[Jerry drags Charley along one of the bedroom walls by the throat]

[giggling]

[Billy begins to ascend up the stairs, and Peter draws his gun]

[Billy ignores him and continues to walk up the stairs]

Peter Vincent: I'm warning you. Don't force me to shoot!

Charley Brewster: STOP!

[Jerry covers his eyes, whimpering]

Charley Brewster: We have him.

[Jerry removes his arm from his eyes and looks down at Billy's body at the bottom of the steps]

Charley Brewster: What?

Evil Ed: That wasn't the only murder. The second in two days. And get this...

Evil Ed: [Evil chuckling] Can you believe it?

Charley Brewster: You're sick.

[as Evil continues laughing]

[Charley arrives upstairs in Evil Ed's bedroom]

Evil Ed: The master will kill you for this! But not fast. Slowly! Oh, so slowly!

[Jerry corners a terrified Evil Ed into an alley]

Jerry Dandrige: Hello, Edward. You don't have to be afraid of me. I know what it's like being different. Only they won't pick on you anymore... or beat you up. I'll see to that. All you have to do is take my hand. Go on, Edward. Take my hand!

[Ed in tears stands up to take Jerry's hand]

[Charley turns to a now believing, now terrified Peter Vincent for help fighting vampires]

Peter Vincent: That's just a character I played in a movie! Peter Vincent's not even my real name!

[Peter Vincent tells Charley that he was fired from his job]

Peter Vincent: I have just been fired because nobody wants to see vampire killers anymore, or vampires either. Apparently, all they want to see are demented madmen running around in ski-masks, hacking up young virgins.

[Jerry holds Charley's hand in a crushing matter]

Jerry Dandrige: You shouldn't lose your temper, Charley. It isn't polite.

[Charley warns Evil against joking around]

[Jerry Dandrige tells Charley that he'll drop by anytime he wants]

Jerry Dandrige: What's the matter, Charley? Afraid I'd never come over without being invited first?

Jerry Dandrige: [Charley's mother laughs] You're right. You're quite right. Of course, uh, now that I've been made welcome I'll probably drop by quite a bit. In fact, anytime I feel like it.

[Jerry watches the terrified Charley walk backwards up the stairs to his bedroom]

Jerry Dandrige: See you... soon.

[Jerry Dandrige meets Peter Vincent]

Jerry Dandrige: [shaking hands] Mr. Vincent. I've seen all of your films. And I found them... very amusing.

[Billy surprises Charley who's snooping around Dandrige's basement door]

Billy Cole: Hey, Kid! What are you doing?

Charley Brewster: [the nervous Charley] Nothin'...

Billy Cole: Oh, yeah? Well, just see that it stays that way... Kid.

Amy: [trying to trick Charley] What's wrong? Don't you want me anymore?

[Charley pulls out a crucifix and she hides her face; crying]

Amy: It's not my fault, Charley. You promised you wouldn't let him get me! You promised!

Charley Brewster: You can't kill me here.

Jerry Dandrige: I don't want to kill you, Charley. I want you to bring Peter Vincent to my house. Just the two of you. That is, if you ever want to see Amy... again

Evil Ed: [sees an alley] Hey, let's cut through.

Charley Brewster: Hey! No way! Come on, we want people and lights. The more, the better.

Evil Ed: Ah, listen, Brewster, vampires don't exist. Haven't you gotten that through your thick head yet?

Charley Brewster: What if you're wrong, Evil? What if Dandrige is a vampire and he thinks you know it? Would you walk down that alley then?

Evil Ed: Oh, fuck you, Brewster.

Charley Brewster: All right. Look. Come on, please just stick with us, all right?

Evil Ed: Forget it. You may be chickenshit but I'm not.

[starts walking into the alley]

Amy: What do we do?

Charley Brewster: Let him go. No vampire's gonna want him anyway. Probably give him blood poisoning.

Evil Ed: [finds Charley's room full of lit candles, garlic, and crosses] Wow... what's all this for?

Charley Brewster: [sharpening a stake] Self-defense, not that I think I'll need it. He'll be dead before nightfall.

Amy: Who will be?

Charley Brewster: Dandridge. I'm waiting for the guy he lives with to leave, then I'll go next door, find his coffin and pound this through his heart.

Amy: That's murder, Charley!

Charley Brewster: You can't murder a vampire, Amy, he's already dead, remember? Listen, I just taped this.

Evil Ed: [teasingly] Amy, what're we gonna do? This is just like Fright Night!

Newscaster: [playback on tape] Now for the 2:00 news. Another body of a young woman was discovered early this morning in back of the Sheridan mall.

Charley Brewster: [shuts off tape] You see that? I don't have any choice. Somebody has to stop him.

Amy: Charley, it's... it's gonna be dangerous going in that house all alone, isn't it? I mean you're gonna need all the help you can get, right? Somebody like Peter Vincent for instance?

Evil Ed: Yeah!

Charley Brewster: I tried him already.

Amy: Well, why don't you let us try him again before you do anything?

Charley Brewster: There's NOT enough time, Amy!

Amy: Well what happens if you go into that house alone, and he gets *you*? Who's gonna stop him then?

Evil Ed: Yeah, then he'll be able to suck his way through the entire town... but it wouldn't be much of a loss.

Amy: Charley, it's gonna be dark soon, and you don't want to go into that house then, do you?

Charley Brewster: No, no, you're right there. All right, try him again.

Amy: All right, now you promise you're not gonna do anything until you hear from us, OK?

[Charley nods glumly]

Amy: OK, come on!

Charley Brewster: Amy, you don't believe me, do you?

Amy: Charley, I love you.

Charley Brewster: [sees Evil walking away] Hey, where are you going, pencil dick?

Evil Ed: Home.

Charley Brewster: No way. We walk Amy home first.

Charley Brewster: We can't leave like this!

Detective Lennox: I've got a coffin for you.

Charley Brewster: Lieutenant, please, please listen to me. Jerry Dandrige is a vampire.

Amy Peterson: Charley? Is something wrong?

Charley Brewster: No.

Evil Ed: [ED LAUGHING] Oh, you're so cool, Brewster.
