Terror In The Fleshtaglines
Paul
- Jeff! Jeff, it's the water! Wherever you are, don't drink the water!
Karen
- That guy asked for our help, and we lit him on fire! You'll understand if I'm not in a particularly social mood.
- [A stranger has just emerged from the woods with a dog that's barking threateningly] Wait... Is your dog friendly?
Marcy
- [While washing her face in the bathroom, Marcy discovers a suspicious pair of sores on her back where Paul had been grabbing her when they had sex.] Jesus, Paul, you really did a number on my back!
Jeff
- I don't want any of us getting sick, but you two fuckin' fuckers insist on touching her, now she's bleeding all over both you guys! So you two can fuckin rot, but not me, no fuckin way not me! [Jeff runs off carrying beer]
- [yelling] I made it! I made it! I knew I'd make it! I fucking made it! [he is shot by the police]
Others
- Deputy Winston: You know what it's like when you go to a new town, and you're the new guy? All the girls see you walking down the street. They don't know you've got five pounds of ding-a-ling meat. They're looking for no commitment. You understand what I'm saying? I've heard that theory before. This is that town!
- Old Man Cadwell: [The visiting out-of-town college students have just found a jar of fox piss on the shelves of eccentric Old Man Cadwell's shop.] Oh Lord, don't drop that! If you do, that's powerful stuff! All the foxes around would come down here, you'd have friends like you'd never had before.
Dialogue
- [Bert leaves the cabin with a rifle]
- Karen: Bert, what the hell is that?
- Bert: I'm going to go shoot some squirrels.
- Paul: Why would you want to kill squirrels?
- Bert: Because they're gay.
- Karen: Bert, don't be a fucking retard.
- Bert: I'm kidding. I don't care if they're gay or straight, I'll kill them either way.
- '[Bert has just been caught shoplifting by Tommy, the gruff shopkeeper.]
- Tommy: Boy, you want to give me one good reason why you would steal a Snickers bar?
- Bert: The nougat?
- Paul: Hey, where are you going?
- Karen: Where does it look like I'm going?
- Paul: But, well, I thought we were kissing.
- Karen: Yeah, we were, weren't we?
- Paul: So... you like me now? Like, is this a date?
- Karen: Don't be gay. [pause] When you've known someone a long time, you just want to kiss them just to see if they're a good kisser. There's nothing wrong with that, right?
- Jeff: [sitting around the campfire] Tell them about The Happy Bald Guy.
- Karen: No, I can't take it
- Paul: He was the guy that gave us our shoes and quarters for the video games. There was a room with a pool table too, but my dad wouldn't let us go back there. The bald guy was always happy, always smiling. But the killer got him too. When the cops searched the place, they found all the hacked off limbs at the end of the bowling lanes. The guy had bowled people's organs. Arms, legs, everything. They found the bald guy's head in the ball return. He was still smiling.
- Deputy Winston: Looks like you guys were doing some pretty good partying, huh?
- Paul: Yeah, you know, we were drinking and then this guy came along and tried to break into the cabin. We had no choice but to get rough. I feel awful, but he was going crazy. He smashed into our car, and then he wouldn't come out, so... we had to hit him. We hurt him. We were terrified. We didn't know what to do. That's why we went to look for help...
- Deputy Winston: Hey, man, I told you... I'm gonna make a report. Don't worry about it. He ain't gonna come back. Looks like you guys scared him away pretty good. I ain't gonna let him ruin your fun.
- Paul: Thank you. My friend's inside right now and she's pretty freaked out. She wants to go home. We all kind of do.
- Deputy Winston: A lady friend, huh? I bet you like to party.
- Marcy: We're all going to get it. We're all going to get sick and Jeff's off in the woods getting drunk!
- Paul: Bert's going to get help. Karen will be fine, I promise.
- Marcy: It's like being on a plane when you know it's going to crash. Everybody around you is screaming and yelling, "We're going down! We're going down!" And all you really want to do is grab the person next to you and fuck the shit out of them, because you know you're going to be dead soon, anyway.
- [Marcy looks over at Paul (who is sitting right beside her) suggestively. A few minutes later, both Paul and Marcy are naked. Marcy throws Paul down on to the bed forcefully and begins to ride him.]
- Paul: You don't use condoms?
- Marcy: Don't worry, I'm healthy.
- [For no discernable reason, mentally handicapped Dennis suddenly begins to shout at Bert]
- Dennis: [yelling] Pancakes! PANCAKES! PANCAKES!
- Bert: No, No Pancakes!
- Dennis: PANCAKES!!!
- Bert: No Pancakes!
- [Dennis suddenly begins doing a bizarre set of martial arts kicks]
