Gale: [seeing the blown up ant] That is one messed up looking dog.

Ed McDonnough: You mean you busted out of jail.

Evelle: No, ma'am. We released ourselves on our own recognizance.

Gale: What Evelle here is trying to say is that we felt that the institution no longer had anything to offer us.

Gale: All right, ya hayseeds, it's a stick-up. Everybody freeze. Everybody down on the ground.

Feisty Hayseed: Well, which is it, young feller? You want I should freeze or get down on the ground? Mean to say, if'n I freeze, I can't rightly drop. And if'n I drop, I'm a-gonna be in motion. You see...

Gale: Shut up!

Feisty Hayseed: Okay then.

Gale: Everybody down on the ground!

Evelle: Y'all can just forget that part about freezin' now.

Gale: Better still to get down there.

Evelle: Yeah, y'all hear that, don't ya?

H.I.: If it's all the same to you, Honey, I think I'll skip this little get together, slip out with the boys and knock back a couple of Coca Colas.

[Ed gives him a look of disapproval]

H.I.: I guess that wouldn't be such a good idea.

Gale: So many social engagements, so little time.

Gale: You understand, H.I.? If this works out, it's just the beginning of a spree to cover the entire southwest proper. And we keep going until we can retire. Or we get caught.

Evelle: Either way, we're fixed for life.

Prison Counsellor: Most men your age Hi, are getting married and raising up a family.

Gale: What's that, pardner?

Gale: Well, H.I., looks like you've been up to the devil's business.

Gale: [Quietly, to H.I] Say, who wears the pants around here, H.I.?

Gale: Got you on an awful short leash, don't she, H.I.?

Evelle: [pauses] You mean our code names?

Gale: Jesus, the camera, hurry!

Kenny: My name isn't Jesus.

Gale: Look, Kenny, I know you're about fifty pounds overweight, but when I say hurry, please interpret that as, MOVE YOUR FAT TUB OF LARD ASS, NOW!

Gale: If I'm right about this, I could save a man's life. Do you know what that would do for my book sales?

Gale: Guess I remembered the safety that time, bastard.

[last lines]

Gale: Okay I think it's going to go something like this, just stay with me. Hi, this is Gale Weathers with an exclusive eyewitness account of this amazing breaking story. Several more local teens are dead, bringing to an end the harrowing mystery of the masked killings that has terrified this peaceful community like the plot of some scary movie. It all began with the scream of a 911, and ended in a bloodbath that has rocked the town of Woodsboro. All played out here in this peaceful farmhouse, far from the crimes and the sirens of the larger cities that its residents have fled. Okay, let's take it back to one. Come on, move it! This is my big shot. Let's go.

[Billy and Stu are looking for the gun]

Billy: Where the fuck is it?

Gale: [off camera] Right here, asshole.

Billy: I thought she was dead.

Stu: She looked dead, man. Still does.

Gale: Looks like we've got a serial killer on our hands!

Deputy Dwight "Dewey" Riley: Well, a "serial killer" is not really accurate. Gotta knock off a couple more to get that title.

Gale: Well, we can hope, can't we? I mean, we certainly don't have any leads. Have you located Sidney's father yet?

Deputy Dwight "Dewey" Riley: No, not yet.

Gale: Well, he's not a suspect, is he?

Deputy Dwight "Dewey" Riley: We haven't ruled him out as a possibility.

[He becomes aware that he is gazing too long at her eyes]

Deputy Dwight "Dewey" Riley: If you'll excuse me.

[Dewey turns away, but Gale pursues and grabs his arm]

Gale: I'm sorry, am I keeping you?

Deputy Dwight "Dewey" Riley: [Turning back to her, he removes his hat] If I may say so, Miss Weathers, you are much prettier in person.

[He gives her a flirty smile and turns away again to run up the school steps]

Gale: [delighted] So you do watch the show!

[Dewey stops and turns back]

Deputy Dwight "Dewey" Riley: I'm 25. I was 24 for a whole year.

[Gale runs across the school campus to Dewey]

Gale: Is there a problem on campus?

Deputy Dwight "Dewey" Riley: No. Everything's under control.

Gale: [seductively] Well, of course. You're here.

Deputy Dwight "Dewey" Riley: You're not supposed to be here.

Gale: I know. I should be in New York covering the Sharon Stone stalker, but who knew?

[giggles]

Gale: You look awfully young to be a police officer.

Deputy Dwight "Dewey" Riley: I'm 25 years old.

Gale: You know, in a demographic study, I proved to be most popular amongst males 11 to 24. I guess I just missed you.

[giggles flirtatiously]

Gale: Of course, you don't look a day over 12. Except in that...

[She looks him up and down, admiringly]

Gale: ... upper torso area. Does the force require you to work out?

Deputy Dwight "Dewey" Riley: [Charmed, despite his common sense:] No, ma'am. 'Cause of my boyish good looks, muscle mass has increased my acceptance as a serious police officer.

[They smile at each other]

Gale: There she is! Sidney, hi, what happened? Are you alright?

Tatum: She's not answering any questions alright. Just leave us alone.

Sidney Prescott: No, no Tatum it's OK. She's just doing her job, right Gale?

Gale: That's right.

Sidney Prescott: So how's the book?

Gale: Oh it'll be out later this year.

Sidney Prescott: Oh, I'll look for it.

Gale: I'll send you a copy.

[Sidney turns around a punches Gale in the face]

Gale: People treat me like I'm the anti-Christ of television journalism.

Gale: Can you tell me anything?

Tatum: Yeah, you're a real pain in the ass!

Gale: Hey, you'd better check your conscience at the door sweetie. I'm not here to be loved.

Dewey: When did she start smoking?

Randy: Ever since those nude pictures on the internet.

Gale: It was just my head, it was Jennifer Aniston's body!

Gale: I feel bad Dewey, I feel really bad! I never say that cause I never feel bad about anything, but I feel bad now.

Dewey: Is this just another brilliant Gale Weathers performance?

Gale: There are no cameras here. I just wanna find this fucker! I really do.

Debbie: Please Miss Weathers, it would just be such an honor if I could get a quote from you for my story.

Gale: All right. Begin quote.

Debbie: Great.

Gale: Your flattering remarks are both desperate and obvious. End quote!

Joel: Look, granted, I should've read your book before I took this job, but I'm reading it now and, whoa! I just read what happened to your last camera man. The guy got gutted. Now I'm gonna do what any rational human being would do and that is to get the fuck outta here.

Gale: First of all, he wasn't gutted; I made that part up... his throat was slashed.

Joel: Gale, gutted, slashed, the guy ain't in the union no more.

[Sidney, Gale and Cotton look at the body of Mrs. Loomis, after being shot down by Cotton]

Gale: Is she dead?

Sydney: I don't know. They always come back.

[as if to confirm what Sidney just said, Mickey leaps to his feet screaming, despite his injuries. Gale and Sidney turn to him and spray him with bullets. Mickey is knocked backwards and collapses, dead]

Cotton: Woah!

[Sidney approaches the body of Mrs. Loomis and shoots at her forehead. The body twitches a bit, then is still again. Gale and Cotton stare at Sidney, shocked]

Sydney: [shrugs] Just in case.

[Sidney drop the gun and walks away]

Gale: It's happening again, isn't it?

Dewey: You'd love that, wouldn't you? Better hurry Gale, might get scooped.

Gale: Look, local woman! I know you hold me up as your career template and that it gives you some sort of charge to challenge me, but give it a rest.

Gale: So what do you want to do, bonehead? Just sit around and wait to see who drops next?

Dewey: I don't know.

[Gale's phone rings]

Dewey: Phonehead!

Gale: So I am heading down to Admissions to do some legwork, you game?

Dewey: I'm not here to write a book Miss Weathers, I'm here to help Syd.

Gale: I wanna help her too, and help myself, of course. Come on Dewey, smile for me once, please!

Dewey: I'll smile when I catch the killer.

Sydney: [referring to who the killer is] Mrs. Loomis?

Gale: [shocked] What?

Mickey: BILLY'S MOTHER!

[Gale turns around and sees Mickey]

Mickey: Nice twist huh? Didn't see it coming, did you?

[laughs]

Gale: [still shocked] Jesus. It can't be, I've seen pictures of you.

Sydney: Yeah this is 60 pounds and a lot of work later.

Debbie: [takes off her trench coat] It's called a makeover. You should try it. Look a little tired yourself there, Gale!

Dewey: The killer called her.

Mark: When?

Gale: What'd he say?

Sidney: Oh you know the usual small talk. "What's new?" "How you been?" "How do you wanna die?"

Gale: Deja voodoo.

Jennifer: [to John] Come on. You have made millions off the story of her murder. You're obsessed with her and you're obsessed with her daughter!

Gale: Alright, easy Geraldo.

Jennifer: Gale Weathers!

Gale: [says quietly] Shit.

Jennifer: I know we've never met... and I know you never returned my phone call, but after getting into this project, I feel like I'm in your mind.

Gale: Hmm, that would explain my constant headaches.

Jennifer: You know, I'm sorry things didn't work for 60 minutes II, but Total Entertainment, that's a pretty good fallback.

Gale: Thank you. I'm sorry things didn't work out with Brad Pitt, but being single, that's a good fallback.

Jennifer: Gives me more time for my work. After all, Gale Weathers, you're such a complex character.

Gale: And to be played by an actress with such depth and range...

Jennifer: Jeez!

Gale: What the hell are you doing?

Jennifer: Being Gale Weathers! What are you doing?

Gale: I *am* Gale Weathers!

Jennifer: Here's how I see it. I've got no house, no bodyguard, no movie and I'm being stalked. Because someone wants to kill me? No, because someone wants to kill you. So, now, starting now, I go where you go. So that if someone wants to kill me, I'll be with you and since they really wanna kill you, they won't kill me, they'll kill you, make sense?

Gale: [shouts] None!

Jennifer: You know in the movies, I play you as being much smarter!

Gale: And as a sane person, for you that must be quite a stretch!

Jennifer: That's funny.

Gale: Ha!

Jennifer: Need to get in that building?

Gale: Yeah!

Jennifer: Is there a story in that building?

Gale: I did write the definitive book on the Woodsboro Murders.

Dewey: And I'm sure you just can't wait to write another one.

[Jennifer is studying Gale in order to play her character]

Jennifer: The ruthless ambition, your private self-loathing, and that lost and lonely little girl inside.

Gale: Lost and lonely what?

Jennifer: You heard me.

Gale: Lost and lonely what?

Tom: Hey. It's the real Gale Weathers.

Gale: Real from top to bottom.

Jennifer: Is he dead?

[as Gale looks at Roman's bloody body]

Gale: Really!
