The souls you have got cast upon the screen of publicity appear like the horrid and writhing creatures enlarged from the insect world, and revealed to us by the cinematograph.

Damien Darhk: Cities are like puppies. You see them writhing in agony on the street, you put them down. You don't let them suffer.

[Inspecting Dana's refrigerator for paranormal activity]
Dr. Peter Venkman: Oh, my *God*. Look at all the junk food!
Dana Barrett: No, goddammit. Look, this wasn't...
Dr. Peter Venkman: You actually eat this stuff?
Dana Barrett: Look, this wasn't here! There was *nothing* here! There was a space and

there was a building or something with flames coming out of it, and there were creatures writhing around, and they were growling and snarling. And there were flames, and I heard a voice say "Zuul"! It was right here.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I'm sorry, I'm just not getting any readings.
Dana Barrett: Well, are you sure you're using that thing correctly?


Dr. Peter Venkman: Well, I... I think so, but I'm sure there are no animals in there.
Dana Barrett: Well that's great. Either I have a monster in my kitchen or I'm completely crazy.
Dr. Peter Venkman: [smiles] I don't think you're crazy.
Dana Barrett: [sarcastically] Oh, good, that makes me feel so much

better.

[the Werewolf arrives back at Castle Frankenstein and lands next to Dracula, growling menacingly. Dracula ignores him]
Count Vladislaus Dracula: Werewolves are such a nuisance during their first full moon, so hard to control.
[just as the Werwolf is about to lunge at him, he stops and transforms back to Velkan, writhing in pain. Dracula strides majestically past him]


Count Vladislaus Dracula: I send you on a simple errand, to find out who our new friend is, and you have to stop for a little visit with your sister.
Velkan: Leave her out of this, Count! She doesn't know your secret, and I am soon to take it to my grave.
Count Vladislaus Dracula: Don't wish for death so quickly. I intend for

you to be quite useful.
Velkan: I would rather die than help you.
Count Vladislaus Dracula: Oh, don't be boring, everybody who says that dies.

Bella Swan: Are you okay? Being here?
Jacob Black: Why? Afraid I'll trash your party?
[hears growling in the woods]
Jacob Black: You're not the only one. You think I'd be used to telling you goodbye by now. Come on, you're not supposed to be the one crying, Bella.
Bella Swan: Everyone cries at weddings.


Jacob Black: This is how I'm gonna remember you. Pink cheeks, two left feet, heartbeat.
Bella Swan: So what, soon I'm gonna be dead to you?
Jacob Black: No. I'm sorry, I'm just trying to appreciate your last night as a human.
Bella Swan: Well, it's not my last night.
Jacob Black:

I thought you?
Bella Swan: I didn't really want to spend my honeymoon writhing in pain.

Falling Down

Frank (Golfer): Hey, you there! What are you doing there?
Bill Foster: Just passing through.
Frank (Golfer): Nobody said you could play through! Get off my hole!
Jim (Golfer): Frank, Frank, he said he was passing through. Passing through.
Frank (Golfer): He's not even a member, look at

the way he's dressed, for Christ's sake! Would you get off my golf course?
Bill Foster: I am!
Frank (Golfer): Go back the way you came!
Jim (Golfer): Frank, Frank, listen, I don't like the looks of this guy. Leave him alone, will you?
Frank (Golfer): [getting worked up] Listen, what am I paying my

fucking dues for? This is my golf course! If I want to play here, I will play here, you understand? If he gets hit with my Titleist, that's his fucking problem!
Jim (Golfer): Don't yell at me, I'm just here playing with you.
Frank (Golfer): FORE!
[Foster ignores him and keeps walking]
Frank (Golfer): FORE!
[Frank

hits his ball, Foster ducks and falls to the ground to avoid getting hit by it. He pulls out a shotgun out of his bag]
Bill Foster: FINE! What the hell are you trying to do? Kill me with a golf ball? It's not enough you got all these beautiful acres fenced in for your little game, but you gotta kill me with a golf ball? You should have children playing here! You should have

families having picnics, you should have a goddamn petting zoo! Instead you've got these stupid electric carts for you old men with nothing better to do!
[he shoots their golf cart, it rolls down the hill. Frank clutches his chest and falls to the ground]
Jim (Golfer): Frank? Frank? What's wrong, Frank? Frank? Frank, are you OK?
Bill Foster:

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
Jim (Golfer): Oh my God! I gotta get some help!
[Jim runs off. Foster walks up to Frank, who is writhing on the ground, having a heart attack]
Bill Foster: What's wrong with you?
Frank (Golfer): [gasping] Heart...
Bill Foster: Your heart? Something's wrong with

your heart? Well, what can I do?
Frank (Golfer): Pills... pills...
Bill Foster: Pills? Where are your pills?
[Frank tries to say "cart" and points down the hill, Foster turns and sees the golf cart plunging into a water hazard]
Bill Foster: [smirking] Well, I guess you're out of luck, aren't you? Your little cart's

going to drown. Now aren't you sorry you didn't let me pass through your golf course?
Frank (Golfer): [wheezing, barely able to speak] My... golf... course...
Bill Foster: Yeah. And now you're going to die, wearing that stupid little hat. How does it feel?

Dr. Meinheimer: [the entire audience is asleep] Now, to elaborate on point 102...
Ed Hocken: [hands him a book called "Strokin' The Love Muffin"] Here! Read this, it's an emergency.
Dr. Meinheimer: [starts reading] "His strong manly hands probed every crevice of her silken femininity, their undulating bodies writhing in sensual

rhythm, as he thrust his purple-headed warrior into her quivering mound of love pudding."
[audience slowly wakes up]
Nordberg: All right, listen up everyone! I want you to calmly file towards the exits. That's it, that's it! Nobody runs, just walk. Single file. That's it. Now if we just stay calm, no one's gonna be harmed by the huge bomb that's gonna explode any

minute.
[audience panics and runs everywhere]
