The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Page #2

Synopsis: Driving through the backwoods of Texas, five youths pick up a traumatized hitchhiker, who shoots herself in their van. Shaken by the suicide, the group seeks help from the locals, but their situation becomes even more surreal when they knock on the door of a remote homestead. It's quickly apparent the residents are a family of inbred psychopaths, and the unlucky youths suddenly find themselves running for their lives. In hot pursuit is a disfigured, chainsaw-wielding cannibal known as Leatherface.

ERIN:

Baby, let's find a hospital, OK?

KEMPER:

You know what? Give me the vaguest idea where there is one, and we'll go there.

PEPPER:

Um... who's dead?

MORGAN:

Kemper, didn't your mother ever tell you not to pick up hitchhikers?

HITCHHIKER:

No. You're going the wrong way.

Stop! You're going the wrong way!

MULTIPLE CHARACTERS

Hey, hey, hey!

KEMPER:

Jesus Christ.

HITCHHIKER:

Can't go back there... You can't make me go back there. I won't go back there.

ANDY:

Back where?

HITCHHIKER:

He's a bad man.

He's a really bad man.

He's a bad man.

MULTIPLE CHARACTERS

Oh, my God. Holy Sh*t

HITCHHIKER:

You're all gonna die.

KEMPER:

Drop it. Drop it.

ERIN:

Ahhhhhhh!

ERIN & PEPPER

AHHHHHH!

PEPPER:

OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!

Let me out! Oh, my God!

KEMPER:

You ok ?

ERIN:

I'm OK. I'm OK.

PEPPER:

Aah! Aah! Oh, my God!

ANDY:

Let me see.

PEPPER:

It's all over me!

ANDY:

It's gone. It's gone. Look.

MORGAN:

I could have f***ing died out there!

KEMPER:

We all could have, Morgan.

Did that just happen? I've never seen anybody die before.

MORGAN:

Yeah, most people never do.

KEMPER:

I really don't see how that's helping us right now, man.

MORGAN:

I don't know why we had to pick her up. Why the f***

did we have to stop?

ERIN:

She needed help!

MORGAN:

A lot of f***ing help we did her!

KEMPER:

Leave her alone.

MORGAN:

F***!

PEPPER:

I just don't understand. Why did she do it? And why did she have to pick us? Why did she have to pick us? Why?

MORGAN:

What are we gonna do?

KEMPER:

I don't know. We're gonna... We're gonna have to

call the cops, I guess.

MORGAN:

Yeah, on the list of bad ideas, that one goes way up there.

Are you kidding me?

Oh, police officer, please, as you inspect the crime scene, which is now our van, please ignore the colorful piata filled with marijuana you may just happen to come across, because it played no part whatsoever

in the demise of this unfortunate young woman.

KEMPER:

Listen... keep your goddamn voice down.

ANDY:

Easy, easy, easy.

KEMPER:

Goddamn it.

ANDY:

Well, you're not gonna listen to him.

What the f*** are you doing?

KEMPER:

Uh!

It's over, man.

ANDY:

Kemp, you just can't throw the sh*t out.

KEMPER:

You OK?

Baby...

I'm sorry, OK? I... I did it for us.

I did it so we could start a life, you know.

I'm sorry. OK?

PEPPER:

Well, I'll tell you this much... there's no possible way

i'm ever getting back in that van.

ANDY:

I guess that's what brains look like, huh?

Sort of like, uh... lasagna... Kind of.

All right, I'll shut up now.

KEMPER:

I'll tell you this much... the next hitchhiker is sh*t out of luck. I swear to God.

ANDY:

Dude, gas station.

PEPPER:

Come on, Erin. Let's find the bathroom.

LUDA MAE:

Well, I'll be damned.

KEMPER:

Ma'am, we need to report a suicide.
