Dr. Samuel Loomis: These eyes will deceive you, they will destroy you. They will take from you, your innocence, your pride, and eventually your soul. These eyes do not see what you and I see. Behind these eyes one finds only blackness, the absence of light, these are of a psychopath.
Tommy Doyle: I heard that on Halloween night, the
boogeyman comes out at night and attacks kids.
Laurie Strode: He likes to eat little boys like you.
Laurie Strode: [crying] Was that
the boogeyman?
Dr. Samuel Loomis: As a matter of fact... I do believe it was.
Dr. Samuel Loomis: [saying goodbye to Michael] I don't know what else I can do for you, Michael. You haven't said a word in fifteen years. That's a life time. That's twice as long as my first marriage. It's funny but in some strange way you've become my best friend. I've done all I can for you so I am afraid that, now don't be upset but this is gonna be my last day, Michael. I have to move on.
Michael Myers - Child: Look at my mask.
Dr. Samuel Loomis: Oh, wow. Beautiful. Yeah. Why is it all black?
Michael Myers - Child: 'Cause it's one of my favorite colors.
Dr. Samuel Loomis: Well, actually, black isn't a color, is it? It's the
absence of color. In the spectrum of colors, you go from black, which is no
color, all the way through to white, which is every color. So, technically...
not that it really matters - but black isn't a color.
Ismael Cruz: [Ismael discovers multiple
massacred bodies and turns to find Michael standing behind him] Whoa...
Mikey... what're you doing out of your room...? Ok... now, don't do nothin'
we're both gonna regret later, ok, Mikey...? I'm gonna have to get you back into
your room, okay now?
[Ismael retrieves handcuffs from a dead guard]
Ismael Cruz: Let me get these. I'm just gonna... get these handcuffs
and... I'm gonna try and put these handcuffs on you right now, Mikey... and then
we'll get you back into your own bed, okay?
[Michael extends his hands slowly, Ismael cautiously approaches
Michael to put the handcuffs on but is visciously attacked, he begins to bleed
and sob]
Ismael Cruz: Mikey! I was good to you, Mikey...!
Michael Myers - Child: I like the mask because it hides
my face.
Deborah Myers: I don't like you to hide your face. Take it off.
Michael Myers - Child: It hides my ugliness.
Deborah Myers: Sweetie, don't say that. Take it off. You're not ugly.
Don't talk like that.OK?... I miss you so much.
Michael Myers - Child: I miss you, too.
