Monster: The Ed Gein Story

Madison. You're so pretty!

That's a really pretty green.

Thank you.

Just wait until Randy sees you in that.

He'd like me if I was in a garbage bag.

- That's true! -

My mother would kill me if she saw this.

- No! - Yeah!

- They're just so pointy. - That's the idea.

It's called a bullet bra. It's what boys want nowadays.

Adeline, how do you know what boys want?

- I've seen it in comic books. - Comic books?

And men's magazines.

Yeah, you can send away for them.

I feel like I'm going to poke somebody's eye out.

Oh, then try it with a fuzzy sweater.

Bullet bras look best with a fuzzy sweater.

- Ooh! -

Oh, yes.

Mother?

I thought you said she was playing bridge.

She is.

Mother, is that you?

Hello?

Adeline?

Eddie?

Eddie?

Eddie, you seen your brother?

I don't know where he's at.

You and me can't run this farm alone.

- -

Get those off.

Take them off.

You have brought sin into this house.

"But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable,

as for murderers,

the sexually immoral, sorcerers,

idolaters, and all liars,

their portion will be the lake that burns with fire and sulfur,

"which is the second death."

"Amen."

Eddie…

Why were you in my brassiere and nylons?

I suppose I was…

Just trying to be funny.

Oh, you're joshing me?

I'm not joshing.

When I was a little girl,

I saw a clown riding a pogo stick at the circus.

And I went home, and I prayed on it,

and I never went back.

Because I realized that seeing wild beasts with tassels

and painted trapeze harlots for a chuckle,

it's blasphemy.

Sorry, Mother.

I won't do it again.

Get dressed.

Thank you.

Only a mother could love you.

Eddie, promise me…

You will never be involved with a Jezebel.

I don't fancy a Jezebel, Mother.

Oh, so you are seeing some…

I know who you got eyes for, that girl in town, that Pandora.

Her name's not Pandora, Mother.

- It's Adeline... - No, her name is Pandora!

And you won't touch her!

You will never touch a woman!

You won't be marrying one!

And you won't be spilling your seed with one!

You understand me? It's sin, Eddie!

Women are sin.

Get in your room.

Thank you, Mother.

How do you do?

Hello.

You're not from Plainfield, are you?

Eddie, leave the girls alone.

Don't mean nothing by it.

Just wanted to welcome her to town, is all.

See you around.

Eddie, you can't do that.

Do what? Talk to a couple of girls?

You sound like Mother.

Saw your brother the other day. He was with that girl of his.

Yeah, you already told me.

Two straws, please.

You hearing this about the Nazi camps?

It's the Russians saying that. The communists.

Says here they put Jews in ovens.

Don't believe everything you read, Eddie, all's I'm saying.

Sorry I'm late.

I'll forgive ya.

Come here.

You're never gonna believe what came. You're the only person I can show this to.

Why is that?

Mm-mm. 'Cause you're the only one in this town who's like me.

What are we like?

Mm…

Weird.

So, you know those camps everyone's talking about?

Hm.

Look.

What's this?

Look.

Those are piles of dead bodies. It's from one of those camps.

- This can't be real. - Yeah, it is.

And that photo,

a soldier found that in the pocket of a dead Nazi officer.

Remember my cousin I was telling you about, Alice?

She lives in New York City, she works with this girl at the steno pool

who met this guy who said he was an office clerk,

but he actually works for the OSS.

What's the OSS?

It's a spy network behind enemy lines.

So I think he got these photos to kind of impress her, I guess.

I think he really wants to go with her.

God, look at all those dead bodies.

I mean, I really thought those were piles of wood or something.

And Alice found this little bookstore in Brooklyn

with all these crazy comic books.

"The Bitch of Buchenwald."

She's real. So she did all of that stuff.

- -

Got you.

Got you again.

- -

Where you been?

Oh, Mother's going to whip you when she sees you.

Oh, no, no, no.

Edward. The only one lets Ma whip him is you.

- Yeah, okay. Don't! - Yeah, okay?

No!

Stop it. Hm.

God, I can't tolerate it no more, Ed.

What?

- I'm in love with Ginny. -

- I want to marry her. - You can't.

Mother says you can't do that.

Ginny's twice divorced.

I don't give a flying fuck about that, Ed.

I can't do the religion no more, Ed.

The cage she's built for herself and she's trapped in it.

Look at me.

Right in the eye.

You're going to get trapped in it too.

All right?

Listen to me.

I'm getting out of here. All right? I'm… I'm…

I'm leaving you. Do you understand?

Oh, I don't think you are, Henry. I don't think Mother will let you.

You're not hearing me, Ed.

You need to get out of here too.

Mother's sick. She's a sick woman.

- You shut your mouth. - No, I won't.

- I don't want to hear about that. - Ed.

Don't talk like that about her.

Goddamn it, Eddie.

Eddie. Look…

Look, you've always been the…

Peculiar type. You know?

It's just…

Mother's making you very strange, you know, and it's just…

I hate to see you like that, you know?

Ed, just…

You need to get away from her. All right?

You promise me that?

- Huh? - Okay.

There she is, right there.
