[Charley finds Evil Ed who's pretending to be bitten]
Charley Brewster : Jesus, I warned him!
Evil Ed : He got me, Charley! He bit me! You know what you're gonna have to do now, don't you? Kill me. Kill me, Charley... before I turn into a vampire, and... GIVE YOU A HICKEY!
-
[Detective Lennox tells Charley he better never catch his butt again]
Charley Brewster : Look, I'm telling you, Jerry Dandridge is a vampire!
Detective Lennox : Sure, and I'm Dirty Harry. Now let me tell you something, kid. If I ever catch your ass down at the station house again, I'm throwing it in jail FOREVER!

Billy Cole : Well, what do we have here? Vampire-killers?
[Billy begins to ascend up the stairs, and Peter draws his gun]
Peter Vincent : Stop... Stop, or I'll shoot.
[Billy ignores him and continues to walk up the stairs]
Peter Vincent : I'm warning you. Don't force me to shoot!
[Billy still ignores him, and Peter shoots him point blank in the head. His body slides down the stairs as Jerry sneaks up behind Charley and Peter. Charley turns around and draws out his cross]
Charley Brewster : STOP!
[Jerry covers his eyes, whimpering]
Charley Brewster : We have him.
[Jerry removes his arm from his eyes and looks down at Billy's body at the bottom of the steps]
Jerry Dandrige : Do you?
[Jerry smiles and retreats; Charley and Peter are confused]
Charley Brewster : What did he mean by that?
Peter Vincent : Nothing! He was just bluffing.
[Behind them, Billy rises... from the dead!]
-
Charley Brewster : You can't kill me here.
Jerry Dandrige : I don't want to kill you, Charley. I want you to bring Peter Vincent to my house. Just the two of you. That is, if you ever want to see Amy... again
-
Charley Brewster : [sees Evil walking away] Hey, where are you going, pencil dick?
Evil Ed : Home.
Charley Brewster : No way. We walk Amy home first.
-
[Billy surprises Charley who's snooping around Dandrige's basement door]
Billy Cole : Hey, Kid! What are you doing?
Charley Brewster : [the nervous Charley] Nothin'...
Billy Cole : Oh, yeah? Well, just see that it stays that way... Kid.
-
[Evil Ed asks Charley if Amy found out what he's really like]
Evil Ed : So, did she find out what you're really like?
Charley Brewster : Get lost, EVIL!
Evil Ed : Oh, call me anything you want. Only you're the one failing trig, not me.
-
[Charley and Evil Ed walk out of class together]
Charley Brewster : That bastard! Why didn't he tell us there was going to be a pop quiz?
Evil Ed Thompson : That's the point of a pop quiz, Brewster... to surprise you.
-
[Charley and Amy hear Evil Ed scream from a distance]
Amy : It was just Evil messin' around again.
Amy : [Amy yells back] Cut it out Evil, it's not funny!
Charley Brewster : What if he was really in trouble?
Amy : Charley, you're not gonna let him sucker you in again are you?
-
[Charley warns Evil against joking around]
Charley Brewster : You're gonna get yours someday.
Evil Ed : Oh, yeah. When? When I'm bit by a vampire? There are no such things as vampires, fruitcake!
-
Evil Ed : [finds Charley's room full of lit candles, garlic, and crosses] Wow... what's all this for?
Charley Brewster : [sharpening a stake] Self-defense, not that I think I'll need it. He'll be dead before nightfall.
Amy : Who will be?
Charley Brewster : Dandridge. I'm waiting for the guy he lives with to leave, then I'll go next door, find his coffin and pound this through his heart.
Amy : That's murder, Charley!
Charley Brewster : You can't murder a vampire, Amy, he's already dead, remember? Listen, I just taped this.
Evil Ed : [teasingly] Amy, what're we gonna do? This is just like Fright Night!
Newscaster : [playback on tape] Now for the 2:00 news. Another body of a young woman was discovered early this morning in back of the Sheridan mall.
Charley Brewster : [shuts off tape] You see that? I don't have any choice. Somebody has to stop him.
Amy : Charley, it's... it's gonna be dangerous going in that house all alone, isn't it? I mean you're gonna need all the help you can get, right? Somebody like Peter Vincent for instance?
Evil Ed : Yeah!
Charley Brewster : I tried him already.
Amy : Well, why don't you let us try him again before you do anything?
Charley Brewster : There's NOT enough time, Amy!
Amy : Well what happens if you go into that house alone, and he gets *you*? Who's gonna stop him then?
Evil Ed : Yeah, then he'll be able to suck his way through the entire town... but it wouldn't be much of a loss.
Amy : Charley, it's gonna be dark soon, and you don't want to go into that house then, do you?
Charley Brewster : No, no, you're right there. All right, try him again.
Amy : All right, now you promise you're not gonna do anything until you hear from us, OK?
[Charley nods glumly]
Amy : OK, come on!
Charley Brewster : Amy, you don't believe me, do you?
Amy : Charley, I love you.
-
Amy Peterson : Charley? Is something wrong?
Charley Brewster : No.
Evil Ed : [ED LAUGHING] Oh, you're so cool, Brewster.

[Evil describes the two latest murders to Charley]
Evil Ed : Charley. You know what I heard on the police band last night?
Charley Brewster : What?
Evil Ed : That wasn't the only murder. The second in two days. And get this...
Evil Ed : [Evil smirking] Both of them had their heads chopped off.
Evil Ed : [Evil chuckling] Can you believe it?
Charley Brewster : You're sick.
[as Evil continues laughing]
-
Evil Ed : [sees an alley] Hey, let's cut through.
Charley Brewster : Hey! No way! Come on, we want people and lights. The more, the better.
Evil Ed : Ah, listen, Brewster, vampires don't exist. Haven't you gotten that through your thick head yet?
Charley Brewster : What if you're wrong, Evil? What if Dandrige is a vampire and he thinks you know it? Would you walk down that alley then?
Evil Ed : Oh, fuck you, Brewster.
Charley Brewster : All right. Look. Come on, please just stick with us, all right?
Evil Ed : Forget it. You may be chickenshit but I'm not.
[starts walking into the alley]
Amy : What do we do?
Charley Brewster : Let him go. No vampire's gonna want him anyway. Probably give him blood poisoning.
-
Charley Brewster : We can't leave like this!
Detective Lennox : I've got a coffin for you.
Charley Brewster : Lieutenant, please, please listen to me. Jerry Dandrige is a vampire.
