Jackie Earle Haley: Freddy Krueger

A Nightmare on Elm Street

Freddy Krueger

Freddy Krueger: [Nancy falls into a pool of blood] How's this for a wet dream?

Freddy Krueger: [to Jesse] Did you know that after the heart stops beating, the brain can function for well over seven minutes?
[pause]
Freddy Krueger: We got six more minutes to play.

Freddy Krueger: [Nancy is screaming] Oh, that's music to my ears.
Nancy Holbrook: [struggling] I wanna wake up!
Freddy Krueger: You can't wake up. I had to keep you awake long enough so when you finally slept, you'd never wake up again. We're gonna be in here a long time. Did you really think your boyfriend could wake you up?
[puts claw on chest]
Freddy Krueger: I'm your boyfriend now.

Freddy Krueger: Little Nancy. Now that you caught me, what game do you wanna play next?
Nancy Holbrook: Fuck you!
Freddy Krueger: Ooh, sounds like fun. It's a little fast for me. How about we hang, first?
[Freddy grabs Nancy and makes her turn to face the bodies of her friends]
Nancy Holbrook: No. It's not real.
Freddy Krueger: It's real. I'm real.

Freddy Krueger: [to Quentin, who he's beat against a pipe, cut down his chest, thrown against a mirror, and punched in the face] Now why don't you just fucking *die*?

Freddy Krueger: You really shouldn't fall asleep in class.
[scratches chalkboard]
Freddy Krueger: Hi, Kris.
Kris Fowles: [backing away from Krueger] Who are you?
Freddy Krueger: [walking towards Fowles] You look just as beautiful as ever.
[raises his glove]
Freddy Krueger: You have nothing to worry about. This wont hurt one... little... bit.

Freddy Krueger: [to a young Nancy] If you can keep a secret, I'll take you to a special place.

Freddy Krueger: [while slamming Quentin's face into a pipe] You can't save her.
[Turns him around]
Freddy Krueger: Tag. You're it.
[Makes a slash across his chest]

Freddy Krueger: Little Nancy. All grown up.
Nancy Holbrook: [backing up] You're just a nightmare.
Freddy Krueger: [moving closer to Thompson] That's right. No one can ever prove I was ever here.
Nancy Holbrook: Who are you?
Freddy Krueger: You don't remember? You must. You're my number one. You're my... little Nancy.
[licks Thompson's cheek]
Nancy Holbrook: [moves face away] I set the alarm.
Freddy Krueger: Yes, you did. In your dream.
[sinister laugh; holds Thompson's hand in his clawed one; sniffs her hair]
Freddy Krueger: You smell different.

Freddy Krueger: [to Nancy] You can't hurt me. This is my world. And you can't ever leave.
