Mrs. Harper : I don't see why you wanna waste your time with a guy who works in a filling station.
Amy Harper : It's a first date, Mama. We're not getting married.
-
Funhouse : I've been expecting you.
Amy Harper : Why are you doing this? Why are you trying to kill us?
Funhouse : I'm just protecting my family.
Amy Harper : Your family? But that guy... He's not even human.
Funhouse : The Lord works in mysterious ways, little lady. He ain't such a bad fella. My son does get himself in all sorts of trouble, though, don't he? Anyway, blood is thicker than water. I'm sure he's gonna be a real comfort to me in my old age. Now, how many people know you're here?
Amy Harper : [lying] Lots. Our parents... they all know.
Funhouse : [scoffs] Well, no matter. We'll be pullin' outta here tomorrow mornin'. There's plenty other carnivals.
Buzz Klemmet : What'd you do with Liz? The other girl?
Funhouse : Oh, I expect by now he's just finishin' up with her. We'll just wait here till he gets back.
Amy Harper : [CUTTING-ROOM FLOOR-LINE: Amy steps forward, in tears] Listen, we're sorry we took the money. We don't care about the money; we just want to get out of here! *Please, just let us go.*
[Richie's corpse appears]
Funhouse : Oh, my, my! That IS a gruesome sight.
[Buzz attacks the Funhous Barker for his gun, which goes off and kills the Barker; then the Monster appears and attacks Buzz for the gun, which goes off again and kills Buzz]

Amy Harper : Listen, how would you like to go to the movies instead of the carnival?
Buzz Klemmet : The movies? What for?
Amy Harper : It's the same carnival that went through Fairfield County, where they had all that trouble.
Buzz Klemmet : Terrific. Maybe we'll get a little action. Come on. You're not afraid to go, are you?
Amy Harper : No, I just don't feel like it. Besides, I promised my father we were going to the movies.
Buzz Klemmet : Forget about your old man. He's trying to bum your evening.
Amy Harper : How can you say that? You don't even know my father.
Buzz Klemmet : Hey, loosen up, will ya?
