The Rocky Horror Picture Show Page #4

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

Creature of the night.

Creature of the night

Creature of the night.

Creature of the night

Mercy!

How did it happen?

I understood you were to be watching.

I was only away for a minute, master.

Well, see if you can find him

on the monitor.

Master.

Master, we have a visitor.

Hey, Scotty!

Dr. Everett Scott.

You know this earthling--

--this person?

I most certainly do. He happens

to be an old friend of mine.

I see.

So this wasn't

simply a chance meeting.

You came here with a purpose.

I told you, my car broke down.

I was telling the truth.

I know what you told me, Brad.

But this Dr. Everett Scott,

his name is not unknown to me.

He was a science teacher

at Denton High.

And now he works for your government.

He's attached

to the Bureau of lnvestigation. . .

. . .of that which you call UFOs!

lsn't that right, Brad?

He might be. I don't know.

The intruder is entering

the building, master.

He'll probably be in the Zen Room.

Shall we inquire of him in person?

Great Scott!

Frank N. Furter.

We meet at last.

Dr. Scott!

Brad! What are you doing here?

Don't play games, Dr. Scott.

You know perfectly well

what Brad Majors is doing here.

It was part of your plan, was it not?

That he and his female

should check the layout for you?

Well, unfortunately for you all,

the plans are to be changed.

I hope you're adaptable, Dr. Scott.

I know Brad is.

I assure you, Brad's presence

comes as a complete surprise to me.

I came here to find Eddie.

-Eddie? I've seen him. He's--

-Eddie?

What do you know of Eddie?

I know a great deal

about a lot of things.

You see, Eddie happens to be

my nephew.

Dr. Scott.

-Janet!

-Dr. Scott!

-Janet!

-Brad!

Rocky!

-Janet!

-Dr. Scott!

-Janet!

-Brad!

Rocky!

Listen! I made you. . .

. . .and I can break you just as easily.

Master, dinner is prepared!

Excellent.

Under the circumstances,

formal dress is to be optional.

Food has always played a vital role

in life's rituals:

The breaking of bread,

the last meal of the condemned man. . .

. . .and now this meal.

However informal it might appear...

... you can be sure there was to be

very little bonhomie.

A toast.

To absent friends.

To absent friends.

And Rocky.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear Rocky

-Happy birthday--

-Shall we?

We came here to discuss Eddie.

Eddie!

It's a rather tender subject.

Another slice, anyone?

Excuse me.

I knew he was in with a bad crowd,

but it was worse than I imagined.

Aliens!

Dr. Scott!

Go on, Dr. Scott.

Or should I say Dr. Von Scott?

Just what exactly are you implying?

It's all right!

That's all right, Brad.

From the day he was born

He was trouble

He was the thorn

In his mother's side

She tried in vain

But he never caused her

Nothing but shame

He left home...

... the day she died

From the day she was gone

All he wanted

Was rock 'n ' roll porn

Und a motorbike

Shooting up junk

He was a low-down, cheap little punk

Taking everyone for a ride

When Eddie said

He didn 't like his teddy

You knew he was a no-good kid

But when he threatened your life

With a switchblade knife

-What a guy

-Makes you cry

Und I did

Everybody shoved him

I very nearly loved him

I said, hey, listen to me

Stay sane inside insanity

But he locked the door

And threw away the key

But he must've been drawn

Into something

Making him warn me

In a note which reads:

What's it say? What's it say?

"I'm out of my head

Oh, hurry, or I may be dead

They mustn 't carry out

Their evil deeds"

When Eddie said

He didn 't like his teddy

You knew he was a no-good kid

When he threatened your life

With a switchblade knife

-What a guy

-Makes you cry

Und I did

When Eddie said

He didn 't like his teddy

You knew he was a no-good kid

But when he threatened your life

With a switchblade knife

-What a guy

-Woe, woe, woe

-Makes you cry

-Hey, hey, hey

Und I did

Hey

Oh.

Oh, Rocky!

How could you?!

This way! This way!

Shut up!

I'll tell you once

I won 't tell you twice

You'd better wise up

Janet Weiss

Your apple pie

Don 't taste too nice

You'd better wise up

Janet Weiss

I've laid the seed

It should be all you need

You're as sensual as a pencil

Wound up like an E or first string

When we made it

Did ya hear a bell ring?

You got a block

Well, take my advice

You'd better wise up

Janet Weiss

The transducer

Will seduce ya

My feet! I can't move my feet!

My wheels!

My God, I can't move my wheels.

It's as if we were glued to the spot.

You are.

So quake with fear, you tiny fools.

We're trapped.

It's something you'll get used to

A mental mind f*** can be nice

No!

You won't find Earth people

the easy mark you imagine.

This sonic transducer. . .

. . .it is some kind of audio-vibratory,

physiomolecular transport device?

-You mean. . .?

-Yes, Brad.

It's something we ourselves

have been working on for a while.

But it seems our friend here has found

a means of perfecting it.

A device capable

of breaking down solid matter. . .

. . .and then projecting it

through space, and who knows. . .

. . .perhaps even time itself!

He's gonna send us to another planet?

Planet schmanet, Janet.

You'd better wise up

Janet Weiss

You'd better wise up

Build your thighs up

You'd better wise up

And then she cried out:

Stop!

Don 't get hot and flustered

Use a bit of mustard

You're a hot dog

But you'd better not...

... try to hurt her

Frank Furter

You're a hot dog

But you'd better not...

... try to hurt her

Frank Furter

You're a hot dog

My God! I can't stand

any more of this.

First, you spurn me for Eddie, then you

toss him like an old coat for Rocky.

You chew people up

and then you spit them out again.

I loved you.

Do you hear me? I loved you.

And what did it get me?

I'll tell you, a big nothing.

You're like a sponge. You drain

others of their love and emotion.

Well, I've had enough!

Choose between me and Rocky, so named

because of the rocks in his head.

It's not easy, having a good time.

Even smiling makes my face ache.

And my children turn on me.

Rocky's behaving just the way

that Eddie did.

Maybe I made a mistake. . .

. . .splitting his brain

between the two of them.

I grow weary of this world!

When shall we return to Transylvania?!

Magenta. . .

. . .I am indeed grateful to both you

and your brother, Riff Raff.

You have both served me well.

Loyalty such as yours

shall not go unrewarded.

You'll discover that when the mood

takes me, I can be quite generous.

I ask for nothing, master.

And you shall receive it in abundance!

Come. We are ready

for the floorshow.

And so, by some extraordinary

coincidence...

. . .fate, it seemed, had decided

that Brad and Janet. . .

. . .should keep that appointment

with their friend Dr. Everett Scott.

But it was to be in a situation. . .

. . .which none of them could have

possibly foreseen.

And just a few hours

after announcing their engagement. . .

. . .Brad and Janet had both tasted. . .
