- Dr. Bronson: Okay, well, you're dead. Which is unusual, because we don't normally see this much activity in a dead person.
- Dr. Bronson: I'm afraid I have some bad news. Your boy is very sick. He's lost a massive amount of blood, and his pulse and retinal response are poor, and as you can see there's an axe sticking out of his head.
- Big Chuck: He's not sick, you idiot, he's dead!
- Dr. Bronson: Oh, everybody's a doctor. You think maybe I could make the diagnosis?
- Mr. Dingle: You know son... your mother and I, and the ambulance driver, and the coroner, and the embalmer, were all pretty much convinced that you were dead.
- Johnny: I got better.
- Mr. Dingle: Huh. Well, welcome home, son.
- Johnny: Thanks.
- Mrs. Dingle: Are you hungry, do you want something to eat? Gee, there's a lot of food left over from the funeral.
- Johnny: You may not know this, Missy, but I ate Chuck for YOU!
- Missy's Friend: God, my boyfriend won't even pump gas for me.
- Mrs. Dingle: Dr. Bronson, the reason I called is that our son Johnny... died the other day, and I was wondering if you could take a look at him... Would you like to talk to him? Sure. Johnny?
- Eddie: Alright, newsflash, this just in, Johnny: Missy is going to the prom with Buck. You got it?
- Johnny: Look. You pretend to kill her, I save her life, she thinks I'm a hero, ditches Buck and goes to the prom with me. How sweet is that?
- Eddie: This is desperate and this is sick. I think you should get some therapy. I do!
- [after his ear falls off]
- Johnny: I heard someone my age is supposed to be comfortable with the way their body changes, but given the circumstances, this was too much.
- Johnny: Sorry I'm late, Mrs. Cooper. You wouldn't BELIEVE the trouble I had getting here!
- Johnny's School Teacher: I would believe it. And I'm not impressed. You get one demerit.
- Johnny: But-!
- Johnny's School Teacher: Just because you're dead does not mean that you can come waltzing in here whenever you like.
- Missy: Johnny, hi! Uh, listen, I think it's really great that you're back from the dead and all, but I've got gym.
- Buck Van Patten: You think you can hang out with us decent living folks like you're still alive or something?
- Johnny: Why is everyone making such a big deal about this? I've only been dead ONE DAY.
- Johnny: Look, I almost took a bite out of my friend Eddie, and it was SUCH the wrong thing to do. He's very mad.
- Reporter Brenda: We just received word that some sort of tragedy has happened in the high school today.
- Sheriff McCloud: No, nothing unusual.
- Reporter Brenda: I was referring to the slaughter.
- Sheriff McCloud: Right, well, there was that. Earlier today one of the students got badly killed.
- Teacher: Extinguish all talking
