[after Michael disappears] Man in pajamas: What's going on out here? Sam Loomis: Call the police! Tell the sheriff I shot him! Man in pajamas: Who? Sam Loomis: Tell him, he's still on the loose! Man in pajamas: Is this some kind of joke? I've been trick-or-treated to death tonight. Sam Loomis: [looks at the blood on his hand] You don't know what DEATH is! Janet: Julie saw him, you know. Bud: Who? Janet: Michael Myers. Bud: Come on...! Janet: I swear, yesterday when she was coming to work. Bud: Where'd she see him? Janet: You know the Shop And Bag out by the mall? She stopped at the light and saw him walking in that field behind the Lost River Drive In. Julie said he was so creepy. Bud: Julie's full of shit. He didn't escape until last night. Janet: You don't have to swear about it. Bud: She's a goddamn moron anyway. Janet: Every other word you say is either hell or shit or damn. Bud: Sorry. I guess I just fuck up all the time.
[after discovering Laurie is Michael's sister] Sam Loomis: [to the Marshall] Turn this car around, now! Marshal: I can't do that. I have orders.
[draws gun and points it at him] Sam Loomis: Well those orders have changed! Marshal: Doctor, you're getting yourself into a lot of trouble. Sam Loomis: What is it you guys usually do? Fire a warning shot, right?
[Loomis shoots out the window, and the car screeches and turns about] Bud: Rule number 1, never get involved with a patient. Nurses, that's a different story, but not patients, it never works out. Sam Loomis: I shot him 6 times! I shot him in the heart-but... HE'S NOT HUMAN! Dr. Sam Loomis: If that wasn't Michael Myers burning up in that car, a lot more people are going to be slaughtered tonight. Deputy Gary Hunt: He's dead. You saw it. Dr. Sam Loomis: I saw a man in a mask. I have to be sure. Deputy Gary Hunt: You talk about him as if he's some kind of animal. Dr. Sam Loomis: He was my patient for fifteen years. He became an obsession with me until I realized there neither reason nor understanding or anything about him that was... even remotely human. An hour ago I stood up and fired six shots into him and he just got up and walked away. I am talking about the real possibility that he is STILL OUT THERE! Jimmy: Jill, where's Dr. Mixter? Jill: Ah, he's been at the country club. I think he's drunk. Budd: Oh, great! Dr. Mixter: Janet, get me some more coffee! Budd: Happy Halloween. Karen: Budd, you are the biggest jerk I have ever met. Budd: But you love me... Karen: Yeah, and I'm an idiot.
[Dr. Loomis orders the Marshal around at gun-point] Dr. Sam Loomis: Go and check all the rooms down there! Go on! Marion Chambers: Dr. Loomis! Dr. Sam Loomis: You stay with me and shut up! Dr. Sam Loomis: I have a feeling I'm gonna need you in there. Can I trust you? Marshal: What have I got to lose, except my job? Dr. Sam Loomis: There's a two-way radio in the Marshal's car. I want you to go outside, get on that radio and get Hunt! Marshal: Now wait a minute! I'm the only one authorized to use that! Dr. Sam Loomis: MOVE! Voice on Radio: Unit calling, identify. Marion Chambers: Marion Chambers with Dr. Loomis at the clinic - he's here! Voice on Radio: Ah, ten-four. Unit calling, identify suspect. Marion Chambers: Michael Myers! Just get your ass over here! Mrs. Alves: Men! Can't live with them, can't live without them. Karen: [hesitating to give Darcy a ride home] Can't you ask Eddie Lee? Darcy: He's in Russellville! Karen: It's five minutes to your house, another five minutes to the hospital. Mrs. Alves is going to kill me! Darcy: You promised. Karen: [giving in] I know I did. Mrs. Alves: I'm trying to reach Mr. or Mrs. Morgan Strode. They've left? Could you give me another number? All right. Thank you. You should've called them right away. Now I can't find them. Janet Marshall: I didn't know. Mrs. Alves: Right away. Janet Marshall: I'm sorry, Mrs. Alves. Jimmy: I'll be with Laurie. Cover for me. Mrs. Alves: I heard that. Two minutes. That's it. Mrs. Alves: Time's up, Jimmy. Let's go. Jimmy: OK. OK. Mrs. Alves: No you won't. Visiting hours are definitely over. Dr. Sam Loomis: You see that on the blackboard back there? Samhain. In order to appease the gods, the Druid priests held fire rituals. Prisoners of war, criminals, the insane-animals-were burned alive. By observing how they died the Druids believed they could predict omens of the future. Ten thousand years later we've come no further. Samhain isn't goblins or evil spirits. It isn't witches or ghosts. It's the unconscious mind. We're all afraid of the dark inside ourselves. Dr. Loomis: It's Time, Michael. Budd: [singing] Amazing Grace, come sit on my face / Don't make cry / I need your pie... Jimmy: Look why don't you just shut up, all right?
