Copy !req
14. That woman who phoned
said something
Copy !req
15. about calling out
the national guard.
Copy !req

Copy !req

in the ice
Copy !req
24. at tracy's pond
Copy !req
25. and we can't
see it now.
Copy !req
26. Bill?
Copy !req
27. Hold on.
Copy !req
28. Yeah?
Copy !req
29. There are footprints up here.
Copy !req
30. They come up
from the pond and...
Copy !req
31. looks like they got out
of whatever landed.
Copy !req
32. Appears to be
some evidence that...
Copy !req
33. we'll call you back.
Copy !req
34. What's it all about?
Copy !req
35. We don't know yet.
Copy !req
36. How's that?
Copy !req
37. We'll, uh... we'll call you back
in a little bit.
Copy !req
38. All right, padgett
Copy !req
39. but there's talk of the bridge
going out up there.
Copy !req
40. When you can, take a look
Copy !req
41. and make sure she's posted
and blocked off.
Copy !req
42. Enough ice jammed against it
to cool the congo.
Copy !req
43. Roger and out.
Copy !req
44. No question about it.
Copy !req
45. Something left
that pond...
Copy !req
46. and went over
to the diner.
Copy !req
47. Looks like a bus
Copy !req
48. in front
of that diner.
Copy !req
49. You don't suppose
Copy !req
50. it came out of
that pond, do you?
Copy !req
51. Very funny.
Copy !req
52. Sorry.
Copy !req
53. Let's leave the car
Copy !req
54. and follow
these tracks.
Copy !req
55. I want to be sure
they lead to the diner.
Copy !req
56. Wintry february night,
the present.
Copy !req
57. A phone call
from a frightened woman
Copy !req
58. notating the arrival
of an unidentified flying object
Copy !req
59. then the check-out you witnessed
Copy !req
60. with two state troopers
verifying the event
Copy !req
61. but with nothing
more enlightening to add
Copy !req
62. beyond evidence of some tracks
Copy !req
63. leading across the highway
to a diner.
Copy !req
64. You've heard of trying to find
a needle in a haystack?
Copy !req
65. Well, stay with us and you'll be
part of an investigating team
Copy !req
66. whose mission is not to find
that proverbial needle-
Copy !req
67. no, their task is even harder.
Copy !req
68. They've got to find
a martian in a diner
Copy !req
69. and in just a moment
you'll search with them
Copy !req
70. because you've just landed
in the twilight zone.
Copy !req
71. Trouble?
Copy !req
72. Whose bus is this
out here?
Copy !req
73. That's mine,
officer.
Copy !req
74. What's the problem?
Copy !req
75. The bridge up ahead
Copy !req
76. has been declared
temporarily impassable.
Copy !req
77. Ice floe stacked up
against it.
Copy !req
78. Another pound
of weight
Copy !req
79. and it could be
driftwood.
Copy !req
80. That's rough.
Copy !req
81. Can't go back.
Copy !req
82. There's a slide
up at the turnoff.
Copy !req
83. Blocked
the whole road.
Copy !req
84. Looks like
you're marooned.
Copy !req
85. Till morning, anyway.
Copy !req
86. Till morning?
Copy !req
87. I've got to be in
boston at 9:00 a.m.
Copy !req
88. You better start
walking, mister
Copy !req
89. because that bus stays out there
until they fix the bridge.
Copy !req
90. Either that or have them drop
some snowshoes.
Copy !req
91. So you might as well
all get comfortable
Copy !req
92. and get a little
hot food in you.
Copy !req
93. Oh, that's just great.
Copy !req
94. That's fine,
isn't it?
Copy !req
95. Get comfortable and get
a little hot food in you.
Copy !req
96. That's precious
little consolation
Copy !req
97. for missing my
meeting in boston.
Copy !req
98. That's a fine bus
line you work for.
Copy !req
99. They care so much
Copy !req
100. about their schedules,
don't they?
Copy !req
101. I wouldn't be too hard on them.
Copy !req
102. They have no control
over the snow, bridges
Copy !req
103. the sides of hills
that decide to come down.
Copy !req
104. That's pretty much
out of their hands.
Copy !req
105. What do you think?
Copy !req
106. They were all on the bus, weren't they?
Copy !req
107. What's the trouble?
You looking for somebody?
Copy !req
108. Driver, uh...
Copy !req
109. you got a passenger
manifest?
Copy !req
110. Passenger manifest?
Copy !req
111. What do you think
Copy !req
112. I got parked
out there, a 707?
Copy !req
113. That's a 14-year-old bus
Copy !req
114. and business is lousy.
Copy !req
115. My boss would run rum
across the border
Copy !req
116. if there was a profit in it.
Copy !req
117. I don't ask passengers
their names.
Copy !req
118. We kiss them gently
and help them in.
Copy !req
119. We're that glad to have them,
with or without names.
Copy !req
120. You know how many you had?
Copy !req
121. Six.
Copy !req
122. Unless one of them
fell out the window
Copy !req
123. when we hit
a bump.
Copy !req
124. I picked up six
Copy !req
125. and I'm supposed
to deliver six.
Copy !req
126. Nobody fell out.
Copy !req
127. Somebody must have jumped in.
Copy !req
128. There are seven here now.
Copy !req
129. That's funny.
Copy !req
130. I know I had
six people.
Copy !req
131. Thanks.
Copy !req
132. Tell me, was there
anybody in here
Copy !req
133. before the bus
stopped?
Copy !req
134. No, I haven't
served anybody
Copy !req
135. since 11:00
this morning.
Copy !req
136. I figured this whole
bunch got off the bus.
Copy !req
137. We did- there was no one
in here when we came in.
Copy !req
138. Then how do you account
for seven people?
Copy !req
139. That one beats me.
Copy !req
140. One of them didn't
get off the bus.
Copy !req
141. Which one of you
wasn't on the bus?
Copy !req
142. We were all
on the bus.
Copy !req
143. What kind of interrogation
is this, anyway?
Copy !req
144. If we're going to be grilled,
I want to talk to a lawyer.
Copy !req
145. That's a good one!
Copy !req
146. First he wants snowshoes,
then he wants a lawyer.
Copy !req
147. I don't remember
seeingyouon the bus.
Copy !req
148. That's quite funny
Copy !req
149. because I don't remember
seeing you neither.
Copy !req
150. Makes one of us a liar,
don't it?
Copy !req
151. This is preposterous.
Copy !req
152. What difference
does it make
Copy !req
153. who was on the bus
and who wasn't
Copy !req
154. or whether there were
six or seven or 120?
Copy !req
155. Is this a diner
or gestapo headquarters?
Copy !req
156. Oh, now, take it
easy, mister.
Copy !req
157. What's it all about?
Copy !req
158. Did you hear
anything
Copy !req
159. flying over
here tonight?
Copy !req
160. Flying over here?
Copy !req
161. No, I haven't heard anything.
Copy !req
162. We got a call
about two hours ago.
Copy !req
163. Woman said she heard something
fly over and then come down.
Copy !req
164. Fly over here?
Copy !req
165. From where?
Copy !req
166. From up
there.
Copy !req
167. An unidentified flying object.
Copy !req
168. Unidentified flying object?
Copy !req
169. Nothing's come down
from up there except snow.
Copy !req
170. That's all
I've seen
Copy !req
171. for the past
14 hours- snow.
Copy !req
172. Where did she say
it came down?
Copy !req
173. Close to here.
Copy !req
174. Look, something did
land in tracy's pond.
Copy !req
175. Left a trail
of broken branches
Copy !req
176. before it hit.
Copy !req
177. We found tracks
leading away from it.
Copy !req
178. To where?
Copy !req
179. To here.
Copy !req
180. You mean something landed
in tracy's pond
Copy !req
181. and then came in here?
Copy !req
182. That's crazy.
Copy !req
183. Nothing's come in here
since 11:00 this morning.
Copy !req
184. Nothing, except...
Copy !req
185. except me and
my passengers.
Copy !req
186. Me and
six people.
Copy !req
187. That means that...
Copy !req
188. one person here...
Copy !req
189. george, I don't
like this.
Copy !req
190. Easy, honey, easy.
Copy !req
191. Let me get
this straight.
Copy !req
192. You're trying
to tell us
Copy !req
193. that there's one
person in here
Copy !req
194. who landed in some
kind of a saucer
Copy !req
195. and then came
in here?
Copy !req
196. Came in here with us?
Copy !req
197. Well, that's just not possible.
Copy !req
198. We'd have seen them.
Copy !req
199. Not necessarily.
Copy !req
200. It's snowing
and dark.
Copy !req
201. We climbed off
of that bus
Copy !req
202. with our eyes closed
to get out of the snow.
Copy !req
203. Anyone could have come in with
us and we wouldn't have noticed.
Copy !req
204. You were all on
the bus together.
Copy !req
205. You would have known
who the other passengers were.
Copy !req
206. That don't
cut any ice.
Copy !req
207. They loaded in the
snow at hook's landing.
Copy !req
208. Tell you the truth,
I don't know who got on.
Copy !req
209. She's just like a science
fiction, that's what she is.
Copy !req
210. A regular ray bradbury.
Copy !req
211. Six humans
and one monster
Copy !req
212. from outer space...
Copy !req
213. you wouldn't happen
to have an eye
Copy !req
214. in the back
of your head, would you?
Copy !req
215. I find you offensive,
you know that?
Copy !req
216. What do you do now, officer?
Copy !req
217. Look, lady, this isn't exactly
par for our courses either.
Copy !req
218. We go off on a lot of nutty
assignments but this one...
Copy !req
219. wow.
Copy !req
220. Well, I know how you begin.
Copy !req
221. You pair off the couples.
Copy !req
222. Since it's just one person
who doesn't belong here, you...
Copy !req
223. you eliminate the couples.
Copy !req
224. We're exonerated.
Copy !req
225. Cross us off.
Copy !req
226. We're two
of the humans.
Copy !req
227. Us, too
Copy !req
228. my wife and I.
Copy !req
229. We're in the clear.
Copy !req
230. What's the matter?
Copy !req
231. I... I could
have sworn
Copy !req
232. you had a mole
on your chin.
Copy !req
233. Mole on my chin?
Copy !req
234. Connie, I've never had
a mole on my chin.
Copy !req
235. I can tell you
what's going to happen.
Copy !req
236. We're all going
to get so panicky
Copy !req
237. that everyone will
start picking up
Copy !req
238. invisible clues
from everybody else.
Copy !req
239. This is nonsense.
Copy !req
240. Of course it's nonsense
Copy !req
241. if a husband and wife
start wondering
Copy !req
242. whether the husband
is really the husband
Copy !req
243. and the wife... is...
Copy !req
244. now, wait a minute.
Copy !req
245. 23 years is long enough
Copy !req
246. for a woman to know
who she's married to.
Copy !req
247. So I'll thank you
to stop looking at me
Copy !req
248. as if I'd just put on this face
as part of a costume.
Copy !req
249. I love this.
Copy !req
250. She don't know who he is.
Copy !req
251. He don't know who she is.
Copy !req
252. We don't know who she is.
Copy !req
253. And this lemon-sucker here
Copy !req
254. he's the most suspicious
of the bunch.
Copy !req
255. You got a back door
to this place?
Copy !req
256. Sure, why?
Copy !req
257. Go back there and lock it.
Copy !req
258. It's already
locked.
Copy !req
259. If that certain somebody
really is from outer space
Copy !req
260. they'll just go
through the wall.
Copy !req
261. Check them
for wings!
Copy !req
262. Check them for wings!
Copy !req
263. Look under their coats.
Copy !req
264. You got identification, grandpa?
Copy !req
265. Left it in the pond
in my spaceship.
Copy !req
266. Who won the world
series last year?
Copy !req
267. What is this, a sort of
prolonged practical joke?
Copy !req
268. I get it, I get it!
Copy !req
269. Pittsburgh pirates
won it.
Copy !req
270. Took four out of seven
from the yankees.
Copy !req
271. Eh?
Copy !req
272. Sharp boys,
real sharp boys.
Copy !req
273. Didn't figure us martians
would know nothing
Copy !req
274. about the great american
pastime, did you?
Copy !req
275. Huh? Huh!
Copy !req
276. You got
identification, miss?
Copy !req
277. Well, no,
as a matter of fact, I don't.
Copy !req
278. I left my wallet...
I left it in my suitcase.
Copy !req
279. It was shipped on ahead.
Copy !req
280. What's your name, miss?
Copy !req
281. Ethel mcconnell,
I'm a professional dancer.
Copy !req
282. How many legs?
Copy !req
283. I'm going to belt you, grandpa.
Copy !req
284. She was on the bus.
Copy !req
285. How do you know?
Copy !req
286. She's the only one
I noticed.
Copy !req
287. Well, thank you.
Copy !req
288. But who
noticed him?
Copy !req
289. How do we know
you're the same one
Copy !req
290. driving the bus?
Copy !req
291. Ain't nobody
been exonerated yet
Copy !req
292. that's for sure.
Copy !req
293. Let's cut this farce out.
Copy !req
294. We'll all show
our identifications
Copy !req
295. and put a stop to it.
Copy !req
296. The whole thing's ridiculous.
Copy !req
297. Then how do
you explain
Copy !req
298. the extra person
in here?
Copy !req
299. Yes, how
about that?
Copy !req
300. Very simple.
Copy !req
301. The driver's mistaken.
Copy !req
302. Seven people
got on the bus
Copy !req
303. and he thought
there were only six.
Copy !req
304. Is that
possible?
Copy !req
305. Not a chance
in the world.
Copy !req
306. I counted heads
before we took off.
Copy !req
307. There were
sixpeople.
Copy !req
308. Miss...
Copy !req
309. what caused that?
Copy !req
310. We, uh...
Copy !req
311. we may get a laugh
out of all this
Copy !req
312. in the morning
Copy !req
313. in the meantime
Copy !req
314. everyone stay right
where they are.
Copy !req
315. Where are the troopers?
Copy !req
316. Hmm? Oh,
stepped outside.
Copy !req
317. Snow stopped.
Copy !req
318. Say, haley...
Copy !req
319. that wasn't your gag,
was it?
Copy !req
320. I mean, the business about
the jukebox starting like that?
Copy !req
321. Not me. I'm strictly short
orders and pay your taxes.
Copy !req
322. I don't know anything
about science fiction.
Copy !req
323. A jukebox is a jukebox,
and if that thing
Copy !req
324. wants to start up
all on its own,
Copy !req
325. you'll check with an
electrical engineer.
Copy !req
326. Take me to your leader.
Copy !req
327. Take me to your leader!
Copy !req
328. Find anything?
Copy !req
329. No.
Copy !req
330. Took a look
at the bridge.
Copy !req
331. Holding up well.
Copy !req
332. I know
that bridge.
Copy !req
333. What's more,
I don't trust it.
Copy !req
334. Well,
thank goodness
Copy !req
335. we needn't
concern ourselves
Copy !req
336. with your judgment.
Copy !req
337. If the bridge gets
a clean bill of health
Copy !req
338. you'll drive that bus
right across it.
Copy !req
339. Listen, you may be
a big shot in boston
Copy !req
340. but when it comes
to bridges and buses
Copy !req
341. I got seniority
Copy !req
342. and I tell you
Copy !req
343. that bridge is
so old that...
Copy !req
344. hey, what is this?
Copy !req
345. Why did the lights
go out like that?
Copy !req
346. We may be
losing power.
Copy !req
347. This is weird.
Copy !req
348. This is
just plain weird.
Copy !req
349. Well, I wish
whoever it was
Copy !req
350. would play his
cards right now.
Copy !req
351. Why don't they
do something?
Copy !req
352. What's the point of us
all staying cooped up
Copy !req
353. in here like this
and... and not...
Copy !req
354. the point is
this, miss.
Copy !req
355. We're all kids
in a closet here.
Copy !req
356. Nobody understands
what's going on.
Copy !req
357. If there was some kind of a
saucer that landed in that pond
Copy !req
358. and he did
come in here
Copy !req
359. I think it would be
a real healthy idea
Copy !req
360. if we pinpointed that
particular somebody
Copy !req
361. and kept him
from leaving.
Copy !req
362. Makes sense.
Copy !req
363. Maybe whoever it is
is invisible.
Copy !req
364. Maybe they're
playing around.
Copy !req
365. Cat and mouse.
Copy !req
366. That is childish nonsense.
Copy !req
367. It's as good
an explanation
Copy !req
368. as any I've heard.
Copy !req
369. But what if the...
Copy !req
370. the thing doesn't
show itself?
Copy !req
371. Do we just sit here
holding our breath?
Copy !req
372. Yes. How about that?
Copy !req
373. Well, if somebody
was to ask me...
Copy !req
374. well, no one did ask you,
and no one will.
Copy !req
375. Why don't you leave
the old man alone.
Copy !req
376. Who invited you into this?
Copy !req
377. Well, I didn't realize we were
waiting for invitations,
Copy !req
378. but you've got this big thing
about bossing everybody around.
Copy !req
379. Look, it's tough enough
just sitting here without...
Copy !req
380. get over there
and sit down, gramps.
Copy !req
381. Yeah.
Copy !req
382. What's that?
Copy !req
383. It's okay?
Copy !req
384. All right, thanks.
Copy !req
385. The bridge is okay.
Copy !req
386. Well, it's about time.
Copy !req
387. Shall we go?
Copy !req
388. What do you think,
perry?
Copy !req
389. Can't hold them.
Copy !req
390. You're making
a big mistake, officer.
Copy !req
391. Big mistake.
Copy !req
392. You're letting
a monster out.
Copy !req
393. That may well be,
old man.
Copy !req
394. May well be.
Copy !req
395. Can't hold somebody
Copy !req
396. on suspicion
of being a monster.
Copy !req
397. You can roll them any time.
Copy !req
398. All right.
Copy !req
399. Are they sure
about that bridge?
Copy !req
400. I don't like
that sucker.
Copy !req
401. She swings
in the wind
Copy !req
402. and she's not
a suspension.
Copy !req
403. That was the county engineer.
Copy !req
404. The bridge has been checked out
Copy !req
405. and declared
passable.
Copy !req
406. We'll go on ahead,
cross the bridge first.
Copy !req
407. You can pay your checks
right over here
Copy !req
408. ladies and gentlemen.
Copy !req
409. Godspeed and
a safe trip.
Copy !req
410. And you all come back
Copy !req
411. and see us again,
you hear?
Copy !req
412. That is...
all but one of you.
Copy !req
413. Now, you had
the chili, right?
Copy !req
414. That's 90 cents.
Copy !req
415. Thank you.
Copy !req
416. And you had, what,
14 cups of coffee
Copy !req
417. that was $1.40.
Copy !req
418. Good-bye, officer.
Copy !req
419. Miss mcconnell.
Copy !req
420. Well, I counted seven.
Copy !req
421. That's right, seven.
Copy !req
422. Betcha by the time we get
to boston, there'll be 17.
Copy !req
423. Something for you?
Copy !req
424. Coffee- black.
Copy !req
425. One coffee, black.
Copy !req
426. Hey, uh,
didn't you, uh...
Copy !req
427. what I mean is...
Copy !req
428. didn't you go
out on that bus?
Copy !req
429. I did indeed.
Copy !req
430. Oh, yes, I went out
on that bus.
Copy !req
431. And do you know
something?
Copy !req
432. That bridge wasn't safe.
Copy !req
433. It collapsed.
Copy !req
434. The state police car,
the bus, everything
Copy !req
435. kerplunk, right into the river.
Copy !req
436. It was a terrible scene.
Copy !req
437. No one got out.
Copy !req
438. Except you.
Copy !req
439. Except me.
Copy !req
440. Lucky, I guess, huh?
Copy !req
441. Very lucky.
Copy !req
442. But... but...
Copy !req
443. but... what?
Copy !req
444. You're not even wet.
Copy !req
445. Wet...
Copy !req
446. what's "wet?"
Copy !req
447. What do you mean
"what's 'wet? '"
Copy !req
448. You landed in the river
but your clothes are all dry.
Copy !req
449. Illusion, that's all.
Copy !req
450. Just an illusion.
Copy !req
451. Like that jukebox
playing in the corner.
Copy !req
452. That's an
illusion, too.
Copy !req
453. Or, uh, that
telephone ringing.
Copy !req
454. That's an illusion.
Copy !req
455. Just a parlor trick.
Copy !req
456. What are you,
some kind of magician?
Copy !req
457. Who, me?
Copy !req
458. Oh, hardly.
Copy !req
459. Now, uh, before you,
uh, faint dead away
Copy !req
460. I ought to explain that
the name isn't really ross...
Copy !req
461. and, uh, I wasn't
really going to boston.
Copy !req
462. No, I was sent
Copy !req
463. as a kind of
advance scout.
Copy !req
464. You know, these, uh...
cigarettes, do you call them?
Copy !req
465. They taste wonderful.
Copy !req
466. We haven't got a thing
like this on mars.
Copy !req
467. That's incidentally
where I come from.
Copy !req
468. We're beginning to colonize.
Copy !req
469. My friends will be arriving
very shortly.
Copy !req
470. I think they're
going to like it here.
Copy !req
471. It's a lovely area.
Copy !req
472. So... so remote, so pleasant,
so off the beaten track.
Copy !req
473. Just the perfect
spot for a colony
Copy !req
474. don't you think,
mr. Haley?
Copy !req
475. While we're waiting
Copy !req
476. how about a little
what you call music?
Copy !req
477. I don't mind.
Copy !req
478. I have to do a
little waiting myself.
Copy !req
479. You see, mr. Ross...
Copy !req
480. my name isn't haley.
Copy !req
481. And I do agree with you.
Copy !req
482. This is an extraordinary
place to colonize.
Copy !req
483. We folks on venus
had the same idea.
Copy !req
484. We got it
several years ago.
Copy !req
485. And I think I really
ought to tell you now
Copy !req
486. that your friends
are not coming.
Copy !req
487. They've been
intercepted.
Copy !req
488. Oh, a colony is coming.
Copy !req
489. But it's from venus.
Copy !req
490. And if you're still alive...
Copy !req
491. I think you'll see
how we differ.
Copy !req
492. And I agree with you
Copy !req
493. about what they
call music.
Copy !req
494. Why don't you
play some?
Copy !req
495. Incident on a small island,
to be believed or disbelieved.
Copy !req
496. However, if a sour-faced dandy
named ross
Copy !req
497. or a big, good-natured
counterman who handles a spatula
Copy !req
498. as if he'd been born with one
in his mouth
Copy !req
499. if either of these two entities
walk onto your premises
Copy !req
500. you better hold their hands-
all three of them-
Copy !req
501. or check the color of
their eyes- all three of them.
Copy !req
502. The gentlemen in question
Copy !req
503. might try to pull you
into the twilight zone.
Copy !req
504. Rod serling, creator
of the twilight zone
Copy !req
505. will tell you
about next week's story
Copy !req
506. after this word
from our alternate sponsor.
Copy !req
507. And now, mr. Serling.
Copy !req
508. Mr. Burgess meredith is no
stranger to the twilight zone
Copy !req
509. but his role
in next week's story
Copy !req
510. is a unique one, even for him.
Copy !req
511. The time will be the future,
the place just about anywhere
Copy !req
512. where men have been taken over
by a machine state.
Copy !req
513. Our story is called
"the obsolete man."
Copy !req
514. It may chill, it may provoke
Copy !req
515. but we're rather certain
it will leave a mark.
Copy !req
516. Next week onthe twilight zone,
"the obsolete man."
