Jerry Dandrige
Amy, awake!
Amy, awake!
Show me how much you love me, Amy,
Kill them both!
This high school boy who lives next door has pushed me way too far,
Harassing me at every single turn.
He stabbed me with a pencil, I destroyed his precious car.
He keeps on coming back, he doesn't learn!
You can't fathom the trouble you've caused me, Charley,
The nuisance you've proven to be,
Spying on me, almost disturbing my sleep, telling policemen about me!
Amy, awake!
Amy, awake!
Tell them I love you like I do, Amy,
Kill them both!
Peter Vincent
I'm terrified, Charley,
I'm sorry, I am.
I'm nothing like my character, I tried.
Charley Brewster
Mr. Vincent, shit!
Peter Vincent
I'm not the dashing lead, I was in Orgy of the Damned.
When I told you I believed you -- I lied.
I'm not Peter Vincent, the great vampire killer,
I didn't want to help you, I was paid.
I'm not Peter Vincent, the great vampire killer,
That is a character in a movie!
Me, I'm just afraid.
Jerry Dandrige
He's brought along this charlatan to help him on his quest.
They killed my loyal boyfriend, Billy Cole.
You're showing signs of courage, Mr. Vincent, I'm impressed,
I'm going to enjoy your final role, so
Amy!
Amy, awake!
Peter Vincent
I am Peter Vincent, the great vampire killer!
Jerry Dandrige
Amy, awake!
Peter Vincent
It's over, Mr. Dandrige, there's the sun!
Jerry Dandrige
Show me how much you love me, Amy,
Come in ??? and save me.
Peter Vincent
I waged a war against your kind for more than thirty years
And I have always won!
Jerry Dandrige
Mr. Vincent is coming to slay me!
Amy, awake!
Peter Vincent
I am Peter Vincent, the great vampire killer!
Jerry Dandrige
Amy, awake!
Peter Vincent
Be gone now, you creature of the night!
Jerry Dandrige
Show them your beautiful smile, Amy. Kill them both!
Peter Vincent
I searched my soul and this is who I am,
Peter Vincent, Charley you were right!
Jerry Dandrige
Amy!
Amy!
Amy!
Amy!
Evil Ed
Ah-ha-ha! Oh, you're so cool, Brewster!
