- Quotes
Pete Diller: Uh, welcome to the Grind. What can I get started for you?
Chanel Oberlin: [to Ms. Bean] You don't want anything, do you?
[to Pete]
Chanel Oberlin: I'll have a Trenta, no foam, five-shot half-caf, no foam pumpkin spice latte with no foam at 210 degrees.
Pete Diller: First of all, that's really hot. That's two degrees below boiling.
Chanel Oberlin: I'm sorry, did I enter a wormhole to a universe where this coffeehouse does not possess the technology to heat my favorite autumnal tradition to 210 degrees? I like my pumpkin spice lattes extra hot, so please comply with my request.
Pete Diller: But extra hot is 170 degrees.
Chanel Oberlin: I'm sorry, does your job description entail arguing with your customers, thereby delaying the moment at which they receive the irresistible nutmeggy sweetness of the extra hot, no foam, pumpkin spice latte they've been thinking about all day? I mean, God!
Pete Diller: [to Ms. Bean] Ma'am, what would you like?
Chanel Oberlin: She doesn't want anything! She wants you to start making my extra hot, no foam, pumpkin spice latte!

However the morbid humor, the ensemble cast and the consciously hilarious cliché twists of this pilot grabbed my attention right in the start with its over-the-top storytelling. Its extravagantly juvenile character development is so well-approached in writing that it succeeds to amaze me and invest in these characters. Scream Queens seizes the formula of enjoyable, silly TV programming, moreover makes the viewer want more of it as the narrative progresses.
The pilot to Scream Queens knows what it is and remains frank to itself by exploiting its predecessors and by never wanting to be more. The show is a earthly hug for those fans of the horror genre who know exactly what to expect from a teen slasher flick.
