Charley Brewster

Look, Detective Lennox, Jerry Dandridge is a vampire!

Detective Lennox

Yeah, sure, and I'm Dirty Harry! Now let me tell you something, kid. If I ever catch your ass down at the station house again, I'm throwing it in jail FOREVER!

Peter Vincent

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

Charley Brewster

I believe in vampires.

Peter Vincent

That's nice. If only there had been more of you, perhaps my ratings would've been higher.

[finds Charlie'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.

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.

That's murder, Charlie!

Charley Brewster

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

[teasingly]

Amy, what're we gonna do? This is just like Fright Night!

Newscaster
[playback on tape]

Now for the 2 o' clock 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.

Charlie 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?

Yeah!

Charley Brewster

I tried him already.

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

Charley Brewster

There's NOT enough time, Amy!

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

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

Charlie, 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. Alright, try him again.

Alright, now you promise you're not gonna do anything until you hear from us, okay?

[Charlie nods glumly]

Okay, come on!

Charley Brewster

Amy, you don't believe me, do you?

Charley, I love you.

[sees an alley]

Hey, let's cut through.

Charley Brewster

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

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?

Oh, **** you, Brewster.

Charley Brewster

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

Forget it. You may be chicken shit but I'm not.

Amy
[starts walking into the alley]

What do we do?

Charley Brewster

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

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! [Charley and Amy run back to "Evil" Ed]

Charley Brewster

Jesus, I warned him!

Charley Brewster

You can't kill me here.

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.

Welcome to Fright Night... for real!

Charley Brewster

Where's Amy?

Up here, all you have to do is get by me.

Peter Vincent
[brandishing a crucifix]

Back, spawn of Satan!

[chuckles]

Oh, really?

[Dandridge grabs the cross, crushes it, and throws it aside]

You have to have faith for this to work on me, Mr. Vincent!
