“Don't you **** move! Okay, okay, okay. Everybody slow down. I have...” – Cotton Weary, Scream 2 ... Movie Quotes Database

Cotton Weary

[Cotton Weary, carrying a gun, arrives as Mrs. Loomis is holding Sidney hostage with a knife to her neck] [fires the gun in the air]

Don't you **** move! Okay, okay, okay. Everybody slow down. I have had a very, very bad day, and I would like to know exactly what the **** is going on here. Sidney?

Sidney Prescott

Cotton, meet Billy Loomis' mother. She's the killer.

Cotton Weary

What? [Notices Mickey's body] Then who's that?

Sidney Prescott

The other killer, Mickey.

Cotton Weary

[steps over Mickey's body]

...O-kay...

Sidney Prescott

Look, Cotton...

Cotton Weary

Shut up. [Speaks to Mrs. Loomis] So...hi. You're, uh, not Debbie Salt, are you? You're not with the Post Telegraph.

Mrs. Loomis

No, but I can still help you, Cotton.

Cotton Weary

Ah-ah-ah.

Mrs. Loomis

[desperate]

You don't need her. Let me kill her! As long as she's alive, you're never going to be the lead story. That's what you really want, isn't it, Cotton? If you really wanna be in the spotlight, just let me kill her...right now. Then you're the only survivor. You're the star! [Yells in rage] SHE SENT YOU TO PRISON FOR A YEAR! Personally, I think it's rather poetic!

Sidney Prescott

[Cotton thinks about something]

No. No, Cotton, don't you listen to her.

Cotton Weary

Oh. Well...it's quite a predicament you're in, Sid.

Sidney Prescott

Cotton...

Cotton Weary

I mean, she makes a good point. [chuckles] Let me think about this. Maybe you should, too. Bet you that Diane Sawyer interview's looking real good right about now.

Sidney Prescott

[A few tense moments pass as Cotton continues holding his gun at Sidney and Mrs. Loomis, while Mrs. Loomis smiles, believing she had successfully convinced Cotton to let her kill Sidney, until Sidney finally speaks...]

Consider it done.

Cotton Weary

[Upon hearing those words, Mrs. Loomis becomes horrified, realizing that she has actually not convinced Cotton to let her kill Sidney at all, just as Cotton ultimately fires the gun, striking Mrs. Loomis in the neck and killing her, while Sidney remains unharmed]

Wow. That...was intense.
