Quotes
-
Stu : Did you really call the police?
Sidney Prescott : You bet your sorry ass I did.
Stu : [starting to cry] My mom and dad are gonna be so mad at me!
-
Sidney Prescott : You sick fucks. You've seen one too many movies!
Billy : Now Sid, don't you blame the movies. Movies don't create psychos. Movies make psychos more creative!
-
Sidney Prescott : [when Randy reveals that he's still alive] Oh, my God. Randy I thought you were dead.
Randy : I probably should be. I never thought I'd be so happy to be a virgin.
-
Phone Voice : Do you like scary movies?
Sidney Prescott : What's the point? They're all the same. Some stupid killer stalking some big-breasted girl who can't act who is always running up the stairs when she should be running out the front door. It's insulting.
-
Stu : Shit...
Billy : What?
Stu : Oh, shit.
Billy : [They go into the kitchen to find Sidney and Mr. Prescott gone] Where are they? Where are they?
Stu : I don't know, Billy, but I'm hurtin', man!
[the phone rings]
Stu : Should I let the machine get it?
Billy : [answers it] Hello?
Sidney Prescott : Are you alone in the house?
Billy : Bitch! You bitch, where the fuck are you?
Sidney Prescott : Not so fast, we're going to play a little game. It's called: Guess who just called the police and reported your sorry motherfucking ass!
[Stu is slowly collapsing to the floor]
Billy : Find her, you dipshit! Get up!
Stu : I can't, Billy. You already cut me too deep. I think I'm dying here, man!
[Billy gives Stu the phone]
Billy : [whispers] Talk to her. Talk to her.
Stu : Hello?
Sidney Prescott : Ah, Stu, Stu, Stu... What's your motive? Billy's got one. The police are on their way. What are you going to tell them?
Stu : Peer pressure. I'm far too sensitive.
[Billy takes the phone back]
Billy : I'm going to rip you up, bitch, just like your fucking mother!
Sidney Prescott : You've gotta find me first, you pansy-ass momma's boy!
Billy : Fuck!
[He accidentally hits Stu with the phone]
Stu : Ow! You fuckin' hit me with the phone, dick!
-
Randy : [Gale, Sid and Randy are looking at Billy's body] Careful. This is the moment when the supposedly dead killer comes back to life, for one last scare.
[Billy starts to rise]
Sidney Prescott : [shoots Billy] Not in my movie.
-
Sidney Prescott : But this is life. This isn't a movie.
Billy : Sure it is, Sid. It's all a movie. It's all one great big movie.
[pauses]
Billy : Only you can't pick your genre.
-
Sidney Prescott : Why? Why did you kill my mother?
Billy : Why? WHY! You hear that, Stu? I think she wants a motive.
[Stu Chortles]
Billy : Well, I don't really believe in motives, Sid. I mean did Norman Bates have a motive?
Stu : No.
Billy : Did we ever find out why Hannibal Lecter like to eat people? DON'T THINK SO! See, it's a lot more scarier when there's no motive, Sid. We did your Mom a favour, Sid. That woman was a slut-bag whore who flashed her shit all over town like she was Sharon Stone or somethin'.
Stu : Yeah, we put her out of her misery, 'cause let's face Sidney, your mother was no Sharon Stone, hmm?
Billy : Is that motive enough for you? How about this? Your slut mother was fucking my father, and she's the reason my mom moved out and abandoned me.
[Sid looks astonished]
Billy : How's that for a motive? Maternal abandonment causes serious deviant behavior. It certainly fucked you up. It made you have sex with a psychopath.
Stu : That's right. You gave it up. Now, you're no longer a virgin. You're not a virgin. Now you got to die. Those are the rules.
Billy : So, this game is like a scary movie, Sid. How do you think it's going to end?
Stu : Oh, this is the greatest fun. You're going to love this. We got a surprise for you, Sidney. Yeah, you're going to love this one. It's a scream, baby. Hold a second, be right back.
-
Sidney Prescott : How do you - gut someone?
Stu : You take a knife and you slit 'em from groin to sternum.
Billy : Hey. It's called tact, you fuck-rag.
-
Sidney Prescott : Why are you doing this?
Billy : It's all part of the game, Sidneeeee!
[raises machine to mouth and shouts]
Billy : It's called GUESS HOW I'M GONNA DIE!
Sidney Prescott : Fuck you!
Billy : We've already played that game. Remember? You lost.
-
Sidney Prescott : Why can't I be a Meg Ryan movie? Or even a good porno.
-
Sidney Prescott : You know, if, if I was wrong about Cotton Weary, then the killer's still out there.
Tatum : Don't go there, Sid. You're starting to sound like some Wes Carpenter flick or something. Don't freak yourself out, okay? We've got a long night ahead of us.

[a student dressed as the Ghostface killer is running down the halls screaming]
Sidney Prescott : Why are they doing this?
Stu : Look at this place, it's like Christmas!
Tatum : [to Stu] Stupidity leak!
-
[Sidney and Stu fight near the television, which shows the film "Halloween"]
Stu : [smiles viciously] I always had a thing for ya, Sid!
[Sidney bites Stu's hand]
Stu : [screams painfully] Ohhhhh, God! Bitch!
[Stu lets go of Sidney. Sidney grabs a vase and breaks it on Stu's head. While he is stunned, Sidney stands and rushes to the television]
Sidney Prescott : In your dreams!
[Sidney shoves the television on Stu's head. The last thing he sees is Jamie Lee Curtis on the screen. The television breaks and Stu is electrocuted to death]

Sidney Prescott : Tatum, just get in the car
Ghostface : Hello Sidney.
Sidney Prescott : Um..Hi. who is this?
Ghostface : You tell me?
Sidney Prescott : Well, I, I have no idea
Ghostface : Scary night isn't it? With the murders and all. It's like right out of a horror movie or something.
Sidney Prescott : [laughing] Randy, you gave yourself away. Are you calling from work? Cause Tatum's on her way over.
Ghostface : Do you like scary movies Sidney?
Sidney Prescott : I like that thing you're doing with your voice Randy, it's sexy.
Ghostface : What's your favourite scary movie?
Sidney Prescott : Oh come on, you know I don't watch that shit.
Ghostface : Why not? Too scared?
Sidney Prescott : No, it's just what's the point? There all the same. Some stupid killer stalking some big breasted girl who can't act, who's always running up the stairs. When she should be going out the front door. It's insulting.
Ghostface : Are you alone in the house?
Sidney Prescott : Randy, that's so unoriginal. I'm disappointed in you.
Ghostface : Maybe that's because, I'm not Randy.
Sidney Prescott : So, who are you?
Ghostface : The question isn't, who am I? The question is where am I?
Sidney Prescott : S..s..so, where are you?
Ghostface : Your front porch.
[Moves to the front door]
Sidney Prescott : Why would you be calling from my front porch?
Ghostface : That's the original part.
Sidney Prescott : Oh yeah? Well I call your bluff.
Sidney Prescott : So, where are you?
Ghostface : Right here.
Sidney Prescott : Can you see me right now?
Ghostface : Uh huh.
Sidney Prescott : Uh huh, okay, What am I doing?
[sticks finger in nose]
Sidney Prescott : huh? Huh? What am I doing? Hello?
[laughs]
Sidney Prescott : Nice try Randy. Tell Tatum to hurry up, okay? Bye now.
Ghostface : IF YOU HANG UP ON ME YOU'LL DIE JUST LIKE YOUR MOTHER! Do you wanna die Sidney? Your mother sure didn't.
Sidney Prescott : Fuck you, you cretin!
-
Sidney Prescott : Can you see me right now?
Sidney Prescott : Ah, okay.
[puts a finger in her nose]
Sidney Prescott : What am I doing? Huh? Huh? What am I doing? Hello?
[takes finger out]
Sidney Prescott : Nice try, Randy. Tell Tatum to hurry up, okay? Bye now.
Ghostface : IF YOU HANG UP ON ME, YOU'LL DIE JUST LIKE YOUR MOTHER! Do you want to die, Sidney? Your mother sure didn't.
Sidney Prescott : Fuck you, you cretin!
-
Tatum : Hey Sid, just think - if they make a movie about you, who's gonna play you?
Sidney Prescott : I shudder to think.
Deputy Dwight "Dewey" Riley : I see you as a young Meg Ryan, myself.
Sidney Prescott : Thanks, Dewey, but with my luck I'd get Tori Spelling.
-
Gale : There she is! Sidney, hi, what happened? Are you alright?
Tatum : She's not answering any questions alright. Just leave us alone.
Sidney Prescott : No, no Tatum it's OK. She's just doing her job, right Gale?
Gale : That's right.
Sidney Prescott : So how's the book?
Gale : Oh it'll be out later this year.
Sidney Prescott : Oh, I'll look for it.
Gale : I'll send you a copy.
[Sidney turns around a punches Gale in the face]
-
Gale : [Sidney approaches as Gale is sitting in the news van, putting on makeup] Stop right there!
Sidney Prescott : I'm not here to fight, I'm just here to talk.
Gale : Kenny? Camera, now!
Sidney Prescott : Off the record, no camera.
Gale : Forget it.
Sidney Prescott : Please. You owe me.
Gale : I owe you shit!
Sidney Prescott : You owe my Mother!
Gale : [She gestures Kenny to put the camera down] Your Mother's murder was last year's hottest court case. Someone was gonna write a book about it.
Sidney Prescott : Right and it had to be you with all your lies and bullshit theories.
Gale : What is your problem? You got what you wanted. Cotton Weary's in jail, they're gonna gas him. A book is not gonna change that.
Sidney Prescott : Do you still think he's innocent?
Gale : Your testimony put him away, it doesn't really matter what I think.
Sidney Prescott : During the trial, you did all those stories about me, you called me a liar.
Gale : I think you falsely identified him, yes.
Sidney Prescott : Have you talked to Cotton?
Gale : Many times.
Sidney Prescott : And has his story changed?
Gale : Not one word. He admits to having... sex with your Mother, but that's all.
Sidney Prescott : He's lying, she never would've touched him! He raped her and then... he butchered her. Her blood was all over his coat.
Gale : He was drunk that night. He left his coat in your house after your Mother seduced him.
Sidney Prescott : I saw him leave, wearing it.
Gale : No, you saw someone leave, wearing that coat. The same someone who planted it in Cotton's car, framing him.
Sidney Prescott : [Appears to no longer be sure of what she really saw on the night of her Mother's murder] No, Cotton murdered my Mother.
Gale : You're not so sure anymore, are you?
Tatum : [Coming into the conversation, insulting Gale] Nice welt, sweetie. Let's go, Sid.
Gale : The killer's still out there. Those murders are related.
Tatum : Come on, Sid.
Gale : Sidney, don't go.
Tatum : Just stop.
[Sidney and Tatum leave]
Gale : Jesus Christ. An innocent man on Death Row, a killer's still on the loose. Kenny, tell me I'm dreaming.
Kenny : You wanna go live?
Gale : No, no, no. Not yet, we don't have anything concrete.
Kenny : This is huge, you can't just sit on it.
Gale : I know, that's why we need proof. If I'm right about this, I can save a man's life. Do you know what that can do for my book sales?
-
Tatum : Hey, Sid, just think, if they make a movie about you, who's gonna play you?
Sidney Prescott : I shudder to think.
Deputy Dwight "Dewey" Riley : I see you as a young Meg Ryan, myself.
Sidney Prescott : Thanks, Dewey. With my luck, they'd cast Tori Spelling.
