4. a journey into a wondrous land

5. whose boundaries are that of imagination.

8. A brief if frenetic introduction to mr. Archibald beechcroft

9. a child of the 20th century

10. a product of the population explosion

11. and one of the inheritors of the legacy of progress.

12. Mr. Beechcroft again.

13. This time act ii of his daily battle for survival.

14. And in just a moment

15. our hero will begin his personal one-man rebellion

16. against the mechanics of his age

17. and to do so he will enlist certain aids

18. available only in the twilight zone.

19. Why, you clumsy clod!

20. Oh, I'm sorry, mr. Beechcroft.

21. I didn't notice where I was going.

22. That's precisely your problem.

23. Feeling ill, beechcroft?

24. If you'll forgive a personal observation

25. you're not looking too well.

26. I'm all right, mr. Rogers.

27. Keeping yourself fit

28. is not only a personal obligation.

29. Oh, no, in a larger sense

30. it's part of your responsibility

31. to your job

32. and to the firm that employs you.

33. I'm not unaware of that, mr. Rogers.

34. Well, then why don't you

35. pull yourself together, man?

36. Get some sleep at night.

37. Eat regular meals, lots of milk and fresh vegetables.

38. Greens! Oh, you can't beat those greens for vitamins.

39. I'm a spinach and lettuce man myself.

40. I even have them for breakfast.

41. Well, if people wouldn't look at me a little tilt.

42. But the power's in the greens, beechcroft.

43. The power's definitely in the greens.

44. You're not drinking, are you, beechcroft?

45. I don't drink, mr. Rogers.

46. Well, then, you don't drink

47. and you don't stay out late at night...

48. are you watching your diet?

49. If you'd really like to know, mr. Rogers

50. if you'd really like to know precisely

51. why I am so dead tired

52. you ought to try coming to work on the subway

53. at 7:30 every morning

54. then jamming into an elevator

55. like part of a herd of cattle

56. then working in that...

57. in that cacophonous din that you call an office.

58. Always get jostled, always get shoved

59. always get pushed around.

60. Take hold of yourself, beechcroft.

61. For goodness sakes, man, take hold.

62. I'll take hold, mr. Rogers.

63. I'll take hold

64. when I can achieve that millennium

65. that absolute perfection that comes with solitude.

66. You read me, mr. Rogers?

67. People.

68. People, people!

69. If I had my way

70. here's how I'd fix the universe.

71. I'd eliminate the people.

72. I mean, cross them off

73. get rid of them, destroy them, decimate them

74. and there'd only be one man left-

75. me, archibald beechcroft, esquire.

76. Why, you are quite mad, beechcroft.

77. Do you know that?

78. People!

79. Mr. Beechcroft.

80. Mr. Beechcroft!

81. Here's a place for you, sir.

82. I've been saving it.

83. I am obliged, henry.

84. Oh, think nothing of it.

85. I was...

86. well, I was just trying to make up

87. for this morning.

88. This morning?

89. When I spilled coffee on your coat.

90. I'm really very sorry

91. about that, mr. Beechcroft.

92. Oh, it's all right.

93. A friend of mine works in a bookstore

94. around the corner.

95. I went there

96. first part of the lunch break.

97. I got you this.

98. The mind and the matter:

99. How you can achieve

100. the ultimate power of concentration.

101. A little on the occult side

102. isn't that, henry?

103. Maybe so, mr. Beechcroft

104. but this friend of mine is...

105. well, you might say he's a student of the mind.

106. Mm-hmm.

107. Oh, he swears by that book.

108. He says, to the best of his knowledge

109. it's the only one in existence.

110. Would you believe it, mr. Beechcroft

111. I've seen my friend cause a woman

112. to purchase a chartreuse and orange scarf.

113. How's that?

114. That's right.

115. We were in a department store

116. and he saw some woman picking over

117. a table full of scarves that were on sale.

118. And he concentrated real hard

119. on the chartreuse and orange one...

120. and as sure as I'm sitting here

121. in the cafeteria of the park central insurance company

122. that woman picked up

123. the chartreuse and orange scarf.

124. Why it's the absolute, unvarnished truth.

125. Oh, mr. Beechcroft, I'm so sorry.

126. Oh, I...

127. I thank you so much for the book, henry.

128. I... I am indebted.

129. Well... there.

130. Uh, mr. Beechcroft, chapter three-

131. that's the one on initial phenomena

132. of intense concentration.

133. Chapter three.

134. Chapter three, right, chapter three.

135. They're right.

136. They're absolutely, unequivocally right.

137. Concentration is the most underrated, unknown power

138. in the universe.

139. Why, a person could...

140. a person could move mountains.

141. There's really no limit

142. to what a man could do using the power properly.

143. No limit at all.

144. People.

145. If I could just concentrate hard enough to get rid of them.

146. Concentration, that's what it takes.

147. Concentrate on getting rid of the people.

148. Mr. Beechcroft!

149. Your rent is due, mr. Beechcroft.

150. Mr. Beechcroft!

151. Rent's due.

152. Mr. Beechcroft!

153. Go away, disappear be extinct!

154. Mr. Beechcroft!

155. Go away, be extinct, disappear.

156. Concentration.

157. Mind over matter.

158. Today the landlady, tomorrow the world.

159. All right, let's get going.

160. That'll be just about enough of that.

161. All well and good.

162. All well and good, to be sure.

163. But what's to do.

164. How does one occupy his time?

165. Too much of a good thing?

166. Well, I wouldn't, uh, I wouldn't say that.

167. But you're thinking it.

168. Bored to death, aren't you?

169. Well, uh, let's just say that, um...

170. let's just say that I am temporarily

171. somewhat accessible to suggestions as to, uh...

172. how to occupy my time.

173. So?

174. Let's face it.

175. You are bored to tears.

176. Solitude is one thing but loneliness...

177. loneliness is quite another.

178. Loneliness nothing.

179. I despise people.

180. I loathe them.

181. And I, archibald beechcroft, have done away with them

182. for good and all, mind you?

183. For good and all.

184. Thought about any alternatives?

185. Alternatives to what?

186. Alternatives to this.

187. You're bored.

188. You don't have idea one

189. how to occupy your time.

190. People are bad enough

191. but inactivity is even worse.

192. How about it?

193. Oh, don't talk nonsense, please.

194. I'm content.

195. I am honestly and truly content for the first time in my life.

196. I've rid myself of the worst scourge there is:

197. The populace.

198. Well...

199. what about the thing

200. that's going to happen to you

201. in the after...

202. shut up.

203. Although, if the truth be known...

204. I would like a little diversion of some kind

205. any sort of diversion...

206. like, um...

207. like, um, an earthquake.

208. Uh, for goodness sakes, no, no, no, not that!

209. How about a nice little electrical storm?

210. Forget it!

211. I believe I've had it for the day.

212. It's preying on you now, isn't it?

213. I mean, the quiet, the emptiness.

214. Well, the thing of it is...

215. it's just that

216. while I don't care much for people

217. it's difficult not having anyone.

218. Why not get someone?

219. That's the point, someone is everyone.

220. And I can't stand everyone

221. or anyone for that matter.

222. There frankly isn't a breed

223. or a specie of human being

224. that I can stomach.

225. Ever thought of a cocker spaniel?

226. Well...

227. I never cared much for animals either.

228. Of course, of course!

229. Why didn't I think of it before?

230. Think of what?

231. People!

232. People who I can stand.

233. People like...

234. people like myself.

235. That's what I'll do.

236. I'll create people, but they'll be like me.

237. A world full of archibald beechcrofts.

238. Now, that's a thought.

239. You bet your life it's a thought.

240. You bet your sweet life.

241. That's what I'll do.

242. I'll will it.

243. I'll concentrate and I'll will

244. that from now on

245. everyone I see will be like me.

246. It's really quite simple.

247. People.

248. It's not enough they're just a mob.

249. They're a dishonest mob.

250. Kindly deposit ten cents please or shall I call the police.

251. Will you please get off my foot

252. you ugly little man.

253. 12th floor, everybody out, please.

254. Sardines!

255. The noise, the miserable noise.

256. I'll go out of my mind.

257. I'll go out of my ever-loving mind.

258. A sty, that's what it is.

259. Nothing but people

260. and people are pigs.

261. People, people, people, people.

262. Is there no respite?

263. Is there no relief?

264. Herds, droves, hosts and bevies of people.

265. Will you people stop muttering back there?

266. I'm trying to work.

267. Had it?

268. Undeniably.

269. Coming through to you, huh?

270. Without a doubt.

271. A lot of me is just as bad

272. as a lot of them.

273. So... what's to do now?

274. I'll just put it back

275. the way it was.

276. Just the way it was.

277. Oh!

278. Oh, mr. Beechcroft, sir, forgive me...

279. uh, nothing serious, henry.

280. Just, uh, forget it.

281. Yes?

282. I was wondering...

283. that book I gave you.

284. Did you get anything out of it?

285. Well, uh...

286. not really, henry, I, uh...

287. frankly, I thought it was a lot of pap.

288. It was interesting, but totally unbelievable.

289. Mr. Archibald beechcroft, a child of the 20th century

290. who has found out through trial and error-

291. and mostly error-

292. that with all its faults it may well be

293. that this is the best of all possible worlds.

294. People notwithstanding, it has much to offer.

295. Tonight's case in point in the twilight zone.

296. Rod serling, creator of the twilight zone

297. will tell you about next week's story

298. after this word from our alternate sponsor.

299. And now, mr. Serling.

300. It's been said that singularly, the most difficult feat

301. of all mankind is to find a needle in a haystack.

302. Onthe twilight zonenext time, we do it one better.

303. We pose a problem of finding a martian in a snow bank.

304. It all adds up to a kind of extraterrestrial who's who

305. with a couple of laughs, and more than a couple of tensions.

306. We recommend this to the space buffs

307. and the jigsaw puzzle addicts.

308. Next time onthe twilight zone, our story is called

309. "will the real martian please stand up."
