"I'm gonna go and get the guy who did it and I want you to be there to arrest him when I bring him out, okay?" "Just tell me who did it." "I'll go get him, baby." "Fred Krueger did it, Daddy, and only I can get him." "It's my nightmare he comes to." "Just come here and break the door down in exactly 20 minutes." " Can you do that?" " Yeah, sure." "That'll be exactly half past midnight." "Time..." "Time enough for me to fall asleep and find him." "Honey, look, you just do that." "Get yourself some sleep." " That's what I've been telling you." " But you'll be here?" " They're waiting for you upstairs." " Yeah." "Sure, I'll be there, sweetheart." "Now, look, you just get yourself some rest, please." "Deal?" " Deal."

" He's in the john puking since he saw it." "I guess I should have told you about him then." "Let's just get some sleep, Mom." "It's gonna be okay." "I was just trying to protect you." "I didn't see how much you needed to know." "You face things." "That's your nature." "That's your gift but sometime you have to turn away too." "I love you." "I love you too, baby." "Night."
