Quotes
-
Laurie Strode : Happy Halloween, Michael.
-
Laurie Strode : He's waited for this night... he's waited for me... I've waited for him...
-
Dr. Sartain : [to Laurie] Did you know our friend Hawkins here was the first responding deputy when Michael was apprehended in the 1978? He stopped Loomis from killing Michael that night.
Laurie Strode : Do you know that I pray every night that he would escape?
Officer Hawkins : What the hell do you do that for?
Laurie Strode : So I can kill him.
Officer Hawkins : Well, that was a dumb thing to pray for.
-
Laurie Strode : I always knew he'd come back. In this town, Michael Myers is a myth. He's the Boogeyman. A ghost story to scare kids. But this Boogeyman is real. An evil like his never stops, it just grows older. Darker. More determined. Forty years ago, he came to my home to kill. He killed my friends, and now he's back to finish what he started, with me. The one person who's ready to stop him.
-
Laurie Strode : You don't believe in the Boogeyman?
Aaron Korey : I believe in Michael Myers, a deranged serial killer, but the Boogeyman? No.
Laurie Strode : Well, you should.
-
Laurie Strode : I need to protect my family. You have no security system, Karen.
Karen : Mom, you need help!
Laurie Strode : Evil is real.
-
Laurie Strode : The bus crashed.
Officer Hawkins : Michael Myers escaped.
Aaron Korey : He returned to Haddonfield. His home.
-
Laurie Strode : He is a killer. But he will be killed tonight.
-
Dana Haines : Michael Myers is a human being who killed his sister when he was six years old. Then he came after you. We just want to know why. We want a glimpse inside his mind. That's why your story's so important.
Laurie Strode : My story?
Aaron Korey : Two failed marriages. Rocky relationship with your daughter and granddaughter.
Laurie Strode : Michael Myers killed five people... and he's a human being we need to understand? I'm twice divorced... and I'm a "basket case".
Aaron Korey : They're transferring him.
Laurie Strode : Tomorrow, 7:30.
Dana Haines : He'll be locked away until the end of days.
Laurie Strode : That's the idea.
Dana Haines : Let's talk about when the state came to take away your daughter away. She was 12 years old. They said you were an unfit mother. How long until you regained custody?
Laurie Strode : [long beat] I didn't. But you already knew that.
Aaron Korey : Laurie, we saw him. We met with Michael. I showed him the mask. There was nothing. No response. Nothing. He won't talk to anyone. Never has, but... I think he might speak with you. So, why don't you sit down with him and say all the things you must be longing to say. Come with us, and let us help you free yourself. Please.
Laurie Strode : [opens the door] Time's up. I'll accept my payment. Get out.
-
Laurie Strode : Stay here. I've got to finish this.
-
Laurie Strode : Why are you all just standing here? Do something, damn it!
-
Laurie Strode : [to Dr. Sartain after finding out he is Michael's psychiatrist] Oh, you're the new Loomis.
-
Allyson : [holding an envelope of money] I can't accept this.
Laurie Strode : Use it for whatever your heart desires.
Allyson : I'll save it for college, then.
Laurie Strode : Fuck college. Go somewhere. Go to Mexico.
Allyson : Could you imagine?
Laurie Strode : Yeah, I can. Look, don't worry about your mom. She will freak. But she'll get over it.
Allyson : Why can't you? The Boogeyman? All this hiding, all this preparation, it was for nothing. It took priority over your family. It cost you your family.
Laurie Strode : The way I raised your mother means that she hates me... but that's she prepared for the horror's of this world, then I can live with that.
Allyson : Say good-bye to Michael, and get over it.
Laurie Strode : Good-bye.

Aaron Korey : [Driving in their car, recording on his tape recorder] Okay. Well. Having witnessed the animal in it's captive state and failed to provoke any sort of response, we now track down it's counterpart. Could it be that one monster has created another? And, although, iron bars and barbed wire that separate them are strong and sharp, the metaphysical lines are blurred and slight. Both exist in isolation, fettered by their own fear and hatred of one another. Could it be that the only hope of rehabilitation is through confrontation?
Dana Haines : [Reading the sign on Laurie's front gate] "Access has been denied. Private Property. No Trespassing". You might need this.
[She hands Aaron an envelope]
Aaron Korey : [Opening the envelope to find money] Dana, journalists don't pay for their interviews.
Dana Haines : [Noticing a security camera] Smile. We're on camera.
[Aaron rings the buzzer]
Laurie Strode : [Responding through the buzzer] Yes.
Aaron Korey : Yes. Um... we're looking for Laurie Strode.
[No response from Laurie]
Aaron Korey : We're, uh, um... we're... we're... making a podcast and...
Dana Haines : We're investigative journalists.
Aaron Korey : If you have a moment. We traveled a very long way.
[Still no response]
Dana Haines : How does $3000 sound?
[Laurie unlocks the gates and allows Aaron and Dana on through]
Dana Haines : [after ringing the doorbell and Laurie unlocks the front door] Hello.
Aaron Korey : May we come in and sit down and talk?
Dana Haines : [Sitting down with Laurie, turning on their tape recorder] So, Aaron and I have made several award-winning public radio exposés. Our last project shed new light on a murder case from 20 years ago. We like to re-examine incidents with an unbiased lens. I believe there's a lot to learn from the horrors you experienced.
Laurie Strode : There's nothing to learn. There are no new incites or... discoveries.
Aaron Korey : So, is he real?
Laurie Strode : Who?
Aaron Korey : The boogeyman. I read you quoted...
Laurie Strode : --You don't believe in the boogeyman?
Aaron Korey : I believe in Michael Myers, deranged serial killer. But... the boogeyman, no.
Laurie Strode : Well, you should.
Aaron Korey : Okay.
Dana Haines : Michael Myers is a human being, who killed his sister when he was 6-years-old... and he came after you. We just want to know why. We want a glimpse inside his mind. That's why your story is so important.
Laurie Strode : My story?
Aaron Korey : Two failed marriages. Rocky relationship with your daughter and... granddaughter.
Laurie Strode : Michael Myers murdered 5 people... and he's a human being we need to understand? I'm twice divorced... and I'm a basket case.
Aaron Korey : They're transferring him.
Laurie Strode : Tomorrow. Seven o'clock.
Dana Haines : You know he'll be locked away until the end of his days.
Laurie Strode : That's the idea.
Dana Haines : Let's talk about when the state came to take your daughter away. She was 12-years-old. They said you were an unfit Mother. How long until you regained custody.
Laurie Strode : I didn't. But you already knew that.
[She gets up and heads to the front door]
Aaron Korey : Laurie, we saw him. We met with Michael. I showed him the mask. It was nothing. No response, nothing. He won't talk to anyone. Never has, but I think he might speak with you.
