History Funny / ScreamVI

** Her describing Amber and Richie as "whiny snowflake film nerds with Website/{{Letterboxd}} accounts instead of personalities". To that end, the current top review of this film on Letterboxd reads [[https://letterboxd.com/sapphicquinn/film/scream-vi/ "Not going to lie the letterboxd insult hurt a little".]]

* When Sam visits her apartment afterwards, we see that [[ProperlyParanoid she has numerous locks on her door]], as she meticulously locks each and every one of them.
* Sam then hears strange noises coming from one of the rooms, and the scene gets tense, as there might be an intruder. As she gets closer to the noises...they just turn out to be her roommate Quinn having ''very'' enthusiastic sex.

* Sam, angry that Gale went back on her promise [[Film/Scream2022 to let Richie and Amber die in anonymity]], takes a swing at her, [[CallBack not unlike Sidney]]. [[GenreSavvy Gale initially dodges it]] and triumphantly snarks that she's "done this dance before"...only for Tara to get her from the other side.
** Later, when Gale apologizes to the sisters, Tara tells Gale she's sorry for the punch. Gale says "No, you're not," to which Tara instantly agrees.

*** Before that, though, when Danny can't get Quinn or Sam's attention when he sees Ghostface in the apartment across from him, he tries talking mad shit at the killer in an attempt to intimidate him. It doesn't work, but it seems even the killer found it funny.

* Mindy vocally expressing her disbelief in Kirby's plan to [[PhoneTraceRace trace Ghostface on the phone]]. While her doubts are not unfounded, her trademark [[DeadpanSnarker snark]] makes them entertaining.
-->"And you think they're safe because it's broad daylight in a public place? [[Film/Scream2 This is exactly how our uncle Randy died.]] Broad daylight -- public place -- yanked into a van -- stab, stab, stab -- no more Randy."

* On Gale's first proper call with Ghostface, they have this exchange:
-->'''Ghostface:''' You never got to be the leading lady, did you? It was always all about poor, sweet Sidney sucking up all the oxygen. Where did that leave you to be?\\

* After Bailey lays out his whole MotiveRant, explaining how Sam killing Richie had motivated the rest of his family to take up the Ghostface mantle for vengeance, he and Sam have the following exchange:

** The sheer image of Bailey, an old and respected police officer, [[VillainousBreakdown breaking down like a child]] and responding to Sam's statements about his son with the equivalent of "Nuh-uh!"

** In the same scene, Mindy casually mentions she's on several hospital drugs.
** Her showing up and calling that both Bailey and Ethan were among the killers and being both surprised and disappointed to find out Quinn was too and she didn't call ''that''.

* [[TheStinger "Not every movie needs a post-credits scene!"]] says Mindy of course.

* [[TheStinger "Not every movie needs a post-credits scene!"]]

** The scene also has a great bit of sibling bickering, with Mindy making loud retching noises when Chad and Tara are having a moment.

** Her describing Amber and Richie as "whiny snowflake film nerds with Letterboxd accounts instead of personalities". To that end, the current top review of this film on Letterboxd reads [[https://letterboxd.com/sapphicquinn/film/scream-vi/ "Not going to lie the letterboxd insult hurt a little".]]

'''Mindy:''' And that makes it more likely that she's the killer, because having a cop dad is a great cover. ''Do you not remember how these movies work, Tara?''\\

* Tara and Sam steal Bailey's cop car to get to Gale's apartment, leaving him shouting, "''You can't steal a cop's car!''" Sam even asks if they'll turn on the lights and sirens, to which Tara quips back, "You think we'd steal a cop car and ''not'' use the lights and sirens?" Then turns on the lights and sirens.

** Her telling Quinn that she’s likely to die because of her being "the slutty roommate, a time-honored horror trope," to which Quinn says she's "sex positive."
** Her describing Amber and Richie as "whiny film nerds with Letterboxd accounts instead of personalities". To that end, the current top review of the film on Letterboxd reads [[https://letterboxd.com/sapphicquinn/film/scream-vi/ "Not going to lie the letterboxd insult hurt a little".]]

** After Mindy highlights how the "legacy characters" (Gale and Kirby) are now at risk of death, she says, "That's not even the worst part!", to which Chad [[DeadpanSnarker casually]] tells Tara and Ethan, "[[ThisIsThePartWhere This is the part where]] [[ShapedLikeItself she tells us the worst part.]]"

--->'''Danny:''' You got a better idea?

** She later uses her investigative journalism skills to seemingly try and one-up Kirby on discovering new details of the Ghostface murders. After she reveals that she's uncovered the shrine packed with Ghostface memorabilia, Kirby mentions that she never discovered any such location when looking over financial records. Gale responds pridefully:

-->"And you think they're safe because it's broad daylight in a public place? This is exactly how our uncle Randy died. Broad daylight -- public place -- yanked into a van -- stab, stab, stab -- no more Randy."

** And she's less upset about her AgonizingStomachWound then she is about failing to finger the correct killer -- ''again''. Bonus irony points. . . '''she wasn't wrong'''.

** The sheer image of Bailey, a respected police officer, [[VillainousBreakdown breaking down like a child]] and responding to Sam's statements about his son with the equivalent of "Nuh-uh!"
* A small dark comedy moment: after Ethan stabs Kirby and Sam has to defend herself against the Baileys, Sam goes up to Kirby, apologizes, and says she "kinda needs" the knife in her before pulling it straight out of her.

* Tara and Sam steal Bailey's cop car to get to Gale's apartment, leaving him shouting, "''You can't steal a cop's car!''" Sam even asks if they'll turn on the lights and sirens, to which Tara quips back, "Why do you think we're stealing a cop car?"

** Her telling Quinn that she’s likely to die because of her sex positivity (to which she says, "Thank you?").

* In Sam's first scene with her new boyfriend Danny, we find that he's not turned off in the slightest by Sam's stained reputation as a result of the rumors that she masterminded the previous movie's murders; in fact, he feels quite the opposite.

* Earlier in the same interview, Bailey asks Sam and Tara about their whereabouts at the time of Greg and Jason’s murders. Sam explains she was at her therapist before going to a frat party [[ItMakesSenseInContext where she tasered a guy.]] When Bailey eyes her oddly, Sam explains as the incident as “unrelated”.

** Sam at one point tells a wounded Mindy to go through the bathroom. By doing so, Mindy discovers a dead body in the bathtub; her woozy, shock-induced reaction is a splash of humor in a tense sequence.

* Chad’s initial attempt at getting Sam, Tara, and Mindy to agree to the new “Core Four” name is pretty quickly rebuffed. However, this soon becomes a heartwarming moment when they finally do accept it.
** The first time Mindy uses the name, Chad thanks her and high-fives her, which she reciprocates while saying, "I hate myself."
** Later in the film, when Chad tries to bring group morale by bringing up the nickname, Danny tries to join in only for Chad to tell him it’s a “Core Four” thing (i.e. the Woodsboro survivors) — [[SeriousBusiness which Danny quickly learns to respect]].
** The scene also has a great bit of sibling bickering, with Mindy making loud retching noises when Chad and Tara are having a moment.

* Sam, angry that Gale went back on her promise [[Film/Scream2022 to let Richie and Amber die in anonymity]], takes a swing at her, [[CallBack not unlike Sidney]]. [[GenreSavvy Gale initially dodges it]] and triumphantly snarks that she's "done this dance before"...only for Tara to get her from the other side.
** Later, when Gale apologizes to the sisters, Tara tells Gale she’s sorry for the punch. Gale says “No, you’re not,” to which Tara instantly agrees.
* While going over all past Ghostfaces with Detective Bailey, Kirby notes that [[Film/Scream3 Roman Bridger]] was the only solo Ghostface and offers some sarcastic praise.
-->"Kudos to him for ambition."

** Her bluntly pointing out all the newbies are potential suspects.

* While Sam and Tara are fighting after the party, Anika and Ethan have switched hats, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent which is in the background for the majority of this tense scene adding a bit of levity to it]]. After Sam gets hit with soda, you get a clear view of him in Anika's orange hat when he offers her some tissues, and Sam actually takes them.

* When Dr. Stone asks Sam to really open up after spending six months with him and not really explaining her trauma, Sam responds in an almost casual tone that not only is her father an infamous serial killer, but she killed a man by stabbing him 22 times, slitting his throat, and shooting him in the head. Stone is clearly disturbed, certainly not expecting that answer.

** Sam then asks "Is that Paul?" about the man Quinn's sharing her bed with. As Quinn says no and closes the door, we hear the man saying "Who the fuck is Paul?" in the background, implying either that Sam got his name wrong or that [[ReallyGetsAround Quinn is so sexually active]] that she's already replaced a Paul in the past with a new guy; both are equally humorous to imagine.

** Before that, though, when he couldn't get Quinn or Sam's attention, he tries talking mad shit at the killer in an attempt to intimidate him. It doesn't work, but it seems even the killer found it funny.

* Another darkly funny moment: when Ethan reveals himself as a Ghostface, he explains that it was easy to manipulate the roommate lottery to room with Chad and meet the Core Four. He then goes into a brief tangent about how Chad is a "conceited, condescending alpha" and says, "Fuck! It felt good to kill him!" But as we find out in the end, [[ButtMonkey he couldn't even do that after stabbing Chad]] ''[[ButtMonkey countless]]'' [[ButtMonkey times.]] Maybe Detective Bailey was right to favor Richie?

* A darkly comedic one: Danny's solution to trying to get Sam, Mindy, and Anika into his apartment is a utility ladder. Sam is [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe incredulous]] when he first pulls it out.
-->'''Danny:''' You got a better idea?

* Sam's belief that her and Danny's romance is a SecretRelationship is undercut by the revelation that Tara and the twins were ''completely'' aware and have been for a while.

'''Bailey:''' That's not true!\\

'''Bailey:''' He was a strong, ''virile'' young man!\\

* Mindy explaining the rules of “a sequel to a requel”, which includes bluntly pointing out all the newbies are potential suspects, telling Quinn that she’s likely to die because of her sex positivity (to which she says, "Thank you?"), Chad taking notes and writing down "beheading", and Ethan revealing he’s a virgin [[TooMuchInformation to the chagrin of everyone else]].
-->'''Mindy:''' That was...a weird overshare.
** The bit with Ethan becomes a BrickJoke later on in the climax after a Ghostface socks a display doll’s head off while trying to kill Chad. The first place his mind goes -- "''Beheadings?!''"

* Gale, even after being attacked in her own apartment, asks Ghostface if she can ''[[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu put him on hold]].'' Much like the previous Ghostface in ''Film/Scream2022'' when Sidney hung up on him, this Ghostface is stunned, only managing a confused "Huh?" before Gale does just that. Gale then star-sixty-nine's the killer to out their location and promptly shoots at the door they're hiding behind.

* When Sam visits her apartment afterwards, we see that [[ProperlyParanoid she has numerous locks on her door]], which makes for a quick beat of her meticulously locking each and every one of them.
* Sam then hears strange noises coming from one of the rooms, and the scene gets tense, as there might be an intruder. As she gets closer to the sounds...they just turn out to be her roommate Quinn having ''very'' enthusiastic sex.
** Sam then asks "Is that Paul?" about the man Quinn's sharing a bed with. As Quinn says no and closes the door, we hear the man saying "Who the fuck is Paul?" in the background, implying either that Sam got his name wrong or that [[ReallyGetsAround Quinn is so sexually active]] that she's already replaced a Paul in the past with a new guy; both are equally humorous to imagine.

'''Anika:''' And I'm ''spectacularly'' uninterested in knowing anything about you.

* Sam, angry Gale went back on her promise [[Film/Scream2022 to let Richie and Amber die in anonymity,]] takes a swing at her, [[CallBack not unlike Sidney]]. [[GenreSavvy Gale initially dodges it]] and triumphantly snarks that she's "done this dance before"...only for Tara to get her from the other side.
** Later, when Gale apologizes to the sisters, Tara tells Gale she’s sorry for the punch. Gale says “No, you’re not,” to which Tara instantly agrees.
* During the apartment chase, Sam at one point tells a wounded Mindy to go through the bathroom. By doing so, Mindy discovers a dead body in the bathtub; her woozy, shock-induced reaction is a splash of humor in a tense sequence.
-->"''OH, FUCK,'' that guy's dead!"

** The sheer image of Bailey, a respected police detective, [[VillainousBreakdown breaking down like a child]] and responding to Sam's statements about his son with the equivalent of "Nuh-uh!"

* A small dark comedy moment: after Kirby is stabbed and Sam has to defend herself against the Baileys, Sam goes up to her, apologizes, and says she "kinda needs" the knife in Kirby before pulling it straight out of her.
* Another darkly funny moment: when Ethan reveals himself as a Ghostface, he explains that it was easy to manipulate the roommate lottery to room with Chad and meet the Core Four. He then goes into a brief tangent about how Chad is a "conceited, condescending alpha" and says:
-->'''Ethan:''' Fuck! It felt good to kill him!
** Even funnier? [[ButtMonkey He couldn't even do that after stabbing Chad]] ''[[ButtMonkey countless]]'' [[ButtMonkey times.]] Maybe Detective Bailey was right to favor Richie?
* When Ghostface attacks Chad and Tara shortly after their first kiss, they manage to fight the killer off and then make for the door. At the exact instant Chad pulls open the door, Sam pushes it open from the other side, and all three end up accidentally startling each other.
* Mindy explaining the rules of “a sequel to a requel”, which includes bluntly pointing out all the newbies are potential suspects, telling Quinn that she’s likely to die because of her sex positivity (to which she says, "Thank you?"), Chad taking notes and writing down "beheading", and Ethan revealing he’s a virgin [[TooMuchInformation to the chagrin of everyone else]].
-->'''Mindy:''' That was...a weird overshare.
** Becomes a BrickJoke later on in the climax after a Ghostface socks a display doll’s head off while trying to kill Chad. The first place his mind goes -- "''Beheadings?!''"
* Another dark comedic moment: during the apartment attack: a wounded Mindy tells an even more injured Anika that she’s bleeding a lot, to which she tells Mindy to tell her something positive.
* Chad swings a giant camera into a Ghostface's head with a one-liner:
-->"Smile for the camera, motherfucker!"
* After Sam brutally finishes off Detective Bailey, the sisters break the tension:
-->'''Tara (awkwardly):''' Nice.
-->'''Sam:''' Thanks.
