Quotes22

  • Laurie: It was the Boogeyman.
  • Loomis: As a matter of fact it was.
  • Lindsey: I'm scared!
  • Laurie: There's nothing to be scared of.
  • Tommy: Are you sure?
  • [Laurie nods]
  • Tommy: How?
  • Laurie: I killed him...
  • Tommy: But you can't kill the boogeyman!
  • Annie: Still spooked?
  • Laurie: I wasn't spooked.
  • Annie: Lies!
  • Laurie: I wasn't! I saw someone standing in Mr. Riddle's back yard.
  • Annie: Probably Mr. Riddle!
  • Laurie: He was watching me.
  • Annie: Mr. Riddle was watching you? Laurie, Mr. Riddle is eighty-seven!
  • Laurie: He can still watch.
  • Annie: That's probably all he can do!
  • Annie: [Michael Myers' car cruises by the girls walking home from school] Hey, jerk! Speed kills!
  • [the car screeches to a halt]
  • Annie: God, can't he take a joke?
  • Laurie: You know, Annie, some day you're going to get us all in deep trouble.
  • Lynda: Totally.
  • Annie: I *hate* a guy with a car and no sense of humor.
  • Lynda: [concerning Annie] The only reason she babysits is to have a place for...
  • Laurie: [realizing she had forgot something] Shit.
  • Annie: I have a place for *that*!
  • Laurie: I forgot my chemistry book.
  • Lynda: So, who cares? I always forget my chemistry book and my math book, and my English book, and my, let's see, my French book, and... well, who needs books anyway? I don't need books. I always forget all my books. I mean, it doesn't really matter if you have your books or not... Hey, isn't that Devon Graham?
  • [the Shape is lurking by a bush on the sidewalk]
  • Laurie: Annie, look!
  • Annie: Look where? I don't see anything.
  • Laurie: That guy who passed us in the car before, the one you yelled at!
  • Annie: Subtle, isn't he?
  • [marches over to the bush]
  • Annie: Hey, creep!
  • [pauses]
  • Annie: Laurie, dear. He wants to talk to you. He wants to take you out tonight.
  • Laurie: [seeing there's nobody there] He was standing right there.
  • Annie: Poor Laurie! Scared another one away. It's tragic, you *never* go out. You must have a small fortune stashed away from babysitting so much.
  • Laurie: Guys think I'm too smart.
  • Annie: I don't. I think you're wacko. Now you're seeing men behind bushes!
  • Tommy: It's the boogeyman! The boogeyman's outside!
  • Laurie: Oh, Tommy, stop it! You're scaring Lindsey. There's nobody out there. Now, if you don't stop this I'm going to have to turn the TV off and send you to bed.
  • Tommy: Nobody believes me!
  • Lindsey: I believe you, Tommy.
  • Laurie: Sleep tight, kids.
  • Lynda: So Annie, are we still on for tonight?
  • Annie: I wouldn't want to get you in deep trouble, Lynda!
  • Lynda: Oh, come on, Annie! Bob and I have been planning it for weeks.
  • Annie: All right, the Wallaces leave at seven.
  • Laurie: I'm babysitting the Doyles, it's two houses down. We can keep each other company!
  • Annie: Oh, terrific. I've got three choices: watch the kid sleep, listen to Lynda screw around, or talk to you!
  • Laurie: [sees Annie wearing a shirt because her clothes are in the laundry] Oh, fancy!
  • Annie: This has not been my night. I spilled butter all over my clothes, they're in the wash. I got stuck in the laundry room...
  • Laurie: Listen, I want you to call Ben Tramer and tell him you were just fooling around.
  • Annie: I can't.
  • Laurie: Yes, you can.
  • Annie: No, I can't. He went drinking with Mike Godfrey and won't be home until late. You'll have to call him tomorrow. Besides, I'm on my way to pick up Paul.
  • Laurie: Wait a minute...
  • Annie: If you watch her, I'll consider talking to Ben Tramer in the morning. Deal?
  • Laurie: Deal.
  • [to herself after Annie leaves]
  • Laurie: The old Girl Scout comes through again.
  • Laurie: Lynda, if this is a joke, I'll kill you!
  • Tommy: I don't like that story anymore.
  • Laurie: I thought King Arthur was your favorite.
  • Tommy: Not anymore.
  • [takes a stack of comics from under the couch]
  • Laurie: Why do you keep them under there?
  • Tommy: Mom doesn't like me having them.
  • Laurie: Laser Man, Neutron Man. I can understand why. Tarantula Man...
  • Tommy: Laurie, what's the Boogeyman?
  • Tommy: What about the jack-o-lantern?
  • Laurie: After the movie.
  • Tommy: What about my comics?
  • Laurie: After the jack-o-lantern.
  • Tommy: What about the boogeyman?
  • Laurie: There's no such thing.
  • Laurie: [Tommy's scared of the boogeyman] We're getting nowhere. Look, the boogeyman can only come out on Halloween, right? Well, I'm here; I'm not about to let anything happen to you.
  • Tommy: Promise?
  • Laurie: Promise.
  • Lynda: It's totally insane. We have three new cheers to learn in the morning, the game is in the afternoon, I have to get my hair done at five, and the dance is at eight! I'll be totally wiped out!
  • Laurie: [sarcastically] I don't think you have enough to do tomorrow.
  • Lynda: Totally!
  • Tommy: Laurie, what's the boogeyman?
  • Laurie: There's no such thing.
  • Laurie: [to herself, watching kids trick-or-treating] Well, kiddo, I thought you outgrew superstition.
  • Tommy: But I saw the boogeyman! I saw him!
  • Laurie: Okay, what did he look like?
  • Tommy: Umm... the boogeyman!
  • Laurie: [in the Wallace house, and noises are coming from upstairs] All right you meatheads, joke's over.
  • [silence]
  • Laurie: Come on, Annie. That's enough.
  • [more silence]
  • Laurie: It's most definitely stopped being funny, now cut it out! You'll be sorry.
  • Laurie: Tommy, unlock the door! Come here, now you listen to me. I want you to go down the stairs, and out the front door. I want you to go down the street to the Mackenzie's house. I want you to tell them to call the police and tell them to send them over here. Now, do you understand me? Go do as I say!
