Quotes 

  • Burt Wilson : I thought you said if we destroyed the brain, it'd die!

    Frank : It worked in the movie!

    Burt Wilson : Well, it ain't working now, Frank!

    Freddy : You mean the movie lied?

  • Frank : Watch your tongue, boy, if you like this job!

    Freddy : Like this job?

  • Freddy : [to Tina]  Gee... And now you made me hurt myself again! You made me break my hand completely off this time Tina! But I don't care Darlin', because I love you, and you've got to let me EAT YOUR BRAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIINS! WHERE ARE YOU!

  • Frank : International treaty, all skeletons come from India.

    Freddy : No kidding, how come?

    Frank : How the hell do I know how come? The important question is, where do they get all the skeletons with perfect teeth?

  • [Frank shows Freddy a military drum with a dead zombie inside] 

    Freddy : Oh shit, look at that! You say that thing was alive?

    Frank : So they say.

    Freddy : Oh god. Hey, these things don't leak, do they?

    Frank : Leak? Hell no. These things were made by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

    [Frank slaps the drum and gas starts leaking] 

    Frank : Oh fuck!

  • Paramedic #1 : You have no pulse, your blood pressure's zero-over-zero, you have no pupillary response, no reflexes and your temperature is 70 degrees.

    Freddy : Well, what does that mean?

    Paramedic #1 : Well, it's a puzzle because, technically, you're not alive. Except you're conscious, so we don't know what it means.

    Freddy : Are you saying we're dead?

    Paramedic #2 : Well, let's not jump to conclusions.

    Freddy : Are you saying we're dead?

    Paramedic #2 : No conclusions.

    Paramedic #1 : Obviously I didn't mean you were really dead. Dead people don't move around and talk.

  • Burt Wilson : If that is a re-animated body, we're gonna have to kill it.

    Freddy : How do you kill something that's already dead?

    Burt Wilson : How do I know, Fred? Let me think!

    Frank : It's not a bad question, Burt.

  • Freddy : Frank?

    Frank : Yeah, kid?

    Freddy : What's the weirdest thing you ever saw in here?

    Frank : Oh, kid, I have seen weird things come and I have seen weird things go. But the weirdest thing I ever saw just had to cap it all.

    Freddy : Oh, yeah? What's that?

    Frank : Let me ask you a question, kid. Did you see that movie, "Night of the Living Dead"?

    Freddy : Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the one where the corpses start eating the people, right? Sure. Wh-what about it?

    Frank : Did you know that movie was based on a true case?

    Freddy : Come on, you're shitting me, right?

    Frank : [raises right hand]  I've never been more serious in my life.

    Freddy : That's not possible. I mean, they showed zombies taking over the world.

    Frank : They changed it all around. What really happened was back in 1969, in Pittsburgh, at the V.A. hospital, there was a chemical spill and all that stuff kinda leaked down into the morgue and it made all the dead bodies kinda jump around as though it was alive.

    Freddy : What chemical?

    Frank : 2-4-5 Trioxin, it's called. It was to kinda spray on marijuana or something. And the Darrow Chemical Company was trying to develop it for the Army. And they told the guy who made the movie that if he told the true story, they'd just sue his ass off. So he changed all the facts around.

    Freddy : So what really happened?

    Frank : Well, they closed it all down, see, and the Army shipped all that contaminated dirt and all those dead bodies out. And they kept it a secret.

    Freddy : So how come you know about it?

    Frank : A typical Army fuck up. The Transportation Department got the orders crossed, and they shipped those bodies here instead of to the Darrow Chemical Company.

  • Burt Wilson : [as a missile heads towards Louisville]  Hey, listen! You hear something?

    Freddy : [cuts to Freddy breaking through the hatch to Tina and Ernie]  Tinaaaaaaaaa!

  • Frank : The army came in and closed it all off.

    Freddy : So how come you know about it?

    Frank : A typical army fuck up, the transportation department got the orders crossed. They sent those bodies here!

  • Freddy : I can finally see, the one thing... the one thing that will relieve this horrible suffering.

    Tina : What, Freddy?

    Freddy : A live... BRAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIN!

  • Frank : Let me ask you a question, kid: did you ever see that movie, "Night of the Living Dead"?

    Freddy : Yeah, yeah, yeah - that's the one where the corpses start eating the people, right? What about it?

    Frank : Did you know that story was based on a true case?

    Freddy : [chuckles]  Aw, c'mon, you're shitting me, right?

    Frank : I ain't never been more serious in my life.

  • Freddy : [to Tina]  Tina, it was wrong of you to lock me up. I had to hurt myself to get out. But I forgive you darlin' and I know you're here, because I can smell your brains.

    Freddy : [Tina is crying and screaming]  Go away!

    Freddy : I'm coming up, Tina!

  • Freddy : What do doctors use to crack skulls with?

    Frank : [miming a screwing motion]  Surgical drills!

  • Freddy : Stupid asshole!
