When Friday the 13th slashed its way into theaters on February 13, 2009, audiences came for the kills and stayed for… well, the killer chemistry. Among the film’s most talked-about moments was the now-legendary sex scene between Julianna Guill’s character Bree and Travis Van Winkle’s preppy antagonist Trent. Fifteen years later, the scene remains a cultural touchstone—not just for its graphic nature, but for the bizarre dialogue that accompanied it .
The Scene That Launched a Thousand Memes
In the Platinum Dunes remake directed by Marcus Nispel, Guill’s Bree arrives at Trent’s parents’ Crystal Lake summer home for what promises to be a weekend of partying and debauchery. After some flirtatious drinking games, the couple retreats to the bedroom—unaware that Jason Voorhees is watching through the window .
What followed was a scene that the MPAA rated R for good reason. According to IMDb’s parental guide, Bree “lies beside Trent, wrapping her arm around his naked torso; as she turns on her side, her bare breast is visible in profile, with continued exposure of her chest throughout this simulated sexual scene” . The scene included Bree on top of Trent, fully nude from the waist up, while filming the encounter on a camcorder—a detail that proved fatal when the couple ignored warnings about an intruder .
“Your Tits Are Stupendous”
But it wasn’t just the nudity that made the scene unforgettable. Trent’s pillow talk has achieved immortality for all the wrong reasons.
“You’re tits are stupendous,” Trent declares, to which Bree deadpans, “Wow, you really know how to make a girl feel special.” Later, as things heat up, Bree pants, “Oh my god, baby… I’m close!” Trent’s response? “Yeah? Eight more seconds, then I’m gone!”
The dialogue became so notorious that one blogger wrote, “Travis Van Winkle’s character, Trent, totally ruins this scene with his ridiculous dialogue… That might be the worst line in a horror movie, ever” . Another critic noted that despite the cringe-worthy lines, “there’s tons of nudity and sex (Julianna Guill gets a large opportunity to show off her well…largeness)” .
The 12-Hour Shoot
What audiences didn’t see was the grueling effort behind the scene. According to behind-the-scenes reports, the sex scene took 10 to 12 hours to shoot . Guill, then a 21-year-old actress early in her career, was understandably anxious about the nudity required. However, after a conversation with her male co-star, she reportedly felt more relaxed and didn’t mind filming additional footage .
The scene’s most famous line—”Wow, you really know how to make a girl feel special”—was so memorable that Guill herself repeated it years later in the documentary Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th .
Critical Reception: The Good, The Bad, and The Juicy
The scene divided critics and audiences alike. While Dread Central included Guill in their list of “Horror’s 13 Most Sinful Seductresses,” praising her as “extremely confident” and noting “when you’ve got melons like this, the confidence really can’t be considered conceit,” others focused on the dialogue .
“Your tits are so juicy, dude!” remains one of the most mocked lines in modern horror history . Yet the scene served its purpose: it established Trent as a shallow, insufferable character whose comeuppance at Jason’s hands felt almost justified.
Where Is Julianna Guill Now?
Far from being defined by her most exposed role, Guill has built an impressive, diverse career. The Winston-Salem, North Carolina native and NYU attendee has appeared in everything from Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011) to the web series My Alibi with Alison Brie .
She landed a main role on TBS’s Glory Daze (2010–2011), had a recurring part on Bravo’s Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce (2014–2017), and spent five years as Jessie Nevin on Fox’s medical drama The Resident . Currently, she stars as Marybeth Pickett on the Paramount+ neo-western crime series Joe Pickett .
On a personal level, Guill married producer and writer Ben McMillan in 2015 on Martha’s Vineyard. The couple has two children .
The Legacy
For Guill, the Friday the 13th scene represents a moment in time—a young actress taking a chance in a major studio horror production that could have gone either way. While she rarely discusses the scene in interviews, fans continue to debate it on forums. Some speculate she’s “mortified/guarded/regretful,” while others note that her willingness to repeat her famous line in the Crystal Lake Memories documentary suggests a certain acceptance of her place in horror history .
One forum poster theorized: “Julianna was (and still is) a classy gal. Classy actresses (who are relatively comfortable with their body and not super religious) will ‘go to the extreme’ depending on the project and/or where they’re at in their career. A big horror property produced by Michael Bay’s company was a major get for Julianna” .
Whatever her personal feelings, one thing is certain: when horror fans discuss the most memorable—and quotable—scenes of the 2000s, Bree and Trent’s ill-fated hookup remains a permanent part of the conversation. Stupendous, indeed.
