The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
Franklin:
If I have any more fun today I don't think I can take it!
Franklin: They just shoot a bolt in their head, and then retract it. It's just BOOM-shht-BOOM-shht.
Sally: Franklin, I like meat, please change the subject!
Franklin: I think we just picked up Dracula.
Old Man: I just can't take no pleasure in killing. There's just some things you gotta do. Don't mean you have to like it.
Old Man: Those girls... those girls don't wanna go messin' round no old house!
[last lines]
Sally: Go! Go!
Franklin: Hey man, you ever go in that slaughter room or whatever they call it? The place where they shoot cattle in the head with that big air gun?
Hitchhiker: Oh, that gun's no good.
Franklin: I was in there once with my uncle.
Hitchhiker: The old way, with a sledge! You see that way's better. They die better that way.
Franklin: Well how come? I thought the gun was better?
Hitchhiker: Oh no, with the new way, people put out of jobs.
Franklin: Did you do that?
Hitchhiker: [digs through pouch for a few pictures] Look!
[Hands them to Franklin]
Hitchhiker: I was the killer!
Franklin: [looking at the pictures] Damn...
Old Man: Look what your brother did to the door! Ain't got no, no pride in his home!
Old Man: You damn fool you ruined the door!
Hitchhiker: [to Sally] And, and I thought YOU was in a hurry!
Hitchhiker: My family's always been in meat.
Jerry: That's the last goddamn hitchhiker I ever pick up.
Jerry: Come on guys, quit goofing on me.
[first lines]
Narrator: The film which you are about to see is an account of the tragedy which befell a group of five youths, in particular Sally Hardesty and her invalid brother, Franklin. It is all the more tragic in that they were young. But, had they lived very, very long lives, they could not have expected nor would they have wished to see as much of the mad and macabre as they were to see that day. For them an idyllic summer afternoon drive became a nightmare. The events of that day were to lead to the discovery of one of the most bizarre crimes in the annals of American history, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
Hitchhiker: You could have dinner with us...
Old Man: Shut up you bitch hog!
Hitchhiker: You just shut up and remember you're just the cook! And me and him'll handle this!
Old Man: Shut your mouth!
Old Man: look... I got some good barbecue here!
Old Man: There's no need to do that!
Old Man: Just take it easy now.
Radio news reader: Graverobbing in Texas is this hour's top news story. An informant led officers of the Muerto County Sheriff's Department to a cemetery just outside the small rural Texas community of Newt early this morning. Officers there discovered what appeared to be a grisly work of art: the remains of a badly decomposed corpse wired to a large monument. A second body was found in a ditch near the perimeter of the cemetery. Subsequent investigation has revealed at least a dozen empty crypts, and it's feared more will turn up as the probe continues. Deputies report that in some instances only parts of a corpse have been removed, the head or in some cases the extremities removed, the remainder of the corpse left intact. Evidence indicates the robberies have occurred over a period of time. Sheriff Jesus Maldonado refused to give details in the ghoulish case, and said only that he did have evidence linking the crime to elements outside the state. Area residents have reportedly been converging on the cemetery, fearing the remains of relatives have been removed. No suspects are in custody as the investigation at the scene continues.
