Later on, Gale and Dewey have a brief emotional moment, only to realize that Ghostface is in fact in the same building.

However, once again, Dewey survives the ordeal.Scream 3Edit Dewey in Scream 3.Dewey is still a police officer in this one, seemingly on leave to act as a "technical advisor" on the set of the film Stab 3. After a new killer has surfaced, Dewey aids in the investigation.By this point things are still a little bit tense towards Gale and Dewey, and it appears that there are feelings between him and the actress portraying Gale, Jennifer Jolie.

He, Gale, and Deputy Judy Hicks help Sidney defeat Jill Roberts, the latest incarnation of Ghostface.QuotesEdit"How do you know my dimwitted inexperience isn't merely a subtle form of manipulation, used to lower people's expectations, thereby enhancing my ability to affectively maneuver within any given situation?""I'll smile when I catch the killer.""Surprise, surprise. Someone dies and Gale comes running.""One generation's tragedy is the next one's joke.""Don't you think that's what the killer would say?""If I may say so, Miss Weathers, you are much prettier in person.""I'm 25. I was 24 for a whole year.""(Screams) Sorry, I found this! (Calls for backup) Come on!"Behind the ScenesEdit Behind the Scenes Dewey (David Arquette) and Gale (Courtney Cox) in ScreamHe was described "a big guy, 20's, handsome in a scrubbed-clean boyish way" in the Scream script.As revealed on the Directors in 2007, David Arquette claimed that he presumptuously turned down the role of Billy Loomis for the role of Dewey.David Schwimmer played "Dewey Riley" in Stab. This is a obvious reference to the fact that Courteney Cox, whom plays Dewey's on-screen wife, Gale Riley, plays the sister of David Schwimmer's character on the show Friends.David Arquette's character was originally written to die at the end of Scream. However, feedback from test screenings suggested that the audience would rather see Dewey alive at the end of the film instead of dead. This caused an additional scene showing Dewey being taken into an ambulance on a gurney, clearly alive, to be filmed and added to the end of the film.In 1999, David starred alongside fellow Scream co-star Drew Barrymore in "Never Been Kissed", which also starred future Scream 4 co-star, Marley Shelton.

During the film, Dewey develops feelings for Gale Weathers. During the film's climax, he is stabbed in the back by the killer, though he survives. Dewey was originally supposed to die after being stabbed in the back by Ghostface, but Wes Craven liked the character so much that he decided to film a shot of Dewey being carried into an ambulance in case audiences liked the character also. Sure enough, Dewey was a hit with audiences, primarily due to how cool he thought he was, and Wes Craven decided to use the ending where Dewey lives. If you look closely, you can see that whenever Dewey is lying unconsious, he isn't breathing, because he was supposed to be lying dead.
