"[First lines] 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."

"[voice-over] Graverobbing in Texas is this hour's top news story. An informant led officers of the Muerto County Sheriff's Department to a cemetery just outside the small rural Texas community of Newt early this morning. Officers there discovered what appeared to be a grisly work of art: the remains of a badly decomposed corpse wired to a large monument. A second body was found in a ditch near the perimeter of the cemetery. Subsequent investigation has revealed at least a dozen empty crypts, and it's feared more will turn up as the probe continues. Deputies report that in some instances only parts of a corpse have been removed, the head or in some cases the extremities removed, the remainder of the corpse left intact. Evidence indicates the robberies have occurred over a period of time. Sheriff Jesús Maldonado refused to give details in the ghoulish case, and said only that he did have evidence linking the crime to elements outside the state. Area residents have reportedly been converging on the cemetery, fearing the remains of relatives have been removed. No suspects are in custody as the investigation at the scene continues."

"[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."

"No one seated the last 10 minutes! We defy you to guess the ending... and ask you not to divulge it!"

"[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."

"Manos, god of primal darkness. As thou has decreed so have I done. The hands of fate have doomed this man. Thy will is done."

"Arise, my wifes. Give ear to the words of Manos. Arise, my wives! And hear the will of Manos."

"[last lines] I am Michael. I take care of the place while the Master is away."

"You have failed us, Torgo. For this, you must die."

"There is no way out of here. It'll be dark soon. There is no way out of here."

"You were his first wife, but he's grown sick of you. He doesn't want you anymore, I don't even want you anymore!"

"[repeated line] Mike, I'm scared."

"He has left this world. But he is with us always. No matter where we go he is with us."

"I am Torgo. I take care of the place while the Master is away."
