Child's Play 2

Grace Poole

Grace Poole: Andy? What are you doing? Come on, we've got to get out of the building.
[walks down stairwell with Andy before noticing Kyle]
Grace Poole: Kyle? What's going on here?
[points to fire alarm]
Grace Poole: You did this, didn't you?
Kyle: [nervously] He did it.
[gestures to Chucky]
Grace Poole: [firmly] Get into my office. Is this your idea of a joke?
[everyone stares at Chucky]
Grace Poole: Oh, give me that!
Chucky: [smiles] Amazing isn't it?
[stabs Grace three times]
Grace Poole: Aah! Aah! Aoah! Aaaaaooohhh!
[drops Chucky and falls into copier machine]
Kyle: Come on!
[grabs Andy and races out of office]
Chucky: [slams door behind Kyle and corners Andy] Okay, sport. We're gonna have a little game of Chucky Says. Chucky says move your ass. Snap out of it! Ya act like ya never seen a dead body before!

Sammy: I wanna play Red Light.
Grace Poole: No, Sammy. I don't wanna play Red Light. Now, I want you to go to bed right now.
Sammy: But, I'm scared.
Grace Poole: There's nothing to be scared of, it's just a storm.
[picks up ringing telephone]
Grace Poole: Grace Poole.
Chucky: Yes, I'm trying to reach Andy Barclay.
Grace Poole: Andy no longer lives with us. Who is this?
Chucky: This is his Uncle Charles.

Grace Poole: [watching Andy through a one-way observation window] Naturally, he was badly traumatized by the murders. But he bounced back pretty fast at that age.
Joanne: Poor kid.
Grace Poole: What Andy needs now is a normal family environment. A fresh start and a chance to forget the past. Since you two have been so good with so many children. We were hoping you might foster him until his mother recovers.
Joanne: There's always room for one more.
Phil: [grunts of disapproval]
Joanne: What's that supposed to mean?
Phil: Well, he seems "normal" enough, but how's all this affected him?
Grace Poole: Well, in order to come to terms with something he couldn't possibly understand. He, um, turned it all into a kind of fairytale. He insisted his doll was responsible. He said it was possessed by the soul of Charles Lee Ray.
Phil: Who?
Grace Poole: The Lakeshore Strangler. He murdered a dozen people in this series of ritual voodoo killings.
Phil: Are we even qualified to take care of a boy like this?
Grace Poole: Well I understand your concern Mr. Simpson. But this is just a child's way of coping with a difficult situation. Andy's fine now. He just wants to get on with his life.

Grace Poole: Andy, you'll be fine now. You'll come stay at the Center with us until we can find you a new family. We've placed Kyle with a number of families. Things always seem to turn out okay. Don't they?
Kyle: Yeah.
[hands Andy his suitcase]
Kyle: There's your stuff.
Grace Poole: Come on Andy. Let's go.
Andy Barclay: He's still in the cellar Kyle. Don't let him get you too.
Grace Poole: Andy!
