- Narrator: The following film is an account of a tragedy that transpired at an isolated property. A seemingly harmless old farmhouse in the desolate rural landscape, for all who encountered it, an ordinary day became a nightmare. This is one account of many tragic crimes that would eventually lead to the discovery of the Texas chainsaw massacre. This particular account of mad and macabre would be known as the Sawyer massacre.
- Rex: Can I help you kids?
- Alison: What do you sell in your store?
- Rex: Well, just the bare minimums, y'know beef jerky, soda pops, candy bars... those type of things
- Gene: No light bulbs?
- Alison: Or bathing suits?
- Rex: No, no. You want things like that; you got to go see my grandpa.
- Brant: Where is he?
- Rex: He's not far. He's got everything you need. I tell you what, take this road down here, go down about two miles, you're gonna see this power transformer, take the dirt road there, go take a right, follow down until you see the white house. Just go on up, knock on the door, tell him that Rex sent you. He'll send you in and take care of you.
- Brant: Simple enough.
- Drayton: Oh, one last thing; it's an old house and the old man doesn't really take care of it so be careful!
- Alison: I think we can take care of ourselves.
- Bob: This house should be bulldozed
- Rex: Bulldozed huh? Just tear it down, yeah? Hes just a typical city boy now, aint you? Just tear it down dont mean shit to you. Let me tell you something... how we do things around here. See, our history means something to us, our family means something to us. I dont expect you to understand something like that
- Rex: We need just one strong winter
- Drayton: Just leave me out of it...
- Rex: Thats the damn point. See, you just stay up here in the front and you greet folks, and if anybody needs something you send them to me
- Drayton: What about the sheriff?
- Rex: I dont think that any son of a bitch dont come out these parts much. I dont recommend it had too much problems with him. So you just do like I told you, anybody comes and needs anything you send them to me and Ill take care of it. And you keep that goddamn Schizzo from me. He gets on my nerves
