Most scenes together: Laurie Strode & Annie (4), Dr. Sam Loomis & Sheriff Brackett (3), Laurie Strode & Lynda (3)
So Annie, are we still on for tonight?
I wouldn't want to get you in deep trouble, Lynda!
Oh come on Annie! Bob and I have been planning it for weeks.
Alright, the Wallace's leave at seven.
I'm babysitting the Doyle's, it's two houses down. We can keep each other company!
Oh terrific, I've got three choices: Watch the kid sleep, listen to Lynda screw around or talk to you!
Every kid in Haddonfield thinks this place is haunted.
They may be right. Look!
What is that?
It's a dog.
It's still warm.
He got hungry.
...It coulda been a skunk.
Could have, huh?
A man wouldn't do that.
This isn't a man.
I have a feeling that you're way off on this.
You have the wrong feeling.
You're not doing very much to prove me wrong!
What more do you need?
Well, it's going to take a lot more than fancy talk to keep me up all night crawling around these bushes.
I watched him for fifteen years, sitting in a room staring at a wall, not seeing the wall, looking past the wall, looking at this night, inhumanly patient, waiting for some secret, silent alarm to trigger him off. Death has come to your little town, Sheriff. You can either ignore it or you can help me to stop it.
More fancy talk.
Laurie, what's the boogeyman?
There's no such thing.
Was it the boogeyman?
Lindsey I'm scared!
There's nothing to be scared of, now get changed.
Are you sure?
Yes.
How?
I killed him...
You can't kill the boogeyman!
What about the boogeyman?
There's no such thing.
Richie said he was coming after me tonight.
Do you believe everything Richie tells you?
No.
On Halloween night, it's when people play tricks on each other. It's all make-believe. I think Richie was just trying to scare you.
I saw the boogeyman. I saw him outside.
There was nobody outside.
There was!
What did he look like?
The boogeyman.
We're not gettin' anywhere. All right, the boogeyman can only come out on Halloween night, right?...Well, I'm here tonight and I'm not about to let anything happen to you.
Promise?
Promise.
Does anybody live here?
No, not since 1963 when it happened. Every kid in Haddonfield thinks this place is haunted.
They may be right. [After noticing something in the beam of the flashlight] Look!
What? What is that?
It's a dog.
It's still warm.
He got hungry.
...It coulda been a skunk.
Could have, huh?
A man wouldn't do that.
This isn't a man! [he and Sheriff Brackett go upstairs into Judith Myers' bedroom] It happened in here. [walks to the window] He could've been standing outside, seen us right through this window. [a gutter slams into the window, startling Loomis and causing him to draw a revolver] You must think me a very sinister doctor. Oh, I do have a permit.
Seems to me you're just plain scared.
Yes, I am, uh... I met him fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no, uh, conscience, no understanding and even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, of good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child with this blank, pale, emotionless face, and the blackest eyes, the devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him and then another seven trying to keep him locked up, because I realized that what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply...evil.
What do we do?
He's been here once tonight. I think he'll come back. I'm gonna wait for him.
I still think I should notify the radio--
No. If you do that, they'll see him on every street corner, they'll look for him in every house. Just tell your men to keep their mouths shut and their eyes open.
I'll check back in an hour.
Dr. Wynn I'm not responsible, Sam.
Oh, no.
Dr. Wynn I told them how dangerous he was.
You couldn't have! Two roadblocks and an all points bulletin wouldn't stop a five-year-old.
Dr. Wynn Well, he's your patient. If you knew that the precautions weren't strong enough, you should have told somebody.
I told everybody! Nobody listened.
Dr. Wynn There's nothing else I can do.
You can get back in there and get back on that telephone and tell them exactly who walked out of here last night and tell them exactly where he's going.
Dr. Wynn Probably going.
I'm wasting my time.
Dr. Wynn Sam, Haddonfield is 150 miles away from here. For God's sake, he can't drive a car!
He was doing very well last night! Maybe someone around here gave him lessons.
Nothing's going on except kids playing pranks, trick-or-treating, parking, getting high. I have a feeling that you're way off on this.
You have the wrong feeling.
You're not doing very much to prove me wrong!
What more do you need?
Well, it's going to take more than fancy talk to keep me up all night crawling around these bushes.
I watched him for fifteen years, sitting in a room, staring at a wall, not seeing the wall, looking past the wall, looking at this night, inhumanly patient, waiting for some secret, silent alarm to trigger him off. Death has come to your little town, Sheriff. You can either ignore it, or you can help me to stop it.
More fancy talk. Doctor, do you know what Haddonfield is? Families, children, all lined up in rows up and down these streets. You're telling me they're lined up for a slaughterhouse.
They could be.
All right, I'll stay here with you tonight, just on the chance that you're right. And if you are right, damn you for letting him go.
You've got to believe me, Officer, he is coming to Haddonfield... Because I know him - I'm his doctor! You must be ready for him... If you don't, it's your funeral!
Are you fooling around again? Well, I'll kill you if this is a joke.
There's no boogey man, and if you don't stop all this, I'm gonna have to turn off the TV and send you to bed.
Everybody's havin' a good time tonight.
Excuse me, Laurie...I didn't mean to startle you...You know, it's Halloween. I guess everyone's entitled to one good scare.
