Quotes
-
John : Because today is the day. I can feel it. Today is the day you are going to realize that I am seventeen years old and your overprotection and paranoia is inhibiting my growing process.
-
John : If you want to stay handcuffed to your dead brother, that's fine. But you're not dragging me along. Not anymore.
-
John : Mom, I am not responsible for you. That's it, I've had enough. I can't take it anymore mom. He's dead. Michael Myers is dead.
-
John : [His mother won't let him go away on an overnight school camping trip] Dad would let me go.
Laurie Strode : Well, *Dad* is an abusive, chain smoking, methadone addict.
John : Who would attract someone like that?
Laurie Strode : Ouch.
John : And to think he left you.
Laurie Strode : John! I know you get your smart mouth from my side of the family. So I'll cut you a break. But point check, you're going too far!
-
John : Make you toast?
Laurie Strode : Mmmm, no, none for me, thanks. Caffeine is not a food group.
John : We're out of Perkadyne.
John : Got mail. It's from your Dad.
John : Birthday card.
Laurie Strode : It's only 2 months late. I'm impressed.
John : Cash is good. I'm gonna need it when I go to Yosemite.
Laurie Strode : You're not going.
John : Yes, I am.
Laurie Strode : No, you're not.
John : Yes, I am and with your full blessing. You wanna know why?
Laurie Strode : *Laughs* Why?
John : Because today is the day... I can feel it. Today is the day that you are going to realize that I am 17 years old and over-protection and paranoia are inhibiting my growth process.
Laurie Strode : You wanna go camping, I'll take you camping.
John : I don't wanna go with you.
Laurie Strode : Sorry.
John : Dad would let me go.
Laurie Strode : Well, Dad is a chain-smoking Methadone addict.
John : And you would attract someone like that.
Laurie Strode : *A little pissed and sarcastically* Ouch.
John : And just think, he left you.
Laurie Strode : *A little more pissed* Look, John, I know you get your smart mouth from my side of the family, so I'll cut you a break. But, point check, you're going too far!
John : No, I'm going to Yosemite.
Laurie Strode : No, you're not!
Laurie Strode : Look, Mom, help me out here. I need a little more open air, I've earned it. Look, I know that today is the day-...
Laurie Strode : Oh, really? What day is that, John?
John : Halloween.
Laurie Strode : *Creeped out* Oh, I hadn't noticed.
John : Look, Mom, we're through will all that. We really are.

Charlie : [Comes out of a liquor store, hiding a liquor bottle inside his blazer]
John : [laughs] God, I can't believe we're doing this.
Charlie : Desperate measures.
John : It's illegal.
Charlie : It's harmless and expected. Studies have proven that all teenagers, at some point in their adolescent lives, have shoplifted.
John : What studies?
Charlie : Hey, we could have avoided all this if you had simply scored some of your Mom's booze.
John : Look, my Mom's a functioning alcoholic, she counts for every-...
Laurie Strode : John! Charlie, what are you doing here?
John : Just getting some off-campus lunch.
Laurie Strode : You're not allowed to have little off-campus lunches, John! You know that. You too, Charlie.
Laurie Strode : Come on, I'll drive you back. You know what? Charlie, here, go get in the car. I'll be right there.
Charlie : [Charlie takes the keys and walks over to the car]
Laurie Strode : WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK DO YOU ARE DOING?
John : Mom, I'm real uncomfortable with you saying that word.
Laurie Strode : Then don't put me in the position, John! Do you know what day it is? Of all the days for you to pull this shit, just what do you think you can do? Just WONDER AROUND TOWN? I don't ask you for very much, just give me ONE DAY!
John : Mom, I've given 17 years!
Laurie Strode : And I need you to be responsible! Do you know what that means?
John : Responsible?
Laurie Strode : Responsible!
John : Don't talk to me about responsibility, Mom!
Laurie Strode : I JUST NEED THIS ONE THING!
John : MOM, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU! That's it! That's enough! I can't take it anymore! He's dead! Michael Myers is dead!
Laurie Strode : What do you want me to say?
John : That it's over, that we should try to make some attempt at a happy existence, Mom, 'cause all the shit that's going on inside of your head is leaking out on me and I can't take it anymore. You told me, yourself, you watched him burn.
Laurie Strode : I didn't exactly stay to see his ashes, John.
John : Mom, 20 years. 20 years. Don't think he would've shown up by now? What's he waiting for, huh?
Laurie Strode : [Doesn't respond]
John : Mom, I can't live like this
[Starts to walk away]
Laurie Strode : What... What does that mean, John?
John : If you wanna stay handcuffed to your dead brother, that's fine, but you're not dragging me along, not anymore!
