The Rocky Horror Picture Show Page #3

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

on your first day out.

But since you're such

an exceptional beauty. . .

. . .I'm prepared to forgive you.

Oh, I just love success!

-He is a credit to your genius.

-Yes.

-A triumph of your will.

-Yes.

He's okay.

Okay?

Okay?!

I think we can do better than that.

Now, Brad and Janet. . .

. . .what do you think of him?

Well. . . .

I don't like men

with too many muscles.

I didn't make him for you!

He carries the Charles Atlas

seal of approval.

A weakling weighing 98 pounds

Will get sand in his face

When kicked to the ground

And soon in the gym

With a determined chin

The sweat from his pores

As he works for his cause

Will make him glisten

And gleam

And with massage

Andjust a little bit of steam

He'll be pink

And quite clean

He'll be a strong man

Oh, honey

But the wrong man

He'll eat nutritious high protein

And swallow raw eggs

Try to build up his shoulders

His chest, arms and legs

Such an effort

lf he only knew of my plan

In just seven days

I can make you a man

He'll do press-ups and chin-ups

Do the snatch, clean andjerk

He thinks dynamic tension

Must be hard work

Such strenuous living

Ijust don 't understand

When in just seven days

Oh, baby

I can make you a man

Eddie!

Whatever happened to Saturday night

When you dressed sharp, felt all right

Don 't seem the same since cosmic light

Came into my life

I thought I was divine

I'd go for a ride with chicks who 'd go

And listen to the music on the radio

A saxophone was blowing

On a rock 'n ' roll show

We climbed in the back seat

We really had a good time

Hot patootie, bless my soul

I really love that rock 'n ' roll

Hot patootie, bless my soul

I really love that rock 'n ' roll

Lovely party!

My head used to swim

From the perfume I smelled

My hands kind of fumbled

With her white plastic belt

I'd taste her baby pink lipstick

And that's when I'd melt

She'd whisper in my ear

Tonight she really was mine

Get in front and put some hair oil on

Buddy Holly was singing his last song

With your arms around your girl

You tried to sing along

It felt pretty good

Really had a good time

Hot patootie, bless my soul

I really love that rock 'n ' roll

Hot patootie, bless my soul

I really love that rock 'n ' roll

One from the vaults.

Oh, baby!

Don't be upset.

It was a mercy killing.

He had a certain naive charm. . .

. . .but no muscle.

But a deltoid

And a bicep

A hot groin

And a tricep

Makes me...

...shake

Makes me want to take Charles Atlas

By the hand

In just seven days

Oh, baby

I can make you a man

I don 't want no dissension

Just dynamic tension

I'm a muscle fan

In just seven days

I can make you a man

Dig it if you can

In just seven days

I can make you a man

Rocky, Rocky, rah, rah, rah!

Rocky, Rocky, rah, rah, rah!

There are those who say

that life is an illusion. . .

. . .and that reality is simply

a figment of the imagination.

If this is so, then Brad and Janet

are quite safe.

However, the sudden departure

of their host. . .

. . .and his creation. . .

. . .into the seclusion

of his somber bridal suite. . .

. . .had left them feeling

both apprehensive and uneasy.

A feeling which grew

as the other guests departed. . .

. . .and they were shown

to their separate rooms.

Who is it? Who's there?

It's only me, Janet.

Brad, darling, come in.

Oh, Brad!

Yes, my darling! But what if--?

Everything's going to be all right.

Oh, I hope so, my darling.

-It's you!

-I'm afraid so. But isn't it nice?

You beast, you monster!

What have you done with Brad?

Well, nothing.

Why, do you think I should?

You tricked me! I wouldn't have.

I've never, never. . . .

Yes. Yes, I know.

But it isn't all bad, is it?

I think you'll really find it

quite pleasurable.

-So soft, so sensual.

-Stop! I mean, help!

Brad. Oh, Brad!

Brad's probably asleep by now.

Do you want him to see you like this?

Like this, like how? It's your fault!

You're to blame!

I was saving myself.

Well, I'm sure you're not spent yet.

Promise you won't tell Brad?

Cross my heart and hope to die.

Oh, Brad, darling, it's no good here!

It'll destroy us.

Don't worry. We'll be away from here

in the morning.

Oh, Brad, you're so strong

and protective.

You!

I'm afraid so, Brad.

But isn't it nice?

Why you--

What have you done with Janet?

Nothing. Why, do you think I should?

You tricked me. I wouldn't have.

I've never, never, never!

Yes, I know.

But it isn't all bad, is it?

Not even half bad.

I think you'll really quite enjoy it.

-So soft. So sensual.

-No, stop.

Oh, Janet.

Janet!

Janet's probably asleep by now.

Do you want her to see you like this?

Like this, like how? It's your fault!

You're to blame.

I thought it was the real thing!

Oh, come on, Brad, admit it.

You liked it, didn't you?

There's no crime in giving yourself

over to pleasure.

Oh, Brad, you have wasted

so much time already.

Janet needn't know. I won't tell her.

You promise you won't tell?

On my mother's grave.

Master, Rocky has broken his chains

and vanished.

The new playmate is loose

and somewhere in the castle grounds.

Magenta has just released the dogs.

Coming!

What's happening here? Where's Brad?

Where's anybody?

Oh, Brad!

Brad, my darling, how could I

have done this to you?

Oh, lf only we hadn't

made this journey.

If only the car hadn't broken down.

If only we were amongst friends

or sane persons.

Oh, Brad.

What have they done with him?

Brad, how could you?

But you're hurt.

Did they do this to you?

Here. I'll dress your wounds.

Baby, there. Oh.

"Emotion:
agitation or disturbance

of mind...

. . .vehement or excited mental state. "

It is also a powerful

and irrational master.

And from what Magenta and Columbia

eagerly viewed on their TV monitor. . .

... there seemed little doubt

that Janet was indeed...

...its slave.

Tell us about it, Janet.

I was feeling done in

Couldn 't win

I'd only ever kissed before

You mean she--?

I thought there's no use getting

Into heavy petting

It only leads to trouble

And seat wetting

Now all I want to know

Is how to go

I've tasted blood and I want more

More, more, more.

I'll put up no resistance

I want to stay the distance

I've got an itch to scratch

I need assistance

Touch-a, touch-a, touch-a, touch me

I wanna be dirty

Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me

Creature of the night

Then if anything grows

While you pose

I'll oil you up and rub you down

Down, down, down.

And that's just one small fraction

Of the main attraction

You need a friendly hand

Oh, and I need action

Touch-a, touch-a, touch-a, touch me

I wanna be dirty

Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me

Creature of the night

Touch-a, touch-a, touch-a, touch me

I wanna be dirty

Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me

Creature of the night

Touch-a, touch-a, touch-a, touch me

I wanna be dirty

Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me

Creature of the night

Creature of the night.

Creature of the night?

Creature of the night.

Creature of the night.
