- Freddy Krueger: Hey, cop, you got pretty little girls.
- Lt. Tim Blocker: Shut up!
- Freddy Krueger: We, uh, we got interrupted before I got to know 'em. They'll like me a lot better next time.
- Lt. Tim Blocker: Next time?
- Robert Deeks: Let me kill him.
- Freddy Krueger: I... am... forever.
- [spots a gasoline can]
- Lt. Tim Blocker: The law is the law. But tonight, the law is on vacation.
- Freddy Krueger: [to Blocker, restrained in the dentist's chair] All those teeth! Mm, mm, mm, mm, no. I'm afraid they'll ALL have to go! You tell Freddy when it doesn't hurt!
- Lt. Tim Blocker: But... you're dead!
- Freddy Krueger: Big deal!
- Sarah Blocker: You didn't kill a person. You killed some... mindless, evil thing.
- Lt. Tim Blocker: The law doesn't care about the difference between the two.
- Sarah Blocker: Well, I do. We all do. Look, you're a cop. You killed Fred Krueger. You were protecting our daughters. Look, the real nightmare's over. We can handle a few bad dreams.
- Gene Stratton: Our troubles are over, Tim! They feel bad about Freddy getting off with the mistrial and all. They're gonna help us find him. It's just a matter of time now.
- Lt. Tim Blocker: They're not going to find him.
- Gene Stratton: Oh, hell, Tim, these guys are pros.
- Lt. Tim Blocker: They're not going to find him. Not alive that is.
- Gene Stratton: What are you talking about?
- Lt. Tim Blocker: A bunch of us... Deeks, the doc, some of the other parents, we tracked him back to his boiler room, cornered him, we burned him alive. I threw the match.
- Gene Stratton: Hell, Tim, no one's gonna blame you in this town.
- Lt. Tim Blocker: Maybe not. The feds won't be so forgiving. I killed a man in cold blood, Gene.
- Freddy Krueger: Sweet dreams. Who's next? You? Or maybe...
- [points]
- Freddy Krueger: ...you.
- [turns around to the screen]
- Freddy Krueger: Or how about... one of you?
- Freddy Krueger: No, no, no. Don't be afraid. This time it isn't one of your nightmares. This one... was mine.
- Robert Deeks: Those slides are the only remarks. They speak for themselves. Save for the thanks that I and this entire community have for a Lieutenant Blocker for finally apprehending this unholy aberration.
- Defense Attorney: Objection, your honor!
- Robert Deeks: Excuse me. Alleged unholy aberration. Let us not forget that had not Lieutenant Blocker move so quickly, his own children would be pictures on those slides rather than sitting with their father here today.
- Robert Deeks: Your Honor, this man cannot be allowed to walk free.
- Judge: Then he should have been read his rights at the time of his arrest. I am as sorry as you, but the law is the law. If procedure had been followed this couldn't have happened. Courts adjourned.
- Lt. Tim Blocker: Looking at those slides... brings it all back. Two years of hunting, chasing shadows... and for what? Look at them. Look at what he did to Merit. She doesn't eat, she doesn't sleep. Nothing resembling a normal life. He took it and I couldn't stop him.
- Lt. Tim Blocker: You know, I almost shot him, Sarah. So me help me when I saw him near the girls I almost pulled the trigger.
- Sarah Blocker: So what stopped you?
- Robert Deeks: We're doing what you should've done.
- Lt. Tim Blocker: No. You listen to me. I'm going to nail the slime. I'm going to do it clean and by the book.
- Robert Deeks: We're way past your book, lieutenant.
