Scream 3 Quotes

Dewey: Is that a threat, Detective?

Mark: When it's a threat... you'll know it.

Dewey: Was that a threat?

Jennifer: Gale Weathers!

Gale: [says quietly] Shit.

Jennifer: I know we've never met... and I know you never returned my phone call, but after getting into this project, I feel like I'm in your mind.

Gale: Hmm, that would explain my constant headaches.

Jennifer: You know, I'm sorry things didn't work for 60 minutes II, but Total Entertainment, that's a pretty good fallback.

Gale: Thank you. I'm sorry things didn't work out with Brad Pitt, but being single, that's a good fallback.

Jennifer: Gives me more time for my work. After all, Gale Weathers, you're such a complex character.

Gale: And to be played by an actress with such depth and range...

Sarah Darling: Has there been another goddamn re-write? How the fuck are we supposed to learn our lines when there's a new script every 15 minutes?

Phone Voice: It's not just a new script, it's a new movie.

Sarah Darling: What movie?

Phone Voice: My movie. And it's called: "Sarah gets skewered like a fucking pig"!

[pause]

Phone Voice: Still in character, Sarah?

Sidney: Hello?

Phone Voice: Hello?

Sidney: Um, Who's calling?

Phone Voice: Um, Who's calling?

Sidney: Gail, Dewey. Whoever. Call me back, I only hear myself.

Phone Voice: I only hear you too, Sidney

[Jennifer is studying Gale in order to play her character]

Jennifer: The ruthless ambition, your private self-loathing, and that lost and lonely little girl inside.

Gale: Lost and lonely what?

Jennifer: You heard me.

Gale: Lost and lonely what?

Tom: Hey. It's the real Gale Weathers.

Gale: Real from top to bottom.

Jay: Holy shit, Silent Bob, it's that TV newschick Connie fucking Chung. Hey Connie, how's Maury?

[Gale gives them the finger]

Jay: Dude, I think she likes me. Did you see how she was looking at me?

Gale: I did write the definitive book on the Woodsboro Murders.

Dewey: And I'm sure you just can't wait to write another one.

Roman: Someone is trying to ruin my movie. Someone wants to kill my movie.

Detective Wallace: We'll talk about your movie down at the station. All right, this is the scene where you come with us.

Dewey: The killer called her.

Mark: When?

Gale: What'd he say?

Sidney: Oh you know the usual small talk. "What's new?" "How you been?" "How do you wanna die?"

Sidney: What do you know about trilogies?

Mark: All I know is that in the third one, all bets are off.

Sidney: Hey Detective, what's your favorite scary movie?

Mark: My life.

Sidney: Mine too.

Gale Weathers: Hey, are you...?

Bianca Burnette: No.

Jennifer Jolie: But you look just...

Bianca Burnette: ...like her? I've been hearing it all my life.

Jennifer Jolie: It's uncanny.

Bianca Burnette: [sourly] I was up for Princess Leia. I was this close. So, who gets it? The one who sleeps with George Lucas.

Gale Weathers: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up a sore subject for you.

Bianca Burnette: [sarcastically] Sure, you didn't. None of them did. So, how can I help you? Or do you want me to tell you who you look like?

Milton: Did Cotton's death have anything to do with this movie?

Detective Wallace: He was making a movie called Stab... he was stabbed.

Jennifer: Jeez!

Gale: What the hell are you doing?

Jennifer: Being Gale Weathers! What are you doing?

Gale: I *am* Gale Weathers!

Jennifer: Here's how I see it. I've got no house, no bodyguard, no movie and I'm being stalked. Because someone wants to kill me? No, because someone wants to kill you. So, now, starting now, I go where you go. So that if someone wants to kill me, I'll be with you and since they really wanna kill you, they won't kill me, they'll kill you, make sense?

Gale: [shouts] None!

Jennifer: You know in the movies, I play you as being much smarter!

Gale: And as a sane person, for you that must be quite a stretch!

Jennifer: That's funny.

Gale: Ha!

Jennifer: Need to get in that building?

Gale: Yeah!

Jennifer: Is there a story in that building?

Sidney: God why don't stop your whining and get on with it. I've heard all this shit before.

Roman: Stop.

Sidney: Do you know why you kill people Roman? Do you?

Roman: I don't want to hear it.

Sidney: Because you choose to. There is no one else to blame.

Roman: Damnit fucking damnit!

Sidney: Why don't you take some fucking responsibility?

Roman: Fuck you.

Sidney: Fuck you.

Roman: Not only did they-did they kill the film, but they killed my cast. You know, nobody's gonna wanna work with me. Variety called me a "pariah." I don't even know what a pariah is. Why-why couldn't somebody have killed the cast from Stab 1, huh? Or Stab 2? Why me? What, John, what did we do wrong?

Milton: Hollywood is full of criminals whose careers are flourishing.

Roman: I'm not a criminal. I was questioned. Yeah, but that's all. I was questioned. That's it.

Milton: It's good for your mystique.

Roman: You think it'll help me get work?

Jennifer: Happy birthday, Roman.

Roman: Yeah, as if life isn't tragic enough.

Phone Voice: Oh, it's rough being friends with you, Sid.

[mocking]

Phone Voice: When you're friends with Sid, you die.

[interrupting a moment between Dewey and Gale]

Jennifer Jolie: [shouting] What the fuck happened to you?

Dwight 'Dewey' Riley: Jennifer, wait a minute.

Jennifer Jolie: Who gave you a place to stay? Who are you supposed to be protecting?

Dwight 'Dewey' Riley: Jennifer.

[Jennifer slugs Dewey]

Gale Weathers: Hey!

[Gale slugs Jennifer]

Jennifer Jolie: My. Lawyer. Liked. That.

Gale Weathers: Not as much as I did.

Bianca Burnette: [Referring to the search being made on Sydney's mother's past] If they're looking for Maureen Roberts, they're never gonna find her. Rina Reynolds they will.

Jennifer Jolie: Rina Reynolds... stage name.

Bianca Burnette: You should talk, Judy Jurgenstern.

[Gale giggles as Jennifer glances in embarrasment]

Jennifer: [to John] Come on. You have made millions off the story of her murder. You're obsessed with her and you're obsessed with her daughter!

Gale: Alright, easy Geraldo.

Angelina Tyler: Maybe it's not meant to be...

Tom: Not meant to be? You in that town search for the new Sidney. 50,000 girls and they pick you! You gotta be praying this movie keeps going!

Angelina Tyler: Of course I am but not at the expense of people's lives.

Tom: Oh, cue the violins!

Milton: You don't have to do this, Roman! Just tell me what you want, I can make it happen! Any picture, name your budget, script approval, final cut!

Roman: I already have it.

[Roman cuts Milton's throat]

Mark: I'm gonna talk to the studio guys about those photos.

Detective Wallace: Yeah right, I know where you're going.

Mark: Yeah keep an eye on Sidney.

Detective Wallace: I know where you're going, you're gonna get her some flowers and candy, right? Huh?

Mark: Gimme a break!

Phone Voice: You're not going anywhere Sidney. It's time you came to terms with me, and with mother. Maybe you never knew her at all Sidney... maybe you just can't get past the surface of things.

Sidney: Who the hell are you?

Phone Voice: The other half of you. I searched for a mother too, an actress named "Reena Reynolds" tried to find her my whole LIFE, and four years ago I actually tracked her down. Knocked at her door thinking she'd welcome me with open arms, but she had a new life and a new name, Maureen Prescott! You were the only child she claimed Sidney. She shut me out into the cold forever! Her own son.

[takes off mask to reveal he is Roman Bridger]

Roman: Roman Bridger, director, and brother. She slammed the door in my face, Sid. She said I was "Reena's" child and Reena was dead... and then it struck me. What a good idea, so I watched her. I made a little movie, a little family film. Seems Maureen..."Mom"... she really got around. I mean Cotton was one thing; everybody knew about that. But Billy's father - that was the key. Your boyfriend didn't like seeing his daddy in my film too much. He didn't like it at all. And once I supplied the motivation... all the kid needed was a few pointers. Have a partner to sell out incase you got caught, find someone to frame, it was like he was making a movie.

Sidney: You... this is all because of you.

Roman: I'm a director Sid, I direct.

Sidney: Ah.

Roman: I had no idea, that they were gonna make a film of their own. I mean intoducing Sidney the victim, Sidney the survivor, SIDNEY THE STAR!

Jennifer: Is he dead?

[as Gale looks at Roman's bloody body]

Gale: Really!

Sidney: I don't know who my mother was.

Mark: But you know who she was to you.

Randy: Told ya I'd make a movie someday, huh?

Sidney: Oh my god.

Randy: Well, if you're watching this tape, it means as I feared. I did not survive these killings here at Windsor College. And that giving up my virginity to Karen Kolchec at the video store was probably not a good idea.

Dewey: Karen Kolchec?

Randy: Yes, Karen Kolchec.

Dewey: Creepy Karen?

Randy: Shut up. She's a sweet person, okay? We were working late. We were putting away some videos in the porno section and ya know, shit happens.

paul: [Knocking in background] Open the door Randy.

Randy: 15 minutes.

paul: It's my room too.

Randy: Paul, 15 minutes. I'm leaving my legacy.

[knocking continues]

Randy: 15 minutes Paul. Damn! Anyway, the reason I am here is to help you so that my death will not be in vain; That my life's work will save some other poor soul from getting mutilated. If this killer does come back and he's for real, there are a few things that you gotta remember. Is this simply another sequel? Well if it is, same rules apply. But-here's the critical thing-if you find yourself dealing with an unexpected back story and a preponderance of exposition, then the sequel rules DO NOT apply. Because you are not dealing with a sequel, you are dealing with the concluding chapter of a trilogy.

Dewey: Trilogy?

Randy: That's right, it's a rarity in the horror field but it does exist, and it is a force to be reckoned with. Because true trilogies are all about going back to the beginning and discovering something that wasn't true from the get go. Godfather, Jedi, all revealed something that we thought was true that wasn't true. So if it is a trilogy you are dealing with, here are some super trilogy rules: 1. You got a killer who's going to be super human. Stabbing him won't work. Shooting him won't work. Basically in the third one you gotta cryogenically freeze his head, decapitate him, or blow him up. 2. Anyone including the main character can die. This means you Syd. I'm sorry. It's the final chapter. It could be fucking 'Reservoir Dogs' by the time this thing is through. Number 3. The past will come back to bite you in the ass. Whatever you think you know about the past, forget it. The past is not at rest. Any sins you think were committed in the past are about to break out and destroy you. So in closing, let me say good luck, god speed, and for some of you, I'll see you soon. 'Cause the rules say some of you ain't gonna make it. I didn't, not if you're watching this tape.

Sidney: What do you know about trilogies?

Mark: You mean like movie trilogies?

Sidney: You seem to like movies, Detective.

Mark: Call me "Mark", will you? 'Cause I'm gonna keep calling you Sidney.

Sidney: I'll call you "Mark" when you catch the killer, Detective.

Mark: Well, all I know about trilogies is that in the third one, all bets are off.

Sidney: Did you request this case?

Mark: No. They tend to put me on the ones that deal with the business. I grew up here and I know my way around the studios.

Sidney: Must be exciting. Beautiful place, beautiful people.

Mark: To me, Hollywood is about death.

Sidney: Excuse me?

Mark: I'm a homicide cop. When you see what I see day in and day out, the violence that people do to each other, you get haunted. I think you know about that.

Sidney: What do you mean?

Mark: I know what it's like to see ghosts that don't go away, to be watching a scary movie in your head, whether you want to or not, watching it alone.

Sidney: Ghosts are tough. You can't shoot ghosts.

Mark: Can't arrest ghosts. But the trick to keep from getting haunted is to be with people. You're here, you're not in hiding. You've done the right thing... Miss Prescott.

[Short silence]

Mark: What did you know about your Mother?

Sidney: I always thought I had the perfect Mom, the perfect family until I found out I was wrong. She had a secret life and I tried to understand that. And... soon as I thought... then I had more secrets. I don't know who my Mom was.

Mark: You knew who she was to you.

[They stare at each other, quietly, for a few seconds, then he gets up, putting on his jacket, getting ready to leave]

Mark: Here's the deal: I'm off to search the set. I think that what you saw is real. That's the good news.

Sidney: How's that good news?

Mark: Because it means that we are dealing with a flesh and blood killer, and I know how to handle guys like that.

Sidney: Oh, yeah. How?

Mark: Catch him or kill him.

[He begins walking out of his office]

Sidney: Hey, Detective?

[Turning around to face him]

Sidney: What's your favorite scary movie?

Mark: [Walking back over to her] My life.

[He walks away]

Sidney: [to herself, after Kincaid leaves] Mine, too.

Cotton Weary: Who's this?

Female Caller: Who's this?

Cotton Weary: Who are you calling?

Female Caller: Oh, you know what? I'm sorry. I've have the wrong number.

Cotton Weary: That's okay.

Female Caller: Wait a minute I know your voice. You sound a lot like that guy on TV, um, Cotton Weary.

Cotton Weary: I do huh?

Female Caller: Yeah, I think he's got a really sexy voice.

Cotton Weary: [laughs] well, thank you.

Female Caller: Wait a minute. You are Cotton, aren't you? Oh my God, I am talking to Cotton Weary. I can't believe this.

Cotton Weary: [laugh] You got me, look I've got someone on the other line, can you hold on one second? I'll be right back, I promise.

Female Caller: Yeah... Yeah

Cotton Weary: Okay

Cotton Weary: [switches to car phone] Andrea, I gotta call you back. Someone's on the other line.

Cotton Weary: [switches back to cell phone] So... you a big 100% Cotton fan?

Female Caller: Yeah, 110%.

Cotton Weary: [chuckle] That's very good. So, uh... Why don't you tell me who you are?

Female Caller: Ooh, you're a naughty boy, Cotton. Now, what would your girlfriend say?

Cotton Weary: What makes you think I have a girlfriend?

Phone Voice: [click] I know you do. I'm right outside her bathroom door. She's in the shower. She's got a nice little voice. Let's come in for a closer look. Oh, she's very pretty Cotton. A step up from Maureen Prescott. Speaking of which let's play a little game. Answer right, your girlfriend lives. Answer wrong, she dies. Where's Maureen's Daughter, Sidney?

Cotton Weary: Who the fuck is this?

Phone Voice: Somebody who would kill to know where Sidney Prescott is! One chance Cotton, you've got connections. Where is she?

Cotton Weary: You listen to me you fucking sucker, you lay a finger on Christine, and I swear to God I'll kill you!

Phone Voice: Wrong answer!

[click; dead line]

Roman: I'm gonna check this place out.

Tyson Fox: Woah, woah, just wait one damn minute! There's a psycho killer on the loose and you wanna go traipsing around this gigantic mansion? Have you ever actually seen the Stab movies? Every time this dude enters a room he ends up a god damn shishkabob!

Sidney: It's happening again.

Mr. Prescott: Cotton had a lot of enemies, Sid. The police aren't saying it's related to us.

Sidney: Do you ever think about her?

Mr. Prescott: Your Mom?

Sidney: None of this would've happened if she hadn't... if she hadn't... Why'd she have so many secrets, Dad?

Mr. Prescott: Listen, I think, maybe, it's time that you came home. I'm worried about you, kid. Out here all by yourself, you don't go anywhere, you don't see anyone. The only people you talk to don't even know your real name. It's as if you don't exist.

Sidney: That's the idea. Psychos can't kill what they can't find.

Tyson Fox: Probably just some psycho fan pissed off they killed Randy in STAB 2.

Tom: Well, Tyson, that'd make you next, wouldn't it?

Tyson Fox: I am not a Randy substitute, I'm my own character.

Sarah Darling: Named "Ricky" who works at the video store.

Tyson Fox: It's an homage.

Tom: [Pulling up a stool to join the group] Hey. Hey, what if the killer is Sidney Prescott? I mean, whatever happened to her? She's probably off living in the woods, like the fuckin' unabomber, man.

Angelina Tyler: I'm starting to see why Tori Spelling and David Schwimmer didn't wanna come back.

Sarah Darling: Guys, this was about Cotton. We are not in any danger.

Tyson Fox: "We are not in any danger", says Candy, page 15.

Sarah Darling: I don't see you leaving.

Tyson Fox: [laughs sarcastically] You think serious black actors my age can just throw away jobs? It's all a business now. They got Usher doing "Pinter" off Broadway. LL Cool J's Shakespeare-ing in the park.

Tom: [laughs sarcastically] Yeah.

Angelina Tyler: Maybe it's just not meant to be.

Tom: Not meant to be? You win that new talent search for the new Sidney. 50,000 girls and they pick you? You gotta be praying that this movie keeps going.

Angelina Tyler: Of course, I am, but not at the expense of people's lives.

Tom: Oh, cue the violins, right.

[Angelina begins to look upset, with Tom then making a sarcastic sympathetic sound, forcing Angelina to turn back at, pissed]

Gale: [Walking on set, seeing the replica of Woodsboro, and turning on her camera, hiding it in her purse] Jesus. Deja voodoo.

Jennifer: Gale Weathers!

Gale: [Under her breath] Shit.

Jennifer: Look, I know we've never met and I don't mind you never returning my calls, but I have to tell you that after 2 films, I feel like I am in your mind.

Gale: Mm, well that would explain my constant headaches.

[They begin walking around set]

Jennifer: You know, I'm sorry that things didn't work out on 60 Minutes II, but Total Entertainment, that's a pretty good fallback.

Gale: [They stop walking and turn to face each other] Mm, thank you. I'm sorry that things didn't work out with Brad Pitt, but being single, that's a pretty good fallback.

Jennifer: Gives me more time for my work. After all, Gale Weathers, you're such a complex character.

Gale: Oh, and to played by an actress with such depth and range.

[Turns to walk away and runs into Dewey, who is approaching Jennifer]

Dewey: Jennifer, Nick said... Gale.

Gale, Jennifer: Dewey!

[Gale and Jennifer look at each other]

Dewey: Well, surprise, surprise. Someone dies and Gale comes running.

Jennifer: [Walking over to Dewey's side] Gale, I think you'll really appreciate my character work in this one. Someone's helped me to understand the real you.

Gale: [Looking over at Dewey, pissed off] Someone?

Jennifer: Your ruthless ambition, your private self-loathing, and that lost and lonely little girl inside.

Gale: [Seriously pissed off] Lost and lonely what?

Jennifer: You heard me. Thanks, Dewey. I'll return it.

[She walks away]

Gale: Lost and lonely what?

Dewey: Little girl inside.

Gale: I thought you were supposed to be in Woodsboro?

Dewey: Well, I'm surprised you even thought about me at all. Look, I gotta get back to work. I don't have time for this.

Gale: Wait a minute. You work here?

Dewey: Yeah. The studio needed a technical adviser, someone who went through the real experience, knew the real people.

Tom: [Walking by Gale and Dewey] Hey, Dewey.

Dewey: Hey, Tom.

Tom: [Turns back and approaches them, as he recognizes Gale] Hey, it's the real Gale Weathers.

Gale: Real from top to bottom.

Tom: Ha. Tom Prinze, watch your show all the time. You're so right. Pop Culture is the politics of the 21st Century.

Gale: Mm, thank you.

Tom: And that story you did on me, last month, crashing my car, wow, was that ever powerful journalism.

Gale: Right, um-...

Tom: - I, especially, liked how you implied that it was caused by drinking and drugs and that the whole tire blowout was faked. That was great.

[Walks away]

Gale: Tom, sometimes, in journalism, you-...

Tom: [Continuing to walk away] Are you parked in the lot? 'Cause you should check to see if no one's messed with your break light.

[Walks away completely]

Gale: Who's he supposed to be?

[Dewey smiles sarcastically]

Gale: You? He's playing you? You?

[She laughs histerically]

Dewey: What?

Gale: I didn't come here to fight with you, Dewey. Cotton's killer left a picture.

Dewey: Sid's Mom. The detectives told me.

Gale: Well, does Sidney know about?

Gale: [At Sidney's house, Dewey comes out onto the porch where Gale is, watching Sidney with her dog, Cherokee] Look.

Dewey: Yeah, she's doing great. Look what I found.

[He's holding her book, "The Woodsboro Murders"]

Gale: [She laughs] What are you doing with that?

Dewey: Will you sign it, Gale?

Gale: But you hate that book. Besides, I'm done with that kind of reporting.

Dewey: For me, though. Will you sign it?

Gale: [She laughs again] You're a nut.

[She takes the book and pen]

Gale: Okay.

[She turns to the first blank page, to find a square shape cut out of the pages, with a jewelry box in it's place, a jewelry box with an engagement ring, surprising Gale]

Dewey: Will you?

Gale: [Unsure] Dewey...

Dewey: I know it'll never work, you know it'll never work. But what I'm asking is just to see if we're wrong. We don't know everything, Gale.

[Jokingly]

Dewey: You think you do.

[They both laugh]

Gale: You're a brave man, Dewey Riley.

Dewey: Actually, I'm a little scared right now.

[They both embrace in a passionate kiss, with Gale then placing the ring on his finger, accepting Dewey's proposal]

Gale: [Approaching the archives door, but cannot get in due to the door being locked] Hello?

[She begins looking through her purse and is startled by Jennifer, causing Gale to scream]

Jennifer: Jeez!

Gale: What they Hell are you doing?

Jennifer: Being "Gale Weathers". What the Hell are you doing?

Gale: I AM Gale Weathers.

Jennifer: Here's how I see it: I've got no house, no bodyguard, no movie, and I'm being stalked. Because someone wants to kill me? No, because someone wants to kill you. So, now, starting now, I go where you go that way if someone wants to kill me, I'll be with you, and since they really want to kill you, they won't kill me, they'll kill you. Make sense?

Gale: None!

Jennifer: You know in the movies, I play you as being much smarter.

Gale: And as a sane person. For you, that must be quite a stretch.

Jennifer: [Sarcastically] That's funny.

Gale: [Sarcastically] Ha!

Jennifer: Need to get into the building?

Gale: Yeah!

Jennifer: Is there a story in that building?

Gale: Maybe.

Jennifer: [Holding up her Sunrise Studios access key card] Gale Weathers would find a way.

[She swipes her card, opening the door]

Gale: [Under her breath] Bitch.

[Jennifer tries to enter first, but Gale pushes her back and makes her wait until Gale, herself, enters first]

Jennifer: Don't tell me what to do.

[They both enter the building and begin walking down a staircase, reaching the bottom]

Jennifer: Basements freak me out. Basements freak me out.

Gale: You would make a fascinating interview.

[They hear someone in the building, coughing]

Gale: Hello?

[the two continue walking, turn a corner, and find a Sunrise Studios employee sitting a desk]

Gale: Hi, I'm Gale Weathers and I'm researching, with the police, this photo.

[Places a photo of Maureen Prescott in front of the Sunrise Studios employee]

Gale: Her name is Maureen Prescott, but back that is was Roberts.

[Gale looks at the Sunrise Studios employee with familiarity]

Gale: Hey, are you - -?

Bianca Burnette: - -No!

Jennifer: But you look just-...

Bianca Burnette: - -Like her? I've been hearing it all my life.

[Gale even turns to the nearest wall to find a black and white photo of this woman, whose name is revealed to be Bianca Burnette]

Jennifer: It's uncanny.

Bianca Burnette: I was up for Princess Leia and I was this close, too. So, who gets it? The one who sleeps with George Lucas.

Gale: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up a soar subject for you.

Bianca Burnette: Sure, you didn't, none of them did. So, how can I help you? Or do you want me to tell you who you like?

Gale: [a little insulted] How about some information on Maureen Roberts?

Bianca Burnette: I don't work for the cops, sweetie, I work for the studio.

Gale: Really? Would work for... the President?

[She pulls out a $50 bill and slides it over to Bianca]

Bianca Burnette: [Pushing the money back] The President of the studio.

Jennifer: [as Gale is taking back the money, insulted] $50? Who are you a reporter for? Woodsboro High?

[Jennifer takes off one of her rings and places it in front of Bianca, who stares it, somewhat interested]

Jennifer: It's worth 2 grand. Now, are you gonna help Gale Weathers out or not?

Bianca Burnette: [the scene cuts to file cabinets, with Bianca going through the files] I know every face in here, like out of respect of the unknown actor. They're looking for Maureen Roberts and they're never going to find her. Rina Reynolds they will.

[She pulls out a file on Rina Reynolds, revealed to be a stage name of Maureen Roberts]

Jennifer: Rina Reynolds?

[Smiling with gloat]

Jennifer: Stage name.

Bianca Burnette: [With relish] You should talk, "Judy Jergenstern".

[Jennifer turns away in disgust as Gale laughs in amusement]

Gale: [Looking through the file and coming across the list of movies Maureen had actually starred in for Sunrise Studios back in the '70s] What are these movies? "Amazombies", "Space Psycho", "Creatures from the San Andreas Fault"?

Bianca Burnette: Horror pictures back in Milton's hayday.

Gale, Jennifer: [Shocked] Back in what?

Jennifer: John Milton, the horror producer. Those were his movies.

The Voice: Where's Maureen's daughter Sidney?

Cotton Weary: Who the fuck is this?

The Voice: Somebody who would kill to know where Sidney Prescott is! One chance Cotton, you've got connections. Where is she?

Sidney: Hello?

Phone Voice: Hello?

Sidney: Who is this?

Phone Voice: Who is this?

Sidney: Um..Who's calling?

Phone Voice: Um..Who's calling?

Sidney: Gale? Dewey? Whoever? Call me back. I only hear myself.

Phone Voice: [Voice changer clicks] I only hear you too, Sidney.

Sidney: Who is this?

Phone Voice: The question isn't who I am. The question is. Who's with me?

Dewey: [In the background of the phone call] Sidney, Stay away!

Gale: [in the background of the phone call] Sidney!

[Sidney moves to alert a police officer]

Phone Voice: Don't do it! If you do one thing to attract attention to yourself! One thing! I'll kill them both! Now, do you have somewhere where we can be alone?

Sidney: [her voice cracking] Yes.

Phone Voice: Yeah, go there.

[Sidney moves into another room]

Phone Voice: Oh it's hard being friends with you Sidney, when you're friends with Sidney, you die. Well these friends don't have to Sidney. It's up to you.

Sidney: How do I know there voices...

Phone Voice: ...Are real? How do you know you're not hearing things? How do you know I'm not someone in your head. Somewhere you know

Dewey: [In the background of the phone call] Don't come here, Sidney!

[Ghostface hits Dewey]

Gale: [in the background of the phone call] Dewey!

Phone Voice: Or do you?

Sidney: You're dead.

Dewey: I don't want them. I want you. It's simple. You show yourself, they survive. You run! They die!

[hits Dewey, who groans]

Gale: [in the background of the phone call] Oh God! Oh God!

Dewey: Don't you wanna know Sidney, who killed her. Don't you wanna know who killed your mother?

Sidney: Where?

Phone Voice: She'd have been so happy Sidney. To know we'd be together.

Sidney: Where?

Phone Voice: I'll call you when you're on your way

[Hangs up the phone]

Milton: There'll be other movies, Roman.

Roman: Not only did they, did they kill the film, but they killed my cast. You know, nobody's gonna wanna work with me. Variety called me a Pariah. I don't even know what a Pariah is. Why, why couldn't have somebody kill the cast from Stab 1? Huh? Or Stab 2? Why me? What? John, what did we do wrong?

Milton: Hollywood is full of criminals whose careers are flourishing.

Roman: I'm not a criminal. I, I was questioned, yeah, but that's all. I was questioned. That's it.

Milton: It's good for your mystique.

Roman: You think it'll help me get work?

Jennifer: [Entering John's office with Gale and Dewey] Roman. John.

Milton: Jennifer. And guests. To what do I owe the honor?

Gale: Rina Reynolds.

Roman: Rina Reynolds? Who's Rina Reynolds?

Milton: [to Roman] Why don't head to the house? Tell everybody not to cut the cake without me.

Jennifer: [to Roman] Oh God, I forgot. Your birthday.

Roman: Yeah.

Jennifer: Happy Birthday, Roman.

Roman: [as he exits John's office] Yeah, as if life isn't tragic enough.

Milton: [to Roman, as he leaves] Shut the doors behind you, please.

Dewey: So, you knew Sidney Prescott's Mother?

Milton: Who?

Jennifer: Rina Reynolds?

Milton: Uh, do you know how many actors have worked for me? Hundreds, thousands.

Gale: He didn't say she was an actor.

Jennifer: Good catch.

Milton: So, what's the point?

Dewey: Uh, no point. I'm just gonna give, uh, Detective Kincaid a call.

Milton: I remember. She was a bit player in a couple of my movies... a nobody. So, what does it matter?

Jennifer: Oh, come on. You have made millions off the story of her murder. You're obsessed with her and you're obsessed with her daughter.

Gale: Alright, easy, Geraldo.

[to Roman]

Gale: Why don't you tell us the truth?

Milton: What they Hell are you guys getting at? I make horror films, that's what I do. The studio came to me with Stab, they came to me. Check it out.

Dewey: But you knew who she was?

Milton: When we did the first Stab, I realized I knew Maureen Prescott before... I mean as Rina. I couldn't tell anyone. Can you imagine the press?

Gale: And now? I mean murders on your set and, and... still, you say nothing?

Milton: Get real. That would make me a suspect.

Gale: Just because you knew her?

Milton: Yeah.

Gale: I don't think so. Just what did happen to Maureen when she was in Hollywood?

Milton: Now, you listen to me, Lois Lane, let it go. It's dead and buried.

Gale: How would you like to see it dug up on national T.V.? Why don't you tell me what happened?

Milton: It was in the '70s, everything was different. I was well known for my parties. Rina knew what they were. It was for girls like her to meet men, men who could them parts if they made the right impression. Nothing happened to her that she didn't invite, one way or another, no matter what she said afterwards.

Gale: Are saying she-?

Milton: -I'm saying things got out of hand. Maybe they did take advantage of her, you know? Maybe the sad truth is this is not the city for innocence. No charges were brought. And the bottom line is Rina Reynolds wouldn't play by the rules. You wanna get ahead in Hollywood, you gotta play the game or go home.
