[Rachel catches Brady with Kelly]
Brady : I mean, you blow off our date at the last minute...
Rachel Carruthers : So, you hop on to the next best thing? I thought you were different from other guys.
Brady : Oh, I'm different. It's just- it's just that... I just- I just got pissed off, that's all.
Rachel Carruthers : Oh, really? Well, I'll just let you get back to little Miss Hot Panties.
-
Kelly Meeker : I didn't know you and Brady had anything, okay?
Rachel Carruthers : You knew. You just didn't care.
Kelly Meeker : He's not married. Besides, I've got a right to do what's best for me.
Rachel Carruthers : Don't you mean what you do best?
Kelly Meeker : Wise up to what men want, Rachel... or Brady won't be the last man you lose to another woman.

Rachel Carruthers : We have to get out of Haddonfield. The state police are on their way. Let them handle it.
Unger : I don't know about you, Earl, but that makes sense to me. Let's get the hell out!
Big Al : We've got a police station. Let the troopers have him. That's what they get paid for.
Earl : Screw it. Let's get out of here.

Darlene Carruthers : We'll be at the Fallbrooks. The number's next to the phone.
Rachel Carruthers : I know, and next to that is police, hospital, fire, and probably the National Guard.
Richard Carruthers : I want you two to have fun tonight. Make sure Jamie's in bed by 9:30.
Rachel Carruthers : You're gonna be late. You don't wanna blow your promotion.
Darlene Carruthers : Don't make fun. Tonight is the difference between vacations in Bermuda, and spending another two weeks with your grandmother in Cleveland.

Darlene Carruthers : You'll have to watch Jamie tonight.
Rachel Carruthers : Not tonight. I've got that date with Brady. You know how important that is.
Darlene Carruthers : Well, tonight is very important for your father and me.
Rachel Carruthers : Can't you find somebody else?
Darlene Carruthers : It's too late.
Rachel Carruthers : What am I suppose to tell Brady? "Sorry, but I've gotta babysit my foster sister. Go and have fun by yourself"?
Darlene Carruthers : It's not exactly the end of the world, for goodness' sake.
Rachel Carruthers : Sure, it is. I think tonight Brady was ready to make a commitment. But now, my future relationship, my engagement, my marriage, my children, and your grandchildren have all been wiped out because I have to babysit. Oh, joy.
Jamie Lloyd : [standing at the doorway, hearing everything] I'm sorry I ruined everything. If I wasn't here, you can go out.
[Rachel groans]
Richard Carruthers : Good job, Rachel. That little girl needs all the love we can give her, and all you can do is think about yourself.

Richard Carruthers : Damn it! Darlene!
[Shows her his ruined tie]
Darlene Carruthers : There's another tie in the laundry room next to your blue slacks
[She goes to answer the ringing telephone]
Darlene Carruthers : Hello?
Richard Carruthers : Honey, I can't wear this, it has a spot on it. I've got a 10:30 with Chuck.
Darlene Carruthers : Hang on, Mrs. Pierce. Not that tie, on the side!. That's not the only thing you're eating, Rachel!
Richard Carruthers : Mom, I'm on a diet. You want an oinker for a daughter?
Richard Carruthers : Found it!
Rachel Carruthers : Sorry, Mrs. Pierce. Do you suppose Susan could just bring her crutches? Oh, stupid question. Tell her I hope she feels better.
[Hangs up]
Rachel Carruthers : Susan's Mother, she can't babysit tonight!
Richard Carruthers : Why not?
Darlene Carruthers : Susan broke her ankle last night at the ice rink. Rachel?
Rachel Carruthers : Mom, please.
Darlene Carruthers : You'll have to watch Jamie tonight.
Rachel Carruthers : Not tonight. I've got that date with Brady. You know how important that it is.
Darlene Carruthers : Well, tonight's an import night to your Father and me.
Rachel Carruthers : Can't you find somebody else?
Darlene Carruthers : It's too late.
Rachel Carruthers : What am I supposed to tell Brady? "Sorry, but I've got babysit my foster sister. Go and have fun by yourself".
Darlene Carruthers : It's not exactly the end of the world, for goodness sake.
Rachel Carruthers : [Jamie enters the room, as Rachel continues griping, not knowing Jamie is behind her] Sure it is. I think tonight, Brady was ready to make a commitment. But now future relationship, my engagement, my marriage, my children, and your grandchildren, have all been wiped out because I have to babysit.
Darlene Carruthers : Rachel!
Jamie Lloyd : I'm sorry I ruined everything. If I wasn't here, you could go out.
[Storms off]
Rachel Carruthers : [Feeling guilty] Ugh!
Richard Carruthers : Good job, Rachel. That little girl needs all the love we can give her right now and all you can do is think about yourself?
Rachel Carruthers : [She gets up and goes to Jamie's room, knocking on her door and entering her room] Jamie? I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I can go out with Brady some other night. It's no big deal.
Jamie Lloyd : But he wants you to go out tonight. It's my fault you can't.
Rachel Carruthers : Well, tonight, we're gonna do something better: We're gonna go Trick or Treating.
Jamie Lloyd : I don't want to.
Rachel Carruthers : It's Halloween. Don't you want to get dressed in a really scary costume and get some candy?
Jamie Lloyd : [Doesn't respond]
Rachel Carruthers : How about when I pick you up from school and we go get ice cream?
Jamie Lloyd : Double scoops?
Rachel Carruthers : [laughs] Double scoops. Now let's get some breakfast.

Jamie Lloyd : [Sitting on the sofa, looking out the window, staring at the ambulance parked right in front of the house]
Rachel Carruthers : Kiddo, it's 4 in the morning.
Jamie Lloyd : I can't sleep.
Rachel Carruthers : What is this? 4 nights in a row? You going for a record here? The 7-year-old insomniac's Hall of Fame?
Jamie Lloyd : Do you love me, Rachel?
Rachel Carruthers : Ugh. Serious questions tonight. Of course, I love you.
Jamie Lloyd : Like a sister?
Rachel Carruthers : Jamie, sometimes-...
Jamie Lloyd : - -Like a real sister?
Rachel Carruthers : We're not really sisters, Jamie, but that doesn't mean I love you any less.
Jamie Lloyd : [Looks out the window again, the ambulance is gone and she sits down on the sofa, normally] Sure it does.
Rachel Carruthers : I know you miss your parents, but it hasn't been that long.
Jamie Lloyd : It's been 11 months.
Rachel Carruthers : Your Mother used to babysit me. I bet you didn't know that.
Jamie Lloyd : You're lucky. I wish she could do the same for me.
Rachel Carruthers : Come on, Jamie. Let's go back to bed. Come on, Sunday.
Rachel Carruthers : [In Jamie's room] Night-night. We'll have French Toast for breakfast, okay? Nightie-night.

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.
