A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child

Sixty-eight... sixty-nine...

seventy... seventy-one...

Come on, will you?

Shut up!

You'll make me lose the count.

Seventy-two...

Seventy-three.

Close enough. It's a hundred.

Let's go.

No, wait!

Hey, Alice! Alice, wake up!

Jesus.

And as adults, we must now prepare for a new life...

outside this wonderful environment...

known as Springwood High.

So let's blow this pop stand!

Alice! Yvonne!

Girl, what's wrong? Let's see a smile.

I had kind of a long night.

Dan keeping you up again?

Girl, you better put a lock on that window.

The Dan part was nice.

These things are wild. What do you think?

You look like a nun.

Dying to break her vows.

Find me a man!

Fabulous.

Maybe I should spell it out for you.

Maybe God's trying to tell you something.

When are you gonna run away with me?

Next life. What's that?

My undying love. Have some.

Mark, give it up. It's hopeless.

I think I'm starting to wear her down.

Have a taste anyway.

Greta! That's not what a cover girl puts in her body!

Shit!

She read you.

Ladies, where's the party tonight?

Why don't we go to Alice's?

No. My dad's got this thing about drinking in the house.

We gotta do something.

Guys, I got swimming practice until six-thirty.

So?

They're gonna give me the key, so I can lock up after I'm done.

Pool party!

Oh, damn, I gotta work tonight!

Hey, Mark! Picture time!

Come get immortalized... parents and brats.

Greta! Photo opportunity, dear!

Damn it, they caught me.

I have to go gnash my teeth for the paparazzi.

You guys go on. I'll catch up with you later.

- Hey, beautiful. - Oh, Jesus, don't do that!

Sorry. I got a present for you.

You got the tickets?

Yeah. They're coach seats...

but this plane stops in Paris.

It's gonna be a great summer.

Yeah, I know.

Hey... what's the matter?

Nothing. It's just...

I didn't see my dad at the ceremony.

Well, he'll show up.

Hey, come on.

What's really wrong?

I had one of those dreams last night.

About him?

Well, not exactly.

It's that I just felt like I wasn't in control...

for the first time since all that.

Look, if you don't dream him up, he can't hurt you or us.

Remember?

You're right.

There you go. Love you.

- I love you. - Hey, Danny! Dan!

You look sweet today.

Hello, darling.

Dan, this is Coach Ostrow. He's interviewing next week.

Finest quarterback in the state.

You know what they say...

this boy feels the need for speed.

So I've heard.

Dad, could we get into this later?

Summer's just starting.

Dan, we're talking about your future here.

Excuse us, dear.

- Listen. - It's OK, Dan.

We take care of our boys.

Say "cheese."

"Congratulations, Alice.

"You looked beautiful up there."

"I'm so proud of you.

"Gee, thanks, Dad."

You do look beautiful.

I was afraid you weren't coming.

I watched from behind the stands.

I didn't want to embarrass you.

"The drunk showed up." That kind of thing.

That's in the past.

Unless you've stopped going to your meetings.

No. A deal's a deal.

Come on.

Where are we going?

Oh... to take a picture.

I don't take good pictures.

Call me when your shift ends, OK?

Good-bye, sir.

Don't worry. I'll have her home by August.

Just kidding.

See you later.

Thanks for everything, Dad.

You sure you don't want a ride to work?

No. It's just across the park.

Have fun tonight.

Oh, sorry!

Freddy's coming for you

Three, four

Better lock your door

Five, six

Grab your crucifix

Seven, eight

Better stay up late

Seven, eight

Better stay awake

Nine, ten

He's back again

Wait!

Let me go! Let me go!

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Just do exactly what I say.

Help me!

Why is this happening again?

Oh, please don't let him do this!

Don't panic, Amanda.

We have a breech birth here.

It's backward!

We're going to have to turn it around.

Take a deep breath.

I'm going to need you to push. Now push!

Holy shit.

What is it?

Careful!

Sister, this is one of God's creatures.

Take solace in that.

That is no creature of God!

Stop it! Give it to me!

Don't let it get away!

Where are you?

No! Not again!

It's a boy!

You can't come back!

I locked the door on you.

Well, I found the key!

Your birth was a curse on the whole of humanity.

I will not allow it to happen again.

You brought me back to give you life...

but now I must take yours.

We'll see, bitch.

We'll just see.

I must be released from my earthly prison.

How?

Look for me in the tower.

You'll never find her.

Anne.

Oh, God, I'm glad it's you.

- It was terrible. - What happened?

I was in the dream...

and I don't know how, but now he's back.

I thought you were dead. You're four hours late.

Four hours?

I wish I had a prescription for whatever it is you're on.

What?

Listen, thanks a lot, Alice, for nada.

Bombs away!

What'd your dad say about you and Alice going to Europe?

Nothing, really. Just screamed a lot...

and tried to convince me that I'm throwing my life away.

Who's throwing their life away?

Dan, and he's taking Alice with him.

Pretty good dive, Yvonne. You've been practicing.

That's right. Two hours a day, six days a week.

Have another one. I think you need it.

No. I got a shift in a couple of hours.

Aren't you going in?

No. My mom's got this asshole photographer coming over...

and I'm not supposed to mess up my hair.

Aren't you sick of your mom trying to run your life?

Don't let 'em.

Sure, no problem.

You know, he's right.

Sometimes I feel like I'm living with Melicertes.

- Who? - Melicertes.

He's this ancient guy I read about, right?

Who, like, killed his kids...

because he didn't like the way they were running the kingdom.

You're really weird, you know that?

Screw 'em!

Open the champagne! Let's have a party!

- All right! - All right!
