• Samantha Belmont : So did you make it with him last night?

  Regina Belmont : Who?

  Samantha Belmont : The Good Humor man, who do you think?

  Regina Belmont : Geez, is that what's bugging you?

  Samantha Belmont : That's no answer, man!

  Regina Belmont : No I didn't make it with him last night. Why are you so weirded out?

  Samantha Belmont : Oh right Reg, why should I be weirded out? My sister, who swiped every guy I ever had my eye on, has now swiped the last guy in the whole freaked out world!

• Samantha Belmont : So you guys are geniuses?

  Audrey White : Yeah - or we thought we were.

  Samantha Belmont : We had a couple of geniuses at school... they're both wimps.

• Samantha Belmont : They're around.

  Regina Belmont : They're not around.

  Samantha Belmont : Look, if you're trying to scare me, you're doing it okay?

  Regina Belmont : I'm not trying to scare you.

  Samantha Belmont : Then stop it!

  Regina Belmont : I'm not doing it! You try calling someone. Not just your pep squad. Anyone. Nobody's home!

• Samantha Belmont : [to Regina]  I just had it out with Doris once and for all again.

• Samantha Belmont : Do you get a lot of dates this way?

  Hector Gomez : Okay. Hey, I know what you're thinking.

  Samantha Belmont : That you're a cretin?

  Hector Gomez : Sweetheart, you haven't seen any of those freaked out zombies running around out there?

  Regina Belmont : Yeah, I was jumped by one less than an hour ago.

  Hector Gomez : Well, you got away lucky. Me and this girl pulled into town this morning. We spent last night in the back of the trailer I was towing.

  Samantha Belmont : You don't work here?

  Hector Gomez : No, I drive a truck. I was hauling some freight and heading to San Diego with this girl I picked up yesterday while she was hitchhiking on the I-5 when we were looking for a gas station to fill up. We pulled into one station, but it was closed and locked up. We got out of the truck and we're looking around for anyone and that's when we spotted one of those... whatever they are... one of those things behind the gas station. It was standing beside a metal garbage dumpster. It looked like it was... eating a cat.

  Samantha Belmont : A dead cat?

  Hector Gomez : Well... semi-dead.

  Samantha Belmont : Who'd want to eat a live cat?

  Hector Gomez : Beats the shit out of me. Anyway, this girl freaked out. She took off running. I spotted her 20 minutes later in an alleyway not far from here. She was dead. It looked like another one or more of those things had... torn her apart.

  Regina Belmont : Oh, God. Larry! I think I'm gonna be sick!

• Samantha Belmont : Doris, Reggie's on the phone.

  Doris Belmont : She's not having car trouble?

  Samantha Belmont : She's going to be out all night with her science class at the observatory. I know all about it.

  Regina Belmont : Yeah. Hi, Doris.

  Doris Belmont : What's this about a science class, Regina?

  Regina Belmont : Well, you want me to do better in science don't you?

  Doris Belmont : I want you home in 5 minutes after you finish work. If you want to watch the comet, you can do it here.

  Regina Belmont : Look, Doris. Like, I'm 18 okay? And I can watch the comet where ever I want to watch the comet.

• Samantha Belmont : What are you trying to do? Give me a heart attack? I thought you were Doris. Did you know she decked me last night? She really hit me. Knocked one of my teeth loose. Wait till Daddy hears about that. You know he's always telling me to be careful with my mouth because my dental plan doesn't cover anything cosmetic. Oh, anyway get this... I think Chuck and Doris spent the night together last night. Wait till Daddy hears about that. I mean even if he isn't pissed off about my mouth which I can't imagine.

  Regina Belmont : What's happening?

  Samantha Belmont : Oh, yeah? I guess you are a little confused. God, you look terrible. I ran away last night after Doris slapped me. Left a note and everything. But I didn't have anyplace to go, so I spent the night alone in the lawn storage shed. Pretty gross with the 'Snare-All' spray and everything. God, look at this kitchen! I'm not cleaning this mess up.

  Regina Belmont : Uh... . Samantha?

  Samantha Belmont : So anyway, since I was still here this morning I thought, hey I'll go to pep squad practice and split right after. Don't know if pep squad practice is on or not. Can't get anyone on the phone.

  Regina Belmont : Sammy, you can't get anyone on the phone because everybody's gone.

  Samantha Belmont : What?

  Regina Belmont : [grabs Samantha]  I swear to God! Did you hear what I just said? Everybody's gone!

  Samantha Belmont : [gags]  Uh... you made me swallow my gum!

  Regina Belmont : Will you shut up and listen to me? There's nobody around! Nobody!

  Samantha Belmont : [sarcastic and oblivious]  Yeah, right. Nobody. I'm sure.

  Regina Belmont : [grabs Samantha and leads her out of the kitchen and towards the front door]  Come here! Take a look!

  Samantha Belmont : Take a look at what? Hey! Don't pull on my arm! Back off! This sweater cost 80 bucks!
