So, where you heading, man?
Hitchhiker South.
You work at that place? The slaughter house?
Hitchhiker Uh... no.
How'd you get stuck way out here?
Hitchhiker I was at the slaughter house.
I got an uncle who works in a slaughter house.
Hitchhiker I used to work there. My brother did too. My grandfather too. My family's always been in meat!
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.
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.
Well, how come? I thought the gun was better.
Hitchhiker Oh, no. With the new way... people were put out of jobs.
Did you do that?
Hitchhiker Look! [hands them to Franklin] I was the killer!
Quiet! You act like a pack of hounds.
Hitchhiker We're just having fun.
You think this is a party?
Hitchhiker He can't.
Shut your mouth! [to Sally] Can't be helped, young lady. [The Hitchhiker starts to giggle] Shut up! Don't pay him no mind.
Please...you can't let them kill me.
Can't be helped.
Hitchhiker You like that face?
Hitchhiker He can't do anything. He's just a cook.
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.
Shut your mouth! You don't understand nothing.
Hitchhiker I understand you're nothing. Me and him do all the work.
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.
Oh, please! You can't... [to the Hitchhiker] Why do you want to kill me? I never hurt you. [he giggles] Please...I'll do anything you want. [starts crying, then the others begin mocking her tears]
No need to torture the poor girl.
Hitchhiker You just the cook, remember. Me and him take care of this.
You get on with it. I won't have this.
Hitchhiker We in no hurry. You ain't going nowhere.
