A Nightmare on Elm Street quotes

Page 2 of 3

What I learned in the dream clinic. That's what I'm trying to prove, Mother. Rod didn't kill Tina and he didn't hang himself. There's this guy; he's after us in our dreams.

But that's just not reality, Nancy.

[pulling Krueger's hat out of a drawer]

It's real, Momma. Feel it.

Give me that damn thing!

It even has his name written in it. Fred Krueger, mom. Fred Krueger! Do you know who that is, Mother? Because if you do, you better tell me 'cause he's after me now.

Nancy, trust your mother for once, please. You'll feel better when you get some sleep.

Feeling better?! You call this feeling better?! Or maybe I should grab that bottle and veg out with you. Avoid everything happening to me by just getting good and loaded.

[Marge slaps her]

Fred Krueger can't come after you, Nancy. He's dead! Believe me, I know.

You knew about him all this time, and you've been acting like he was someone I made up!

You're sick, Nancy. You're imagining things. You'll feel better when you sleep, (picks up a bottle of gin) It's as simple as that.

[throws bottle of gin onto floor]

Screw sleep!

Nancy! It's only a nightmare!

That's enough!

You believe it's possible to dream about what's going to happen?

No.

You believe in the bogeyman?

No. Rod killed Tina, and you know it.

Rod

Had a hardon this morning when I woke up, Tina. Had your name written all over it.

There's four letters in my name, Rod. How could there be room on your joint for four letters?

Rod
[brief laughter]

Hey, up yours with a twirling lawn mower!

[Rod walks away]

Nyahh. Rod says the sweetest things.

He's nuts about you.

Yeah, nuts.

[after sex]

I knew there was something about you I liked.

Rod

You feel better now, right?

Jungle man fix Jane.

Rod

No more fights?

No more fights.

Rod

Good. No more nightmares for either of us then.

When did you have a nightmare?

Rod

Guys can have nightmares too, y'know. You ain't got a corner on the market or something.

All day long I've been seeing that guy's weird face, and hearing those fingernails...

Fingernails? That's amazing, you saying that. It made me remember the dream I had last night.

What'd you dream?

I dreamed about this guy in a dirty red and green sweater.

But what about the fingernails?

He scraped his fingernails along things. Actually, they were more like finger-knives or something, like he'd made them himself. Anyway, they made this horrible noise (imitates screeching noise)

Nancy. You dreamed about the same creep I did, Nancy.

That's impossible.

[about Tina]

She dreamed this would happen. She had a nightmare about somebody trying to kill her last night. That's why we were there, Mom. She was afraid to sleep alone.

[to Glen]

I asked you to do just one thing. Just stay awake and watch me. Just wake me if it looked like I was having a bad dream. And what did you do, you shit? (hits Glen's knee) You fell asleep.

[to Marge]

His name is even in it, written right in here! Fred Krueger. Fred Krueger! You know who that is, Mom? You better tell me, cause now he's after me!
