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.

Franklin:
Hey, do you know where the old Franklin place is?
Old Man:
The old Franklin place?
Franklin:
Yeah, it's an old two-story rock house that sitting up on a hill. I thought it might be back on that road someplace, but I'm not really sure.
Old Man:
Uh... yeah, maybe I've seen something like that up that way. Well now look, you boys don't want to go messin around some old house. You're liable to get hurt. You don't want to go fooling around other folk's property. Some folks don't like it, they don't mind showing you.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre - The Struggles of Maintaining a Small Business
Old Man: [to the captive Sally in his truck]
Sorry to keep you waiting, young lady. I had to lock up the shop and turn the lights off. The cost of electricity these days is enough to drive a man like me out of business.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre - Legacy of a Notorious Butcher
Old Man: [to Sally]
Why, my old grandpa was the best killer there was at the slaughterhouse. Why, it never took more than one lick they say. Why, he did 60 cattle in five minutes once. They say he could have done more if the hook and pull gang could have gotten the beeves out of the way faster.
