Quotes 

  • Dr. Loomis : You're talking about him as if he were a human being. That part of him died years ago.

  • Dr. Loomis : Ten years ago, he tried to kill Laurie Strode. Now he wants her daughter.

    Sheriff Meeker : Are you talkin' about Jamie Lloyd?

    Dr. Loomis : Wherever she is, that little child is in mortal danger.

    Sheriff Meeker : Myers has been locked up since before she was born. He's never laid eyes on her!

    Dr. Loomis : Six bodies, Sheriff! That's what I've seen between here and Ridgemont! A filling station in flames! I'm telling you Michael Myers is here, in this town! He's here to kill that little girl and anybody who gets in his way!

  • Jack Sayer : You're huntin' it, ain't ya? Yeah, you're huntin' it, all right. Just like me.

    Dr. Loomis : What are you hunting, Mr. Sayer?

    Jack Sayer : Apocalypse, End of the World, Armageddon. It's always got a face and a name. I've been huntin' the bastard for 30 years, give or take. Come close a time or two. Too damn close! You can't kill damnation, Mister. It don't die like a man dies.

    Dr. Loomis : I know that, Mr. Sayer.

  • Dr. Loomis : [encounters the Shape in gas station]  Michael? Why now? You waited ten years. I knew this day would come. Don't go to Haddonfield. If you want another victim, take me. But leave those people in peace. Please, Michael?

    [pause] 

    Dr. Loomis : Goddamn you.

    [Loomis shoots] 

  • Dr. Loomis : Maybe nobody knows how to stop him. But I've gotta try.

  • Sheriff Meeker : This is starting to spook me here, Doc.

    Dr. Loomis : At least I'm not alone.

  • Dr. Loomis : We're not talking about any ordinary prisoner, Hoffman! We are talking about evil on two legs.

  • Dr. Loomis : We'll hear some sirens soon.

    Jamie Lloyd : Then we'll be safe?

    Dr. Loomis : Yeah.

    Jamie Lloyd : You don't believe that, do you?

    [checks door, then pauses] 

    Dr. Loomis : No...

  • [after all the cops at the station are slaughtered] 

    Sheriff Meeker : How could a man do this, Loomis? Tell me.

    Dr. Loomis : This isn't a man.

    Sheriff Meeker : What is he? Tell me! What the hell are we dealing with?

    Dr. Loomis : Evil.

  • [Loomis and Dr. Hoffman arrive at a river where the ambulance containing Michael Myers crashed into] 

    Dr. Hoffman : When did this happen?

    Trooper #1 : Sometime in the night. They probably lost the road in the storm and came down the embankment. It happens.

    Dr. Hoffman : An accident?

    Trooper #1 : Yes, sir?

    Dr. Loomis : Do you believe that?

    Dr. Hoffman : Why shouldn't I?

  • Dr. Loomis : I need to speak with Sheriff Brackett.

    Deputy Pierce : Well, then you'll have to travel about three-thousand miles south of here.

    Dr. Loomis : What?

    Deputy Pierce : Brackett retired in '81. He went to St. Petersburg.

  • Dr. Loomis : Why wasn't I notified?

    Dr. Hoffman : About what?

    Dr. Loomis : You know damn well about what! You let them take it out of here!

  • Dr. Hoffman : Now where are you going?

    Dr. Loomis : Haddonfield. It's a four hour drive. You can reach me through the local police. If you don't find him in four hours, I'm sure I will.

  • Sheriff Meeker : [Loomis sees Michael standing near a house]  Is that him? Is that him.

    Dr. Loomis : Yes.

    [Now a second Michael appears to Loomis' right] 

    Sheriff Meeker : Loomis.

    [points, just as a third Michael appears] 

    Sheriff Meeker : Oh Christ, Doc.

    Dr. Loomis : Dear God.

    [Loomis and Meeker see that they are surrounded. Loomis aims his gun at the first Michael, who takes off his mask to reveal a teenage hooligan] 

    Kid in Michael Myers Mask : Hey, don't shoot!

    [the other Michaels remove their masks to show it was all a prank. They run away laughing] 

    Kid in Michael Myers Mask : Oh, that was great. Thought it was me, didn't you, Sheriff?

    Sheriff Meeker : Get home, dammit. There's a curfew. I catch your ass, it'll be a weekend in jail! You alright, Doc? Come on, we'll get to the station, we'll get these kids safe.

    Rachel Carruthers : [Jamie is shaken by what she had seen; Rachel comforts her]  It's okay, it's okay.
