But if the punctuation of the sentence is different from the quote the punctuation goes after the quotation marks.

Did she move towards him and say "Don't do that again"?
What if the bit in the quotes clearly needs a different puntuation than the sentence as a whole?

e.g.

Did she just scream, "Oh no!"?

Can you have the two bits of punctuation as above?
