Tara Carpenter quotes from Scream VI (2023)

Tara Carpenter

What the ****?

I never deleted his contact. It's coming from his number.

Tara Carpenter

Don't pick that up. Just let it ring. [Sam chooses to answer the call] Sam...

Who is this?

Ghostface

Hello, Samantha. Did you miss me?

I want you to think long and hard about whether you really want to do this, because the last two people that **** with us ended up dead.

Ghostface

You should be thanking me, Sam. Jason and Greg were gonna kill you and your sister. I gutted them before they had the chance.

So, what? You're protecting us now?

Ghostface

Not quite. I’m going to show the world who you really are, a liar and a killer. I’m going to punish you, Sam.

You shouldn't believe everything you read on the Internet, asshole.

Ghostface

Don’t be cute. You’re gonna pay for what you did. And I’m not gonna stop until I butcher you, you and anyone who gets between us! You and Tara better watch your backs.

You better watch yours.

Tara Carpenter

How'd you get past what happened to you?

Kirby Reed

I almost died after I was stabbed. Technically I did die for like 4 minutes. When I recovered, I got mad. I didn't want to spend the rest of my life being afraid of monsters. I wanted the monsters to be afraid of me.

Tara Carpenter

I like that.

Kirby

It's okay!

Sam

Stay the **** back!

Tara

We know it's you, Kirby!

Kirby

But one of them knocked me out!

Kirby, stop! Get away from those girls!

Kirby

What are you doing here?

You killed Quinn? YOU KILLED MY DAUGHTER?!

Kirby

JESUS CHRIST! [to Sam] Whatever he is saying, don't trust him! He's probably the killer!

Great job. [Another Ghostface walks in and stands next to Wayne, showing that there are three killers behind the murders] Both of you.

Tara Carpenter

You?

Yeah, of course, me. Frankly, I expected more from the two of you after what you did to us.

Tara Carpenter

What do you mean "us"?

Ta-da.

Mindy was right. It was easy to juke the roommate lottery. I mean, all I had to do to meet you was room with a conceited, condescending alpha literally named Chad. ****, it felt good to kill him! [Shows his mask] This was your grandmother's, Sam. Nancy Loomis. Really runs in your **** family, doesn't it? Speaking of family...

Wait for it.

My name's not Ethan Landry. Isn't it, Dad?

Tara Carpenter

Dad?

Wait. If it's you two, that just leaves... [Looks at the Ghostface on the right] Mindy?

Hey, roomies. You didn't see that one coming, did you?

Tara Carpenter

Yeah, because you died!

I kind of didn't, though...it was a good way to get off the suspect list. Stabbed Gale Weathers, stabbed Mindy on the train, that sort of thing.

Yep, and I just made sure I was first on the scene so I could switch her body out with a fresh one. Little fake blood, a prosthetic. You'd be amazed at what a grieving father can get away with.

I got Stu Macher's mask. He was my favorite.

That's number 3. That's two. This leaves... [Reveals his own Ghostface mask] ...your father's. This is what we've been counting down to, Sam. I'm gonna need you to put it on.

**** you!

OOOHHH!

Tara Carpenter

You stay the **** away from her!

What is this? You did this as a family?

Oh, yeah, bitch. You should know better than anyone.

They're still not getting it.

Look, I don't know what you believe, but I didn't commit those murders in Woodsboro! It wasn't me!

Oh, we know that. Of course you didn't. What do you think? This is based on some bullshit conspiracy theory? Come on. Who do you think started the rumors about you in the first place?

Do you know how easy it was to turn Sam from the hero of Woodsboro into the villain? How easy it is to convince the world to believe the worst in people rather than the best?

Because it's not enough to just kill someone these days. You have to assassinate their character first. So when Dad here "discovers" your horribly mutilated bodies posed with Sam wearing her father's mask, he'll say some poor, dumb bastard read on the Internet that you're the real Ghostface and took matters into their own deluded hands.

Exactly. That's why it's a perfect alibi. And all the best lies are based on the truth. And you're a killer, just like your father.

No, I'm not!

Yes, you are, you mother****er! You killed our brother!

What are you talking about?

Tara Carpenter

You said your brother died in a car accident.

No, no, no, you sweet, dumb thing. He died in Woodsboro, at the hands of your bitch sister.

You're Richie's family.

Yeah.

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding! Now she's finally starting to get it!

Now, it wasn't until I saw that photograph of what you've done to him that I knew, that I knew you had to **** die! You had to be punished, along with anyone else who stands in our way!

There she is. There's the **** killer.

Tara Carpenter

Real great parenting job, by the way.

Shut your whore-**** MOUTH! [Pushes Tara and Sam towards Wayne]

Have I been a perfect dad? No. Have I maybe overindulged Richie's love of these little movies? Maybe. For me, they're just a little dark. But...Richie really loved them. Loved them. He even made a few of his own. Did you know? [Stares mournfully at footage of Richie playing on a damaged theater screen] There's a very special bond between a father and his first son, which is why I helped him build this collection.

This was all his?

Yes. He's a very passionate collector. And he inspired others. We had to kill those two wannabe film students because, well, we had to kill you first, Sam. I put the theater in their name, then good old Detective Bailey would've just stumbled on it, but I didn't have to, because, by golly, that Gale Weathers is one hell of a journalist. I built a tribute to my son, which is why this is where you have to die, Sam, surrounded by all the things he loved the most.

What happens next? What? After you're done with us, what? You just disappear?

No. We gotta hurry over to the hospital and make sure Mindy and Gale don't pull through. [Angrily pulls out his gun] Because everybody dies, Sam! Everyone who had anything to do with the death of my son suffers and dies!

YEAH!

**** yeah, they do!

Now put on the mask!

He was...so pathetic.

That's not true.

Yeah, your son. He was a manbaby who made his girlfriend do all the killing.

He was a strong, virile young man!

He was a limp-dick little **** who cried before I slit his throat.

What?!

SHUT THE **** UP!!

Recognize this?

Kirby

**** YOU!

Sorry, but I kinda need this. [Plunges the knife off of Kirby's stomach]

Kirby

**** 'em up!

What are you gonna do about it, bitch?
[To Ethan's surprise, Sam stabs him multiple times]
