Dialogue

edit
Karen Barclay: Talk to me. Come on, talk! I said, "talk to me", damn it! All right! I'll make you talk! I said talk to me, damn it, or else I'm gonna throw you in the fire!
[Chucky comes alive.]
Chucky: YOU STUPID BITCH, YOU FILTHY SLUT! I'LL TEACH YOU TO FUCK WITH ME!

[Chucky goes to visit Dr. Death's place]
Chucky: Hello, John. Over here. Hi! It's me, Chucky! What d'you think? The grigri work?
[Dr. Death nods awkwardly.]
Chucky: You know, when you were telling me all that stuff about how to beat death I thought maybe you were pulling my chain. But not now, uh-uh. Only one problem.
Dr. Death: What?
Chucky: This. (Points to a wound below his shoulder) I didn't think anybody could hurt me. But last night I got shot. And you know something? It hurt. It hurt like a son of a bitch, it even bled! Now why's that, John?
Dr. Death: You're turning human.
Chucky: What?
Dr. Death: The more time you spend in that body, the more human you become.
Chucky: You mean, I have to live out the rest of my life in this body? NO FUCKIN' WAY! You got me into this, you get me out!
Dr. Death: I can't do that, Chucky.
Chucky: Why not?
Dr. Death: Because you're an abomination. AN OUTRAGE AGAINST NATURE! You've perverted everything I've taught you, and used it for evil! AND YOU HAVE TO BE STOPPED!
Chucky: You know, I thought something like this might happen. That's why I prepared for it.
Dr. Death: What are you talking about?
Chucky: Your own personal mojo doc.
Dr. Death: Give me that.
Chucky: Sure, how'd ya want it? Broken leg? Shouldn't tell your customers where you hide things like this, John. Gets you in trouble every time. Now how do I get out of this body?
Dr. Death: No. I won't tell you.
Chucky: Yeah? Tell me or die, John. Your choice.
Dr. Death: No no all right I'll tell you. You have to transfer your soul out of the doll, into the first human being you revealed your true self to.
Chucky: You mean the first person I let in on the fact that I was really alive? [Laughs] I don't believe it! I just don't believe it! The first person that I let in on the fact that I was still alive was a six-year-old kid. I'm gonna be six years old again. Well, John, it's been fun, but I gotta go. I have a date with six-year-old boy... and you have a date with death. So long John!

[Chucky is sitting in the elevator going up.]
Lucy: Look, George. Some child left their doll on the elevator.
George: Leave it alone. Let whoever is looking for it find it.
Lucy: Ugly doll.
Chucky: Fuck you.

Chucky: [About to be set on fire by Andy] Andy, no, please! We're friends 'til the end, remember?
Andy: This is the end, friend! [Drops a match, igniting Chucky.]
