1. There is a fifth dimension
beyond that which is known to man.
Copy !req
2. It is a dimension as vast as space
and as timeless as infinity.
Copy !req
3. It is the middle ground
between light and shadow,
Copy !req
4. between science
and superstition,
Copy !req
5. and it lies between
the pit of man's fears
Copy !req
6. and the summit
of his knowledge.
Copy !req
7. This is the dimension
of imagination.
Copy !req
8. It is an area which we call
The Twilight Zone.
Copy !req
9. Let's see you
pay for your drink
Copy !req
10. in your own
inimitable fashion, huh?
Copy !req
11. A song, Denton.
Copy !req
12. How about it?
Copy !req
13. How dry I...
Come on now. Come on.
Copy !req
14. Come on, Denton.
Copy !req
15. Get up.
Copy !req
16. Come on, Denton.
Copy !req
17. How dry I am
Copy !req
18. How dry I am
Copy !req
19. Charlie, can't you break that up?
Nobody knows
Copy !req
20. I don't like it any
more than you do.
Copy !req
21. The misery they give
that guy out there.
Copy !req
22. How dry I am
Copy !req
23. Nobody cares
Copy !req
24. How dry I am
Copy !req
25. Come on, let's go in
and have some music, men.
Copy !req
26. Portrait of a town drunk
named Al Denton.
Copy !req
27. This is a man who's begun
his dying early.
Copy !req
28. A long, agonizing route
through a maze of bottles.
Copy !req
29. Al Denton,
Copy !req
30. who would probably give an arm
or a leg or a part of his soul
Copy !req
31. to have another chance.
Copy !req
32. To be able to rise up and
shake the dirt from his body
Copy !req
33. and the bad dreams
that infest his consciousness.
Copy !req
34. In the parlance of the times,
Copy !req
35. this is a peddler.
Copy !req
36. A rather fanciful-looking
little man
Copy !req
37. in a black frock coat.
Copy !req
38. And this is the third principal
character of our story.
Copy !req
39. Its function,
Copy !req
40. perhaps to give Mr. Al Denton
Copy !req
41. his second chance.
Copy !req
42. How are you doing, Al?
Copy !req
43. How are you doing,
Miss Smith?
Copy !req
44. You packing a gun now?
Copy !req
45. Well, this isn't mine.
Copy !req
46. I found it right over there.
Copy !req
47. Somebody must it dropped.
Copy !req
48. You were pretty good with
a gun in your day, weren't you?
Copy !req
49. That was a long time ago,
Miss smith.
Copy !req
50. Well, you know something?
Copy !req
51. This is the first time
I've held a gun since...
Copy !req
52. I can't remember
how long it's been.
Copy !req
53. Too much of that, isn't it?
Copy !req
54. Yep.
Copy !req
55. Why, Al?
Copy !req
56. Why do you have to
drink so much?
Copy !req
57. I really don't know.
Copy !req
58. I just got the habit
one day and kept to it.
Copy !req
59. Wait a minute, boys.
Copy !req
60. Here we go again, fellas.
Copy !req
61. Let's hear our
little songbird.
Copy !req
62. Hey, Denton!
Copy !req
63. Three choruses of
"How dry I am."
Copy !req
64. Let's hear it!
Copy !req
65. Al, don't do it.
Copy !req
66. He'll give me a drink,
Miss smith.
Copy !req
67. The devil with him.
I can give you one too
Copy !req
68. and you won't have
to do that for it.
Copy !req
69. How dry I am
Copy !req
70. How dry I am
Copy !req
71. Nobody knows
Copy !req
72. How dry I...
Copy !req
73. All right. Come on, rummy.
go on and get your drink.
Copy !req
74. You've been a good boy.
Copy !req
75. Wait a minute, Denton.
Copy !req
76. Hey, gunner! Hey,
Copy !req
77. where did you
get the artillery?
Copy !req
78. I... found it
Copy !req
79. I found it right over
there in the street.
Copy !req
80. Is that a fact?
Copy !req
81. Bet it's a long time since
you used one of those, rummy?
Copy !req
82. Yeah, a long time.
Copy !req
83. Maybe you could use it now.
Copy !req
84. Yeah. Maybe you could even outdraw me.
Copy !req
85. No, I wouldn't know
how to use it anymore.
Copy !req
86. Let's see you try. Come on.
You and me will draw.
Copy !req
87. All right, cut it out.
It's not funny anymore.
Copy !req
88. Get away, Liz. We're
having a showdown here.
Copy !req
89. Come on, gunner.
Copy !req
90. Oh, Dan, stop it!
Copy !req
91. - Dan, Liz is right.
- Go on back to the bar, Charlie.
Copy !req
92. Can't you see we got
private business here?
Copy !req
93. Listen, Dan.
Copy !req
94. Come on.
Copy !req
95. Come on out here.
Copy !req
96. Come on, rummy.
Copy !req
97. Come on!
Copy !req
98. I'm going to give you
a break, rummy.
Copy !req
99. I'm going to do it
left-handed.
Copy !req
100. Miss smith, tell him.
Copy !req
101. Please tell him, please.
Copy !req
102. Miss smith.
Explain to him...
Copy !req
103. Miss smith.
Copy !req
104. Please tell him it was an accident.
I don't want any trouble.
Copy !req
105. - Mr. Hotaling.
- More like shooting, Al.
Copy !req
106. Come in and get a drink.
It's on the house.
Copy !req
107. Did you get your eye back, Al?
You been practicing or something?
Copy !req
108. I ain't seen shooting like that.
Since I don't know when.
Copy !req
109. Against Hotaling too.
Copy !req
110. It isn't even mine.
Copy !req
111. Drinks on the house!
Copy !req
112. Hey, rummy!
Copy !req
113. Face me, Denton!
Copy !req
114. It was an accident, Mr. Hotaling.
Copy !req
115. I'm gonna get this
right in your stomach.
Copy !req
116. Dan, give him a break.
Copy !req
117. I didn't mean to...
Copy !req
118. I didn't even mean to...
Copy !req
119. I didn't even mean to...
Copy !req
120. Mr. Denton, maybe you'd let us buy you a drink.
Copy !req
121. What did you call me?
Copy !req
122. Uh, I didn't mean
no offense.
Copy !req
123. I just asked you
what you called me.
Copy !req
124. Nothing. Nothing, Mr. Denton.
I didn't call you anything.
Copy !req
125. That's what you
called me. Mr. Denton.
Copy !req
126. He called me
mister, Charlie.
Copy !req
127. Here you are, Al.
Copy !req
128. No, thanks.
Copy !req
129. I've had enough.
Copy !req
130. I think I'll go out and get a shave.
Copy !req
131. And don't call me rummy anymore!
Copy !req
132. Al!
Copy !req
133. I think everything's gonna be
all right now. Understand?
Copy !req
134. Charlie says you're as good with
a gun now as you ever were.
Copy !req
135. That's what Charlie
says, huh?
Copy !req
136. I was good.
Copy !req
137. I was real good.
Copy !req
138. I was so good
that once a day
Copy !req
139. someone would ride into
town to make me prove it.
Copy !req
140. And every morning
Copy !req
141. I'd start my drinking
a few minutes earlier
Copy !req
142. until one morning
Copy !req
143. the guy who asked me to prove
it turned out to be 16 years old.
Copy !req
144. I left him there on his face
Copy !req
145. right there
in front of the saloon.
Copy !req
146. I left him there, bleeding to
death with my bullet in him.
Copy !req
147. I guess it'll start
all over again now.
Copy !req
148. Every fast and fancy man
who owns a gun
Copy !req
149. will come riding in
down that street.
Copy !req
150. Only this time,
it'll be me face down
Copy !req
151. bleeding to death.
Copy !req
152. I think I'll go in
and get a shave.
Copy !req
153. I want to look proper
on the day I die.
Copy !req
154. The Twilight Zone
S01E03 Mr. Denton On Doomsday
Copy !req
155. A tall man.
Copy !req
156. Doesn't usually
wear his gun.
Copy !req
157. Blond hair.
Copy !req
158. Who does that describe?
Copy !req
159. It describes a man
named Al Denton.
Copy !req
160. He supposed to
be top gun here.
Copy !req
161. Would that be you?
Copy !req
162. That would be me.
Copy !req
163. I got a message
for you, Denton,
Copy !req
164. coming from Pete Grant.
Copy !req
165. Well, let's hear the message.
Copy !req
166. He'll be in town
tomorrow night at 10:00.
Copy !req
167. He'll meet you
over in the saloon.
Copy !req
168. You tell him,
Copy !req
169. you tell him
there's no call.
Copy !req
170. Tell Mr. Grant I'll be there tomorrow night.
Copy !req
171. I'll wait for his pleasure.
Copy !req
172. It's just what it'll be.
Copy !req
173. It didn't take any time at all.
Copy !req
174. Just time enough
for one shave.
Copy !req
175. Evening, Mr. Denton.
Copy !req
176. I can't use anything.
Copy !req
177. How's that?
Copy !req
178. I can't use anything.
Copy !req
179. You're a peddler, aren't you?
Copy !req
180. Oh, yes.
Dealer in everything.
Copy !req
181. Utensils, herbs, medicine,
Copy !req
182. liniments and tonics.
Copy !req
183. Farm implements,
Copy !req
184. clothing,
Copy !req
185. and potions.
Copy !req
186. Oh, yes. Potions.
Copy !req
187. Kind of a sideline,
you might say.
Copy !req
188. Fate's the name.
Henry J. Fate.
Copy !req
189. And you're Al Denton.
And you're running away.
Copy !req
190. You shouldn't,
you know.
Copy !req
191. You shouldn't run away.
Copy !req
192. I shouldn't.
Copy !req
193. Yeah. I guess you're right.
Copy !req
194. I shouldn't run away.
Copy !req
195. I should stay here
and get shot to death.
Copy !req
196. I guess that's what I should do.
Copy !req
197. Curse this thing.
Copy !req
198. Curse the moment I found it.
Copy !req
199. No, no, no.
Copy !req
200. Don't curse it,
Mr. Denton. Use it.
Copy !req
201. Here.
Copy !req
202. This is one of my potions.
Copy !req
203. You might call it that,
or an elixir.
Copy !req
204. Either way, it'll help solve
your problem, Mr. Denton.
Copy !req
205. I call that my
fast gun developer.
Copy !req
206. Man who drinks that becomes
the fastest of the fast.
Copy !req
207. You'll be able to shoot a hole
through a sliver dollar in mid-air
Copy !req
208. at a hundred feet or better
without even aiming.
Copy !req
209. It's guaranteed to
last for 10 seconds.
Copy !req
210. 10 seconds?
Copy !req
211. And after that?
Copy !req
212. Well, after that,
the user's on his own.
Copy !req
213. Here. Try it.
Copy !req
214. Well, test the merchandise,
so to speak. Go ahead.
Copy !req
215. Proof of the pudding.
Copy !req
216. Go ahead. Drink it.
Copy !req
217. There's your target,
Mr. Denton.
Copy !req
218. Go ahead.
Draw on it.
Copy !req
219. Draw on it!
Copy !req
220. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
Copy !req
221. There you go, Mr. Denton.
Copy !req
222. Now that gun probably
wouldn't be anymore use to you
Copy !req
223. than a bottle
would be to a bull.
Copy !req
224. Drink this. A few seconds
after 10:00 in the night.
Copy !req
225. Just at the moment
Mr. Grant walks into the saloon.
Copy !req
226. How much do I owe you?
Copy !req
227. Oh, there's no charge for this.
Copy !req
228. You might call this...
Copy !req
229. just a service.
That's what it is.
Copy !req
230. Just a service
of Henry J. Fate.
Copy !req
231. Just so you might
remember sometime
Copy !req
232. the night fate stepped in.
Copy !req
233. You want a drink, Al?
Copy !req
234. How about you, doc?
Copy !req
235. That would be Grant.
Copy !req
236. You Denton?
Copy !req
237. That's right.
Copy !req
238. I hear you're
supposed to be fast.
Copy !req
239. You got a good
chance to find out.
Copy !req
240. I aim to.
Copy !req
241. Step away from the bar,
please, Mr. Denton.
Copy !req
242. And draw.
Copy !req
243. This is a push, boys.
No winner.
Copy !req
244. Yeah, you won't be shooting
anymore with that hand, Al.
Copy !req
245. Not anymore.
Copy !req
246. Couple of fingers
are going to be stiff, too.
Copy !req
247. But that don't make
any difference.
Copy !req
248. The way you stood up there,
Copy !req
249. that will be something to
tell your grandchildren about.
Copy !req
250. And the way it looks now,
you'll live to have some.
Copy !req
251. Just like me.
Copy !req
252. You'll never be able to
fire a gun again in anger.
Copy !req
253. You're blessed, son.
Copy !req
254. We've both been blessed.
Copy !req
255. He's lucky.
Copy !req
256. He learned it early.
Copy !req
257. Did you get him, Pete?
Copy !req
258. No more than he got me.
Copy !req
259. Mr. Henry Fate,
Copy !req
260. dealer in utensils and pots and
pans, liniments and potions.
Copy !req
261. A fanciful little man
in a black frock coat
Copy !req
262. who can help a man
climbing out of a pit
Copy !req
263. or another man
from falling into one.
Copy !req
264. Because, you see,
fate can work that way
Copy !req
265. in The Twilight Zone.
Copy !req
266. Rod Serling,
the creator of Twilight Zone
Copy !req
267. will tell you about
next week's story
Copy !req
268. after this word from
our alternate sponsor.
Copy !req
269. And now, Mr. Serling.
Copy !req
270. This motion picture
projector and this film
Copy !req
271. provide a background
on next week's story
Copy !req
272. when a most
distinguished actress
Copy !req
273. takes a journey into
The Twilight Zone.
Copy !req
274. Miss Ida Lupino stars in
The 16 Millimeter Shrine,
Copy !req
275. a haunting story of
a haunted woman
Copy !req
276. that I think you'll find
interesting and perhaps shocking.
Copy !req
277. We hope you'll join us then.
Thank you and good night.
Copy !req
278. Be sure to see the
fun filled family life
Copy !req
279. of one of a America's
greatest entertainers,
Copy !req
280. The Danny Thomas Show
Copy !req
281. Monday nights over
most of these stations.
Copy !req
