5 scenes Dewey [Over the phone]
But, Sid, promise me. No matter what you hear or what you see on the news, don't come here.
No offense, Dewey, I have no intention of ever setting foot in that town again.
Dewey Good.
Dewey, whoever this killer is after, I'm glad they have you to protect them. [Gets emotional] You be safe, okay?
Dewey Will do.
It's good to hear your voice.
Dewey You, too, Sid.
Dewey [Notices Gale's camera operator and assistant]
Couldn't resist a good story, could you?
Don't be an idiot, Dewey. I'm here because I was worried about you... Okay, yes! My producers wanted me to cover this for obvious reasons, but ninety percent is because of you.
Dewey Well, I feel ninety percent better.
You are a lot of things, Dewey, but you are NOT a coward. You just, you just were meant to be in Woodsboro.
Dewey And you weren't.
Dewey [At the hospital, Dewey and Ghostface are fighting each other, with Ghostface about to stab Dewey]
Not today!
Dewey [He quickly kicks Ghostface off him, then grabs his gun, managing to shoot Ghostface and cause him to collapse on the floor. Dewey then gets Sam, Tara, and Richie to the hospital's elevator, but stops before he can join them]
The head.
What?
Dewey You have to shoot them in the head, or they always come back.
Dewey! Who gives a f**k?
Dewey I do.
No, Dewey!
[The elevator doors close. Dewey, carrying his gun, walks over to the still-unconscious Ghostface and prepares to shoot him. As he does, Dewey's cell phone suddenly rings, immediately waking up Ghostface, who violently stabs Dewey in the stomach and then in the back]
Yes, today! [Raises both his knives, violently slicing Dewey's chest and back open. A fatally-wounded Dewey has enough time to notice that Gale was trying to call him on his phone, and he smiles, ignoring Ghostface speaking] It's an honor. [Removes the knives and kicks a now-dead Dewey to the ground]
Wes
[Suspecting Dewey as the killer]
You got stabbed a billion times, got dumped by your famous wife, and crawled into a bottle. I think it's safe to say you're on the suspect list.
Dewey Well, maybe you're the killer. Because that cut deep.
