In the film, he has a longtime crush on Nancy Holbrook, the female protagonist. He is a high school blogger. Quentin is later called by Nancy and is told that Kris has died. The two meet at a library and proceed to study sleep deprivation. Nancy and Quentin find out that they went to the same preschool, Bradham Preschool after Nancy finds an old school photo hidden in her mother's office. Upon further research, they find that all the children from the preschool have died in some way or form, including their friends. It is due to this discovery that they also find out about Freddy Krueger, the man in their dreams.
Quentin believes that it will all blow over but then one day during training with his school swim team, he falls asleep and has a nightmare, seeing how Krueger is murdered. Seeing that it was the parents of the children from Bradham preschool, including his father and Nancy's mother, he charged angrily into his father's office. The two argue about Krueger's death and whether or not it was justified. Nancy and Quentin go to the pharmacy to get more pills so he can stay awake but the employee refuses to give him a refill.
Nancy has a couple of nightmares and is scratched by Krueger. Quentin takes Nancy to the hospital to have her wounds checked. While there Quentin steals adrenaline and decides to get Nancy out of the hospital. On the road, he asks Nancy out after they find Krueger.
They have a car wreck when Krueger shows up on the road, but from there they find their old preschool and discover the cave that Freddy took the children to. They soon find out that he took pictures of Nancy while she was being abused by Krueger. The two share a touching moment as they talk about their fears and they then kiss. Nancy then enters a terrifying nightmare to catch Freddy and bring him to the real world. As she struggles, Quentin tries desperately to wake her, shaking her and begging her, but failing. Finally, as the last hope, he takes the adrenaline shot and plunges it into Nancy's chest. This wakes her and she pulls Freddy out. Quentin tries to attack Freddy but is stabbed in the process and thrown against a wall. Freddy then attacks Nancy but she is saved by Quentin. Quentin is slashed again by Freddy and as he backs away in fear, Freddy raises his glove to strike. Before he can, Nancy cuts his hand off and then cuts his throat. She then uses a lamp to burn the place.
Afterward, Quentin is taken to an ambulance with Nancy next to his side.
Skills
- Improvised Weapon Proficiency: In the film, Quentin has skilled proficiency in using various objects as melee weapons such as when Freddy Krueger was brought into the real world by Nancy pulling him out of the dream world, he picks up the paper cutter blade to swing at his arm which hurt him and gets tossed against a glass mirror which shatters pieces of shards on the ground for him to stab him in the leg which bought his girlfriend enough time to use the blade to finish off the killer.
- Experienced Swimmer: Being on the school’s swim team, Smith is a great swimmer who did great laps and underwater diving exercises.
- Athletic Endurance: Due to his athleticism in swimming, Quentin also possesses resilience that allows his body to sustain activities for an extended period of time against harm as he manages to stay active even after reduced sleeping. With the adrenaline increasing his prowess, he gets his face bashed against metal pipes while even slashed in his chest in his nightmare before he wakes up and fights against Freddy with a paper cutter blade gets stabbed in the shoulder by his razor blade fingers, as well as being tossed to a glass mirror before stabbing a shard on his leg and then smacked in the chin by the entity’s strength which barely fazed him as he was still conscious.
- Quick-Thinker: In his time with Nancy, he was able to aid in figuring out ways how to survive against Krueger coming after them in their nightmares like researching (sleep deprivation, his ADD medication, and the repressed memories.) When running out of his pills, he falls asleep while awake to enter a vision where he and his friend’s entire families went after the killer’s hideout to burn him alive which turned him into the entity years later as revenge, and embarks going to refill his meds but fails as his girlfriend was attacked that she had to go to the hospital where he found adrenaline pens to steal as a substitute for their survival. Upon arriving at the preschool, the couple finds the cave of Krueger, to see photos of all the kids he molested and realizes that them telling their parents about it got him killed and out for vengeance before arming himself to protect them when Nancy brings him out to the real world, and it worked as both of them managed to fight back and burn down the place.
