The Night of a Thousand Cats (1972) - full transcript
Millionaire playboy Hugo (whose lack of facial expressions give him the appearance of a Thundercat marionette) flies around Acapulco in his private helicopter to pick up sexy young women. He whisks them away to his secluded old castle, where he wines and dines them (among other things, *wink*). With the aid of his bald mute little helper Gorgo, he kills his dates, keeping their heads in a crystal cage and feeding their chopped up body parts to his 1,000-strong army of blood thirty, flesh hungry cats.

I would like to
stay with you forever.
On that we agree, and I
would like you to stay with me,
but in a place where
no one could touch you.
For example, in a crystal cage.
Dorgo, this is Christa.
Come on.
I'm sorry.
It's his face, the cold stare.
Somehow he scares me.
My dear, it's
your imagination.
Dorgo's an excellent butler.
He's obedient and as
faithful as a cat.
I inherited him along
with this monastery.
It was built in 1600 by the
Carmelite order of nuns.
It's been in my family
for over 150 years.
All of my ancestors had
a mania for collecting:
Stamps, coins,
porcelains, and weapons.
They covered the walls with
their valuable collections,
but I donated everything
to several museums
so that everyone
could appreciate them.
But my collection is going
to be the most original
and most interesting of all.
You will see.
I want you to feel at home.
I see your butler
is very well trained.
Yes, he knows
exactly what I want.
Who else lives here?
Some very charming
and silent guests.
You'll meet them after
you've had dinner.
You've never tasted anything
as delicious as this.
Dorgo is a great cook,
and meat is his specialty.
Don't be afraid,
I'll be right back.
Don't leave me alone,
I'll go with you.
I'm going to show you
the rest of the place.
All these were shot
by my grandfather.
Besides being a great
hunter, he was a taxidermist.
I think he enjoyed stuffing
them more than killing them.
Don't be afraid.
They're only made of wax.
Let's get out of here, Hugo.
It's horrible.
Yes?
Yes, just a moment,
I can't hear.
Well, maybe the helicopter.
He almost has it in my lap.
No, no, don't hang up.
I'll use the other phone, huh?
Come dear, your daddy
is getting ready to leave.
Bye bye.
Bye, dear.
- Bye, daddy.
- Behave yourself.
I will.
Wave goodbye.
Goodbye.
Checkmate.
Salud.
I'm going to show
you something that only
two people in the
world know about.
Wait here.
Good evening, I'm
sorry to bother you.
I'm a doctor.
I was on my way
to visit a patient
when my car broke down, and I
wondered if you could help me.
I'm sorry there's
nothing we can do for you.
Now listen, it's a little
girl, and she could be
seriously ill.
I must get to her right away.
I told you there's
nothing we can do.
Take him in your car, Hugo.
Don't worry about
me, I have to leave.
Wait.
My little girl's home alone.
At least let me
call for a taxi.
Okay, come in.
Thank you.
Dorgo, the cats are hungry.
Daddy, daddy.
There's my girl.
Hi, dear.
Have you been a good girl?
No, Dorgo, not her.
I just made a
decision, Paulette,
the most beautiful
one of my life.
I'm going to bring you
something that I think
will make you very happy.
Mommy!
Darling, what's wrong?
What is it?
Nothing, I have a headache.
Are you feeling better?
What are you thinking about?
About how wonderful
everything has been between us.
You know something.
I'm going to do everything in
my power to keep you near me.
I hope that you really
can find some way to do it.
All things have a
beginning and an ending,
and nothing can change the
fact that life ends with death.
Hello, yes, how are you?
I'm fine.
Where? Wonderful.
I'll be right over.
What happened?
Where are you going?
I'm sorry, I have to see the
guy who pays for all of this.
Please lock the
door when you leave
and call me some other day.
Fine, Dorgo.
Checkmate.
You're learning.
What happened?
I came too close to the coral.
Let me see.
It's nothing.
Let's go eat, I'm starving.
You go.
You have that head pain again?
I'm worried about
something I have to finish.
Is it important?
I have to find a way.
Why did you stop?
This is the place.
Let's go back,
it's getting late.
It's already too late.
I've found the right
piece for my collection.
Cathy.
Cathy?
Cathy?
Cathy?
Cathy?
It's been hell
waiting all these days
to have you here again.
You don't know how much
I've looked forward to it.
Me too.
Let's finish what we
started the other night.
I'm going to show you
something wonderful,
my collection, and
there's only one person
in the world who knows it.
Only one person?
Yes.
I thought you told
me the other night
that two people knew about it.
That's true, there were
two people who knew about it,
Dorgo and myself, but now,
he's part of my collection.
