The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Page #3

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.

LUDA MAE:

Something like this comes along, it makes folks realize

how crazy the world is out there.

KEMPER:

Right. Would you mind calling the Sheriff, ma'am?

LUDA MAE:

It's gonna cost you

MORGAN:

You want some pig?

ERIN:

Big brothers.

PEPPER:

I just feel so disgusting.

LUDA MAE:

Oh, there's about 6 about them counting the dead one. Poor thing. It's awful.

Well, why don't you ask them yourself? Right.

Where did you say you found her again?

KEMPER:

Ma'am, I already told you. About 10 minutes west of here.

LUDA MAE:

About 5 miles west.

KEMPER:

Ma'am, excuse me. When is the Sheriff gonna be here?

LUDA MAE:

Sheriff said he's headed over to the old Crawford Mill.

KEMPER:

I'm sorry. The what?

LUDA MAE:

The old Crawford Mill. He wants to know if you wouldn't mind driving over there to make your report.

KEMPER:

Yes. Yes, we goddamn mind.

MORGAN:

I'm sorry, but how often do girls just blow their heads off in this sh*t-hole town?

KEMPER:

All right, just calm down, OK?

Let me... I'm sorry. I apologize.

But, ma'am, I don't understand.

Why the hell won't the Sheriff just come out here?

LUDA MAE:

Didn't say. He said it would be about 2 hours before he could get here.

KEMPER:

We're not gonna drive around this town with a dead girl in the back of our van!

LUDA MAE:

Young man... what you do is your own business.

KEMPER:

Come on. Get in.

ERIN:

I just want to go home, OK?

KEMPER:

That's fine.

PEPPER:

It's starting to stink back here.

MORGAN:

No worse than the inside of that f***ing store.

Did you smell that nasty beef sh*t?

ANDY:

Oh, my God.

PEPPER:

Ohh!

KEMPER:

Guys.

Hello!

Hello?

Ain't no Sheriff here.

MORGAN:

I think we should drop off the body and get the hell out of her.

KEMPER:

Maybe we should vote on it.

ERIN:

Kemper, no.

MORGAN:

Why not, Erin? It is a democracy.

ERIN:

Well, how would you like it if we just dumped your body out here?

MORGAN:

I'm sorry. Nobody asked her to blow her head off in our van.

KEMPER:

My van.

ANDY:

I say we dump her.

PEPPER:

Pig.

MORGAN:

Cool. All right. Fine. Now we just need one more. Kemper?

One more and we're out of here.

Kemper, please?

KEMPER:

Baby, she's dead. I just... I really don't think it matters

where we leave her.

ERIN:

Well, it matters to me... if that means anything.

KEMPER:

Erin, look...

ERIN:

That girl has got parents out there somewhere who's gonna want her back, not just dumped on the side of the road like a piece of trash.

MORGAN:

You see our Lone Ranger anywhere?

PEPPER:

Maybe this isn't the Crawford Mill.

KEMPER:

It's unbelievable. This is a joke. There's nobody here.

MORGAN:

There's no Sheriff here.

KEMPER:

What?

MORGAN:

I just saw something move in there.

PEPPER:

I just saw something.

MORGAN:

I swear to God, i just saw something move in there.
