The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Page #4

- I've been out on the road.

You damn fool,

you almost got caught over at Duke's.

No, no, they didn't see me.

They don't know nothing.

I told you to stay away from that graveyard!

I told you and I told you,

I told you never to leave your brother alone,

you...

Get in there and get that girl out of the car.

Come on, get her out of the car.

Get her out of there.

Hopefully your brother

didn't let any of those kids get away.

Get her in there.

We'll have the whole county out here.

Don't you got any self-respect?

Look what your brother did to the door!

He's got no pride in his home?

Get her in there.

You've been a fool, you!

You better get them other kids.

Where are they, huh?

You're a damn fool, you.

Oh!

I thought you was in a hurry.

Where are the kids?

Where are they? Show me!

- None of 'em get away?

- Uh-uh-uh.

- Are you sure?

- Uh-huh.

You...

You damn fool! You ruined the door!

Hey, you did good. She's a nice girl.

You nitwit, get upstairs

and get your grandpa.

Now, now, young lady,

you just take it easy there now.

Look, we'll fix you some supper

in a few minutes. Huh?

Get back in there!

Get in there!

Now, you just take it easy.

Take it easy.

We'll have you something to eat

right away.

Hey.

Hey, Leatherface.

Give me a hand with Grandpa.

Careful.

Look, Grandpa, look, look.

Here, here!

Shut up!

Quiet!

You act like a pack of hounds.

We were just having fun.

You think this is a party?

Please.

You can make them stop.

No, he can't.

Shut your mouths.

Can't be helped, young lady.

- Oh, please, you can't let them kill me.

- Shut up.

Don't pay him no mind.

You like this face?

You're crazy!

You've got to make them stop!

Please!

He's nothing. He's just the cook.

Shut up, you b*tch hog.

Me and Leatherface do all the work.

He don't like it.

Ain't that right?

You're just the cook!

Shut your mouth!

You don't understand nothing.

I understand you ain't nothing.

Me and him do all the work!

I just can't take no pleasure in killing.

Well, there's just some things you got

to do. Don't mean you have to like it.

Oh, please. Please.

What do you want?

I'll do anything. Anything.

I'll do... I'll do anything you want.

Don't need to torture the poor girl.

You just shut up! Remember you're just

the cook, and me and him will handle this.

Then get on with it.

I won't have this.

We ain't in no hurry

because you ain't going no place.

No.

You hear me?

It might hurt you, but it don't mean much.

No sense in waiting.

I got to open up the room.

I been... I been thinking about

letting Grandpa have some fun.

You always said he's the best.

He's the best, all right.

Let's let him have a whack. Hey, Grandpa,

we going to let you have this one.

Just let him have a whack.

Now, you just hush.

It won't hurt none.

Why, old Grandpa is the best killer

there ever was.

Why, it never took more than one lick,

they say.

Why, he did 60 in five minutes once.

They say he could've done more

if the hook and pull gang

could've gotten the beeves

out of the way faster.

Now, now, don't you cry none.

Old Grandpa's the best.

It won't hurt a bit.

No! No!

No! No!

No! Oh, please don't!

Please! Please! Please don't!

No, no! No!

No!

Hit her, Grandpa!

Hit her, Grandpa!

Hit her! Come on, Grandpa.

Hit her!

Hit that b*tch.

Hit her, Grandpa!

Come on!

Come on, Grandpa, hit that b*tch.

Careful there. Come on, Grandpa.

Get her Grandpa, get her.

Go ahead, go ahead! Get her!

Come on.

- Give me the hammer. I'll get her.

- Get her, get her, Grandpa.

- Give me that hammer.

- Hit her, hit her, Grandpa.

- I'll kill her. Let me get her.

- Hit the b*tch.

Help!

Help!

Go!
