Axe (1974) - full transcript
A group of three criminals on the run from the law, go about terrorizing the local townsfolk of a small community, before descending on an isolated farm which is home to a young girl named Lisa and her paralyzed grandfather. After being sexually assaulted by two of the gangsters, she retaliates using an axe and a razor blade.
Relax, it won't be long,
Aubrey'll be home soon.
Sure got some strange taste in clothes.
You about the same size as Aubrey,
aren't you, old man?
This I gotta see.
Alright, Miller, say it.
How's this?
Lomax, why don't you sit down.
Billy, check the window,
see if you can see his car.
You can spot it a mile away,
it's a bright orange Cadi.
Nothing yet.
Lomax, why don't you
give me a glass of water?
Then drink it yourself.
I'll give you something to do.
His car just pulled up.
There's someone getting out with him.
- How is he dressed?
Lomax, on his worst day
he could handle you. Hit the lights.
Damn it! Where is he?
God damn it, where is he?
Where is that key?
Hello, Aubrey.
Hello, Steele.
What do you want?
Want?
We don't want anything from you, Aubrey.
You might even say
we're going to give you something.
What you going to do to me?
Well...
First, Aubrey, we're going to
shut that whining mouth of yours.
Here, Aubrey, fix your make up.
Lomax...
You know I've been meaning to tell you
for a long time that cigar of yours stinks.
Don't you think it stinks, Aubrey?
Yes or no?
Don't you think it stinks?
Yes, yes it stinks.
Then, Aubrey...
Why don't you put it out for us?
Just to make sure the smoke
doesn't bother you any more, Aubrey...
we'll take off a little bit of your nose.
Why bother, he's dead.
What about his friend here?
Why did he do that, it's 12 floors?
- Nah, it's only nine.
You don't like this country music?
Not much.
- Not much...
Something bothering you, kid?
Something bothering you, kid?
What's the matter?
I said what's the matter?
I didn't know you were going to kill him.
It just happened, that's all.
A lot of things just happen.
That didn't just happen.
Yeah, forget it, kid. ...
Disappear for a while.
Yeah, Lomax is right, kid.
I'm sure these folks wouldn't mind
putting us up around here for a while.
Lunch, grandpa.
Want something to eat?
- Maybe some nuts.
I'll go with you.
D'you have fresh fruit?
- Down there.
What about potato chips?
- Down there.
You call this fresh fruit?
We just got it yesterday.
Then you eat it yourself.
We're very sorry.
Please take another one if you like.
Hear that, Lomax?
I say she should have
some of her damn poisoned fruit.
Lomax...
Here, you try some.
A little higher.
That's it.
Try something bigger.
Ready?
Pull.
We better split.
- Why, I'm just getting hot.
Lady, you sure got some nice melons.
I bet she's got
some other nice melons too.
I don't think she understands.
Lady, I want you to take your blouse off.
Now...
1... 2... 3... 4... 5...
Damn it lady,,,
The lady wants you
to give her a drink, old man.
Damn, I forgot whether
you wanted salted or plain.
My business where I work
as a meat cutter, down here...
Barbara...
The question again: When your husband
goes to bed at night, does he become
a lion...
Frances, a lion, an ostrich or a kangaroo?
Kangaroo!
That's it for the show today,
we hope you'll tune in tomorrow.
Thank you very much for watching
and we'll see you then. Goodbye!
Little Maria is only
three years old and an orphan,
but she has plenty
of brothers and sisters to play with.
Maria and 200 other boys and girls
live here at the home,
sponsored by The Hope Association.
They are truly one big family.
If you'd like to help
a child like Maria,

I heard something upstairs.
Yeah, I know, I saw someone.
What do you want?
We don't mean you any harm, ma'am.
We have a sick friend out in the car.
He needs a place to lie down.
There are hotels up the road.
For all we know he's pretty sick.
Let me talk to your parents,
they might be more understanding.
I don't have any parents.
It's only me and my grandfather.
Grandfather?
You live with your grandfather?
This place will do just fine.
He seems to have gotten
much better already.
But I think we'll still take you up
on your hospitality.
Why don't you
kind of get us something to eat?
Pull the car behind
so nobody can see it. - Right.
Get your grandfather down here.
- I can't, he's paralysed.
That's too bad,
but I think I better take a look anyway.
Eating raw eggs?
- They're good for this sort of thing.
Hey, how does he...
- Oh, Lomax...
The cops, better check the window.
Better send them away.
Send them away so they don't come back.
They're going.
- You sure? - Yes.
Well, I guess gramps
gets to see the ending after all.
Looks good, ma'am.
Why don't you join us?
I'm not hungry.
Join us anyway.
I sure could get used
to this home cooking.
Lomax, you're splashing me.
Not bad looking cook, eh Steele?
Kind of makes you want to eat.
Billy...
Check the radio,
see if we're on the news yet.
Where'd she go? At least
she could have kept her guests company.
I think I'll make it my official duty
to keep an eye on her.
Why don't you leave her alone?
Don't talk to me like that, boy.
Yeah, Billy boy,
you've been acting funny all day.
Billy you snap out of it.
Excuse me.
What was that?
- I don't know.
Damn it, where the hell did he go?
Lisa...
Lisa, I'd like to talk to you.
Look, I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Hey, look what I found.
What do you know...
Grandpop here
was once a real life soldier boy.
And a colonel to boot.
Invite him to a John Wayne movie.
You like that, gramps?
How about a nice girlie show?
What's this?
Better up, gramps.
Why don't you guys let up?
Look, Billy boy, either you straighten
out or we'll straighten you out.
If Lomax wants to have a little fun
with old Jackass here, he will.
So...
Beat it.
Wonder what's bugging Billy?
Who knows,
he's getting out of hand.
A nice looking woman.
She's OK,
but let's not press our luck.
Especially with Billy so damn touchy.
Why worry, it's bugging me.
OK?
That's more like it, baby.
You need any help?
No, I'm alright.
Come on, that's an awful big trunk.
Where do you want it?
Anywhere.
Maybe in the attic.
What you got in here,
old bowling balls?
This ain't going to be so easy.
Maybe if we unpack it...
- No! Don't unpack.
Two more miles...
Jesus!
Who did this?
Who?
The other one.
He said he'd kill me if I told.
Why did he kill Lomax?
He must be crazy.
Is there any place
we can go and talk and not be seen?
Have you seen...
Let's stop here.
Lisa, I can't go to the police.
I'm involved in a murder.
Can you help me?
Can you help me?
I promise I won't
let them hurt you or your grandfather.
You're way ahead of me.
I'll need that.
Now go back there and if he asks
where I am, tell him you don't know.
OK?
Lisa, have you seen Lomax or Billy?
I think they went for a walk.
A walk?
They're nature lovers, figures.
Fix me something to eat.
Thanks.
What were you doing?
I had to go look in on my grandfather.
- Why, he's not going anywhere.
I don't want to eat alone.
Join me.
Sit down.
You know you're...
a pretty girl.
A very pretty girl.
...
Hear what I said?
Hear what I said?
I have to go and care for my grandfather.
Your grandfather.
You want to see your grandfather?
You want to see your grandfather?
Alright, we'll go see your grandfather.
We'll both watch TV
with your grandfather.
We'll give your grandfather
a real good TV show to watch.
Wisecracker, has just upset
Stop the World for one of the most
absolutely outrageous
upsets of the season.
There are many disappointed fans
in the field today.
Where's Steele?
I don't know.
He was gone when I got back.
He couldn't be far.
His car's still out back.
Let's just hope
he didn't see us talking again.
What are you doing now?
I'm fixing my grandfather's lunch.
OK, I'm going out to look for him.
I can't find him.
You haven't seen or
heard anything have you Lisa?
I made you some soup.
Oh, god!
That's one of them alright.
She sure was right about it.
