Quotes6

  • Jerry: Hi, Mister. Would you fill 'er up, please?
  • Old Man: I got no gas.
  • Franklin: What? You're all out of gas?
  • Old Man: My tank's empty! Transport woun't be here until late this afternoon. Maybe not even 'til tomorrow morning.
  • Franklin: Hey, do you know where the old Franklin place is?
  • Old Man: The old Franklin place?
  • Franklin: Yeah, it's an old two-story rock house that sitting up on a hill. I thought it might be back on that road someplace, but I'm not really sure.
  • Old Man: Uh... yeah, maybe I've seen something like that up that way. Well now look, you boys don't want to go messin' around some old house. Those things is dangerous. You're liable to get hurt.
  • Kirk: We'll be careful.
  • Old Man: No, seriously. You don't want to go fooling around other folks' property. If some folks don't like it... they don't mind showing you.
  • [Kirk and Pam arrive at a large hole in the ground where a pond used to be]
  • Kirk: This must be it. How the hell did Franklin ever get down here anyway?
  • Pam: Somebody must've carried him when he was little.
  • Kirk: Franklin never was little.
  • Kirk: So, where you heading, man?
  • 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!
  • Kirk: [when approaching a slaughterhouse] What's that stench?
  • Franklin: Hey, I bet that's some of that guy's blood. Look at that. Look at that. You think that's blood?
  • Kirk: Yeah, I guess so.
  • Franklin: Oh, that's blood, all right. And that guy cut the hell out of himself. You think you could do that to yourself?
  • Kirk: [laughs] I'm not crazy.
  • Franklin: Yeah, but. It takes something, though, I mean, just to do that to yourself like he did. God! Hey, you think I said something made him mad?
  • Kirk: [laughs]
  • Franklin: Well, what?
  • Kirk: Franklin, you're crazier than he was.
  • [laughs]
  • Franklin: Oh man, it's hot in here.
  • Sally: Hitchhiker!
  • Jerry: Should we pick him up?
  • Kirk: Oh yeah, man! Pick him up; he'll asphyxiate out there!
  • Pam: What does he look like?
  • Franklin: Well, the son of a bitch is gonna smell just like the slaughterhouse!
  • Sally: Oh, give the guy a break. He can sit by Franklin.
  • Jerry: What do you want to do?
  • Pam: Oh, he's weird-looking. No!
