The Voice : I hear you like horror movies, Kirby. But do you like them as much as him? Forget watching Stab, instead you get to live it.
Kirby Reed : No. No, no, no, no. He's the expert. It's not me.
The Voice : Warm up question: Jason's weapon?
Kirby Reed : Uh, it's a machete.
The Voice : There. You see? You do know the genre. Michael Myers?
Kirby Reed : Uh, butcher knife.
The Voice : Leatherface?
Kirby Reed : [crying] Chainsaw! Please!
The Voice : Just ask Sidney if you need some help. Freddy Krueger?
Kirby Reed : Razor hands.
The Voice : Name the movie that started the slasher craze: Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Last House on the Left, or Psycho?
Kirby Reed : Psycho.
The Voice : None of the above! Peeping Tom, 1960, directed by Michael Powell. First movie to ever put the audience in the killer's POV.
Kirby Reed : Wait. No, no, no. Please, just ask me one more question. Just one more.
The Voice : Alright, Kirby, then it's time for your last-chance question. Name the remake of the groundbreaking horror movie in which the vill...
Kirby Reed : Halloween, uh, Texas Chainsaw, Dawn of the Dead, The Hills Have Eyes, Amityville Horror, uh, Last House on the Left, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare On Elm Street, My Bloody Valentine, When A Stranger Calls, Prom Night, Black Christmas, House of Wax, The Fog, Piranha. It's one of those, right? Right?
[silence]
Kirby Reed : I got it right. I was fucking right.
[goes outside; unties Charlie]
Kirby Reed : Don't worry, Charlie. I fucking won. I won. He tried to beat me but I fucking won.
[holding knife]
Charlie Walker : Kirby? This is making a move!
[stabs her]
Charlie Walker : Four years of class together and you notice me now? You stupid bitch! It's too late! Shhh, I know. It doesn't happen as fast as it does in the movies, I know.
[finishes stabbing her and drops her; runs away]

Charlie Walker : Did you feel that? That charge that went between us just then?
Kirby Reed : Oh that was me. I have powers!
Charlie Walker : So sexy.
-
Robbie : You're a movie knack, Kirby, what's your favourite scary movie?
Kirby Reed : Bambi. Dork. What?
Charlie Walker : That's funny, Kirby!

Sidney Prescott : This... you film your entire high school experience and what, post it on the 'net?
Robbie : Everybody will be doing it some day.
Charlie Walker : It's kind of the one component the killer is missing.
Gale Weathers-Riley : Wait, what do you mean?
Charlie Walker : Well, if you wanna be the new, new version, the killer should be filming the murders.
Robbie : Yeah, it's like the natural next step in the psycho-slasher innovation. I mean you film them all real-time and before you get caught, you upload them into cyberspace.
Charlie Walker : Making your art as immortal as you.
Charlie Walker : [speaking same time as Robbie] Not to implicate him.
Robbie : [speaking same time as Charlie] Not to implicate me.
Sidney Prescott : So who do you think is doing the murders.
Charlie Walker : Well, it's a Stab fanatic clearly. Working on less of a Shrequel and more of a Screamake.
Robbie : Copyright terms, by the way.
Charlie Walker : Cause all there are now are remakes. Only horror studios green-light. I mean, there are still rules, but the rules have changed. The unexpected is the new cliche.
Robbie : Yeah, you gotta have an opening sequence, that blows the doors off, gallop some music video direction and the kill's gotta be way more extreme.
Charlie Walker : Modern audiences get sappy to the rules of the original. So, the reverse has become the new standard. In fact, the only sure-fire way to survive a modern horror movie, you pretty much gotta be gay.
[pause]
Gale Weathers-Riley : So, why are you so sure that the killer is working by the rules of a horror remake?
Robbie : Well, the original Stab structure is pretty apparent.
Charlie Walker : Yeah, two kids killed in a house when their parents are away?
Robbie : And, then the school's 'hot chick' savage beyond recognition.
Charlie Walker : We all know where it goes from there...?
Sidney Prescott : A party.
Charlie Walker : Exactly. A party. Guaranteed third-act-main-cast bloodbath.
Robbie : Fingers crossed on some nudity for a change.

Charlie Walker : Oh my God, let me in!
Kirby Reed : Get away from the door, Charlie.
Charlie Walker : Kirby, it's me! Please let me in!
Kirby Reed : Get away from the door, Charlie!
Charlie Walker : It's me!
Kirby Reed : I'm sorry, I can't.
