• Hitchhiker : My family's always been in meat.

• Hitchhiker : You could have dinner with us! You like head cheese? My... my brother makes it real good. You'll like it.

• 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...

• Hitchhiker : You just shut up and remember you're just the cook and me and him'll handle this!

  Hitchhiker : South.

  Franklin : You work at that place? The slaughterhouse?

  Hitchhiker : Uh... no.

  Sally : How'd you get stuck way out here?

  Hitchhiker : I was at the slaughterhouse.

  Franklin : I got an uncle who works in a slaughterhouse.

  Hitchhiker : I used to work there. My brother did too. My grandfather too. My family's always been in meat!

  Franklin : [quietly to Sally]  A whole family of Draculas!

• Hitchhiker : [to Sally]  And-and I thought YOU was in a hurry!

• Hitchhiker : [to Leatherface, who investigates Sally at the dinner table]  You like this face?

• Hitchhiker : He's just a Cook! And it burns you up, don't it?
