The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Page #5

Synopsis: En route to visit their grandfather's grave (which has apparently been ritualistically desecrated), five teenagers drive past a slaughterhouse, pick up (and quickly drop) a sinister hitch-hiker, eat some delicious home-cured meat at a roadside gas station, before ending up at the old family home... where they're plunged into a never-ending nightmare as they meet a family of cannibals who more than make up in power tools what they lack in social skills...

Oh, are you OK?

How the hell did Franklin

ever get down here, anyway?

Somebody must've carried him

when he was little.

Franklin never was little.

Gasoline.

I can leave him my guitar, give him a

couple bucks. We're coming back anyway.

I can pick up my guitar, give him a couple

more dollars and bring him some gas.

They don't want your guitar.

They won't want to sell us gas.

Let's just go back now.

Hey, come here.

Come here and look at this.

- A generator.

- What?

A generator! For electricity.

Hey, hello in there! Is anybody here?

Hello, is anybody home?

I got something for you.

Ah!

Ooh!

Let's go!

Hello?

- Hey, Pam, come look at this.

- What? No!

Hello?

Is anybody home?

Hello?

Hey, Pam.

Hello?

Kirk?

Kirk!

Kirk?

Kirk.

Kirk?

Kirk?

Oh! Oh, God!

Kirk! Kirk!

He's gonna get you, Franklin.

- You don't think it means anything?

- We'll protect you.

- I'll bet it's about me.

- He's gonna kill you, Franklin.

- It probably doesn't mean anything, huh?

- You worry too much.

He couldn't find us anyway.

I mean, he doesn't even know our names.

I gave him your name.

I told him where you live.

I even gave him your zip code.

He's gonna kill you.

Jerry.

- What are you doing?

- I can't find my knife.

That knife won't do you any good.

He likes that knife.

When did you have it last?

Well, I didn't have it last.

You had it last.

I gave it to you. Remember?

What did you do with it?

I don't know.

Didn't I give it back to you?

No. I didn't have it

when I got out of the van.

- You just never gave it back to me.

- All right, I'll look for it.

I think I'll walk down to the creek

before it gets too dark. How do I get there?

Well, there's a trail down there

between them two old sheds.

- Can I go, too?

- I think you'd better stay here.

All right.

I can't find it.

Are you mad at me?

No, I'm not mad at you.

You really are mad, huh?

Oh, I don't blame you.

I'm...

Kirk!

You really didn't want me to come,

did you?

Oh, Franklin, I'm just tired.

It's been a long day.

Sally, did you believe in all that stuff

that Pam was telling about

Saturn and retrograde and all that?

I don't know.

Everything means something, I guess.

Yeah.

You don't think that guy

would try and follow us, do you?

Well, I mean, there's no way

that he could follow us.

He's probably afraid Kirk will kill him.

Sally?

What now?

Nothing.

Never mind.

Kirk!

Hello?

Is anybody home?

Excuse me, I'm looking for some friends.

Hello?

Is anybody here?

Damn.

Kirk?

Are you guys in there?

Hey, guys, quit playing games.

Quit goofing on me.

Pam, is that you?

OK, you guys.

Come on out. Come on!

Kirk?

They must be lost.
