The killers are revealed and they are Billy and Stu. They also tell Sidney that they killed her mother a year ago. Then Sidney throws the T.V on Stu's head and then shoots Billy in the head. Dewey is stabbed but survives, Randy is shot but survives. Dewey, Sidney, Randy and Gale Weathers are the only main characters who survive.
Principal Himbry: Damn little shits!
Janitor: What'd you call me?
Principal Himbry: Not you, Fred.
Trivia: The murder of Principal Himbry was added after producer Bob Weinstein noticed there were about thirty pages in the script (which roughly translates to thirty minutes of screen time) in which nobody died. The scene also resolved the climax at Stu's party, as it gave all the guests a reason to leave.
