Dialogue
Tara: Hello? Ghostface: Hello. [Speaking in the manner and tone of a slightly nervous man] Is Christina there? Tara: No, she's not available. May I take a message? Ghostface: Uh, yeah, um...yeah, sorry. I'm a friend of hers from group. I...oh, shit! Tara: "From her sh*t?" Ghostface: Um, look, just, uh, tell her I'm from group. I'm Charlie. She's got my number. Tara: Oh, she goes to your group? Ghostface: I shouldn't have...um, just tell her that Charlie called. Tara: And I will do exactly that, Charlie. Why don't you tell me what kind of group we're talking about? Is it A&A? NA? Ghostface: Well, you sound exactly like she describes you. Tara: Uh, she talks about me in group? Ghostface: Uh, I don't think I can really talk about that. Tara: What does she say about me? Ghostface: Well, she loves you very much. Tara: Oh, what does she love about me? Ghostface: Uh, okay, well, she loves that you're creative. You love art and TV and movies. Tara: Okay, well, lots of people love movies. Ghost
Dialogue
Sam: Hello? Ghostface: Hello, Samantha. Sam: Who is this? Ghostface: Someone who knows your little family secret. Sam: You're the f**k who hurt my sister. Ghostface: Oh, she's not the only one I'm gonna hurt. I had to get you to come back here somehow, didn't I? Sam: You wanna f**k with me, asshole? I'm right here. Come and get me! Ghostface: With pleasure! [Reveals himself and attacks Sam]
Dialogue
Dewey: [Over the phone] But, Sid, promise me. No matter what you hear or what you see on the news, don't come here. Sidney: No offense, Dewey, I have no intention of ever setting foot in that town again. Dewey: Good. Sidney: Dewey, whoever this killer is after, I'm glad they have you to protect them. [Gets emotional] You be safe, okay? Dewey: Will do. Sidney: It's good to hear your voice. Dewey: You, too, Sid.
Dialogue
Judy Hicks: Sheriff Hicks. Ghostface: Hello, Sheriff Judy. Judy Hicks: Who is this? Ghostface: I think you know. I'm a fan of scary movies and knives. What's your favorite scary movie? Judy Hicks: I prefer animated films and musicals. Why are you doing this? Ghostface: I'll tell you all about it. I'm going to turn myself in. Judy Hicks: That's a great idea. Ghostface: We'll sit down at the station, and I'll tell you all about the two people I've killed. Judy Hicks: You've only killed one person. Ghostface: [Chuckles] By the time I see you, I'll have gutted your baby boy. Judy Hicks: [Calling for backup] This is Sheriff Hicks! I need units to converge on my house ASAP! Ghostface: Can't get him on the phone, can you? He must be busy. Judy Hicks: How do I know you're anywhere near him? Ghostface: You ever seen the movie Psycho? Judy Hicks: [Starting to get tearful] Please...don't hurt my boy. Ghostface: Why not? Judy Hicks: He's a good kid. Ghostface: Is he now? Judy Hicks: He'd never hur
Dialogue
Dewey: [Notices Gale's camera operator and assistant] Couldn't resist a good story, could you? Gale: Don't be an idiot, Dewey. I'm here because I was worried about you... Okay, yes! My producers wanted me to cover this for obvious reasons, but ninety percent is because of you. Dewey: Well, I feel ninety percent better.
Dialogue
Gale: You are a lot of things, Dewey, but you are NOT a coward. You just, you just were meant to be in Woodsboro. Dewey: And you weren't.
Dialogue
Sam: Richie! Are you at the hospital? Ghostface: Hello, Samantha. Richie can't come to the phone right now. He's finding out what happens to people who stick their noses in a business that doesn't concern them. Sam: Please don't hurt him. Ghostface: I'll tell you what. You can choose. I'll only kill one. Sam: What? What? Tara! Ghostface: Who do you want to hear die? Sam: No, please! I'm begging you! Please don't hurt them! Ghostface: Really? You can't save your own sister? All you have to do is say, "Kill Richie". [Knocks Tara off her wheelchair] Sam: Tara! Don't hurt her! Please! Please! Please! I'm begging you! Ghostface: Or say, "Kill Tara". And I'll make sure to hit all the organs I missed last time. Tara: F**k you! Sam: I'm begging you, please don't hurt her. Ghostface: Last chance to save one. Choose! Sam: Why are you doing this? Ghostface: You want to know why, Sam? Maybe it's because you're a selfish b*tch who can't even make a decision to save the life of someone you love. May
Dialogue
Dewey: Not today! Dewey: The head. Richie: What? Dewey: You have to shoot them in the head, or they always come back. Sam: Dewey! Who gives a f**k? Dewey: I do. Sam: No, Dewey! Ghostface: Yes, today! [Raises both his knives, violently slicing Dewey's chest and back open. A fatally-wounded Dewey has enough time to notice that Gale was trying to call him on his phone, and he smiles, ignoring Ghostface speaking] It's an honor. [Removes the knives and kicks a now-dead Dewey to the ground]
Dialogue
Sidney: Sam, I want you to help us kill him. Sam: You want me to help you and the host of a morning show to commit murder? Gale: Correct. Sidney: Yeah.
Dialogue
Wes: [Suspecting Dewey as the killer] You got stabbed a billion times, got dumped by your famous wife, and crawled into a bottle. I think it's safe to say you're on the suspect list. Dewey: Well, maybe you're the killer. Because that cut deep.
Dialogue
Sidney: I put a tracker on her car. Gale: You did what? Sidney: Seems like something Gale Weathers would do. Gale: I'll take that as a compliment.
Dialogue
Gale: If I hadn't written that book about your mother, none of this would have happened. Sidney: Gale... Gale: I started all this. Sidney: No, you didn't. Billy Loomis started this, and we're gonna end it. After tonight, no more books, no more movies, no more f***ing Ghostface.
Dialogue
Amber: [Runs outside crying and screaming] Help me! Help me! He stabbed me! Sidney: [Looks at Gale] What do you think? Gale: Trap. Amber: [Stops pretending] F**k it! [Shoots Gale]
Dialogue
Ghostface: Hello, Sidney. Sidney: Hello, there. Where'd you go? Ghostface: Oh, this isn't Amber. I'm the other one. Sidney: Oh, there's two of you...again. I've seen this movie before. Ghostface: Not this movie, Sidney. Sidney: You really need some new material. [Shoots door] Ghostface: I got you here, didn't I? Sidney: You might actually be the most derivative one of all. I mean, Christ, the same house? [Shoots door] Ghostface: Maybe so, but you forgot the first rule of surviving a 'Stab' movie: never answer the... Sidney: [Cuts Ghostface off] I'm bored. Ghostface: Wait!
Dialogue
Richie: Someone has to save the franchise! You see, no one has made a great "Stab" movie since the first one. Not really. [To Amber] Hey, baby, you want to go get the very ex-Mrs. Riley? Amber: Yeah, I do. Richie: Sidney Prescott. You know, I'm a really big fan. Sidney: Go f**k yourself. Richie: You see the last "Stab" movie? Sidney: Not really a fan of scary movies. Richie: That checks out. Anyway, it sucked balls. Because nobody takes the true fans seriously, not really. They just laugh at us, and why?! Because we love something?! We're just a f***ing joke to them?! How can fandom be toxic? It's about love! They don't f**king understand these movies are important to people! Sam: Richie... Richie: [hearing Sam, he swings his knife to face her] And we're gonna help them! Hollywood's totally f***ing out of ideas, so we decided we'd give them some new source material to follow. You know, bring it back to basics. Because that's how you make a great "Stab" movie, Sam. Based on actual event
Dialogue
Amber: No, no, no, no, no, no! It's not my fault, it's not my fault! Sidney: Let me guess, the movies made you do it? Amber: No, no, no, it was the message boards! I was radicalized! Gale: By movie fans? Amber: Yes, they're so mad! Please, it's not my fault! I'm just a dumb kid, I just wanted to be a part of something! Gale: A part of something? You killed my best friend! Amber: [Stops cowering to taunt her] Yeah, and he died like a pussy. [Gale punches Amber, resuming the fight. Amber gets the upper hand, choking Gale] I was the last thing Dewey saw before he died! I can't believe I get to do you both! No last-minute saves this time! Your story's over! Time to pass the torch! Gale: It's all yours, b*tch! [Headbutts Amber and kicks her against the kitchen stove, which turns on. Gale looks at Sidney] Do you wanna do the honors? Sidney: This one's yours. Amber: No, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop! I'm sorry about Dewey! Gale: F**k you! Sidney: Enjoy that torch.
Dialogue
Richie: What are you gonna do now, huh? Make a scary phone call to me? Pop your head out of the closet in a Ghostface mask? No. Because you're the villain! And the villain dies at the end! Those are the rules! Sam: I'm introducing a new rule. Richie: And what might that be, huh? [Aims his gun at Sam] Well?! [Laughs arrogantly and evilly] Sam: Never f**k with the daughter of a serial killer. Richie: [Whimpering] WAIT! Wait! What about my ending?! Sam: [Whispers] Here it comes. [Slashes his throat] Richie: [Horrified] Aah! No! Sidney: Careful. They always come back. Gale: Okay, then. Tara: I still prefer The Babadook.
Dialogue
Tara: You're not the reason Dad left. You didn't choose where you came from, or who you came from. I don't blame you for that. I blame you for leaving me, too. Sam: That's never gonna happen again. Tara: I know. Sam: [Ss she climbs into the back of an ambulance] You're not going anywhere without me. Don't worry, I'm gonna hold your hand the whole way there.
