2. You're traveling through another dimension

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

4. a journey into a wondrous land

5. whose boundaries are that of imagination.

6. That's the signpost up ahead.

7. Your next stop, the twilight zone.

8. All right, lance, move away from the bar.

9. I've had all I can take of you.

10. Whatever you say, father.

11. When you were a boy, you hated your brother...

12. your move, professor.

13. How's that?

14. It's your move.

15. Oh, yes, of course.

16. You are filled with hatred, lance...

17. that's my piece, you're black.

18. Rebellion of youth...

19. oh, yes, yes.

20. You're a man.

21. You're going to have to face up to...

22. very good, very good job.

23. Green, green cool grass.

24. The touch, the smell of green, cool grass.

25. Now, brought to you for the first time

26. in green, the new chlorophyll cigarette.

27. The smoke that doesn't smell like tobacco

28. but smells good- green, cool

29. like grass.

30. Yes, green is brought to you...

31. what's the matter with you, professor?

32. What's the matter with all you people?

33. Are you hypnotized or something?

34. Going out of your blessed minds?

35. If you don't care for our program, mr. Lindsay

36. you can request a different channel.

37. What difference does that make, what channel you got?

38. The new chlorophyll cigarette can make that statement.

39. And it's 54, termite jones...

40. termite jones, my hero...

41. termite jones.

42. He makes it, you...

43. the prettiest song in the world.

44. Isn't that wonderful?

45. Just ruining it, completely ruining a beautiful song...

46. If you act now, you can get your acreage in splendor flats

47. for the fantastically unbelievable price

48. of 25 cents an acre a week.

49. Just look at this land, folks.

50. It's flat, it's gray, it's undeveloped, but...

51. it's undeveloped, but...

52. it will be a veritable oasis...

53. a verit...

54. an oasis, yes.

55. Only green, the new green...

56. oh, yes, let's all roll in the grass

57. the green, cool hills of grass.

58. 25 operators just waiting to take your call, folks.

59. Hey, mr. Lindsay, what's that?

60. That's a radio, boy.

61. Yeah, what's it do?

62. Don't you know what a radio is, boy?

63. Well, sure, but I've never seen one like that before.

64. No one ever saw one quite like that.

65. Because that's a very special sort of radio.

66. In its day, circa 1935

67. its type was one of the most elegant consoles on the market.

68. Now, with its fabric-covered speakers

69. its peculiar yellow dial, its serrated knobs

70. it looks quaint and a little strange.

71. Mr. Ed lindsay is going to find out how strange very soon

72. when he tunes in to the twilight zone.

73. Careful of that door. That's it.

74. We're going to take it up these steps here, boy.

75. Well, what do you got there, ed?

76. What's it look like?

77. A radio.

78. Now let's put it down here.

79. Put it down, boy.

80. I remember that.

81. I thought you'd thrown it out years ago.

82. I never throw anything away that's worth keeping.

83. Need any help, ed?

84. Oh, no, no, no.

85. I wouldn't, I wouldn't want to disturb you, professor.

86. Pick it up by the legs, boy.

87. That's it. Now, careful.

88. Take it right. That's it. That's it, boy.

89. Right up here. That's it, boy.

90. Got to plug it in here.

91. Think it still works?

92. Sure. Course it works.

93. They made things to last in those days.

94. That's pretty wonderful, all right.

95. Go buy yourself a switchblade.

96. And so, ladies and gentlemen

97. with the strains of "getting sentimental over you"

98. tommy dorsey and his orchestra

99. bid you all a very pleasant good night

100. direct from the princeton campus

101. in a broadcast of the summer swing festival

102. and listen to that applause.

103. But before we sign off, we invite you to stay tuned

104. for major bowes and his famous amateur hour.

105. This is station wpda in cedarburg, new jersey

106. returning you to...

107. good evening, friends.

108. Once again, the wheel of chance

109. or faith, as you please, is about to revolve.

110. And as the barker standing at the wheel of fortune

111. says, "around, around she goes

112. "and where she stops, nobody knows."

113. Now, does anybody know what will happen

114. when these young people...

115. well, what do you want?

116. I just thought you'd like to know that dinner's ready.

117. I ain't hungry.

118. You know how mrs. Nielson feels about...

119. oh, all right, all right, all right.

120. Ever since I can remember, women have been running my life.

121. Now do this, do that,

122. come to dinner, don't come to dinner...

123. frankly, mr. Lindsay, I don't care whether you starve to death.

124. I just want to make sure that it's on purpose

125. and not because you'd forgotten that food is available.

126. I'm not that old yet.

127. Mr. Lindsay.

128. What?

129. You're humming at table.

130. What was that, anyway?

131. What?

132. That melody, it went, um...

133. it's called "I'm getting sentimental over you."

134. I heard it on the radio this afternoon.

135. That's an old tune, isn't it?

136. Yeah, tommy dorsey, they-

137. playing it direct from the...

138. direct?

139. Tommy dorsey's dead.

140. You don't say.

141. Yeah, he died a few years ago.

142. What about major bowes?

143. Who?

144. Major bowes.

145. Never heard of him.

146. No, you wouldn't.

147. Well, he's dead, too.

148. I heard both major bowes and tommy dorsey this afternoon

149. on the radio.

150. Couldn't be.

151. Couldn't be?

152. How is it a man with such a tiny brain

153. could have such a big mouth?

154. Now, wait just a minute...

155. now, please, mr. Bragg

156. I think what mr. Lindsay means

157. or what he's trying to say

158. is that a local radio station was broadcasting recordings

159. of some of the old programs.

160. They didn't have tape back in those days.

161. No, but they did have wire, and before that, disks.

162. I'll tell you what else they had-

163. good music, hmm, professor?

164. Plays that meant something, magic, real magic...

165. I doubt it.

166. You doubt it.

167. Mr. Bragg doubts it.

168. Mr. Bragg, who watches television

169. until his brain turns into oatmeal

170. and his eyes roll down his face into his beer-

171. mr. Bragg, the modern man, doubts it.

172. Well, I'll show you, I'll show you.

173. Where's that portable radio?

174. Really, mr. Lindsay...

175. where is that portable radio? In the kitchen.

176. Now, that guy's nuts, that's all. He's nuts.

177. Oh, miss brown,

178. you can thank your lucky stars you never married that man.

179. Now, mr. Bragg, we'll show you.

180. We'll just prove it, right here, right in here.

181. Well, it was right in here.

182. I'm sorry, I can't wait.

183. Gunfireis on in exactly four minutes.

184. Gunfire, we can't miss that.

185. Ed, remember what station it was?

186. The station? No, I, I...

187. yes, yes, you know, the announcer said something

188. about... station wpda, that it...

189. what can you expect on a dinky little radio like this, hmm?

190. Why don't you come up to my room?

191. Listen to it on a real radio.

192. Come on.

193. Come on, professor.

194. Let's go up, vinnie.

195. I'd like to hear that program.

196. Well, it certainly is a handsome thing.

197. Can't seem to get it.

198. Maybe they're having transmitting trouble.

199. Why don't we phone the station?

200. That's a good idea.

201. That's an excellent idea.

202. Let's get hold of information and find out...

203. here, ed.

204. Thank you, professor.

205. Information, would you please give me the number of wpda?

206. That's a radio station.

207. Wpda, yes, yes.

208. Heard major bowes.

209. You remember major bowes, hmm?

210. "Round and round she goes, and...

211. and where she stops..."

212. uh, uh, yes... yes.

213. Oh?

214. Oh.

215. Well, what'd she say?

216. Oh, the operator said according to her supervisor

217. that wpda had been out of business for 13 years.

218. Well, maybe you had some other state

219. or even another country.

220. This thing has shortwave, doesn't it?

221. Uh, but the announcer said, uh, cedarburg, cedarburg...

222. maybe it's...

223. it isn't listed in the radio section.

224. I heard it.

225. I heard it, I know I did.

226. Professor, is it so impossible?

227. Impossible?

228. Well, that's a dangerous sort of a word

229. to use nowadays, vinnie.

230. We take things for granted today

231. that we called impossible just a few years ago.

232. Let's call it highly unlikely.

233. Then what did I hear?

234. I don't know, ed.

235. Ed...

236. professor...

237. do you really think he heard those programs?

238. Well, vinnie

239. I believe he thinks he did.

240. Now, we take you directly to the white house

241. in washington, do, for an address by the president

242. of the united states, franklin delano roosevelt.

243. Since my annual message to the congress on january 4 last

244. I have not addressed the general public over the air.

245. In the many weeks since that time,

246. the congress has devoted its...

247. professor! Professor!

248. Vinnie! Vinnie! I've got it.

249. I've really got it. Come quick. Quick.

250. Why bother? You won't hear nothing but static.

251. Oh, professor, don't encourage that poor man.

252. Yeah, but...

253. oh, he's gone completely psychological.

254. Oh, my.

255. Well, I'm sorry, I've lost it.

256. It was tommy dorsey.

257. He was playing "I'm getting sentimental over you."

258. It was soft and slow, real pretty.

259. But I've lost it.

260. Why do I lose it every time somebody else comes around?

261. Why, professor?

262. Well, you just keep on trying, ed.

263. We're bound to hear it eventually.

264. Sure, sure...

265. we're, we're bound to...

266. bound to hear it.

267. What do you want?

268. Oh, nothing, ed.

269. I just thought we might talk.

270. Do you mind?

271. No, talk away, just don't come too close.

272. I might start climbing the walls

273. barking like a dog.

274. That's what you all think.

275. "Poor old ed, he's gone ding-dong."

276. No, that's not what I think.

277. If you'll sit down and be quiet

278. I'll tell you what I think.

279. Sure, I'll... I'll sit.

280. Right now, ed lindsay

281. you're just about the meanest, sourest

282. most cantankerous old man on the face of the earth.

283. Thanks.

284. And I'm not much better.

285. We've been living like two hermits

286. under the same roof for the last 20 years.

287. Staring at each other every morning

288. day in, day out

289. 20 long years, wondering what went wrong.

290. I don't know what you're talking about...

291. oh, yes, you do.

292. You know exactly what I'm talking about

293. but you won't admit it.

294. We were going to be married...

295. oh, for heaven's sake...

296. don't get your back up.

297. I'm not trying to change anything.

298. I'm just talking.

299. We met in this boarding house in 1940.

300. And it was here that you proposed.

301. I wanted to set the date

302. but your mother was ill, you remember

303. and so you decided to wait.

304. And that's just what we did.

305. We waited and waited

306. until, by the time your mother died...

307. it was too late.

308. Vinnie, I'm not going to listen to...

309. don't interrupt me.

310. I've got to get this thing said.

311. Oh, I know you don't care anything about me now.

312. I'm just a silly woman who watches television

313. dyes her hair, grows old.

314. You don't even... like me anymore.

315. And I don't blame you.

316. You're a bachelor set in your ways.

317. You can't change what you are

318. and neither can I.

319. We had our chance and missed it, ed.

320. But I'll tell you one thing that's true

321. and I know it's true.

322. You did love me

323. as much as a man ever loved a woman.

324. Didn't you?

325. Yes, vinnie.

326. That's true. I did, yes.

327. And now you love what we were

328. what we might have become together.

329. So just about this time every year-

330. it would have been our anniversary-

331. you start getting unhappy.

332. You want to go back to 1940

333. and start all over again.

334. Why do you think you keep hearing

335. "getting sentimental over you" on the radio?

336. That was our song, ed.

337. And those programs-

338. we used to listen to them together...

339. in the dark.

340. I'd forgotten.

341. When you hear those programs

342. you're like a young man again

343. with all of your life ahead of you

344. but it isn't so, ed.

345. It's all over between us.

346. We missed our chance.

347. We can't go back.

348. You think it's all in my mind, don't you?

349. You think I'm just imagining...

350. ed.

351. that I hear the radio.

352. That's not true at all.

353. Get out of here, vinnie.

354. Get out of here.

355. And let me alone.

356. Just let me alone.

357. Well, portland, here we are back in allen's alley.

358. Say, the senator's home tonight.

359. His hound dog is curled up there under the porch, see it?

360. Somebody, I say, somebody knocked.

361. Drag-on's the name, senator drag-on...

362. I know, you're from dixie.

363. When eat I crackers in bed, I only eat georgia crackers.

364. When I leave new york harbor, I take the south ferry.

365. Now, wait a minute...

366. I'm singing swanee song!

367. Well, I know what you're singing.

368. Delivery boy.

369. How about a game of checkers, ed?

370. Oh, no, no, no.

371. "Let's pretend" is on in five minutes, then there's...

372. would you like some lemonade?

373. Lemonade? Nope. No, no, no.

374. Say, what's that funny looking thing, huh?

375. You know, when I first started listening to radio again

376. I kept wondering whatever happened to the picture tube.

377. The picture tube is right here.

378. Radio. I tell you, radio is a world

379. that has to be believed to be seen, hmm?

380. Where's my radio?

381. What happened to my radio?

382. Ed, be reasonable.

383. Do you know anything about it?

384. Ed, calm down!

385. Ed, I'll tell you.

386. Oh, you'll tell me? I might have known.

387. Take away the one thing that...

388. well, where is it?

389. At the junk dealer's.

390. The junk dealer?

391. You gave my radio to the junk dealer?

392. Hey, wait a second.

393. What do you think you're doing?

394. This is private property.

395. Well, this belongs to me.

396. Oh, no, it don't.

397. We picked this up this morning.

398. Now, if you want to buy it...

399. well, how much, how much?

400. Oh, uh, take a look at it.

401. That's a beautiful piece of furniture.

402. How much?

403. Ten dollars.

404. It better still work, I can tell you that.

405. Because if it don't, it's going to cost you.

406. It's going to cost a lot of people

407. if this don't still work.

408. Now, direct from the aragon ballroom in chicago

409. tommy dorsey and his band.

410. Thank god.

411. Thank god it works.

412. Oh, vinnie, vinnie, come up here, quick.

413. Ed, what's...?

414. Vinnie, tommy dorsey from the aragon ballroom.

415. I know, dear, it's on this time every thursday.

416. And then there's ed wynn, and fred allen, and...

417. ed, what is the matter with you?

418. Oh, vinnie...

419. vinnie, vinnie, vinnie.

420. Dear, dear, vinnie.

421. Around and around she goes

422. and where she stops, nobody knows.

423. All ed lindsay knows

424. is that he desperately wanted a second chance

425. and he finally got it

426. through a strange and wonderful time machine called a radio

427. in the twilight zone.
