You Scream. You dietaglines

Jamie Ashen

edit
  • Remember, whatever happens, don't scream!
  • What do you want me to tell you?
  • Who would've dug up a dummy and sent it to me?

Lisa Ashen

edit
  • Surrender. Hmm. To the wonders of takeout.
  • (to Billy)If you scare Jamie I'll give you seven minutes in Heaven, with my barbie!
  • Beware the stare of Mary Shaw. She had no children, only dolls. And if you see her in your dreams, be sure to never, ever scream.

Mary Shaw

edit
  • Silence those who silenced me!
  • ...She was pregnant.
  • Now, who's the dummy!?!
  • Who said that? (regarding Michael Ashen saying her lips moved)

Detective Lipton

edit
  • Can you help me with a missing persons case? (points at Jamie) I'm looking for a male, about this tall, sometimes seen with his hand up his ass.
  • I haven't even got a full tank of gas!
  • Something less perplexing than a ghost story!
  • You know, Jamie, you really are forgetting to use the word "perplexed" a lot, aren't you?

Other

edit
  • MC: Prepare to be astounded, prepare to be amazed, as Mary Shaw brings life into this wooden boy!

Dialogue

edit
Henry: No-one in this town will even speak her name, nor go near her grave. They know she won't stop killing... until the screaming does.
Lisa: Beware the stare of Mary Shaw. She had no children, only dolls. And if you see her in your dreams: be sure to never, ever scream.
Det. Lipton: [to Jamie, after Jamie pushes him down] Jaime! You don't want to make me chase you!
Det. Lipton: [after Jamie drives away, heads to his car] I don't even have a full tank of gas!
Det. Lipton: [walks up to Jamie] Can you help me with a missing persons case? I’m looking for a male.
[points to Jamie]
Det. Lipton: 'Bout this tall. Sometimes seen with a hand up his ass.

Det. Lipton: I've been asking around. Nobody here has even heard of Mary Shaw!
Jamie: That's because they're too afraid to talk about her!

Jamie: I promised to make you dinner right?
Lisa: Yeah.
Jamie: Well, I'm making you a gourmet dinner.
Jamie: Trust me. It'll be worth the wait.
Lisa: Surrender. Hmm. Surrender to the wonders of take-out.
Jamie: Oh. I knew this was coming.
