney'']
Sheriff Riley She was standing right behind me!
Sidney They always are.
Gale Oh, my God...
Deputy Hicks Nice one.
Gale Hicks, you're alive?!
[''Shocked, with a slight sense of disappointment'']
Deputy Hicks Wear the vest, save your chest".
Sheriff Riley I got two officers down, several injuries, and a new suspect.
[''Faints'']
Gale We need a doctor! Goddamn it!
[''Rushes out to the hallway'']
Sidney I don’t know about you, but I feel a whole better.
[''To her cousin's dead body'']
Tension Escalates in Scream 4 Dialogue
Kirby It's Charlie's phone.
[''Checks on her phone''; ''Unlocks her phone'']
Ghostface Tell Sidney heads are gonna roll tonight! Tell Sidney it's all because of her! Or maybe she wants into his place. I promise to be quick!
Kirby It's him.
[''Turns to Sidney'']
Sidney Okay, Kirby, I'm gonna get Jill. Wish me in the same place. Just keep him on the phone. I-I'll be right back, okay?
Kirby Let him go, please.
Ghostface I hear you like horror movies, Kirby. But do you like them as much as him? Forget watching Stab. Instead, you get to live it.
Kirby No. No, no, no, no. He's the expert. It's not me.
Ghostface Warm up question: Jason's weapon?
Kirby Uh, it's a machete.

Debate Over Movie Choice During Movie Night
Charlie Alright, I hope no-one minds, but I'm putting on Stab 7! No-one cancels my movie night!
Jill Whoa, whoa, whoa! I don't want to watch that after what happened with Olivia!
[''Eating popcorn'']
Kirby Oh, come on! It was her favorite!
Charlie Wow, Kirby. You've got some real classics here!
Kirby Yep. I could trivia your ass under the table, Cinema Boy!
Charlie Alright... Who played Leatherface first?
Kirby Gunnar Hansen!
[''Drinks up alcoholic drink'']
Charlie Wow, did you feel that charge between us just then?
Kirby Oh, that was me! I have powers!
New Decade, New Rules for Survival
Taglines New decade. New rules.
Strength in Adversity and Shared Experiences
Gale Is she gonna be okay?
Sheriff Riley Yeah. She's a strong kid.
Gale She's gonna have to be.
Sheriff Riley She asked if you were okay. She thinks you guys should write a book together, with your matching wounds.
Gale Why, she was stabbed in the shoulder? How does she know I was too...?
[''Surprised''; ''Dewey nods'']
Sheriff Riley SHIT!!
Sibling Rivalry and the Quest for Recognition
Sidney How could you do this?
Jill Do you know what I was like growing up in this family? Related to you? I mean, all I ever heard was: "Sidney this!", and "Sidney that!", and "Sidney, Sidney, Sidney!"! You were always so fucking special! Well, now I'm special!
Sidney You'll slip, they always do.
The Impact of Filming High School Experiences
Sidney This... You film your entire high school experience, and, what, post it on the net?
Robbie Everybody will be doing it some day.
Charlie It's kind of the one component the killer is missing.
Gale Wait, what do you mean?
Charlie Well, if you wanna be the new, new version, the killer should be filming the murders.
Robbie Yeah, it's like the natural next step in the psycho-slasher innovation. I mean, you film them all real-time, and before you get caught, you upload them into cyberspace.
Charlie Making your art as immortal as you. Not to implicate him.
[''Speaking the same time as Robbie'']
Robbie Not to implicate me.
[''Speaking simultaneously with Charlie'']
Sidney So, who do you think is doing the murders?
Charlie Well, it's a Stab fanatic, clearly. Working on less of a Shrequel and more of a Screamake.
Robbie Mercer Copyright terms, by the way.
Charlie Cause all there are now are remakes. Only horror studios green-light. I mean, there are still rules, but the rules have changed. The unexpected is the new cliche.
Robbie Yeah, you gotta have an opening sequence that blows the doors off - gallop some music video direction and the kill's gotta be way more extreme.
Charlie Modern audiences get sappy to the rules of the original. So, the reverse has become the new standard. In fact, the only sure-fire way to survive a modern horror movie, you pretty much gotta be gay.
[''Pause'']
Gale So, why are you so sure that the killer is working by the rules of a horror remake?
Robbie Well, the original Stab structure is pretty apparent.
Charlie Yeah, two kids killed in a house when their parents are away?
Robbie And, then the school's hot chick savage beyond recognition.
Charlie We all know where it goes from there...?
Sidney A party.
Charlie Exactly. A party. Guaranteed third-act-main-cast bloodbath.
Robbie Fingers crossed on some nudity for a change...
Victory and Regret in Scream 4 Scene
Kirb Don't worry, Charlie. I fucking won. I won. He tried to beat me, but I fucking won!
Charlie Kirby? This is is making a move! Four years of class together, and you notice me now? You stupid bitch! It's too late! Shhh, I know. It doesn't happen as fast as it does in the movies, I know.
[''Holding knife''; ''Stabs her in the stomach''; ''Stabs Kirby again'']
Kirby Ch-Ch-Charlie...!
Challenging the Notion of Stardom in Horror
Sidney What?
Ghostface Welcome home, Sidney. Preview of coming events.
Sidney Why don't you come for me? You got the balls for that?
Ghostface Oh, poor Sidney. You think this is all about you? You think you're still the star?
Sidney This isn't a fucking movie!
Ghostface It will be.
Sidney These are innocent people!
Ghostface Spare me the lecture! You've done very well by all this bloodshed, haven't you? Well, how about the town you left behind? I've got plans for you. I'm gonna slit your eyelids in half so you don't blink when I stab you in the face. You'll die when I want you to, Sidney, not a moment before. Until then, you're going to suffer!
Jill Sidney!
Sidney Jill?
Sidney Stay right there.
Jill Is she-?
Sidney Do not look, okay?
Jill She said you were the angel of death.

Ghostface I've got time. It's you that doesn't. You know, Rebecca, it doesn't sound to me like you're in the hospital. Sounds like you're in a parking garage. A dark and deserted parking garage. But if you wanna be in the hospital, I'd be happy to put you there - in the fucking morgue!
