• Paul Gardener : Hey, how about some interviews? You know, students react to the tragedy on campus.

  Brenda : Okay. I am saddened, and moved by the tragic...

  Natalie : This was someone's life Paul. Did you even spend one minute thinking about that?

  Paul Gardener : No, I didn't. But because of my story, three-thousand five-hundred students will. I think that's enough to help me sleep at night.

• Brenda : Don't you want to be an urban legend, Nat? All your friends are now.

  Reese Wilson : Drop the weapon!

  Brenda : [turns around and sees Reese]  Oh great! Rent-a-cop to the rescue.

  Reese Wilson : Move over the the window, now, you loony psycho bitch!

• Brenda : I must say, Natalie, you have proven your friendship to me. Coming all the way out here without even a little pepper spray to defend yourself with.

• Natalie : You're fucking crazy!

  Brenda : I prefer the term "eccentric". But, yeah, I guess I'm a little "nutty".

• Brenda : Now, if I remove the gag you've got to promise me that you won't scream. Lord knows I had enough of that with Sasha.

  [Brenda smiles and waves, mirroring the killer's little wave after killing Sasha] 

• Professor William Wexler : Had those before?

  Brenda : Yeah. They're Pop Rocks; they crackle in your mouth.

  Professor William Wexler : Eat some... thirsty?... What's wrong? Something you might have heard about mixing Pop Rocks and Soda?

  Brenda : Well, supposedly, your stomach and your intestines and everything bursts.

• [to Natalie, Brenda, Paul, and Sasha] 

  Parker : Don't you guys get it? Come on, it's just like that urban legend.

  Natalie : What are you talking about?

  Parker : You know the story, A boy and a girl, parked out in the woods, making out...

  Brenda : [to Natalie]  You made out with him?

• Natalie : Brenda, you need help.

  Brenda : I have already tried therapy! Obviously, it did me no good, Natalie.

• Damon : I'll see you two in class tomorrow.

  Brenda : Unfortunately!

• [Damon has just sneaked up on Brenda and Natalie, proceeding to scare them half to death] 

  Damon : Boo!

  Brenda : [In disgust]  Is that what you do in your spare time, Damon? Just go around scaring people like a freak?

• Brenda : What's happening? I heard Sasha on the radio and...

  Natalie : She's dead!

  Brenda : Oh my God! Are you sure?

• Brenda : [after hearing about the news of Michelle Mancini's death by decapitation]  Hey, did anyone here know her? She roomed in Daly.

  Sasha , Parker : No.

  Brenda : [Natalie seems lost in thought. Brenda snaps her fingers]  Hello? Space cadet.

  Natalie : Oh, no. I didn't know her.

  Damon : Actually, you know, I did know her.

  Sasha : You did?

  Damon : Yeah, and I'll miss her, too. Girl gave great head.

• Natalie : Wait a second. Isn't there another legend about a guy with an axe in a woman's backseat?

  Sasha : Hello? My mom still checks the backseat before getting into her car.

  Natalie : That's how Michelle Mancini died.

  Brenda : Oh my God.

  Sasha : What are you trying to say, Natalie?

  Natalie : It's like someone out there is taking all these legends, and making them reality.

  Parker : [Sasha and Brenda seem momentarily worried for Natalie, but Parker seizes the moment]  Well, my big question is: what is he gonna do next, huh? Maybe put spider eggs in bubblegum? Or maybe ram a gerbil up a celebrity's ass?
