The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning
Boss, I need a bathroom break!
Please.
Dear Lord, help me!
Get the hell out of here.
Well, that's what you get for
drinking on the job, Sloane.
Hey, Sloane, take it easy!
Sloane! Sloane! Damn it! Sloane!
You can do it!
Sloane. Sloane.
Uhh...
Dear God help us.
He's so beautiful.
That's the ugliest thing I ever saw.
You don't have to look pretty to
work down at the slaughterhouse.
What is that diseased
We closed for good now.
Uh, I think he likes it here, sir.
Ain't no reason for that
Jess, we need to get that oversized
retard the hell out of here.
We, sir?
Just you.
Hello, Hewitt.
We're shutting down the place today.
You know that 'cause I done told you.
Shutting down for good.
We ain't packing no more meat.
Ain't killing no more animals so...
You just leave the equipment.
You just get on home now, okay?
You gotta go, I said!
You gotta get the hell out
of here, you dumb animal!
What are you doing?
Shh! Keep your voice down.
This is how you sneak up on 'em,
Gooks in the swamp.
Eric, the only thing you're gonna
catch in this water is disease.
Chrissie, come on. No, I'm
not going in that water.
Consider it the last wish of a soldier.
Oh, no.
No, you've been getting last wishes
this whole past week, G.I. Joe.
And you call yourself a patriot.
You know what I think
is patriotic? What?
to go to Vietnam. Again.
You goin' all the way to Vietnam, baby?
No, honey, base camp's far
enough for me, trust me.
Just try to relax, baby,
'Cause today I'm going to use my tongue
In ways the Lord never intended.
How's that sound? Okay.
Mmm...
This may come as a shock
to you, but most men
Are into this kind of thing.
I'm sorry.
I'm just a little distracted, Bail.
I mean, I just keep thinking,
How does a person go back there?
You know, how do you do that?
It doesn't make him any more
heroic than you, baby, okay?
Yeah, but he thinks I'm
going with him, Bail.
Eric thinks I'm going
to Vietnam with him.
Well, he's your brother, he loves you.
You know, he'll get over it, okay?
Just close your eyes.
Let me see your hand.
You're gonna love this.
Can I look?
Yeah.
Eric, you got that
from a Cracker Jack box!
Wha... I... I had to eat 17
batches to find the one I wanted.
How many?
Two. Okay, girls or boys?
One of each.
And what are their names?
Bonnie and Clyde. No.
Come on. Bobby and Janis.
And where are us and
the kids gonna live?
California. Right by the water.
Don't leave me.
I ain't never gonna
leave you, beautiful.
I'll give you everything you want, baby.
Starting with this.
This is what you're gonna tell him...
You're going to walk right up to Eric,
And you're gonna tell him
that you're going to Mexico
And you're not gonna join
him in this stupid war,
No matter what some draft card says.
Okay?
Get your bony ass ready,
soldier! Moving out at 1700 hours.
What's 1700 hours?
You better be getting some, Dean.
What the hell are you still doing here?
Go home. We're out of business.
You and your family are
the only ones stupid enough
To still be living in this town.
Your kind belong in this shithole.
Operator.
May I help you?
You're gonna have to
speak more clearly, ma'am.
I don't understand. You're
gonna have to speak more clearly.
I'm your friend, Hewitt.
Come on, y'all. Look alive now.
Take one last look at
that motel over there
'Cause this here's your
lodging for the next two days.
What, are you gonna put
mints on our pillows too?
I'll tuck you in special every night.
We're going on a road trip!
So what are you gonna miss the most?
Hmm? When you're gone,
What are you gonna miss the most?
Fishing for compliments here?
No, never.
She is fishing. I am not.
Come on, tell me.
Besides you?
Nothing.
I mean, family and all, sure,
But Dean's gonna be right there with me.
Right, Deano? Hoo-Ha.
Thomas in there? No, he ain't here.
We got a... we got a
situation on our hands here.
I just came back from
the slaughterhouse.
That 'tarded nephew
Now I'm gonna have to apprehend him.
I thought you might
want to accompany me,
Help finesse the situation, as it were.
Anyway, staying around this town,
There's no more jobs, no more money,
No more food. It's downright suicidal.
And I'm the last bit of
law enforcement that's left.
Hell, I'm moving to Michigan next week.
I often ask myself, "What
makes a man a killer?"
I don't mind saying: You
raised that retard right,
Me and you, we ain't
You can't have a creature
That's what I'm saying. He ain't
retarded. He's misunderstood.
Oh, sh*t, there he is! Jesus Christ.
You stay put.
I'll let you know when I need you.
Put down the weapon, boy!
I seen what you did back there, Hewitt.
This doesn't have to be
difficult unless'n you make it so.
Just put the weapon down.
Don't be stupid.
I think we've got a problem, Sheriff.
Sh*t, I just killed the whole
f***ing sheriff's department.
Damn, I wondered what that felt like.
You really think you're something
in that outfit, don't you?
Here's your pants.
Supper's on the table.
Ladies love a man in uniform.
That slaughterhouse meant more to this
town than them fools will ever know.
Just a matter of time now
Before this town's overrun
by bikers and hippies.
We will never abandon
the place of our birth.
We're on our own now, people.
And alone
We will rise above it all.
People may not remember
what we say here tonight,
But they sure as sh*t
gonna remember what we do.
Thanks to the good sheriff here,
We ain't gonna go hungry tonight.
Matter of fact,
We ain't never gonna starve again.
Mm-Mm-Mm.
Charlie, say grace.
Mama, I told you Charlie's dead.
It's Hoyt now, Sheriff Hoyt.
Oh baby, look! Come on,
can we stop at that store?
It's just like the one
in California. Please?
Yeah yeah.
Come on, Bail, you'll love this.
These places have tons of character.
Y'all have some beautiful
things in here, ma'am.
Okay...
It'll take you a little while
to get used to things in 'Nam.
The people,
The smells, but...
But what?
You'd be amazed at the
things you can get used to.
Um, is everything
okay with you and Dean?
Uh, what do you mean?
Bailey, come on. You guys have been
exchanging odd glances this whole trip.
Oh...
Excuse me, ma'am, can you tell
me where the bathroom is, please?
Through the back.
Come on, Bailey.
Look, we've been through a lot together.
Whatever it is, you can tell me.
Me and Dean are going to Mexico.
He's not gonna go with Eric.
And uh, he's not going to Vietnam.
Chrissie...
What do you have to say? I say, go.
Get the hell away from this war,
okay? Just cling to what you got.
Then why are you letting Eric go back?
It's just in him. What's in him?
The war. What do you mean?
