10 scenes
[Freddy attacks Kristen as a snake. Kristen pulls Nancy into her dream. Nancy, after finding out that Kristen is being eaten alive by Freddy, she grabs a shard of glass and jabs it into Freddy's eye. Freddy screams in pain and lets Kristen free. He then drops his eyes on Nancy.]

You!

Nancy

Oh, my God. Run!

[while fighting with the hospital crew, she grabs a scalpel and cuts Max's arm. She then poises to attack again]

Five, six, grab a crucifix. Seven, eight, better stay up late. Nine, ten, never... never...

Nancy
[appearing at the doorway]

Never sleep again. (walks toward Kristen) Where did you learn that rhyme?

Nancy
[referring to the model house that Kristen built herself]

I used to live in this house.

That's just a house I dream about.

[talking about Freddy]

The man in my dreams, he's real, isn't he?

Nancy

He's real.

Nancy
[at a group meeting]

I know who's trying to kill you.

Save it lady. We're not in the mood.

Nancy

He wears a dark brown hat. He has razors on his right hand. His skin is badly burned.

Wh-who is he?

Nancy

His name is Freddy Krueger. He was a child murderer when he was alive. After he died, he became something much, much worse. Six years ago, he killed my friends. He almost killed me. And now he's back.

But why is he after us?

Yeah, what did we do?

Nancy

It's not you. It's your parents, my parents. They burned him alive, and now we're paying for their sins. You are the last of the Elm Street children.

Mom and Dad? That's crazy, they never mentioned anything like that.

[sarcastically]

Oh yeah, that's just the kind of thing your parents want to let you know. "Good night darling, say your prayers. Oh by the way your dad and I just torched some maniac last night".

Nancy

He's strong; he's never been this strong.

Yes. The souls of the children give me strength.

[holding Joey over the balcony]

Joey, look. All the little piggies come home.

Nancy

Let him go, Krueger!

Your wish is my command.

Sister Mary Helena/Amanda Krueger
[to Dr. Gordon]

Only one thing can save the children now. The unquiet spirit must be laid to rest...

Nancy
[walks in]

Neil? What are you doing up here?

Dr. Gordon

Oh, I was just talking to...

Nancy
[turns around and Mary Helena is gone]

To who?

[at a group meeting, after Freddy kills Phillip]

He's turning us against each other so we will be weak.

Bullshit.

Nancy

No, she's right.
