[After yelling a smart remark to Michael Myers] Annie: Geez, can't he take a joke? Laurie: You know what, Annie? One of these days you're going to get us all into deep trouble.
Nurse Chambers: Don't you think it would be better if you referred to "it" as "him"? Dr. Loomis: If you say so. Nurse Chambers: Your compassion's overwhelming, doctor.
[After Michael falls off the balcony] Laurie: Was that the bogeyman? Dr. Loomis: As a matter of fact... it was!
Laurie: I saw Mr. Riddle in his backyard, he was watching me. Annie: Mr. Riddle was watching you? Laurie! Mr. Riddle is eighty-seven! Laurie: He can still watch. Annie: That's probably all he can do.
Tommy: Laurie, what's the bogeyman? Laurie: There's no such thing.
