Pinhead

The box. You opened it. We came. Now you must come with us, taste our pleasures.

• The box. You opened it. We came. Now you must come with us, taste our pleasures.

• Ah, the suffering. The sweet, sweet suffering.

• Come here, damn you, I want to touch you.

• I thought I'd gone to the limits. I hadn't. The Cenobites gave me an experience beyond limits... pain and pleasure, indivisible.

• Come to Daddy.

• (As he is torn apart) Jesus wept.
