1. The Fever First Aired: 29 January 1960

2. You're traveling to another dimension.

3. A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind.

4. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination.

5. Next stop: The Twilight Zone

6. Well, Mr and Mrs Gibbs. - Hello, Mr Hansen.

7. Is your room comfortable? - Oh, it's just lovely.

8. You make us feel important. - You are important, Mrs Gibbs.

9. It isn't every day that we entertain celebrated contest winners.

10. No, not every day. Maybe every other day.

11. The photographer takes a picture of you for your hometown paper.

12. If you could just get a little bit closer together. And smile.

13. Okay, Joe. Ready? - Hold it.

14. This is so exciting. That's the Elgin Bugle, Mr Hansen.

15. How's that? - The Elgin Bugle. Our hometown paper.

16. Yes, of course. We'll send them out a copy right away.

17. Enjoy yourselves, and remember, you have unlimited credit.

18. Mr and Mrs Franklin Gibbs. Three days all expenses paid...

19. at a Las Vegas hotel. Won by virtue of Mrs Gibbs' knack with a phrase.

20. But unbeknownst to Mr or Mrs Gibbs they get a prize in their package...

21. neither expected nor bargained for.

22. In just a moment, one of them will succumb to an illness.

23. A most inoperative, life-shattering affliction known as 'The fever.'

24. Number ten.

25. Franklin, there is such a flavor to this place.

26. I can do without this flavor, Flora. You know how I feel about gambling.

27. This is different, though. - It is neither different nor moral.

28. Gambling is gambling. However, this is your vacation, Flora. You won it.

29. I must repeat to you what I've been saying all along:

30. It's a miserable, terrible, waste of time. But, it's what you wanted.

31. Try to enjoy it, won't you?

32. I won. I won the jackpot.

33. I won. Look, I won.

34. Just what do you think you're doing? - Well, it's only a nickel machine.

35. Why don't you just throw handfuls of nickles out into the street?

36. All right. We go to Las Vegas. We waste three days and two nights.

37. Because that is your idea of enjoying and it's not costing us anything.

38. But now you're spending money. You're just throwing it away.

39. Now I put my foot down. It's obvious that you are not mature...

40. Please, don't make a scene. I won't play. I promise you.

41. Franklin? The nickel's already in.

42. All right. Throw it away.

43. I'm not very lucky, am I?

44. I'm going back to the room, Flora.

45. Here you are, old boy. Here, wait a minute, you try it.

46. I'm one hour and 30 minutes on this miserable, money-grabbing...

47. Hold it. Here. You play. It's yours. Go ahead, play it.

48. No, really, I'm not interested.

49. All you have to do is put it in there. And pull the thing.

50. All right, sweetie, I'm coming. That's the little woman, you now.

51. Lots of luck, and I'll see you later. I'm coming, honey.

52. Oh, Franklin, you are lucky.

53. It wasn't even my dollar. That man gave it to me.

54. He made me put it in the machine.

55. Now you'll see the difference between a normal, mature man...

56. and these idiots around here. We'll put it in the room and take it home.

57. Of course, dear. - These baboons here throw it away.

58. They'd compulsively put it back in the machine.

59. But not the Gibbs. The Gibbs know the value of money.

60. Come, my dear. I want to shave before dinner.

61. Franklin!

62. Did you say something? - What?

63. Did you call my name? - Why, no, dear.

64. I thought I heard...

65. Franklin.

66. Franklin.

67. Franklin!

68. Franklin!

69. Franklin, is something the matter? - No, nothing is the matter.

70. Nothing, except that...

71. this is not the kind of money I like to keep. This is tainted, immoral.

72. No good can come from money won like this.

73. I'm going back and feed it back into the machine. And get rid of it.

74. Do you really think that... - Of course.

75. If there's one thing I know: It's morality.

76. And I will not have this tainted money smelling up our pockets.

77. I'm going back in there and I'm just going to get rid of it.

78. So, you go back to sleep, Flora.

79. It's terribly late. - I know it's late.

80. You stay right here. And don't let anyone else use this machine.

81. I'll be right back.

82. That's the third time you've cashed a check.

83. I know that. - You've spent a great deal of money.

84. I know that, too.

85. Don't you ought to stop now? - How can I stop?

86. I've lost a great deal of money. I've got to win it back.

87. What if you don't win it back? You've been standing here three hours.

88. Dear. You know how awful you feel in the morning...

89. after you've been up too late at night.

90. Will you kindly shut your mouth?

91. I hate a woman who stands in back of you...

92. and sees to it that you have miserable luck.

93. That's what you're doing. You're giving me miserable luck.

94. Please go away and leave me alone. - Please, people are listening.

95. The devil with people. I'm not concerned with people.

96. I'm concerned with this machine. It's in human.

97. The way it lets you win a little and then takes it all back.

98. It teases you.

99. It holds out promises and wheedles you. It sucks you in and then...

100. Franklin. - Go away.

101. Five hours. That's how long he's been there.

102. When they get hooked, they really get hooked, don't they?

103. Somebody get me a drink of water, please.

104. Franklin.

105. Flora, would you get me a drink of water?

106. I've almost got her licked now.

107. You see, 'Special jackpot, $10,000.'

108. You see? $10,000.

109. She's bound to turn up in a little while.

110. You just have to stick with her long enough.

111. Franklin. - What...?

112. What time is it? - It's 8:00 in the morning.

113. I swear to you. This machine mocks me.

114. It teases, beckons, mocks me.

115. Put in five, get back four.

116. Put in six, get back five.

117. But it's got to pay off, sooner or later, I tell you.

118. Give me back my dollar. That's my last dollar.

119. You miserable, dirty... Give me back my dollar.

120. Franklin. - Give me back my dollar.

121. We need a doctor. - It took my dollar.

122. It owes me a dollar. It took my dollar. That monster.

123. I want my dollar.

124. Darling?

125. Can't you sleep?

126. That machine... - Franklin.

127. That machine...

128. it was ready to pay off.

129. It deliberately broke down so it wouldn't have to.

130. It's not even a machine, Flora.

131. It's an entity. It's a thing with a mind and a will of its own.

132. It deliberately broke down.

133. That thing.

134. That monster. That thief.

135. It took my last silver dollar.

136. It stole my last silver dollar and broke down.

137. Franklin.

138. What's the matter, dear?

139. Franklin.

140. Franklin.

141. Come back to bed, Frank...

142. Franklin.

143. Franklin.

144. Franklin, what is the matter?

145. Franklin.

146. What is it?

147. It's chasing me. It's following me.

148. It's trying to get me.

149. What is? What?

150. There's nothing there.

151. Franklin.

152. There's nothing here, Franklin. Believe me, there's nothing here.

153. Franklin.

154. Franklin. Franklin.

155. Franklin.

156. His wife said he hadn't slept for 24 hours.

157. I've seen a lot of them get hooked before, but never like him.

158. There's a stretcher coming. It'll be here in a few minutes.

159. All right, everybody, let's get back to bed. The show's over.

160. Let's go. Let's get out of here.

161. Mr Franklin Gibbs, visitor to Las Vegas...

162. who lost his money, his reason, and finally, his life...

163. to an inanimate metal machine...

164. Variously described as a 'One-armed bandit'...

165. a 'Slot machine' or in Mr Franklin Gibbs' words:

166. 'A monster with a will all its own.'

167. For our purposes we'll stick with the latter definition. Because...

168. we're in The Twilight Zone.
