Scream (2022) · 25 quotes
Dewey
Couldn't resist a good story, could you?
Gale
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.
Gale
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.
Sidney
Sam, I want you to help us kill him.
Sam
You want me to help you and the host of a morning show to commit murder?
Gale
Correct.
Sidney
Yeah.
Sidney
I put a tracker on her car.
Gale
You did what?
Sidney
Seems like something Gale Weathers would do.
Gale
I'll take that as a compliment.
Gale
If I hadn't written that book about your mother, none of this would have happened.
Sidney
Gale...
Gale
I started all this.
Sidney
No, you didn't. Billy Loomis started this, and we're gonna end it. After tonight, no more books, no more movies, no more f***ing Ghostface.
Amber
Help me! Help me! He stabbed me!
Sidney
What do you think?
Gale
Trap.
Amber
F**k it! [Shoots Gale]
Richie
Someone has to save the franchise! You see, no one has made a great "Stab" movie since the first one. Not really. [To Amber] Hey, baby, you want to go get the very ex-Mrs. Riley?
Amber
Yeah, I do.
Richie
Sidney Prescott. You know, I'm a really big fan.
Sidney
Go f**k yourself.
Richie
You see the last "Stab" movie?
Sidney
Not really a fan of scary movies.
Richie
That checks out. Anyway, it sucked balls. Because nobody takes the true fans seriously, not really. They just laugh at us, and why?! Because we love something?! We're just a f***ing joke to them?! How can fandom be toxic? It's about love! They don't f**king understand these movies are important to people!
Sam
Richie...
Richie
And we're gonna help them! Hollywood's totally f***ing out of ideas, so we decided we'd give them some new source material to follow. You know, bring it back to basics. Because that's how you make a great "Stab" movie, Sam. Based on actual events.
Sam
You did all this just to make me the hero of your fuced-up movie?
Richie
Sweetie, you’re not the hero. You’re the villain. The daughter of Billy Loomis who sees f***ed-up visions of her dead dad. Sidney Prescott killed your father. You...did all this just to get her back to Woodsboro.
Amber
You know what the biggest problem with the "Stab" movies is? There’s no Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees, no bad guy to keep coming back. But the illegitimate daughter of the original mastermind? Now that’s a **** villain.
Sam
How did you know?
Amber
About your father? [giggling] I mean, it’s a small town and your mom’s a drunk! [she nods toward Richie, who smiles] I met Richie on the "Stab" subreddit. I’ve been obsessed ever since my parents bought this house. We realized pretty quickly we had similar ideas.
Richie
Wasn’t that hard for me to find you in Modesto. It wasn’t that hard for me to **** you, either. But I guess being a sexually available woman is supposed to be empowering these days.
Sam
F**k you!
Richie
Well, now you’re just quoting the original.
Amber
But it wouldn’t work with just you, Sam. See, we had to bring the legacy characters back to make it matter. Can’t have a bona fide Halloween without Jamie Lee!
Richie
Nope!
Amber
Dewey had to die to make it real, to show that this wasn’t just some bullshit, cash-in, run-of-the-mill sequel. [Gale looks up in shock and disbelief; Amber suddenly raises her voice] Because OUR MOVIE HAS **** STAKES!!! [Speaks in a sing-song tone] ‘Cause anyone can die in a requel.
Richie
Goddamn it! [Speaking to Sidney, fiercely] Whoa, whoa! No, hey, sit the **** down! [calmer] I’m so sorry, Sid. We can’t let you live, either. I mean, surviving this many times, that would just be ridiculous. [Speaks in a true evil and delusional tone] This time, the fans are gonna be the ones who win. [To Amber] That about cover it?
Amber
Nailed it, baby.
Richie
Get Tara out of the closet. We got to go start staging the bodies!
Gale
Stay with me, Sid. Stay with me.
Richie
You really should’ve listened to Dewey! He nailed it in one! "Dude, look at the love interest!" Are you **** stupid? I even had you convinced it could be your sister.
Amber
Um, she’s not here.
Richie
The f*ck do you mean she’s not here?
Amber
She’s not here!
Sam
I untied her. [Richie looks at Sam, shocked] Guess you’re not as persuasive as you thought.
Sam
It’s for you.
Richie
Yeah. Like your gimpy little sister's gonna make a difference. She’s our f***ing pincushion at this point. [he calls out to Amber] Amber, fan out! She couldn’t have gotten far!
Amber
I can’t find her!
[Tara suddenly jumps out and tackles Amber]
Amber
No, no, no, no, no, no! It's not my fault, it's not my fault!
Sidney
Let me guess, the movies made you do it?
Amber
No, no, no, it was the message boards! I was radicalized!
Gale
By movie fans?
Amber
Yes, they're so mad! Please, it's not my fault! I'm just a dumb kid, I just wanted to be a part of something!
Gale
A part of something? You killed my best friend!
Amber
Yeah, and he died like a pussy. [Gale punches Amber, resuming the fight. Amber gets the upper hand, choking Gale] I was the last thing Dewey saw before he died! I can't believe I get to do you both! No last-minute saves this time! Your story's over! Time to pass the torch!
Gale
It's all yours, b*tch! [Headbutts Amber and kicks her against the kitchen stove, which turns on. Gale looks at Sidney] Do you wanna do the honors?
Sidney
This one's yours.
Amber
No, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop! I'm sorry about Dewey!
Gale
F**k you!
Sidney
Enjoy that torch.
Richie
What are you gonna do now, huh? Make a scary phone call to me? Pop your head out of the closet in a Ghostface mask? No. Because you're the villain! And the villain dies at the end! Those are the rules!
Sam
I'm introducing a new rule.
Richie
And what might that be, huh? [Aims his gun at Sam] Well?! [Laughs arrogantly and evilly]
Sam
Never f**k with the daughter of a serial killer.
[Hearing Sam say the rule causes Richie to frown in confusion, until Sam grabs the knife and plunges it straight into Richie's mouth. As Richie recoils from the sudden attack, dropping his gun in the process, Sam proceeds to attack him viciously, stabbing him dozens of times in the exact same manner of Ghostface stabbing a victim, all while Richie screams in pain and shock. Sam then stops stabbing and raises the knife, as Richie, his arrogant behavior now destroyed and replaced with fear, cowardly begins pleading for mercy]
Richie
WAIT! Wait! What about my ending?!
Sam
Here it comes. [Slashes his throat]
Richie
Aah! No!
Sidney
Careful. They always come back.
Gale
Okay, then.
Tara
I still prefer The Babadook.
