Loomis
- Loomis: I met him, 15 years ago; I was told there was nothing left; no reason, no conscience, no understanding in even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, of good or evil, right or wrong. I met this... six-year-old child with this blank, pale, emotionless face, and... the blackest eyes - the Devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up, because I realized that what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil.
- Brackett: I have a feeling that you're way off on this.
- Loomis: You have the wrong feeling.
- Brackett: You're not doing very much to prove me wrong!
- Loomis: What more do you need?
- Brackett: Well, it's going to take a lot more than fancy talk to keep me up all night crawling around these bushes.
- Loomis: I-I-I watched him for fifteen years, sitting in a room, staring at a wall; not seeing the wall, looking past the wall; looking at this night, inhumanly patient, waiting for some secret, silent alarm to trigger him off. Death has come to your little town, Sheriff. Now, you can either ignore it, or you can help me to stop it.
- Brackett: More fancy talk.
- Loomis: [after Michael escapes from the mental institution] He's gone! He's gone from here! The evil is gone!
- Loomis: [into phone] You've got to believe me, Officer, he is coming to Haddonfield... Because I know him! I'm his doctor! You must be ready for him... If you don't, it's your funeral.
- Dr. Wynn: I'm not responsible, Sam.
- Loomis: Oh, no.
- Dr. Wynn: I told them how dangerous he was.
- Loomis: You couldn't have, two roadblocks and an all points bulletin wouldn't stop a five year old.
- Dr. Wynn: Well, he's your patient, if you knew that the precautions weren't strong enough, you should have told somebody.
- Loomis: I told everybody! Nobody listened.
- Dr. Wynn: There's nothing else I can do.
- Loomis: You can get back in there and get back on that telephone and tell them exactly who walked out of here last night and tell them exactly where he's going.
- Dr. Wynn: Where he's probably going.
- Loomis: I've wasted my time.
- Dr. Wynn: Sam, Haddonfield is 150 miles away from here. For God's sake, he can't even drive a car!
- Loomis: He was doing very well last night! Maybe someone around here gave him lessons.
