Scream is a 1996 film about group of teens being stalked by a psychopathic killer. The film revitalized the slasher film genre by using a tongue-in-cheek approach that successfully combined straightforward scares with dialog that satirized slasher film conventions.

Directed by Wes Craven. Written by Kevin Williamson.

Sidney [edit]

  • Would you settle for a PG-13 relationship?
  • I'm sorry if my traumatized life is an inconvenience to your perfect existence.
  • You sick fucks. You've seen one too many movies!
  • Not so fast, we're going to play a little game. It's called: Guess who just called the police and reported your sorry motherfucking ass!
  • You've gotta find me first you pansy-ass mama's boy!
  • (When she, Tatum, and Dewey are discussing who would play her in a movie, in fact, Tori Spelling plays her character in the fictional stab series) With my luck I'll end up with Tori Spelling
  • (When Ghostface asks her if she likes scary movies) What's the point? They're all the same. Some stupid killer stalking some big-breasted girl who can't act who is always running up the stairs when she should be running out the front door. It's insulting.
  • Are you alone in the house?
  • You know, if, if I was wrong about Cotton Weary, then the killer's still out there.
  • Why can't I be a Meg Ryan movie? Or even a good porno?
  • But this is life. This isn't a movie.
  • Ah, Stu, Stu, Stu... What's your motive? Billy's got one. The police are on their way. What are you going to tell them?
  • How do you - gut someone?

Stu [edit]

  • Everybody dies but us. We get to carry on and plan the sequel, 'cause Let's face it baby, these days, you gotta have a sequel.
  • (After Sidney calls the police) My Mom and Dad are goona be so mad at me!
  • I wanna see breasts. I wanna see Jamie Lee's breasts. When do we see Jamie Lee's breasts?
  • I always had a thing for you, Sid!
  • I can't, man, you cut me too deep, I think I'm dying here man.
  • (After Gale reveals that she was still alive) She looked dead, man. Still does.
  • (Bleeding to death and Billy drops the phone on him) OW! You hit me with the phone, you DICK!!!
  • (After Billy compares Sidney's Mother to Sharon Stone) We put her out of her misery, 'cause, let's face it, Sid, your Mother was no Sharon Stone!
  • You take a knife and you slit 'em from groin to sternum.
  • (After he finds that Gale has stolen the gun) Um.... Houston... we have a problem!
  • I will totally protect you. Yo, I am so buff, I got you covered, girl.
  • (speaking into voicebox) Surprise, Sidney.
  • (After Randy tells him to never say 'be right back') I'm getting another beer. Want one? BE RIGHT BACK!!!!
  • See it's a fun game Sidney. We ask you questions and if you get one wrong, BOO-GAH, you die.
  • (After dragging out Sidney's beaten and bound and gagged Father) What's behind door number three, Sidney?

Billy [edit]

  • (After Sidney says that they've seen one too many scary movies) Now Sid, don't you blame the movies, movies don't create psychos, movies make psychos more creative!
  • What do I have to do to prove to you that I'm not a killer?
  • (After Randy says that Stu has gone completely mad) "'We all go a little mad sometimes.' Anthony Perkins - Psycho."
  • Mmmmm, cornsyrup, same stuff they used for pigs' blood in Carrie.
  • Loose the titties.
  • (After Stu tells Sidney if she gets a question wrong, she dies) If you get it right, you die.
  • (To Sidney) That woman was a slut-bag whore who flashed her shit all over town like she was Sharon Stone or something!
  • It's called subtlety, Stu. You should look it up.
  • (After he asks Sidney to play a game and she says fuck you) We already played that game, remember?
  • (To Sidney) I'm going to rip you up, bitch, just like your fucking mother!
  • (To Sidney as he is about to strangle her) Say hello to your Mother!
  • (To Sidney after she says that life isn't a movie) Sure it is, Sid. It's all a movie. It's all a great big movie. Only you can pick your genre.
  • What's the matter, Sidney? You look like you've seen a ghost.
  • (When Sidney asks why they're murdering people) It's all part of the game, Sidneeeee! It's called GUESS HOW I'M GONNA DIE!
  • It works better without the safety on.
  • This is Gale Weathers, signing off.
  • You hear that Stu? I think she wants a motive. Well, I don't really belive in motives Sid, I mean did Norman Bates have a motive? Did we ever find out why Hannibal Lector liked to eat people? DON'T THINK SO. See it's a lot scarier when there's no motive.

Tatum [edit]

  • Don't go there, Sid, you're starting to sound like some Wes Carpenter flick (combination of Wes Craven and John Carpenter)
  • Billy and his penis don't deserve you, ok?
  • Cut Casper, that's a wrap!
  • Oh you wanna play psycho killer? Ok let's see . . . [mock terror] Oh please don't kill me Mr. Ghostface. I wanna be in the sequel!
  • Well, you're not going to be alone any more, right? If you pee, I pee. Is that clear?
  • (After Gale insults Sidney and she punches her) I'll send you a copy. BAM! bitch went down! I'll send you a copy. BAM! Sid! Super bitch! You are so cool!
  • (To Dewey) Janitor's your superior.

Randy [edit]

  • (After Billy reveals himself as the killer and shoots him) Oh, fuck!
  • EVERYBODY'S A SUSPECT!!!!!
  • Listen up. They found Principal Himbry dead. He was gutted and hung from the goal post on the football field.
  • (After Stu says that he wants to see Jamie Lee Curtis's breasts in Halloween) Breasts? Not until "Trading Places" in 1983. Jamie Lee was always a virgin in horror movies. She didn't show her tits 'til she went legits.
  • If you were the only suspect in a senseless bloodbath - would you be standing in the horror section?
  • Now that Billy tried to mutilate her, do you think Sid would go out with me?
  • (When Randy reveals that he's still alive, and Sidney says that she thought that he was dead) I probably should be. I never thought I'd be so happy to be a virgin.
  • There's always some stupid bullshit reason to kill your girlfriend. That's the beauty of it all! Simplicity! Besides, if it gets too complicated, you lose your target audience.
  • It's the millennium. Motives are incidental.
  • There are certain RULES that one must abide by in order to successfully survive a horror movie. For instance, number one: you can never have sex.
  • See, you push the laws and you end up dead. Okay, I'll see you in the kitchen with a knife.
  • The police are always off track with this shit! If they'd watch Prom Night, they'd save time! There's a formula to it. A very simple formula!
  • This is the moment when the supposedly dead killer comes back to life, for one last scare.
  • (In Jerry Lewis's voice) Tell me something. Did you really put her liver in the mailbox? Because I heard they found her liver in the mailbox next to her spleen and her pancreas.

Ghostface [edit]

  • (Lighthearted, curious tone) What's your favorite scary movie? What comes to mind?
  • I told you not to hang up on me.
  • (After Casey tells him to listen to her) No, you listen to me, you little bitch! You hang up on me and I'll gut you like a fish, understand?
  • (Casey says she's going to call the cops) They'd never make it in time!
  • (After being asked what he wants) To see what your insides look like.
  • IF YOU HANG UP ON ME, YOU'LL DIE JUST LIKE YOUR MOTHER! Do you wanna die, Sidney? Your mother sure didn't!

Casey Becker: [sobbing] Look, you've had your fun now so I think you better just leave or else...
Phone Voice: Or else what?
Casey Becker: [sobbing] Or else my boyfriend will be here any minute, and he'll be pissed when he finds out.
Phone Voice: I thought you didn't have a boyfriend.
Casey Becker: I lied! I do have a boyfriend and he'll be here any second, so your ass better be gone.
Phone Voice: [sarcastically] Sure.
Casey Becker: I swear! [angrily] He's big and he plays football, and he'll kick the shit out of you!
Phone Voice: [mock terror] I'm getting scared! Shakin' in my boots.
Casey Becker: [sobbing] So you better just leave...
Phone Voice: His name wouldn't be... Steve, would it?
[Casey's eyes widen in shock]
Casey Becker: How do you know his name?
Phone Voice: Turn on the patio lights...again.
[Casey, scared, starts turning on the patio lights. She looks outside and sees Steve, tied in a chair and his mouth taped.]
Casey Becker: Oh, God! [she unlocks and opens the door.]
Phone Voice: I wouldn't do that if I were you! [Casey closes and locks the door, in fear.]
Casey Becker: [crying] Where are you? Where are you?
Phone Voice: Guess.
Casey Becker: [sobbing] Please don't hurt him.
Phone Voice: That all depends on you.
Casey Becker: [sobbing] Why are you doing this?
Phone Voice: I wanna play a game.
Casey Becker: [crying] No.
Phone Voice: Then he dies right now!
Casey Becker: [screaming and crying] NO!! No!
Phone Voice: Which is it? [serious tone] Which is it?

Casey Becker: [sobbing] Don't do this. I can't.---
Phone Voice: Name the killer in "Halloween."

Casey Becker: No, it's not! No, it's not. It was Jason.
Phone Voice: Afraid not. No way.
Casey Becker: Listen, it was Jason! I saw that movie 20 goddamn times!---
Phone Voice: Then you should know Jason's mother, Mrs Voorhees was the original killer! Jason didn't show up until the sequel! I'm afraid that was a wrong answer.
Casey Becker: [sobbing] You tricked me.
Phone Voice: Lucky for you, there's a bonus round. But poor Steve, I'm afraid, he's out!
Gale Weathers: Isn't there a back way out of this building?

[Dewey goes to the police car, fast.; Tatum comforts Sidney.]
Gale Weathers: There she is. [She and Kenny appear to Sidney and Tatum.] Sidney! Hi. That was some night. What happened? Are you all right?---
Tatum Riley: [backs away the microphone.] She's not answering any questions, all right? Just leave us alone.---
Sidney Prescott: No. No. Tatum. It's okay. [starts to smile.] She's just doin' her job, right, Gale?
Gale Weathers: Yes, that's right.
Sidney Prescott: So, how's the book?
Gale Weathers: Well, it'll be out later this year.
Sidney Prescott: Oh, I'll look for it. [she turns around to get in the car.]
Gale Weathers: I'll send you a copy!
[Sidney turns around and punches Gale in the face, falling backwards before Kenny catches her.; Dewey exits the car and sees this.]
Kenny: Jeez. Nice shot.
Gale Weathers: Bitch!
[Dewey takes Sidney to his car, with Tatum following.]
Kenny: No, I mean, camera shot.
Deputy Dewey Riley: [to Sidney] Where'd you learn to punch like that?
Tatum Riley: God, I loved it. “I'll send you a copy”, Bam! Bitch went down. “I'll send you a copy”, Bam! Sid, super-bitch! You are so cool.
[Dewey enters Tatum's room, with a bag of ice.]
Deputy Dewey Riley: Thought you might want some ice for that right hook.
[Dewey throws the ice, as Sidney catches it.]
Sidney Prescott: Thanks.
Deputy Dewey Riley: I'll be right next door. Try to get some sleep.
Tatum Riley: Yeah, yeah.
[Dewey leaves.]
Stu Macher: I wanna see breasts. I wanna see Jamie Lee's breasts. When do we see Jamie Lee's breasts?
Randy Meeks: Breasts? Not until "Trading Places" in 1983. Jamie Lee was always a virgin in horror movies. She didn't show her tits 'til she went legits.
Randy Meeks: [looking at Billy's body] Careful. This is the moment when the supposedly dead killer comes back to life, for one last scare.
[Billy starts to rise, but Sidney shoots him in the head, dead.]
