The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Narrator:
The film which you are about to see is an account of the tragedy which befell a group of 5 youths. 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 became a nightmare. For 30 years, the files collected dust in the cold-cases division of the Travis County Police Department. Over 1,300 pieces of evidence were collected from the crime scene at the Hewitt residence. Yet none of the evidence was more compelling than the classified police footage of the crime-scene walk-through.

Narrator:
The events of that day were to lead to one of the most bizarre crimes in the annals of American history: "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre."

[Opens in an old footage of a crime scene in Texas.]

We're gonna do a walk-through, and we're now descending the stairs into the furnace room... uh... [shows a scratch mark on the wall] There's - over here - there's scratch marks along the wall.

Officer Adams:
There's some more over here, right over here and oh, there's something over here. [touches a bundle of hair and a fingernail pinned on the wall] Seems... Looks like a clot of hair and an embedded fingernail. All right, we're gonna go move into the actual furnace room.

[Pepper and Andy turns to Morgan.]

Morgan:
Okay, The fact that Americans each day are infected with a sexually-transmitted disease, and two-thirds of them are just about your age.

Kemper:
Hey, Morgan. How are you the expert on the dumbest sh*t?

[Pepper blows bubbles at Morgan. as Andy keeps kissing Pepper.]

Pepper:
What are the odds of you guys passing through "El Paso", just as i started to hitch? I mean, it's like synchronicity.

[Erin and Morgan stare each other.]

Pepper:
[frantically.] It's like I.S.D. It's like this sh*t does not just happen. [Pepper turns to Andy and kisses each other.]

[Erin checks on the cassette box.]

Erin:
Oh, baby, They got to play "free bird."

Kemper:
Oh, they have to. We paid a fortune for these tickets.

Andy:
Hey yo Kemp, can you do something about the A.C. Back here? I'm melting.

[Kemper jams on the fan, but doesn't work.]

Kemper:
No.

[Morgan laughs.]

Kemper:
But if you or Pepper get too hot, You could always take your clothes off.

[Pepper, Andy and Morgan laughs.]

Andy:
You'd like that, wouldn't you?

Erin:
You are such a perv. [turns to Pepper.] Don't listen to him, Pepper.

Pepper:
Why not? I think he's funny.

Erin:
[turns to Kemper.] She's only known you for 19 hours. [turns back to Pepper.] I've lived with him for 3 years. And trust me, He is not funny!

[last lines] The crime scene was not properly secured by Travis County Police. Two investigating officers were fatally wounded that day. This is the only known image of Thomas Hewitt, the man they call Leatherface. The case today still remains open.
