Ash : Yeah!
[after shooting King Arthur's sword in half]
Ash : Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my BOOMSTICK! The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?

[first lines]
Ash : [opening voiceover] My name is Ash and I am a slave. Close as I can figure, the year is thirteen hundred A.D. and I'm being dragged to my death. It wasn't always like this. I had a real life, once. A job.
Ash : [in flashback, dressed in an S-Mart uniform smock] Umm... Hardware, aisle twelve. Shop smart, shop S-Mart!
Ash : [voiceover] I had a wonderful girlfriend, Linda. Together we drove to a small cabin in the mountains. It seems an archeologist had come to this remote place to translate and study his latest find: Necronomicon ex Mortis, the Book of the Dead. Bound in human flesh and inked in blood, this ancient Sumerian text contained bizarre burial rights, funerary incantations, and demon resurrection passages. It was never meant for the world of the living. The book awoke something dark in the woods, something evil.
Linda : [Screaming as something crashes through the window of the cabin]
Ash : [voiceover] It took Linda, then it came after me. It got into my hand and it went bad, so I lopped it off at the wrist.
[Ash prepares to cut off his hand with a chainsaw, laughing dementedly, then screaming in pain]
Ash : [voiceover] But that didn't stop it, it came back big time.
Ash : [Clinging to the cabin doorway as a vortex conjured by the book pulls at him] For God's sake how do you stop it?
[the board he's holding breaks, and Ash falls into the vortex as the opening credits start]
-
Ash : It's a trick. Get an axe.
-
Ash : Now I swear, the next one of you primates even *touches* me...
-
Evil Ash : I got a bone to pick with you.
-
[as undead Ash stands triumphant on catapult]
Ash : Buckle up Bonehead. 'Cause you're goin' for a ride!
-
Ash : Alright. Who wants some?
-
Ash : [after reaching the location of the Necronomicon, and finding three identical books]
[scratches himself in the head]
Ash : Three books?... Wait a minute... Hold it... Nobody said anything about three books! Like, like what am I supposed to do, take... take one book, or all books, or... or what?
-
[Directors cut ending: a long-bearded Ash emerges from a cave where he's been asleep for 700 years. He looks overjoyed]
Ash : Ha ha. Manufactured parts. Ha...
[Look of joy turns to horror as he sees a world devastated by nuclear war]
Ash : No. No. Oh God I slept too long!
Ash : [as the credits start] Hahahahahahahahaha...
-
Evil Ash : You're pissing me off, you ugly son of a bitch!
-
[to his skeleton minions, who are digging up corpses in a graveyard]
Evil Ash : Dig, damn you! Dig faster! I shall command every worm-infested son-of-a-bitch that ever died in battle!
Skeleton : Thank you, sir!
-
Ash : [after being sucked into a blackhole in a fake copy of the Necronomicon and struggling back out] Whoa. Wrong book.
-
Ash : [to Arthur] You know your shoe lace is untied.
-
Ash : That's it, go ahead and run. Run home and cry to mama!
-
Ash : Say hello to the twenty-first century!
-
Ash : So what's the deal? Can you send me back or not?
Wiseman : Only the Necronomicon has the power. An unholy book which we also require. Within its pages are passages that can send you back to your time. Only you the promised one can quest for it.
Ash : I don't want your book, I don't want your bullshit. Just send me back to my own time, pronto, today. Chop chop!
-
Ash : I know you're scared; we're all scared, but that doesn't mean we're cowards. We can take these skeletons, we can take them, with science.
-
Ash : [after crushing skeletons with boulders] Oooh, that's *gotta* hurt!
-
Ash : Now whoa whoa whoa right there spinach chin!
-
Evil Ash : I'll spoil those good looks back stabber.
-
Evil Ash : Oh, you miserable bags of bones! Pick yourselves up and sally fo-, sally for-, sally forth.
-
Ash : Keep your damn filthy bones outta my mouth.
-
Ash : We can take these Deadites, we can take 'em! With science.
-
[as an evil Ash begins growing out of his shoulder]
Ash : Oh, dear God, it's growing bigger!
-
Evil Ash : [Admiring Sheila] Well aren't you the sweetest little thing?
-
Ash : YEEEEEEEEEEEAH, BABY!
-
Evil Ash : Backstabber!
-
[after being knocked out by the Mini-Ashes]
Ash : Oh, what a horrible nightmare. Wait a minute. I CAN'T MOVE!
[pull back to reveal Ash tied to the ground ala Gulliver from Gulliver's Travels]
