The Rocky Horror Picture Show Page #2

Synopsis: While driving home during a rain filled night, straight-laced lovebirds Brad Majors and Janet Weiss end up by chance at the castle of one Dr. Frank-N-Furter and his strange and bizarre entourage, and find that he's having a party. This is no ordinary party, no ordinary night. This is the unveiling of the doctor's latest creation: Rocky Horror, a man-made Adonis that will give absolute pleasure. Over the course of the night, Frank seduces both Brad and Janet, Janet and Rocky become biblically involved, and Dr. Everett Von Scott arrives looking for his nephew Eddie (whom Frank killed earlier in this film). This is an exceedingly grand visual and musical camp satire of the golden days of the B-movie horror and science-fiction genres. Projected along with a musical soundtrack to give audience participation a new meaning in dimension, time and space, this shall be a night that both Brad and Janet will remember for a very long time in the sexually kinky, rock 'n roll, rock-opera world of a g

The blackness would hit me

And the void would be calling

Let's do the time warp again

Let's do the time warp again

It's just a jump to the left

-And a step to the right

-With your hands on your hips

You bring your knees in tight

But it's the pelvic thrust

That really drives you insane

Let's do the time warp again

Let's do the time warp again

It's so dreamy

Oh, fantasy free me

So you can 't see me

No, not at all

In another dimension

With voyeuristic intention

Well secluded

I see all

With a bit of a mind flip

You're into the time slip

And nothing can ever be the same

You're spaced out on sensation

Like you're under sedation

Let's do the time warp again

Let's do the time warp again

I was walking down the street

Just having a think

When a snake of a guy

Gave me an evil wink

He shook a me up

He took me by surprise

He had a pickup truck

And the devil's eyes

He stared at me

And I felt a change

Time meant nothing

Never would again

Let's do the time warp again

Let's do the time warp again

It's just a jump to the left

-And then a step to the right

-With your hands on your hips

You bring your knees in tight

But it's the pelvic thrust

That really drives you insane

Let's do the time warp again

Let's do the time warp again

Let's do the time warp again

Let's do the time warp again

It's just a jump to the left

-And then a step to the right

-With your hands on your hips

Bring your knees in tight

But it's the pelvic thrust

That really drives you insane

Let's do the time warp again

Let's do the time warp again

Say something.

Say! Do any of you guys know

how to Madison?

-Brad, please, let's get out of here.

-Keep a grip on yourself, Janet.

-But it seems so unhealthy here.

-It's just a party, Janet.

-Well, I want to go.

-We can't till I get to a phone.

-Then ask the butler or someone.

-Just a moment.

We don't want to interfere

with their celebrations.

This isn't the Chamber of Commerce.

They're probably foreigners

with different ways.

They may do some more folk dancing.

I'm cold, I'm wet and

I'm just plain scared.

I'm here, there's nothing

to worry about.

How do you do

I see you've met

My faithful handyman

He's just a little brought down

Because when you knocked

He thought you were the candyman

Don 't get strung out

By the way I look

Don 'tjudge a book by its cover

I'm not much of a man

By the light of day

But by night I'm one hell of a lover

I'm just a sweet transvestite

From Transsexual...

... Transylvania

Let me show you around

Maybe play you a sound

You look like you're both

Pretty groovy

Or if you want something visual

That's not too abysmal

We could take in an old

Steve Reeves movie

I'm glad we caught you at home

Could we use your phone?

-We're both in a bit of a hurry

-Right

We'll just say where we are

-Then go back to the car

-A pleasure to meet you, Dr. Furter

We don 't want to be any worry

Well, you got caught with a flat

Well, how about that

Well, babies, don 't you panic

By the light of the night

It'll all seem all right

I'll get you a satanic mechanic

I'm just a sweet transvestite

From Transsexual...

... Transylvania

Why don 't you stay for the night

-Night

-Or maybe a bite

Bite

I could show you

My favorite obsession

I've been making a man

With blond hair and a tan

And he's good for relieving

My tension

I'm just a sweet transvestite

From Transsexual...

... Transylvania

Hit it! Hit it!

-I'm just a sweet transvestite

-Sweet transvestite

From Transsexual...

... Transylvania

So come up to the lab

And see what's on the slab

I see you shiver

With antici--

-pation

But maybe the rain

Is really to blame

So I'll remove the cause

But not the symptom

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Brad!

We'll play along for now and pull out

the aces when the time is right.

Slowly, slowly.

It's too nice a job to rush.

Hi. My name's Brad Majors and

this is my fiance, Janet Weiss.

You are. . .?

You are very lucky to be invited

up to Frank's laboratory.

Some people would give their

right arm for the privilege.

People like you, maybe?

I've seen it.

Come along. The master doesn't

like to be kept waiting.

Shift it!

Is he--? Frank, I mean,

is he your husband?

The master is not yet married.

Nor do I think he ever will be.

-We are simply his servants.

-Oh.

Magenta.

Columbia.

Go and assist Riff Raff.

I will entertain. . . .

Brad Majors and this is

my fiance, Janet Vice.

-Weiss.

-Weiss?

Enchant.

Well, how nice.

And what charming underclothes

you both have.

But here, put these on.

They'll make you feel less vulnerable.

It's not often

we receive visitors here.

Let alone offer them hospitality.

Hospitality! All we wanted to do

was use your telephone. Goddamn it!

A reasonable request you have ignored!

-Don't be ungrateful.

-Ungrateful?!

How forceful you are, Brad.

Such a perfect specimen of manhood.

So dominant.

You must be awfully proud

of him, Janet.

Well, yes, I am.

-Do you have any tattoos, Brad?

-Certainly not.

Oh, well. How about you?

Everything is in readiness, master.

We merely await your word.

Tonight, my unconventional

conventionists. . .

. . .you are to witness

a new breakthrough. . .

. . .in biochemical research.

And paradise is to be mine!

It was strange the way it happened.

Suddenly. . .

. . .you get a break.

All the pieces seem to fit into place.

What a sucker you've been.

What a fool.

The answer was there all the time.

It took a small accident

to make it happen.

-An accident!

-An accident!

That's how I discovered the secret.

That elusive ingredient.

That spark. . .

. . .that is the breath of life.

Yes.

I have that knowledge.

I hold the secret. . .

. . .to life itself!

You see. . .

. . .you are fortunate.

For tonight is the night. . .

. . .that my beautiful creature

is destined to be born.

Throw open the switches

on the sonic oscillator.

And step up the reactor power input. . .

. . .three more points!

Oh, Brad!

It's all right, Janet.

Oh, Rocky!

The sword of Damocles

ls hanging over my head

I've got the feeling someone's

Gonna be cutting the thread

Oh, woe is me

My life is a misery

Oh, can 't you see

That I'm at the start

Of a pretty big downer

I woke up this morning with a start

When I fell out of bed

That ain 't no crime

And left from my dreaming

Was a feeling of unnameable dread

That ain 't no crime

My high is low

I'm dressed up with no place to go

And all I know

Is I'm at the start

Of a pretty big downer

-That ain 't no crime.

-Oh, no, no, no.

-That ain 't no crime.

-Oh, no, no, no.

Oh, my baby!

The sword of Damocles

ls hanging over my head

That ain 't no crime

I've got the feeling someone's

Gonna be cutting the thread

That ain 't no crime

Oh, woe is me

My life is a mystery

And can 't you see

That I'm at the start

Of a pretty big downer

-That ain 't no crime.

-Oh, no, no, no.

That ain 't no crime

Well, really!

That's no way to behave
