The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning Page #2

Synopsis: In August, 1939, a worker goes into labor while working in a slaughterhouse and dies after a complicated labor, though the deformed child survives. The possibly orphaned baby is dumped in a garbage container and found by a beggar later, who brings him home. Along the years, the mentally retarded and disturbed boy called Thomas is raised by the Hewitt family in spite of having psychological problems as well as suffering from an unnamed skin disorder, later working in a meat packing plant. In July, 1969, when the facility is closed, the inhabitants move to other places, but the deformed, mentally childlike Thomas flies into a rage after being insulted and kills the foreman. His deranged brother (considered his uncle due to their age difference) executes the sheriff that is going to arrest Thomas, and assumes his identity, wearing his clothes,driving his car though the roads in Texas and entitling himself as Sheriff Hoyt.

Just a matter of time now

Before this town's overrun

by bikers and hippies.

Us, we're staying right here.

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?

Look, you do something long enough,

eventually you start to like it.

Hah!

B*tch. Scared the titties right off her.

God damn it.

Broke my mirror.

You think the girls

are gonna be all right

Driving back alone

after they drop us off?

Oh, I'm not worried about them, Dean.

Are you sure you got nothing to tell me?

Can we go?

You all right?

Yeah... let's just go.

You didn't even buy anything, baby.

Yeah, it was... it was nothing

like the one in California.

I guess we'll just have to

go back to that one then.

What are you doing, man?

What the hell are you

doing? I'm not going, Eric.

What do you mean, you're not going?

I'm not going, Eric!

You think I don't

hear you at night, man,

In your sleep, wailing from

what you've done over there?

Now, how could you want that for me?

I'm glad Dad's not here to see this.

What, his son the coward?

Well, guess what,

Eric, I am not like you!

All right?

I am not ready for this

sh*t! I have no problem

With the Vietcong over

in Vietnam or whatever...

What the hell do you think

I'm going back for, huh?
