Freddy Krueger

 * [Dressed up as the Wicked Witch of the West, riding a broomstick] I'll get you, my pretty! And your little soul, too!
 * [Knocks out Johnny Depp on TV with a frying pan] Yeah, what are you on? Looks like a frying pan and some eggs to me.
 * [Talking to Spencer on TV] Hey, Spenc. Let's trip out.

Dialogue

 * John Doe: [looks at a child's drawing] "K. Krueger." Could mean anything from Kevin to Kyle.
 * Maggie Burroughs: All it really means is there was a child here by that name.
 * John Doe: No. It's me. I'm his kid. That's why he's kept me alive. He's trying to play some sick game with me.
 * Maggie Burroughs: He is dead, all right. He's dead, and your not his kid.
 * John Doe: How do you know? [points at Orphanage Woman] She remembered me.
 * Maggie Burroughs: She remembered me, too, and 50 other imaginary friends. Let's get out of here.


 * John Doe: I know why you let me go.
 * Freddy Krueger: Ohh. Do you think I'm your daddy? Mm-mm! Wrong!
 * [Freddy begins slicing at John's parachute line]
 * John Doe: But you let me live.
 * Freddy Krueger: Only long enough for to bring me back my daughter.
 * John Doe: Your daughter?
 * Freddy Krueger: [begins slicing away at other parachute line] And now, she's gonna take me to a whole new playground.
 * John Doe: No!
 * Freddy Krueger: [chops away at last line] Grounded!


 * Tracy: No one remembers John or Carlos. It's like they never existed. I've been hearing strange shit. Like some of the kids are dreaming about Carlos. And they don't even remember him.
 * Doc: I remember him.
 * Tracy: Why?
 * Doc: Because I can control my dreams. I'm not fooled by this thing you saw.
 * Maggie Burroughs: Freddy.
 * Doc: Whatever he is, he's fucking with the line between dreams and reality. He didn't just kill Carlos and the others. He erased them.


 * Freddy's Father: You been a waste since the day I took you in. Now it's time to take your medicine.
 * [whips Freddy with a belt]
 * Young Freddy: [laughs as the belt strikes him] Thank you, sir. May I have another?
 * [his father whips him four more times, but before he can do it the fifth time, Freddy grabs the belt]
 * Young Freddy: You wanna know the secret of pain? If you just stop feeling it, you can start using it.
 * [holds up a bloody razor blade]


 * Doc: Now he's gonna try and trick you just like he tricked Tracy. He'll try and use your eyes to fool you. You'll use these.
 * [shows her 3D glasses]
 * Maggie Burroughs: Get the hell outta here.
 * Doc: You want to live? These mean nothing here, but in a dream, they can be anything you want. He got inside your head. You get inside of his.
 * Maggie Burroughs: That's my job, isn't it?
 * Tracy: Be careful. He's good at finding out what hurts the most.
 * Doc: Exactly.
 * Tracy: That's why you gotta take me with you.
 * Maggie Burroughs: I can't. It's gotta be me and him. All right, Doc. Put me in.


 * Freddy Krueger: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but nothing will ever kill me. Well, let's see now. First, they tried burning me. [slices off thumb] Then they tried burying me. [slices off index finger] But this... this is my favorite. They even tried holy water! [slices off middle finger, drops hand out of frame and holds it up again with all fingers intact] But I just keep on tickin'... because they promised me that.
 * Doc: "They"?
 * Freddy Krueger: The dream people. The ones that gave me this job. In dreams... I am forever! Too bad you're not.


 * Freddy Krueger: Time to start all over again.
 * Maggie Burroughs: But this isn't Springwood.
 * Freddy Krueger: [laughs] Every town has an Elm Street!


 * Freddy Krueger: Go ahead... put it on. It's in your blood. That's it, put it on. Feels good, doesn't it? Yeah... come on. Let your daddy show you how to use it.
 * [Maggie slips on the glove and stabs Freddy in his stomach]
 * Tracy: Maggie! Maggie!
 * [Tracy tosses her a stick of dynamite and Maggie shoves it into Freddy's chest. She kisses Freddy on the cheek]
 * Maggie Burroughs: Happy Father's Day.
 * [runs out of the room]
 * Freddy Krueger: [looks at the screen] Oh... Kids.
 * [Freddy explodes]
