The Texas Chain Saw Massacre - Tension Escalates Among Characters in Distress
Old Man:
Quiet! You act like a pack of hounds.
Hitchhiker:
We're just having fun.
Old Man:
You think this is a party?
Sally: [to Old Man]
Please, help me. You can make them stop...
Hitchhiker:
He can't.
Old Man: [to Sally; The Hitchhiker starts to giggle]
Shut your mouth! Can't be helped, young lady. Shut up! Don't pay him no mind.
Sally:
Please...you can't let them kill me.
Old Man:
Can't be helped.
Hitchhiker: [to Leatherface]
You like that face?
Sally:
They're crazy. You have to help!
Hitchhiker:
He can't do anything. He's just a cook.
Old Man:
Shut up, you bitch hog!
Hitchhiker:
Me and Leatherface do all the work. He don't like it. Isn't that right? You ain't nothing but a cook.
Old Man:
Shut your mouth! You don't understand nothing.
Hitchhiker:
I understand you're nothing. Me and him do all the work.
Old Man:
I just can't take no pleasure in killing. There's just some things you gotta do. Don't mean you have to like it.
Sally: [to the Hitchhiker; he giggles; starts crying, then the others begin mocking her tears]
Oh, please! You can't... Why do you want to kill me? I never hurt you. Please...I'll do anything you want.
Old Man:
No need to torture the poor girl.
Hitchhiker:
You just the cook, remember. Me and him take care of this.
Old Man:
You get on with it. I won't have this.
Hitchhiker:
We in no hurry. You ain't going nowhere.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre - Discussion on Cattle Slaughter Methods
Franklin:
Hey man, you ever go in that slaughter room or whatever they call it? The place where they shoot cattle in the head with that big air gun?
Hitchhiker:
Oh, that gun's no good.
Franklin:
I was in there once with my uncle.
Hitchhiker:
The old way... with a sledge! You see, that way's better. They die better that way.
Franklin:
Well, how come? I thought the gun was better.
Hitchhiker:
Oh, no. With the new way... people were put out of jobs.
Franklin:
Did you do that?
Hitchhiker: [digs through pouch for a few pictures; hands them to Franklin]
Look! I was the killer!
Franklin: [looking at the pictures]
Damn...
