Scream (2022) quotes, page 2

Ghostface

Hello, Sidney.

Sidney

Hello, there. Where'd you go?

Ghostface

Oh, this isn't Amber. I'm the other one.

Sidney

Oh, there's two of you...again. I've seen this movie before.

Ghostface

Not this movie, Sidney.

Sidney

You really need some new material. [Shoots door]

Ghostface

I got you here, didn't I?

Sidney

You might actually be the most derivative one of all. I mean, Christ, the same house? [Shoots door]

Ghostface

Maybe so, but you forgot the first rule of surviving a 'Stab' movie: never answer the...

Sidney

I'm bored.

Ghostface

Wait!
[Sidney ends the call]

Tara

Hello?

Ghostface

Hello. [Speaking in the manner and tone of a slightly nervous man] Is Christina there?

Tara

No, she's not available. May I take a message?

Ghostface

Uh, yeah, um...yeah, sorry. I'm a friend of hers from group. I...oh, shit!

Tara

"From her sh*t?"

Ghostface

Um, look, just, uh, tell her I'm from group. I'm Charlie. She's got my number.

Tara

Oh, she goes to your group?

Ghostface

I shouldn't have...um, just tell her that Charlie called.

Tara

And I will do exactly that, Charlie. Why don't you tell me what kind of group we're talking about? Is it A&A? NA?

Ghostface

Well, you sound exactly like she describes you.

Tara

Uh, she talks about me in group?

Ghostface

Uh, I don't think I can really talk about that.

Tara

What does she say about me?

Ghostface

Well, she loves you very much.

Tara

Oh, what does she love about me?

Ghostface

Uh, okay, well, she loves that you're creative. You love art and TV and movies.

Tara

Okay, well, lots of people love movies.

Ghostface

Yeah, but she says you love scary movies, and that you guys have that in common. She's proud of making a fan out of you.

Tara

She is?

Ghostface

Yeah. She told me the other day, she wonders... [Speaks in his normal tone] What's your favorite scary movie?

Tara

Uh, The Babadook. It's an amazing meditation on motherhood and grief.

Ghostface

Isn't that a little... fancy-pants?

Tara

Well, it's elevated horror.

Ghostface

Uh-huh. Uh, what does that mean? "Elevated horror"?

Tara

You know, it's like scary, but with complex, emotional and dynamic underpinnings. It's not just some schlocky, cheeseball nonsense with wall-to-wall jump scares.

Ghostface

Hmm. That sounds kind of boring to me. Have you ever seen "Stab"?

Tara

Once, I think. I was a little girl. I was, like, 12.

Ghostface

You live in Woodsboro, and you don't know "Stab"? Well, your mom loves that movie. She talks about it all the time in group. How well do you remember the original?

Tara

I don't know. I mean, it's, like, super-90s. It was really over-lit and everyone had weird hair.

Ghostface

Uh-huh. Do you remember the beginning?

Tara

Not really. It started with a kill scene, right? They always started with a kill scene.

Ghostface

Yeah, that's right. That's right. It's a girl at home, alone. She answers the wrong number and starts talking with the killer, who makes her play a game. [Pause] Would you like to play a game...Tara?
[Becoming uneasy, Tara hangs up and uses her phone to lock the doors. She sends a message to her friend Amber before closing the curtains. Another phone rings, and Amber sends a message telling Tara to answer the phone. When Tara questions that how does Amber know this, she gets a reply that says, "This isn't Amber", and then more replies demanding her to answer the phone. Scared, Tara answers the phone]

Tara

This isn't f***ing funny, Amber!

Ghostface

I told you. This isn't Amber. [Tara sees a video message on her phone, revealing Amber being filmed at her bedroom] Amber's looking particularly fetching tonight. She really shouldn't leave her phone lying around for anyone to clone.

Tara

What do you want?

Ghostface

I told you. I wanna play a game. "Stab" movie trivia. Three rounds. You call the cops, she dies. You get a question wrong, she dies. Her parents aren't at home. I can be in that room in, like, 15 seconds. You want a warm-up question?

Tara

I told you, I don't know about any of these movies! Ask me about something I do know! Ask me about It Follows! Ask me about Hereditary! Ask me about The Witch!

Ghostface

In the first "Stab" movie, what Woodsboro name was introduced as the franchise's main character?

Tara

It's Sidney Prescott! It's Sidney Prescott, and she lived on Elm.

Ghostface

Correct! You see? You're gonna do great at this. Okay, Question 1.

Tara

No, no, no, no, no! I got that one right! It should count!

Ghostface

Anyone could've gotten that one right. Sidney's in every movie but the last one. Question 1: Who wrote the original book that the "Stab" movies are based on?

Tara

Um...um...that chick from TV.

Ghostface

"That chick from TV" is not gonna cut it, Tara.

Tara

Oh, Gale Weathers! It is Gale Weathers, you mother****er!

Ghostface

Correct. Amber might live to see the sunrise. Question 2: Who played the dumb bitch at the beginning of "Stab 1", who answers the phone and gets carved up by the killer?

Tara

F**k you!

Ghostface

Is that the answer you're going with? [Tara whimpers and checks the information on her phone] A non-answer counts as a wrong answer, Tara. Time's running out. Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.

Tara

Heather Graham!

Ghostface

Correct! You pulled that one out. Now for the final question: Who was the killer in "Stab 1"?

Tara

Oh, I know this one, you f***! It's Billy Loomis! It's Billy Loomis, and he was Sidney's boyfriend, and he was played by Luke Wilson, and I got you, you asshole! I got it! I got it right!

Ghostface

Oh, I'm sorry, Tara, but that's just not correct.

Tara

What? No, no, no, no, no! It is! It is! That is right!

Ghostface

The correct answer is Billy Loomis...and Stu Macher. There are two killers in the original "Stab". I'm afraid someone's got to die now.

Sheriff Hicks.

Ghostface

Hello, Sheriff Judy.

Who is this?

Ghostface

I think you know. I'm a fan of scary movies and knives. What's your favorite scary movie?

I prefer animated films and musicals. Why are you doing this?

Ghostface

I'll tell you all about it. I'm going to turn myself in.

That's a great idea.

Ghostface

We'll sit down at the station, and I'll tell you all about the two people I've killed.

You've only killed one person.

Ghostface

By the time I see you, I'll have gutted your baby boy.

This is Sheriff Hicks! I need units to converge on my house ASAP!

Ghostface

Can't get him on the phone, can you? He must be busy.

How do I know you're anywhere near him?

Ghostface

You ever seen the movie Psycho?

Please...don't hurt my boy.

Ghostface

Why not?

He's a good kid.

Ghostface

Is he now?

He'd never hurt anyone!

Ghostface

That's not enough.

Please! I'll do anything!

Ghostface

You're not gonna make it in time, Sheriff Judy.

Dewey Riley

Well maybe you're the killer, because that one cut deep...

Richie Kirsch

Because nobody takes the true fans seriously, not really. They just laugh at us, and why? Because we love something? We're just a **** joke to them! How can fandom be toxic? It's about love! You don't **** understand, these movies are important to people.

Sidney Prescott

I've been through this. A lot. This is your life, now, which means that whoever this is is going to keep coming for you.

Sam Carpenter

Never **** with the daughter of a serial killer.

Richie Kirsch

Thank God, you're okay! [Stabs Sam] Because I really, really wanted to be the one to kill you.

Sidney Prescott

Whatever his link is to our past, it's pulled us all back here. And I won't sleep until he's in the ground.

Dewey Riley

Ghostface is back. Don't come to Woodsboro. Hope all is well. [Adds a smile emoji to the end of the text]
