2. You're traveling
through another dimension,
Copy !req
3. a dimension not only
of sight and sound, but of mind
Copy !req
4. a journey into a wondrous land
Copy !req
5. whose boundaries
are that of imagination.
Copy !req
6. That's the signpost up ahead.
Copy !req
7. Your next stop,
the twilight zone.
Copy !req
8. All right, mother,
Copy !req
9. remember, the rule
of the house today is
Copy !req
10. the moment this is over,
you go back upstairs.
Copy !req
11. That's fine, chris.
Copy !req
12. You know I
always follow
Copy !req
13. the rules
of the house...
Copy !req
14. except when I don't
agree with them.
Copy !req
15. Hey, you haven't
got your hat on.
Copy !req
16. Grandma!
Copy !req
17. My angel!
Copy !req
18. Mother, you know
the doctor told you
Copy !req
19. not to exert yourself.
Copy !req
20. Oh! I don't exert.
Copy !req
21. Billy is a feather.
Copy !req
22. Chris... chris,
get the lights.
Copy !req
23. Everybody sit down.
Copy !req
24. All right.
Copy !req
25. Billy,
shut your eyes.
Copy !req
26. Here, mother.
Copy !req
27. Don't open them
till I tell you to.
Copy !req
28. Happy birthday,
billy.
Copy !req
29. Open them!
Happy birthday!
Copy !req
30. Happy birthday,
billy!
Copy !req
31. Isn't that
beautiful?
Copy !req
32. No, no, no, no,
wait, billy.
Copy !req
33. Wait, my boy.
Copy !req
34. First you have to
blow out the candles
Copy !req
35. or it's no good.
Copy !req
36. Now, you take
a deep breath, like...
Copy !req
37. and then blow them out,
all of them.
Copy !req
38. Good, good!
Copy !req
39. Good boy.
Copy !req
40. You make a wish?
Copy !req
41. What was it?
Copy !req
42. You tell grandma, ja?
Copy !req
43. Don't you think we could
all hear the wish, billy?
Copy !req
44. No, that's a secret
between him and me.
Copy !req
45. Isn't that so?
Copy !req
46. Now... mm!
Copy !req
47. Oh, mother,
Copy !req
48. why don't you let syl
cut the cake, huh?
Copy !req
49. You think I'm too old
to cut a cake, eh?
Copy !req
50. When I am that old
Copy !req
51. you get the shovel
and dig the hole.
Copy !req
52. Shovel!
Copy !req
53. Yes, my angel!
Copy !req
54. Oh... oh, billy!
Copy !req
55. Oh, darling.
Copy !req
56. Oh, my angel.
Copy !req
57. I am so happy.
Copy !req
58. My heart is full, I...
Copy !req
59. I like to say something.
Copy !req
60. Could I say something?
Copy !req
61. Sure.
Copy !req
62. My little billy-
Copy !req
63. my wonderful little boy.
Copy !req
64. He gave me life again.
Copy !req
65. An old woman
Copy !req
66. good for nothing no
more but to complain.
Copy !req
67. He held out his hands to me
and...
Copy !req
68. made me alive.
Copy !req
69. Why are you
crying, grandma?
Copy !req
70. I don't know, my angel.
Copy !req
71. Maybe because I won't
be here with you
Copy !req
72. for very long.
Copy !req
73. Why?
Copy !req
74. I will be away.
Copy !req
75. Where?
Copy !req
76. Nowhere, billy.
Copy !req
77. Grandma's going to be right here
next year
Copy !req
78. and the year after that.
Copy !req
79. No... don't lie to him.
Copy !req
80. I will be gone.
Copy !req
81. It's time for presents.
Copy !req
82. Come on, billy!
Copy !req
83. Gram,
I wish you...
Copy !req
84. is anything wrong?
Copy !req
85. No, it...
Copy !req
86. just a little
short of breath.
Copy !req
87. Bang!
Copy !req
88. Bang, bang!
Copy !req
89. How do you
like that, huh?
Copy !req
90. This is the one
Copy !req
91. I want you
to open next.
Copy !req
92. Wait till
you see it.
Copy !req
93. This is the one
you asked for, remember?
Copy !req
94. Billy, don't you want to see
what grandma got you?
Copy !req
95. Oh, boy!
Copy !req
96. A telephone!
Copy !req
97. For us, billy-
for you and me.
Copy !req
98. So you can always talk
to grandma
Copy !req
99. even when she's not here-
anytime.
Copy !req
100. Can I talk
to grandma now?
Copy !req
101. Good... go ahead.
Copy !req
102. Hello.
Copy !req
103. Is there somebody who
wants to talk to grandma?
Copy !req
104. It's me!
Copy !req
105. Who are you?
Copy !req
106. It's me, billy!
Copy !req
107. Oh, billy...
Copy !req
108. take me upstairs now, chris.
Copy !req
109. Don't you
want to play?
Copy !req
110. I want to, billy.
Copy !req
111. You just talk
on the telephone-
Copy !req
112. I will hear you.
Copy !req
113. Don't be sick, grandma.
Copy !req
114. Don't be sick.
Copy !req
115. This is me, billy.
Copy !req
116. Please don't be sick.
Copy !req
117. As must be obvious,
Copy !req
118. this is a house hovered over
by mr. Death,
Copy !req
119. that omnipresent player
Copy !req
120. to the third and final act
of every life.
Copy !req
121. And it's been said,
and probably rightfully so
Copy !req
122. that what follows this life
Copy !req
123. is one of the unfathomable
mysteries-
Copy !req
124. an area of darkness which we
the living reserve for the dead.
Copy !req
125. Or so it is said.
Copy !req
126. For in a moment, a child
will try to cross that bridge
Copy !req
127. which separates
light and shadow.
Copy !req
128. And of course he must take
the only known route:
Copy !req
129. That indistinct highway
through the region we call
Copy !req
130. the twilight zone.
Copy !req
131. I want to see grandma.
Copy !req
132. Oh, honey, we can't
see her right now
Copy !req
133. because she... she's
not feeling very well.
Copy !req
134. She isn't in any pain.
Copy !req
135. Can we see her?
Copy !req
136. Well, I wouldn't advise it,
not that it would hurt her,
Copy !req
137. but I... I don't think
she'd even recognize you.
Copy !req
138. Oh, we'd recognize her.
Copy !req
139. All right, chris.
Copy !req
140. Honey, you might as well
put him to bed. Yeah.
Copy !req
141. I want to see grandma.
Copy !req
142. Billy,
try to understand this.
Copy !req
143. Your grandmother's sick.
Copy !req
144. She's very sick.
Copy !req
145. So why don't you wait
till she gets well again.
Copy !req
146. I want to see her now.
Copy !req
147. Come on, honey,
don't do that.
Copy !req
148. Come on now.
Copy !req
149. Well, all right, billy,
just for a minute.
Copy !req
150. Billy...
Copy !req
151. if your grandmother
acts kind of strange
Copy !req
152. remember, it's just
because of all the medicine.
Copy !req
153. Here... blow
your nose.
Copy !req
154. Good boy.
Copy !req
155. The family would
like to see her now.
Copy !req
156. Grandma!
Copy !req
157. My angel...
Copy !req
158. are you sick, grandma?
Copy !req
159. Not no more.
Copy !req
160. Then why don't you get up?
Copy !req
161. Hello, ma.
Copy !req
162. Who are you?
Copy !req
163. I'm your son, chris.
Copy !req
164. Your son.
Copy !req
165. No... no.
Copy !req
166. My son was taken away...
from me by a woman.
Copy !req
167. This is my son now-
Copy !req
168. billy, my son.
Copy !req
169. What's the matter,
grandma?
Copy !req
170. It will be so lonely.
Copy !req
171. I wish you could go
with grandma, billy.
Copy !req
172. Where?
Copy !req
173. Away...
Copy !req
174. far away, billy.
Copy !req
175. Together, the two of us.
Copy !req
176. Just you and me, billy.
Copy !req
177. No one else.
Copy !req
178. Just you and...
Copy !req
179. me.
Copy !req
180. Grandma.
Copy !req
181. Grandma!
Copy !req
182. Billy!
Copy !req
183. Billy?
Copy !req
184. Billy, didn't you
hear me calling you?
Copy !req
185. No.
Copy !req
186. You know you're
not supposed to play
Copy !req
187. so close to the pond.
Copy !req
188. What are you doing?
Copy !req
189. Looking at the fishes.
Copy !req
190. Well, it's getting cold.
Copy !req
191. Let's go inside now.
Copy !req
192. What's that?
Copy !req
193. Your grandmother's
bracelet.
Copy !req
194. Honey, why
don't you go up
Copy !req
195. and play in your room
for a while, huh?
Copy !req
196. Chris...
Copy !req
197. what's the matter?
Copy !req
198. Oh, it's...
it's billy.
Copy !req
199. He's been walking around
in a trance all day.
Copy !req
200. Well, he misses
her already.
Copy !req
201. You know how
close they were.
Copy !req
202. Yes, I know.
Copy !req
203. What is that
supposed to mean?
Copy !req
204. I mean they
were too close.
Copy !req
205. It wasn't right.
Copy !req
206. You know that.
Copy !req
207. You heard what she said,
she called himherson.
Copy !req
208. She didn't mean that.
Copy !req
209. Didn't she?
Copy !req
210. No.
Copy !req
211. Sylvia, for
heaven's sakes
Copy !req
212. she was full of sedatives
and she was dying.
Copy !req
213. Oh, I'm sorry,
chris, it's just...
Copy !req
214. I guess we're
all upset today.
Copy !req
215. Hey. Why don't you
come over and play?
Copy !req
216. Is it cold there?
Copy !req
217. I had weenies for lunch.
Copy !req
218. What did you have?
Copy !req
219. Maybe they'll fix my tricycle.
Copy !req
220. Billy.
Copy !req
221. Who are you talking to?
Copy !req
222. Grandma.
Copy !req
223. She's lonesome.
Copy !req
224. She wanted to know
if I can come stay with her.
Copy !req
225. Can I, mama?
Copy !req
226. Can I?
Copy !req
227. Mrs. Bayles?
Copy !req
228. Oh, just a minute,
shirley.
Copy !req
229. Feel like being alone?
Copy !req
230. No, that's the
last thing I want.
Copy !req
231. Well, I'll make us
some coffee.
Copy !req
232. Yes, shirley,
what is it?
Copy !req
233. Mrs. Bayles...
Copy !req
234. mrs. Bayles.
Copy !req
235. My name is peterson.
Copy !req
236. I hate to bother you
at a time like this.
Copy !req
237. The girl told me about
your mother-in-law's funeral.
Copy !req
238. What is it?
Copy !req
239. Well, it's about
your boy.
Copy !req
240. Billy?
Copy !req
241. He's all right,
mrs. Bayles.
Copy !req
242. I just put him
down for his nap,
Copy !req
243. and he's all right.
But I'm not.
Copy !req
244. I've been sitting here
shaking for 20 minutes
Copy !req
245. thinking about
what might have happened.
Copy !req
246. What might have happened,
mr. Peterson?
Copy !req
247. Your son
almost got himself killed.
Copy !req
248. Ran right out
in front of my car from nowhere.
Copy !req
249. Lucky thing I'm a cautious
driver, mr. Bayles.
Copy !req
250. Oh, excuse me.
Copy !req
251. Billy doesn't play
in the streets.
Copy !req
252. I know, mr. Bayles,
Copy !req
253. that's why I didn't say anything
when he went out.
Copy !req
254. All right, shirley,
what happened?
Copy !req
255. Well, he played
in the streets today.
Copy !req
256. He ran right out
in front of my car-
Copy !req
257. didn't even have time
to put the brakes on.
Copy !req
258. I couldn't have missed him
by more than a few inches.
Copy !req
259. It wasn't my fault,
mr. Bayles, honest.
Copy !req
260. All right, shirley,
Copy !req
261. apparently it wasn't
anybody's fault.
Copy !req
262. Mr. Bayles...
Copy !req
263. I think you'd better have
a talk with your boy.
Copy !req
264. A talk? What about?
Copy !req
265. Well... when I saw
that he was all right,
Copy !req
266. I asked him why he did
a crazy thing like that,
Copy !req
267. running out in the middle
of a busy street.
Copy !req
268. He said somebody told him to.
Copy !req
269. Somebody told him to?
Copy !req
270. Who?
Copy !req
271. He didn't say.
Copy !req
272. Mr. Bayles, you know
I'd never tell billy
Copy !req
273. to do a thing like that.
Copy !req
274. Who else did he
talk to, shirley?
Copy !req
275. No one, he didn't
talk to no one.
Copy !req
276. He just sat up in
his room all day long
Copy !req
277. just talking on
that toy telephone.
Copy !req
278. Honest.
Copy !req
279. Chris...
Copy !req
280. I'll be
right there.
Copy !req
281. I'm sorry,
mr. Peterson.
Copy !req
282. Don't be sorry, just
be glad the boy's safe.
Copy !req
283. Listen.
Copy !req
284. Oh, for
heaven's sake.
Copy !req
285. Hi, pumpkin.
We're back.
Copy !req
286. Billy, what's
this business
Copy !req
287. about your running
into the street?
Copy !req
288. You know,
you had us worried.
Copy !req
289. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
290. Well, why did
you do it?
Copy !req
291. I don't know.
Copy !req
292. Billy, who were
you talking to
Copy !req
293. on the phone
just now?
Copy !req
294. Nobody.
Copy !req
295. Don't fib to me, billy.
Copy !req
296. Who were you talking to?
Copy !req
297. No one!
Copy !req
298. You're going to tell me!
Copy !req
299. You hear, now? I mean it!
Copy !req
300. Easy.
Copy !req
301. Hey...
Copy !req
302. mom doesn't like me
anymore, does she?
Copy !req
303. Why, sure she
does, billy.
Copy !req
304. She's just upset.
Copy !req
305. Billy, I'm going to
tell you something.
Copy !req
306. Now, I want you to
try to understand.
Copy !req
307. You're not going to see
your grandma anymore.
Copy !req
308. She didn't go away,
like we said.
Copy !req
309. She died, billy. Do you
know what that means?
Copy !req
310. Yes...
Copy !req
311. I know.
Copy !req
312. Billy, I know you're
just pretending
Copy !req
313. to talk to her
on that phone.
Copy !req
314. I know it's just
a game you made up.
Copy !req
315. But, billy, for me,
Copy !req
316. don't do it in front
of your mother.
Copy !req
317. Why?
Copy !req
318. Well, because she...
Copy !req
319. just don't,
hmm?
Copy !req
320. Okay.
Copy !req
321. to me about mommy.
Copy !req
322. Darling, aren't
you coming to bed?
Copy !req
323. Chris, don't
shut me out.
Copy !req
324. Oh, I'm sorry.
I was just...
Copy !req
325. I know.
Copy !req
326. Funerals stink.
Copy !req
327. I wanted to remember
her the way she was.
Copy !req
328. Now I'll always
think of her that way.
Copy !req
329. I know how hard
everything's been on you, syl.
Copy !req
330. Everything you've
had to go through.
Copy !req
331. But mother never
meant any harm.
Copy !req
332. I suppose not.
Copy !req
333. No, it's true.
Copy !req
334. She had two children before me.
Copy !req
335. She lost them both.
Copy !req
336. She just couldn't let go.
Copy !req
337. I was all she had.
Copy !req
338. Except for billy.
Copy !req
339. But billy was me again.
Copy !req
340. A chance to go back.
Copy !req
341. To pretend all those
other years never happened.
Copy !req
342. I know it wasn't right
or fair to you, syl,
Copy !req
343. but, believe me,
no matter what she did,
Copy !req
344. she did it
out of love.
Copy !req
345. Love for whom?
Copy !req
346. Oh, syl...
Copy !req
347. oh, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
348. I didn't mean that.
Copy !req
349. I really didn't.
Copy !req
350. Why, you're trembling.
Copy !req
351. Let's go to bed.
Copy !req
352. Hooray for peter pan!
Copy !req
353. That's a good story, grandma.
Copy !req
354. That's our secret,
isn't it?
Copy !req
355. Nobody knows but us.
Copy !req
356. Can I have a chocolate
ice cream bar?
Copy !req
357. My telephone!
My telephone!
Copy !req
358. My telephone! You broke my telephone!
Copy !req
359. Syl, what is it?
Copy !req
360. What's the matter?
Oh, I heard her.
Copy !req
361. Who? She was there. There on the phone.
Copy !req
362. Syl, snap out of it.
Copy !req
363. She didn't
say anything,
Copy !req
364. but I could hear
her breathing.
Copy !req
365. Syl...
Copy !req
366. billy...
Copy !req
367. billy?
Copy !req
368. Billy!
Copy !req
369. Billy?
Copy !req
370. Billy?
Copy !req
371. Billy!
Copy !req
372. Billy? Billy?
Copy !req
373. Billy!
Copy !req
374. Billy!
Copy !req
375. Oh, no... no...
Copy !req
376. no...
Copy !req
377. no, no, no...
Copy !req
378. no, no...
Copy !req
379. she took him...
Copy !req
380. she took him away.
Copy !req
381. She took him.
Copy !req
382. Don't say that.
Copy !req
383. Yes, she did.
She took him.
Copy !req
384. Oh, syl, syl, don't...
don't say that.
Copy !req
385. How are his chances?
Copy !req
386. Well, they're
not so good.
Copy !req
387. If we'd have got him
a few minutes earlier...
Copy !req
388. well, the doctor will
be here in a few minutes.
Copy !req
389. He'll give your
wife something.
Copy !req
390. Thanks.
Copy !req
391. Mother...
Copy !req
392. if you can hear me, listen.
Copy !req
393. You said you loved billy.
Copy !req
394. At his birthday, you...
Copy !req
395. you picked him up and...
Copy !req
396. and you hugged him.
Copy !req
397. And you said
he gave you life again.
Copy !req
398. If you really love billy...
Copy !req
399. give him back.
Copy !req
400. He's only five.
Copy !req
401. He hasn't even started.
Copy !req
402. He doesn't know anything
about going to school...
Copy !req
403. or girlfriends...
Copy !req
404. or wearing long pants...
Copy !req
405. even pitching a baseball.
Copy !req
406. He's hardly been
out of this room...
Copy !req
407. out of this house.
Copy !req
408. There's a whole world
he hasn't even touched.
Copy !req
409. Mother...
Copy !req
410. you said billy
gave you life again.
Copy !req
411. Now you can givehimlife.
Copy !req
412. If you really love him,
let him live.
Copy !req
413. Give him back!
Copy !req
414. Give him back, ma.
Copy !req
415. Ma?
Copy !req
416. Yeah...
Copy !req
417. yeah, we got him.
Copy !req
418. Yeah...
Copy !req
419. yeah!

Copy !req
425. A toy telephone,
an act of faith,
Copy !req
426. a set of improbable
circumstances all combine
Copy !req
427. to probe a mystery,
to fathom a depth,
Copy !req
428. to send a facet of light
into a dark after-region
Copy !req
429. to be believed or disbelieved
Copy !req
430. depending on your
frame of reference-
Copy !req
431. a fact or a fantasy,
a substance or a shadow-
Copy !req
432. but all of it very much a part
of the twilight zone.

Copy !req
443. and found themselves
one afternoon
Copy !req
444. on the fringe of the future.
Copy !req
445. Our story is called
