The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Quotes

[first lines]
Narrator: The film which you are about to see is an account of the tragedy which befell a group of five youths, in particular Sally Hardesty and her invalid brother, Franklin. It is all the more tragic in that they were young. But, had they lived very, very long lives, they could not have expected nor would they have wished to see as much of the mad and

macabre as they were to see that day. For them an idyllic summer afternoon drive became a nightmare. The events of that day were to lead to the discovery of one of the most bizarre crimes in the annals of American history, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

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] Look!
[hands them to Franklin]
Hitchhiker: I was the

killer!
Franklin: [looking at the pictures] Damn...

Jerry: Hi, Mister. Would you fill 'er up, please?
Old Man: I got no gas.

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.

Those things is dangerous. You're liable to get hurt.
Kirk: We'll be careful.
Old Man: No, seriously. You don't want to go fooling around other folks' property. If some folks don't like it... they don't mind showing you.
