  Hannah : So you're the new neighbor?

  Zach Cooper : Yeah. I'm Zach, by the way.

• R.L. Stine : What are you doing here? Go home!

  Zach Cooper : No! No, no. Not until you explain what's going on.

  R.L. Stine : No, no, no. I can't explain it!

  Zach Cooper : We were almost eaten by Frosty the Snowman, which should be impossible, by the way. So try.

  R.L. Stine : Okay, look! Where do I begin? When I was younger, I suffered from terrible allergies that kept me indoors. And all the kids threw rocks at my window and called me names. So I created my own friends. Monsters, demons, ghouls to terrorize my neighbourhood and all the kids that made fun of me. And they became real to me. And then one day... they actually... became... real. My monsters literally leapt off the page. As long as the books remain locked, we're safe, but when they open, well, you've just seen what happens.

  R.L. Stine : What's your point?

  Champ : I'm just saying, I have allergies too, so I understand.

  Hannah : [laughs]  Are you always this sarcastic?

  Zach Cooper : Always. That's a strong word. Not always. Usually.

• Hannah : Come on, open the book.

  Zach Cooper : Hannah, there's something that you need to know and you're not gonna...

  Hannah : Open the book, Zach.

  Zach Cooper : No, no. You don't understand. If we open the book, that means...

  Hannah : It means I'll be stuck on a shelf someplace forever.

  Zach Cooper : You knew?

  Hannah : How many sweet sixteens can one girl have? Zach, it's time to move on. Now open the book, scaredy-cat.

  Zach Cooper : Oh, no. This... no.

  [takes hat off] 

  Zach Cooper : This is... this is actually a gift from my aunt.

• Zach Cooper : How far are we from the high school?

  Hannah : Not too far. We can cut through the cemetery.

  Zach Cooper : I'm sorry, a cemetery?

  Hannah : God, relax. The high school's just past the woods on the other side.

  R.L. Stine : Wait, how do you know that?

  Hannah : Uh, sometimes I get a little stir-crazy and go exploring.

  R.L. Stine : When?

  Hannah : At night after you go to bed.

  R.L. Stine : You're grounded.
