Nancy

Tell me what happened to Kris, Jesse.

Jesse

Someone killed her in her sleep.

Nancy

What? What are you talking about?

Jesse

Don't pretend you don't know, because you do. You said it at the funeral; He's the one who's trying to kill us in our dreams.

Nancy

All I keep hearing is the song...

Jesse

What song?

Nancy
[singing]

"One, two... Freddy's coming for you"...

Jesse

Freddy. That's his name... And he's all in our heads, Nancy.

Nancy

No, that's impossible.

Dr. Holbrook
[knocks on the the door]

Nancy?

Jesse

****. We got to stop this.

Nancy

How?

Jesse

I don't know... Just don't fall asleep. If you die in your dreams, you die for real.

Dr. Holbrook
[after catching Nancy and Quentin with finding Nancy's preschool class picture]

Give me the picture.

Nancy

I don't understand. You said that... You said that we didn't know each other, but we were all in this picture... we went to school together-

Dr. Holbrook

Give me the picture, it's okay.

Nancy

Why would you lie to me?

I didn't lie.

It's right here! Why would you lie to me? Stop lying to me!

I'm not lying to you!

Quit lying to me!

STOP LYING TO ME!

I'M NOT LYING TO YOU! I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH YOUR LIFE WITH THIS MEMORY! I didn't want you to remember! I wanted you to forget!

Nancy
[starts sobbing]

Remember what?! [looks at her class picture] What happened at that preschool?

Nancy Holbrook

There was a man at the preschool...

Dr. Holbrook

His name was Fred Kruger. He was a gardener, who lived in the basement of the preschool. And you kids were his life. We didn't want to believe it at first. You were all so innocent. And you, Nancy. You were his favorite of all. And then, we started to notice things...

So what did you do? Did you call the police?

Dr. Holbrook

He left town before we got a chance to confront him. He's gone. He can't hurt you anymore. So these dreams, that you're having, They're...they're repressed memories, from a terrible terrible time.

Nancy

I hope you are right.

Dr. Holbrook
[In flashback, as the parents prepare to kill Freddy. Alan, Gwen, and another parent are at the back of Alan's car. Alan pulls out a gallon of gasoline.]

This isn't the right way! We have to-

Parent

Then what is the right way?! Our kids, getting on a stand, and having to tell a roomful of people what happened to them?!

Dr. Holbrook

No, no, no! We have to contact the-

Alan

He's right, Gwen! He's right! This ends tonight!

Hey Mom? I know you were just trying to protect me. Thank you.

I'm just glad you're safe.
