Sheriff Ben Meeker
- Dr. Loomis: Ten years ago, he tried to kill Laurie Strode. Now he wants her daughter.
- Sheriff Meeker: Are you talkin' about Jamie Lloyd?
- Dr. Loomis: Wherever she is, that little child is in mortal danger.
- Sheriff Meeker: Myers has been locked up since before she was born. He's never laid eyes on her!
- Dr. Loomis: Six bodies, Sheriff! That's what I've seen between here and Ridgemont! A filling station in flames! I'm telling you Michael Myers is here, in this town! He's here to kill that little girl and anybody who gets in his way!
- Deputy Logan: What are we doin'?
- Sheriff Meeker: Making sure no one can get in here.
- Deputy Logan: Isn't all this a little paranoid?
- Sheriff Meeker: If you'd seen that police station, you wouldn't even ask.
- Sheriff Meeker: Oh, yeah... I catch you gropin' my daughter, I'll use that shotgun on you. You understand?
- [Brady nods]
- [after all the cops at the station are slaughtered]
- Sheriff Meeker: How could a man do this, Loomis? Tell me.
- Dr. Loomis: This isn't a man.
- Sheriff Meeker: What is he? Tell me! What the hell are we dealing with?
- Dr. Loomis: Evil.
- Sheriff Meeker: Hey, I got a town full of beer bellies running around in the dark with shotguns! Who's gonna be next? Somebody's wife? Somebody's kid? I can't stand by for that.
- Sheriff Meeker: Let it be, Earl. Let the police handle it.
- Earl: Like the last time? How many people killed back then? How many kids?
- Sheriff Meeker: [Loomis sees Michael standing near a house] Is that him? Is that him.
- Dr. Loomis: Yes.
- [Now a second Michael appears to Loomis' right]
- Sheriff Meeker: Loomis.
- [points, just as a third Michael appears]
- Sheriff Meeker: Oh Christ, Doc.
- Dr. Loomis: Dear God.
- [Loomis and Meeker see that they are surrounded. Loomis aims his gun at the first Michael, who takes off his mask to reveal a teenage hooligan]
- Kid in Michael Myers Mask: Hey, don't shoot!
- [the other Michaels remove their masks to show it was all a prank. They run away laughing]
- Kid in Michael Myers Mask: Oh, that was great. Thought it was me, didn't you, Sheriff?
- Sheriff Meeker: Get home, dammit. There's a curfew. I catch your ass, it'll be a weekend in jail! You alright, Doc? Come on, we'll get to the station, we'll get these kids safe.
- Rachel Carruthers: [Jamie is shaken by what she had seen; Rachel comforts her] It's okay, it's okay.
- Earl: Ben, what the Sam Hell is going on?
- Sheriff Meeker: Go on home, Earl. This is police business.
- Earl: Looks like to me you're out of business. Now I want some answers.
- Sheriff Meeker: I haven't got the time or patience to argue with you. Now go home to your families where you belong.
- Dr. Loomis: It was Michael Myers. He's come home to kill.
- Sheriff Meeker: Let it be, Earl. Let the police handle it
- Earl: Like the last time? How many people killed back then? How many kids? Al here, lost his boy 10 years back. Well, not this time, Ben. I'll handle this my own way. We're gonna fry his ass
- [pumps shotgun and drives off with the other rednecks]
- Sheriff Meeker: Son of a bitch, you just created a lynch mob!
- Dr. Loomis: You haven't got a police force! These men may be the only defense you've got.
- Sheriff Meeker: God help us.
- Sheriff Meeker: Oh, Christ. He wouldn't have given up without a fight.
- Dr. Loomis: They didn't know what they were fighting.
- Sheriff Meeker: How could a man do this, Loomis? Tell me.
- Dr. Loomis: It isn't a man.
- Sheriff Meeker: Then what is he? Tell me! What the hell are we dealing with?
- Dr. Loomis: Evil.
- Dr. Loomis: I need to speak to Sheriff Brackett.
- Deputy Pierce: Well then you'll have to travel, about 3,000 miles south of here.
- Dr. Loomis: What?
- Deputy Pierce: Brackett retired in '81. He moved to St. Petersburg.
- Dr. Loomis: Oh, well, who's the new sheriff?
- Sheriff Meeker: I am. Ben Meeker.
- Dr. Loomis: Oh, Sheriff Meeker, my name is Doctor...
- Sheriff Meeker: Loomis. Folks around here aren't likely to forget your face. At least not cops. So, what brings you back here after 10 years?
- Dr. Loomis: Michael Myers has escaped from Ridgemont. He's here in Haddonfield.
- Sheriff Meeker: That's impossible. Michael Myers is an invalid.
- Dr. Loomis: He's here, Sheriff.
- Sheriff Meeker: Why?
- Dr. Loomis: Ten years ago, he tried to kill Laurie Strode. Now he wants her daughter.
- Sheriff Meeker: Are you talking about Jamie Lloyd?
- Dr. Loomis: Wherever she is, that little child is mortal danger.
- Sheriff Meeker: Myers's been locked up since before she was born. He's never laid eyes on her.
- Dr. Loomis: Six bodies, Sheriff, that's what I've seen. Between here and Ridgemont, a filling station in flames! I'm telling you Michael Myers is here, in this town! He's here to kill that little girl and anybody who gets in his way!
- Sheriff Meeker: All right, Pierce, call the troopers and check his story out. And assuming what you say is true.
- Dr. Loomis: It's true, Sheriff.
- Sheriff Meeker: All right, all right, it's true. Now what the hell can we do to avoid a repeat of ten years ago?
- Dr. Loomis: Find this little girl, and get her someplace safe. Call the local TV station, tell them to get people off the streets and behind locked doors.
- Deputy Pierce: Can't get long distance, Sheriff. Operator says the lines are down.
- Sheriff Meeker: All right, let's go.
- Dr. Loomis: When he makes that call...
- Sheriff Meeker: All right, Pierce, do it. Let's check on this little girl.
