Richie Tozier: You punched me, made me walk through shitty water, dragged me through a crackhouse... and now I'm gonna have to kill this fucking clown.

Pennywise: Hi Georgie!
[pause]
Pennywise: What a nice boat. Do you want it back?
Georgie: Um... Yes, please.
Pennywise: You look like a nice boy, I bet you have a lot of friends.
Georgie: Three... but my brother is my best's best.
Pennywise: Where is he?
Georgie: In bed. Sick.
Pennywise: I bet I can cheer him up! I'll give him a balloon. Do you want a balloon too, Georgie?
Georgie: I'm not supposed to take stuff from strangers.
Pennywise: Oh! Well, I'm Pennywise, the dancing clown. "Pennywise?". "Yes?", "Meet Georgie". "Georgie, meet Pennywise".
[Georgie laughs]
Pennywise: Now we aren't strangers. Are we?
Georgie: What are you doing in the sewer?
Pennywise: A storm blew me away. Blew the whole circus away.
[laughs]
Pennywise: Can you smell the circus, Georgie? There's peanuts... cotton candy... hot dogs... and...
Georgie: Popcorn?
Pennywise: POPCORN! Is that your favorite?
Georgie: Uh-huh.
Pennywise: Mine too!
[laughs]
Pennywise: Because they pop! Pop, pop! Pop, pop! Pop, pop, pop!
[both laugh]
Pennywise: [pause]
Georgie: Um... I should get going, now.
Pennywise: Oh! Without your boat? You don't wanna lose it Georgie. Bill's gonna kill you! Here. Take it.
[pause]
Pennywise: Take it, Georgie.

Stanley Uris: When you're a kid, you think that you'll always be... protected, and cared for. Then, one day, you realize that's not true. If you open your eyes, you will see what we're going through. 'Cause when you're alone as a kid, the monsters see you as weaker. You don't even know they're getting closer. Until it's too late.

Mike Hanlon: Bill!
Beverly Marsh: Let him go!
Pennywise: NO! I'll take him! I'll take all of you! I'll feast on your flesh as I feed on your fear... Or... you'll just leave us be... I will take him. Only him, and I will have my long rest and you will all live to grow and thrive and lead *happy* lives, until old age takes you back to the weeds.
[pause]
Bill Denbrough: Leave!

Richie Tozier: Eddie!
[pause]
Richie Tozier: Oh, fuck! Eddie!
Pennywise: [to Bill] This isn't real enough for you, Billy? *I'm not real enough for you?*
Richie Tozier: Holy shit!
Pennywise: It was real enough for Georgie!
[laughs maniacally]

Stanley Uris: [Bill holds up a sneaker he found in the sewer] Shit... don't tell me that's...
Bill Denbrough: No... Georgie wore galoshes.
Eddie Kaspbrak: Whose sneaker is it?
Richie Tozier: It's Betty Ripsom's.
Eddie Kaspbrak: Oh shit. Oh god. Oh fuck! I don't like this.
Richie Tozier: How do you think Betty feels? Running around these tunnels with only one frickin shoe?

Ben Hanscom: Derry is not like any town I've been in before. They did a study once and, it turns out, people die or disappear at six times the national average. And that's just grown ups. Kids are worse. Way, way worse.

Bill Denbrough: He thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

Richie Tozier: Wait, can only virgins see this stuff? Is that why I'm not seeing this shit?

Pennywise: Where you going, Eds? If you lived here you'd be home by now! Come join the clown, Eds. You'll float down here. We all float down here. Yes, we do!

Bill Denbrough: We like hanging with you.
Beverly Marsh: [smiling] Thanks.
Bill Denbrough: You shouldn't thank us too much, hanging with us makes you a loser, too.

Pennywise: This isn't real enough for you, Billy? I'm not real enough for you? It was real enough for Georgie!

Bill Denbrough: Look, you don't have to come in with me, but what happens when another Georgie goes missing, or another Betty, or another Ed Corcoran, or... one of us? Are you just gonna pretend it isn't happening like everyone else in this town? Because I can't. I go home and all I see is that Georgie isn't there. His clothes, his toys, his stupid stuffed animals... but he isn't. So, walking into this house, for me, it's easier than walking into my own.

Stanley Uris: It's summer! We're supposed to be having fun! This isn't fun, it's scary and disgusting.

Eddie Kaspbrak: Okay, so let me get this straight. It comes out, from wherever, to eat kids for, like, a year, and then what? It just goes into hibernation?
Stanley Uris: Maybe it's like, what do you call it - cicadas. You know, the bugs that come out once every seventeen years?

Beverly Marsh: [Walking away from Ben] Hang tough, new kid on the block!
Ben Hanscom: [shouting after Bev] Please don't go girl! That's the name of another...
[to himself]
Ben Hanscom: New Kids On The Block song.

[first lines]
Georgie Denbrough: Sure I will not get into trouble, Bill?
Bill Denbrough: Don't be a wu-wu-wuss. I'd come with you if I weren't... dying.
Georgie Denbrough: You're not dying!
Bill Denbrough: You didn't see the v-v-vomit coming out of my nose this morning?
Georgie Denbrough: That's disgusting.
Bill Denbrough: Ok, go get the wax.
Georgie Denbrough: In the cellar?
Bill Denbrough: You want to fl-fl-float, dont' you?

Eddie Kaspbrak: I think it's great we're helping the new kid, but we also need to think of our own safety. I mean, he's bleeding all over and you guys know that there's an AIDS epidemic out there right now, as we speak, right? I mean, my mom's friend in New York City got it just by touching a dirty pole in the subway and enough of AIDS blood got into his system from a hangnail. A hangnail!

Stanley Uris: What's the Black Spot?
Eddie Kaspbrak: The Black Spot was a night club that was burned down years ago by that racist cult.
Stanley Uris: What?
Eddie Kaspbrak: Don't you watch Geraldo?

Beverly Marsh: [beating at Pennywise's hands around her beck] I'm not afraid of you!
Pennywise: You will be.
