## R. L. Stine

* This is your last warning. You stay away from us, or something very bad will happen.
* You had to pick Abominable Snowman of Pasadena. You couldn't have picked Little Shop of Hamsters.
* Lemme tell you something about Steve King: Steve King wishes he could write like me. And I've sold way more books than him, but nobody ever talks about that! [Zach: Okay.] WAY MORE BOOKS!
* When I was younger, I suffered from terrible allergies that kept me indoors. And all the kids threw rocks at my window and called me names. So I created my own friends: monsters, demons, ghouls to terrorize the neighborhood and all the kids that made fun of me. And they became real to me. And then one day, they actually...became...real. My monsters literally leapt off the page. As long as the books remain locked, we're safe. But when they open, well, you've just seen what happens.
* [about his disappointment in Hannah] Sneaking off in the middle of the night with strange boys. [Champion: Unbelievable.] Shut it.
* It doesn't work unless it's a real Goosebumps story, with twists and turns and frights. Not to mention some personal growth for our hero.
* [about reviving Hannah] I may have written one more book.

## Slappy

* You've made Slappy very unhappy. He's not going back on the shelf ever again.
* [throws a book] That one's a real page-turner. [drives away and laughs]
* Dropped calls are gonna be the least of this town's problems!
* All my friends in one place! I've never been so happy. I don't want this day to end. And it doesn't have to, as long as we get rid of Stine! CHARGE!!!
* [sees a bus] Oh, Papa, there's no escaping from us.
* [to the Werewolf of Fever Swamp] Follow the scent. Lead me to Stine.
* [last lines] See you in your dreams! [laughs evilly as he gets sucked into the book]

## Others

* Zach: [about the gnomes] Maybe they're friendly. [a gnome throws a knife at his head] Not friendly. Definitely not friendly!
* Champion: Silver fillings. I have a ton of cavities. When I was 10, I didn't brush my teeth for a whole year.
* Hannah: [whispering] Nobody make a sound. [lamp clatters]
* Lorraine: Calling all cops. Calling all the cops. Head to the high school. My nephew is in trouble. He's with R. L. Stine. They think they know how to stop all this.
* Officer Stevens: The town has been invaded. Communications are down. We're talking mass chaos and no one knows how to stop it.

## Dialogue
### From movie

    Robert Lawrence Stine: [introduces himself to a classroom] Hello. Ahem. My name is R. L. Stine, and I will be your new English teacher, 'cause Mr. Boyd is still recuperating from injuries sustained in a mutant insect attack. Now, every story ever told can be broken down into 3 distinct parts - the beginning… the middle… and the twist.
    Mr. Black (The real R. L. Stine): Hello, Mr. Stine.
    Mr. Stine: Hello, Mr. Black.
    [last lines]
    [after typing "The Invisible Boy's Revenge" on Stine's typewriter]
    Brent Green the Invisible Boy: You forgot about me! [leaves hand marks on the glass and laughs maniacally as Stine screams of terror]

### From trailer

    Champion: The Abominable Snowman just crawled out of a book, that doesn't just happen!
    R. L. Stine: You just released every monster I've ever created!
    Champ: What was that?
    Stine: It's the Invisible Boy.
    Champ: [getting slapped by Brent the Invisible Boy] Ow!
    Stine: Ah, he's such a crack up.
    [during a chase in the grocery store, the werewolf crashes in an aisle of food, then R. L. Stine trips and gets placed in a shopping cart, and Zach pushes the cart]
    Robert: What are you doing? Get me out! [the werewolf starts coming after Zach and Stine] Oh, no, no, no, no, no, keep going!
    Hannah: [quietly] Did you unlock a book?
    Zach Cooper: I'm sorry. I'll put it back where it belongs. Look, here it is.
    Hannah: No, don't open it! [Zach accidentally opens a manuscript which releases the Abominable Snowman of Pasadena, the Abominable Snowman touches a light of a ceiling lamp, which stings his finger] [whispering] Nobody make a sound. [Champ screams in terror which the Abominable Snowman of Pasadena hears him, then he starts to charge at him, but Zach pushes him aside, then the Abominable Snowman breaks out of the house]
    Hannah: So you're the new neighbor?
    Zach: Yeah. I'm Zach, by the way.
    Hannah: I'm Hannah.
    Stine: [from behind her] Hannah!
    Hannah: I gotta go.
    [R. L. Stine appears at the window]
    Zach: Hey, we're just moving in.
    Stine: [referring to the fence between their 2 houses] You see that fence?
    Zach: Uh, yes...
    Stine: [sternly] Stay on your side of it.
    [Stine leaves the window]
    Zach: [an army of lawn gnomes start popping out] Maybe, they're friendly. [1 lawn gnome throws a knife next to him, then its eyebrows turn angry] Not friendly, definitely not friendly! [one lawn gnome jumps and starts to attack Stine, but Champ smashes it with a frying pan]
    Zach: Alright, everyone, find anything you can to barricade the doors.
    Hannah: We cannot let the monsters inside.
    Zach: [referring to Hannah's dad] He's a big teddy bear.
    Hannah: Don't take it personally. He doesn't really like anyone.
    Hannah: [to Zach] C'mon, scaredy-cat!
