Dialogue

edit
Alice: What's wrong with me?
Yvonne: Nothing. You're just a little pregnant.

Greta: One of my friends died yesterday, Mother. Do you mind if I take a few hours off to remember him?
Racine Gibson: But we're having a party, dear.

Mrs. Jordan: [on the radio] I'm calling about my wayward ex-son Daniel who's been acting like an ungrateful, unmanageable dickweed ever since he was seduced by that bimbo slut whore Alice!
Dan: Mom?
Freddy: [on the radio] If I were you, lady, I'd kill the ungrateful piggy.

Amanda: Your birth was a curse on the whole of humanity.
[Freddy hisses]
Amanda: I will not allow it to happen again. You brought me back to give you life, but now I must take yours.
Freddy: We'll see, bitch. We'll just see.

Amanda: Jacob! Jacob! Alice will not triumph! Only you can help her now.
Jacob: [looking like Freddy] Hey, leave her! Let's go! I want to learn stuff from you. She's no fun anymore. Teach me? Heh.
Amanda: Now, Jacob. Unleash the power he has given you.
Jacob: [looking back at Freddy after he sees that he has fallen into Amanda's trap] School's out, Krueger.

Dan Jordan: [possessed by Freddy Krueger] Hi, Alice. Want to make babies?
