1. Here's the okay
from Washington...
Copy !req
2. on our latest ham
operator application.
Copy !req
3. Call letters are W6XRL4.
Copy !req
4. These two-way radio rigs are
getting to be quite a popular hobby.
Copy !req
5. Yeah. I just hope
this man realizes...
Copy !req
6. that being able to
communicate with people all
Copy !req
7. over the world carries
a serious responsibility.
Copy !req
8. Mm. What's the name on this one? Uh,
"Herman Munster. Mockingbird Heights."
Copy !req
9. Oh, I'm sure he's a solid citizen
with both feet on the ground.
Copy !req
10. That's funny.
Copy !req
11. The man in Australia cut me off in
the middle of “My Mother's Eyes."
Copy !req
12. Oh, Herman.
Copy !req
13. Will you knock it
off with that thing?
Copy !req
14. Look, if you wanna communicate
with people around the world,
Copy !req
15. here, use my crystal ball.
Copy !req
16. You put over
$400 into that thing,
Copy !req
17. and you can't even
get the roller derby on it.
Copy !req
18. Yes, Herman, come on to bed.
Copy !req
19. You've talked to six countries, and
nobody wants to hear "My Mother's Eyes."
Copy !req
20. I'll come to bed later.
Copy !req
21. Lily, I've always
wanted a ham radio set.
Copy !req
22. And now that I've got one, I'm
gonna listen in on distress signals...
Copy !req
23. and notify the authorities
and... prevent disasters...
Copy !req
24. and noble things like that.
Copy !req
25. Aw, Uncle Herman,
you're all heart.
Copy !req
26. Oh, no, I'm not. There's
lots of other junk in here.
Copy !req
27. Come on, Marilyn.
Let's go upstairs.
Copy !req
28. Look, Herman, take my advice.
Copy !req
29. Don't try to be noble. Just
learn to mind your own business.
Copy !req
30. That's just what
I've been doing...
Copy !req
31. ever since I told that Napoleon fellow
to take that shortcut through Waterloo.
Copy !req
32. Calling W6XRL4.
Copy !req
33. Calling W6XRL4.
Copy !req
34. Grandpa. That's
me! That's-That's me!
Copy !req
35. Hello, hello?
Copy !req
36. This is W6XRL4.
Come in, come in.
Copy !req
37. This is Milan, Italy.
Copy !req
38. Italy. Are you the one...
Copy !req
39. who was singing
"My Mother's Eyes"?
Copy !req
40. That was me. That was me. Hmm!
Copy !req
41. That is correct.
Copy !req
42. That is all. Over and out.
Copy !req
43. Well, I don't call
that very neighborly.
Copy !req
44. Calling CQ. Calling CQ.
Copy !req
45. Uh, come in, please.
Copy !req
46. How do you like these new
walkie-talkies that I got for my birthday?
Copy !req
47. Boy, they're great. We can
play some neat games with them.
Copy !req
48. Let me have one. Okay.
Copy !req
49. Aw, they're no fun. I'd rather go home
and watch my Grandpa blow up things.
Copy !req
50. Aw, go on, Eddie. I don't think you
have half the fun at home you say you do.
Copy !req
51. Hey, Walt, you go over on the other side
of the wall, and we can talk to each other.
Copy !req
52. We'll pretend we're
spacemen. Okay.
Copy !req
53. Can you read me?
Can you read me?
Copy !req
54. I read you loud and clear. Over.
Copy !req
55. Hey, where you goin', Eddie?
Aw, I'm goin' home. This is kid stuff.
Copy !req
56. See ya later, Roger. Bye, Walt.
Copy !req
57. You know, sometimes I just
don't dig that Eddie. Me too.
Copy !req
58. I wouldn't mess around with him except
for the neat way he opens up cans...
Copy !req
59. With his ears.
Copy !req
60. Hey, Walt. I got an idea.
Copy !req
61. Why don't I be a spaceship, and
you be a control tower on Mars?
Copy !req
62. Okay. Get over
there behind the wall.
Copy !req
63. This is spaceship X-14.
Copy !req
64. Now circling spaceport.
Come in, spaceport.
Copy !req
65. Ah.
Copy !req
66. This is Spaceport
Mars calling X-14.
Copy !req
67. Tracking you on gamma beam. Stand by at
plutonium layer for landing instructions.
Copy !req
68. Mars.
Copy !req
69. This is spaceship X-14.
Copy !req
70. Vector reading: 9-0-3.
Copy !req
71. Now firing retro-rockets
in sequence.
Copy !req
72. It is Mars.
Copy !req
73. It is Mars!
Copy !req
74. That's a spaceship!
Copy !req
75. Hello! Hello! Hello! This
is W6XRL4, planet Earth.
Copy !req
76. Hey, Walt.
Copy !req
77. What's this "planet Earth"
junk? What do you mean?
Copy !req
78. Listen.
Copy !req
79. This is W6X4L...
W6XRL4, planet Earth.
Copy !req
80. Calling Mars. Calling Mars.
Copy !req
81. Some other kid must have
one of these things, too,
Copy !req
82. and he's trying to
get in on the game.
Copy !req
83. Yeah, but it's getting late. We gotta
get home. Just a minute. Just a minute.
Copy !req
84. Planet Earth, this
is spaceship X-14.
Copy !req
85. Now in landing pattern
for Spaceport 7, Mars.
Copy !req
86. Will have to break off.
Will have to break off.
Copy !req
87. But you can't break off.
I-I've gotta talk to you.
Copy !req
88. Please, fella, don't break off.
Copy !req
89. Sorry. Will resume
transmission same time tomorrow,
Copy !req
90. 4:00 Earth time.
Copy !req
91. That is all.
Copy !req
92. But...
Copy !req
93. I got Mars. I got Mars.
Copy !req
94. I got Mars! I got Mars!
Copy !req
95. And Lily and Grandpa
said this was a kid's toy.
Copy !req
96. Hah! Wait till I break
this news to the world.
Copy !req
97. Your Majesty,
ladies and gentlemen,
Copy !req
98. it is with a great deal of
pleasure that I modestly accept...
Copy !req
99. this Nobel Prize in Science.
Copy !req
100. Herman!
Copy !req
101. Will you please come to bed?
I'm dying to get some sleep.
Copy !req
102. Lily, I'm much too excited
to go... To go to sleep.
Copy !req
103. And besides, I just
may be sitting on top...
Copy !req
104. of one of the biggest scientific
breakthroughs in history.
Copy !req
105. Well, whatever it is you're sitting
on, get up off it and come to bed.
Copy !req
106. Lily, I was
speaking figuratively.
Copy !req
107. And that's no way to talk to
a future Nobel Prize winner.
Copy !req
108. Oh, Herman! Come to bed!
Copy !req
109. Yes, dear.
Copy !req
110. Herman.
Copy !req
111. Herman. Herman!
Copy !req
112. Oh! Oh, Grandpa.
Copy !req
113. You gave me such a fright. I
thought you were a man from Mars.
Copy !req
114. What are you talking
about, Herman?
Copy !req
115. What's going on down here?
Copy !req
116. You've been sitting
down here for hours.
Copy !req
117. Grandpa.
Copy !req
118. What would you say...
Copy !req
119. if I told you that in two
minutes... At the stroke of 4:00...
Copy !req
120. I, Herman Munster,
Copy !req
121. am gonna be in communication
with the planet Mars?
Copy !req
122. I'd say...
Copy !req
123. that if you keep
talking this way,
Copy !req
124. they'll take you away
to the funny farm.
Copy !req
125. There.
Copy !req
126. Now. It's 4:00.
Copy !req
127. You'll see. You'll see.
Copy !req
128. Boy, Roger, we'll have more
fun playing spacemen than ever...
Copy !req
129. now that your father bought you this
genuine synthetic plastic spaceship.
Copy !req
130. Boy, I hope we can get that kid who we
talked to yesterday on the walkie-talkie.
Copy !req
131. We said we'd call
him back at 4:00.
Copy !req
132. Calling W6XRL4.
Copy !req
133. Come in, Earth. Come in, Earth.
Copy !req
134. This is Mars. I've got
them! I've got them!
Copy !req
135. Are you trying to
tell me that's Mars?
Copy !req
136. It's not the weather report.
Copy !req
137. Hello, Mars? This is W6XRL4.
Copy !req
138. Where are you?
Copy !req
139. We have just penetrated
through substratosphere...
Copy !req
140. and made our first
landing on Earth. Over.
Copy !req
141. They're here! They're here!
Copy !req
142. They-They've landed
on Earth! All right.
Copy !req
143. All right, Herman.
Don't get so excited.
Copy !req
144. It's only people from Mars.
Copy !req
145. People from Mars?
Copy !req
146. Grandpa! Grandpa!
Copy !req
147. Don't go away.
I'll be right back.
Copy !req
148. Grandpa. Grandpa. Grandpa.
Copy !req
149. Will you wake up, you dummy!
Copy !req
150. We're making history.
Copy !req
151. Hello. Hello.
Copy !req
152. Come in, Earth. Come in, Earth.
Copy !req
153. I guess somethin' happened
to our friend from Earth.
Copy !req
154. Maybe the kid's parents made
him go take a bath or somethin'.
Copy !req
155. Aw, let's come back after supper.
Maybe we can get him then.
Copy !req
156. You really think it's a kid?
Copy !req
157. He must be. He sounds so stupid.
Copy !req
158. Now, Grandpa, Grandpa.
Copy !req
159. You heard them.
Copy !req
160. They're men from Mars,
and they've landed on Earth.
Copy !req
161. We have to go
call the air force.
Copy !req
162. They have a department that
checks on unidentified flying objects.
Copy !req
163. Not so fast, Herman. We can't
just go and call the air force.
Copy !req
164. You want 'em to think
we're a couple of nuts?
Copy !req
165. Oh. Heavens, no.
Copy !req
166. Before we call the air force, we
have to have concrete evidence.
Copy !req
167. But where are we
gonna get evidence?
Copy !req
168. All we have to go by
is a voice on the radio.
Copy !req
169. Don't worry, Herman. I'll find that
spaceship with my direction finder.
Copy !req
170. Come on.
Copy !req
171. I've got it in here somewhere.
Copy !req
172. Let me see. What
do we have here?
Copy !req
173. Oh. A rabbit's foot
carried by General Custer.
Copy !req
174. Mother's Day card
from Lizzie Borden.
Copy !req
175. Compass off the Titanic.
Copy !req
176. Ah! Here it is!
Copy !req
177. Yeah!
Copy !req
178. My radio direction
finder. Direction finder?
Copy !req
179. Grandpa, that's just an
old-fashioned divining rod.
Copy !req
180. True, true. But I had it
transistorized last month.
Copy !req
181. Grandpa. Yeah?
Copy !req
182. If we find this spaceship,
Copy !req
183. you and I will be
famous all over the world.
Copy !req
184. Hey, Mom.
Copy !req
185. How come Grandpa and Dad
aren't having dinner with us?
Copy !req
186. Well, Grandpa said they had to go
out tonight on important business.
Copy !req
187. But Grandpa didn't
even take his shovel.
Copy !req
188. Something's up, Aunt Lily.
They weren't their usual selves.
Copy !req
189. They looked very strange
when they went out.
Copy !req
190. I don't know what's the matter,
Copy !req
191. but Herman's been acting funny
ever since he got that ham radio set.
Copy !req
192. Oh, but he does need a
hobby. He works hard all week.
Copy !req
193. That's true, Marilyn.
Copy !req
194. You know, Herman
took up golf once,
Copy !req
195. but he had so much trouble
getting together a foursome.
Copy !req
196. Hey, Mom, maybe Dad's out
playing poker with some men.
Copy !req
197. When he comes home, you'll have to
yell at him and make him sleep on the sofa.
Copy !req
198. - Eddie. Where do you get
ideas like that?
- From television.
Copy !req
199. You see, Marilyn, it's
just the way I told you.
Copy !req
200. Those shows on
television about horrible
Copy !req
201. families have a definite
effect on children.
Copy !req
202. Grandpa, we've been following
that divining rod for over an hour now,
Copy !req
203. and we haven't
seen a Martian yet.
Copy !req
204. Don't worry, Herman. We'll find
that spaceship before the night's over.
Copy !req
205. Well, I certainly hope so.
Copy !req
206. The only thing it's led us to so far
is a shortwave diathermy machine.
Copy !req
207. That lady looked very upset when
she saw us peering in her window.
Copy !req
208. Will you stop worrying, Herman? She'll
be down off the chandelier before morning.
Copy !req
209. Look, Herman! It's
found something.
Copy !req
210. You see? I told you it'd work.
Copy !req
211. Grandpa, they're
down there. Right.
Copy !req
212. The Martians are
hiding down there.
Copy !req
213. Hi, Martians. Are
you down there?
Copy !req
214. You big dummy!
Copy !req
215. Why didn't you tell me
it was set for "Water"?
Copy !req
216. What are ya squawking about? You
could've got a face full of scrap iron.
Copy !req
217. Calling W6XRL4.
Copy !req
218. This is spaceship X-14.
Copy !req
219. Would somebody come in?
Copy !req
220. Would somebody
please come in? Please?
Copy !req
221. Gee, Rog, I wonder
where that other kid is.
Copy !req
222. He hasn't been on
the air since 4:00.
Copy !req
223. Maybe he's a little shrimp
and can't stay out this late.
Copy !req
224. Let's keep on trying
for a little while longer.
Copy !req
225. Hey, Herman. We're
getting something.
Copy !req
226. Look. It's over here. Oh, boy!
Copy !req
227. I hope it's not
another false alarm.
Copy !req
228. Come on.
Copy !req
229. Look! Herman, a spaceship.
Copy !req
230. Grandpa.
Copy !req
231. We're making history.
Copy !req
232. We're Galileo, Columbus and
David Susskind all rolled into one.
Copy !req
233. Look, Herman. There are
two Martians by the ship,
Copy !req
234. and look how little they are.
Copy !req
235. Just like in the comic strips.
Copy !req
236. Come on. We'll welcome
them to planet Earth.
Copy !req
237. Hello there!
Copy !req
238. Ahoy, Martians!
Copy !req
239. Go! Go!
Copy !req
240. They ran away.
Copy !req
241. I guess they're just not
used to Earth people,
Copy !req
242. but can you imagine
anyone being afraid of us?
Copy !req
243. Well, maybe their standards
of beauty aren't as high as ours.
Copy !req
244. Grandpa. What?
Copy !req
245. I'm getting scared.
Copy !req
246. Those Martians might come back
with a ray gun and disintegrate us.
Copy !req
247. I'd feel like a perfect
fool if they did.
Copy !req
248. Let's at least get some
concrete evidence.
Copy !req
249. We'll take a picture of the ship
we can show to the air force.
Copy !req
250. Good idea.
Copy !req
251. Say "cheese."
Copy !req
252. Will you knock it off
and take the picture!
Copy !req
253. "Cheese."
Copy !req
254. Hmm.
Copy !req
255. And you say you and your
son-in-law took this photo last night.
Copy !req
256. That's right, Captain.
Copy !req
257. You see, he's been in voice communication
with Mars for the past few days.
Copy !req
258. You mean he's been talking
to the little people up there.
Copy !req
259. Yes. He has a ham radio.
Copy !req
260. A radio. That must
have made it a lot easier.
Copy !req
261. Oh, of course. As soon as the Martians
told us that they were going to land,
Copy !req
262. I got out my divining rod
to help track them down.
Copy !req
263. You have a divining rod.
Yes, and it's transistorized.
Copy !req
264. All I have to do is
set it for "Martians,"
Copy !req
265. and it led us to their
spaceship on a vacant lot.
Copy !req
266. There were two little men there,
Copy !req
267. and, as soon as they
saw us, they ran away.
Copy !req
268. I wonder why.
Copy !req
269. You see, I don't know either,
Copy !req
270. but we felt it our patriotic duty to bring
it to the attention of the government.
Copy !req
271. Well, I can't tell you how much
we appreciate your coming in here...
Copy !req
272. and taking up
our time like this.
Copy !req
273. What? You mean that's it?
Copy !req
274. We discover a
spaceship and Martians,
Copy !req
275. and it's just "How do you
do, hello and good-bye"?
Copy !req
276. Oh, no. I can assure you that this photo
will be processed through proper channels.
Copy !req
277. Uh, Captain, if you don't mind,
this is very important to me.
Copy !req
278. - I'll wait outside.
- Excellent.
Copy !req
279. Sergeant, come in, please.
Copy !req
280. Aunt Lily, that was Uncle
Herman's boss on the phone.
Copy !req
281. They're looking for
him down at work.
Copy !req
282. He didn't even go to
work today, Marilyn.
Copy !req
283. He's playing with
that ham radio again.
Copy !req
284. They said they were taking
inventory down at the parlor,
Copy !req
285. and Uncle Herman's the only
one who knows where things are.
Copy !req
286. Hello? This is W6XRL4
calling spaceship X-14.
Copy !req
287. Come in, please.
Come in, please.
Copy !req
288. X-14, X-14.
Copy !req
289. Come in, come in,
wherever you are.
Copy !req
290. We were standin' here
playing Martian last night, Pop,
Copy !req
291. and those two big
guys came along.
Copy !req
292. They had on real scary
masks and yelled at us,
Copy !req
293. and one of them was
carrying a big stick.
Copy !req
294. Why, they oughta be
ashamed of themselves.
Copy !req
295. One thing I can't stand
is a wise guy bully.
Copy !req
296. Listen, Roger, I want...
Copy !req
297. Calling X-14. Come in, please.
Copy !req
298. Come in, please.
That's the guy now, Pop.
Copy !req
299. Here, give me that thing.
Copy !req
300. Hello. This is X-14.
Copy !req
301. Oh, I'm so very glad I got you.
Copy !req
302. It was very rude of you
to run away last night.
Copy !req
303. Look, who is this?
Copy !req
304. Why, I'm W6XRL4,
one of the Earth people.
Copy !req
305. You sound very, uh, big.
Copy !req
306. Are you the head Martian?
Copy !req
307. Yeah, I'm the head Martian. You
know what I'm gonna do, buster?
Copy !req
308. If I ever run into you, I'm gonna break
your arm off and shove it down your throat!
Copy !req
309. Hmm.
Copy !req
310. Well-Well, you just
can't do that, Mr. Martian,
Copy !req
311. because you don't
know where I am.
Copy !req
312. So there.
Copy !req
313. Well, in that case, I guess I'll just
have to blow up the planet Earth.
Copy !req
314. Oh, my goodness!
Copy !req
315. Lily! Lily! Lily!
Copy !req
316. The world's coming to an end.
Copy !req
317. And it's... And
it's all my fault.
Copy !req
318. There, there, dear.
Copy !req
319. Herman? Lily?
Copy !req
320. Is anybody home?
Copy !req
321. Marilyn?
Copy !req
322. Herman, what are you doing?
Grandpa, the world's coming to an end,
Copy !req
323. and we're hiding
out till it's over.
Copy !req
324. Herman, will you
let us out of here!
Copy !req
325. He keeps talking about men from Mars
blowing up the world. It's true, Grandpa.
Copy !req
326. While you were out, I
talked to the head Martian,
Copy !req
327. and he got mad at me
and started calling me
Copy !req
328. names and said he was
gonna blow up the world.
Copy !req
329. Herman, will you pipe
down a minute and listen?
Copy !req
330. That was no spaceship we found.
Copy !req
331. The air force identified
it as a child's toy...
Copy !req
332. sold in every department store.
Copy !req
333. And those two Martians
we saw? It wasn't them.
Copy !req
334. It was two kids
playing spacemen.
Copy !req
335. - You're kidding.
- Kidding?
Copy !req
336. Look.
Copy !req
337. "Made in Japan"?
Copy !req
338. There you are, Herman.
Copy !req
339. No Martians, no spaceship,
no end of the world.
Copy !req
340. Now what do you
have to say for yourself?
Copy !req
341. Well, that's the way
the ball bounces.
Copy !req
342. What's this, a delegation?
Copy !req
343. We just came down here to
get you away from that radio.
Copy !req
344. That's right, Herman. It's
caused us nothing but trouble.
Copy !req
345. Don't worry. I'm just trying to
get some music so I can relax.
Copy !req
346. Maybe Lawrence Welk or someone.
Copy !req
347. But, Uncle Herman...
Copy !req
348. Come in, spaceport.
Come in, please.
Copy !req
349. This is spaceship
Astro-70 calling Mars.
Copy !req
