Scream to Scream, Scene by Scene: SCENE 30 of Scream 2 (1:45:19-1:47:38)

In this project I attempt to review the entire Scream trilogy scene by scene in chronological order. Heavy spoilers and gore throughout!



SCENE 30 of Scream 2
Length: 2min 19secs
Primary Characters: Sidney Prescott, Cotton Weary, Gale Weathers, Dewey Riley and Joel the Cameraman
Pop Culture References:
  • None, although major meta movie moment alert!


Chief Hartley. What a shit job he did, yeah? The deaths of the two officers, plus Hallie and Derek feel partly responsible to him, don't you think?


Aw, Joel the Cameraman came back! Suspiciously as soon as the murders end, too! I sense secret third killer subplot right there. Or maybe he and Chief Hartley were working in tandem to get these guys alone and easier to kill? I actually like to think that once Gale left the hospital with Dewey that she fired him while screaming "Kenny DIED for me!" or some such. If only.


"We've got a live one!"


"Dewey..."


"I can't believe you're alive!"

Despite the fact that, yes indeed, nobody can believe Dewey is still alive, I still love this moment. It fills the cockles of my heart, as they says. Whatever the cockles of my heart are, Gale and Dewey fill them every time.

Of course, when Gale gets in the ambulance to go with him to the hospital, you just know Joel the Cameraman is all "I came back for this?"


Whoa, lady! You're not pretty enough to be that touchy with strangers.


It's almost as if she's saying to herself "So long, sucker! I'm gonna go become a reclusive hotline worker and you'll become famous and then when the next killer strikes they'll get you first!" How very Jennifer Jolie of her. Cunning.


"No one wants to give you the story more than I do. Unfortunately there is a time, a place, and, indeed, a price for everything so feel free to call me."
"C'mon Cotton! Tell us something."
"Well, I'll tell you one thing... it'll make a helluva movie."

And zing. They had to get one last jab in there, didn't they? It helps that it's a good one, yeah? And, suitably, ends the film on one of the most meta moments imaginable!
