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. Good morning, mr. Templeton.

9. Our new guest this week, marty-

10. his name is what?

11. Page, sir.

12. Mr. Edward page.

13. Page.

14. Page, page.

15. Has he been here before?

16. No, sir. He's new.

17. Oh.

18. These new, too?

19. Yes, sir.

20. Every hour on the hour.

21. Hmm.

22. Mrs. Templeton is not very discreet these days,

23. is she?

24. Well, her discretion was an early fatality.

25. It didn't last very long.

26. Perhaps she's waiting for the day

27. when these won't do

28. what they're designed to do.

29. Perhaps I'm waiting for that day, too.

30. Mr. Templeton, you shouldn't say that.

31. Oh, don't distress yourself, old friend.

32. When a man my age marries a woman her age,

33. he gets exactly what he deserves.

34. I'm old, marty.

35. Oh, mr. Templeton, you could never be old.

36. Old and getting older

37. every minute that we stand here speaking.

38. They say- or at least they've said it

39. in most of my plays-

40. that when a man achieves years

41. he achieves reason and contentment.

42. I haven't.

43. Mr. Templeton, may I suggest

44. that possibly this isn't the day

45. for you to go down there?

46. Perhaps I should telephone the theater

47. and explain that you can't start rehearsals.

48. Well, thank you, marty, but I'll go down there.

49. I shall rehearse this play,

50. and it will open.

51. I shall cover up the years with makeup,

52. and I shall stand in the right places

53. and hope to say the right lines

54. and, when it's over, they'll all say to me,

55. "you were wonderful, mr. Templeton."

56. Then the stage manager will see to it

57. that I'm properly delivered to you

58. so that you can properly deliver me back here

59. so that I can go back there

60. and do it all over again next night.

61. I won't see,

62. nor particularly care,

63. about what's going on outside there,

64. or anywhere in this house.

65. All I want will be to go to bed, marty.

66. That's the best place for me-

67. bed, sleep, oblivion.

68. Now, sir, you shouldn't talk like that.

69. Oh, it doesn't matter.

70. I don't love her anymore.

71. I don't remember when I did.

72. You know, I can't recall

73. one single, separated, contented moment.

74. I haven't had many contented moments in my life.

75. But I do recall some.

76. Long ago.

77. Laura.

78. The freshest, most radiant creature god ever created.

79. 18 when I married her, marty.

80. 25 when she died.

81. Why did he have to take her?

82. Please, mr. Templeton, sir,

83. don't do this to yourself.

84. You know, there are some moments in life

85. that have an indescribable loveliness to them.

86. Those moments with laura...

87. are all I have left now.

88. Do you understand that, marty?

89. Yes, mr. Templeton. I believe I do, sir.

90. But it...

91. don't distress yourself, old friend.

92. I'm all right.

93. I'm quite all right.

94. Pleased to present for your consideration

95. mr. Booth templeton,

96. serious and successful star of over 30 broadway plays,

97. who is not quite all right today.

98. Yesterday and its memories is what he wants,

99. and yesterday is what he'll get.

100. Soon his years and his troubles will descend on him

101. in an avalanche.

102. In order not to be crushed,

103. mr. Booth templeton will escape from his theater and his world,

104. and make his debut on another stage

105. in another world that we call the twilight zone.

106. You're late, booth.

107. After 12:00.

108. The boy wonder won't like it, kiddo.

109. Who is the boy wonder?

110. Arthur willis, directing.

111. No, no, no. You must be mistaken.

112. Dothmeager's our director.

113. Was. Canned him last night.

114. What?

115. We need someone with more pep, zip.

116. Not my racket,

117. but I know what's good and what's bad

118. as well as the next guy.

119. And I wanted to drop by this morning

120. and let everybody know

121. that I'm personally interested in this thing.

122. Art willis is okay with you, isn't he?

123. Well, I've heard of him, of course

124. but I... I don't actually know him

125. uh... mr. Uh...

126. I'm sid sperry.

127. Remember?

128. My money is backing this play.

129. Oh, yes, of course, mr. Sperry.

130. I'm rather forgetful about names.

131. Always have been.

132. It's okay.

133. Just so long as you don't forget your lines.

134. I say this once,

135. just once.

136. And only once.

137. But I say it now

138. and expect each and every one of you

139. to understand it.

140. Michael franz is producing this play.

141. Mr. Coombs has written it.

142. You have been hired to act in it,

143. and I have been contracted

144. to direct it.

145. So make no mistake

146. about what we are here to do,

147. and make no mistake about me.

148. I will direct this play myway at all times.

149. Is that clear?

150. Like that.

151. Like that very much.

152. In control, that boy, right from the start.

153. Give us a good play.

154. Us, mister...?

155. Sperry, templeton.

156. Sperry.

157. Yes, mr. Sperry.

158. I... I apologize.

159. That was impolite of me.

160. I won't forget again.

161. Call his home! Call his home!

162. Valencia.

163. Never mind.

164. Some of us are young.

165. Some of us are old.

166. But neither state precludes any of us,

167. young or old,

168. from ignoring the basic cooperation

169. that will be necessary here.

170. When I direct,

171. there are no significant personalities

172. in the cast of any play,

173. but there are three significant dates

174. in the life of a play...

175. the first day of rehearsal, opening night, closing night.

176. The last two are related and dependent upon the first.

177. Therefore, the first day of rehearsal

178. is an extremely important day.

179. When I call rehearsal

180. for 12:00, templeton,

181. I meant 12:00 for everyone,

182. young and old-

183. everyone to be in his place

184. and ready to work at 12:00 sharp.

185. Are you ready

186. to work with us, templeton?

187. I asked you a question.

188. I expect an answer.

189. Answer me!

190. Answer me, templeton!

191. Speak up, templeton!

192. Speak up!

193. No...

194. come back here, templeton.

195. Booth!

196. Come back!

197. Templeton! Come back here!

198. Booth templeton in the great seed?

199. 1927's big hit?

200. 1927.

201. That's more than 30 years ago.

202. Barney flueger.

203. Barney!

204. Hey, mr. Templeton.

205. What year is this?

206. 1927.

207. Say, you're not trying to kid me,

208. are you, mr. Templeton?

209. Most assuredly I'm not.

210. Your wife just phoned

211. and said for you to meet her

212. at freddie iaccino's.

213. My wife?

214. But laura's dead.

215. Well, she's the best-looking ghost

216. I ever saw, mr. Templeton.

217. No offense, of course.

218. Where's laura?

219. Where did you say she's waiting for me?

220. At freddie iaccino's, just around the corner.

221. Hello, booth.

222. Freddie.

223. Yeah, what?

224. It is you.

225. You're alive.

226. Sure.

227. What did you expect?

228. Can't be too careful these days.

229. All the time somebody's wanting a raid or something.

230. What'll it be tonight, steaks or chops?

231. What?

232. Well, your wife's having the kansas city.

233. She isn't at our usual table.

234. She's over there.

235. Well?

236. What?

237. Steaks or chops?

238. No, nothing. Nothing to eat tonight, freddie.

239. We're not staying very long.

240. Oh, barney, you're a scream.

241. Oh, hi.

242. Hi, booth.

243. We didn't wait.

244. Barney.

245. Barney flueger.

246. The same.

247. To know him is to love him.

248. Sit down, old man.

249. I'll be right back.

250. Laura... laura, darling.

251. Booth, my goodness.

252. Come on, sit down.

253. The kansas city's great tonight.

254. It's juicy.

255. See? I told you.

256. Laura, I...

257. what's the matter?

258. You look worried.

259. Hmm?

260. Booth, how many times

261. have I told you

262. to take your makeup off

263. before you come in here.

264. Makeup?

265. Laura... laura, darling,

266. let's go someplace else.

267. Somewhere where it's quieter.

268. Where there aren't so many people.

269. Why?

270. Well, I want to talk to you, laura.

271. Well, I want to have a good time.

272. Oh, yoo-hoo!

273. Could you get me another of these, please?

274. Thank you.

275. But I have to talk to you, laura.

276. Well?

277. I...

278. oh, laura, darling...

279. I'm here.

280. I don't know for how long,

281. or even how I got here,

282. or-or who put me here, but I'm here

283. and I want to make good use of the time.

284. I want to have you alone to myself.

285. Booth, don't be dull.

286. Aren't you going to eat, old chap?

287. New band's swell.

288. Laura, laura... barney...

289. you better order.

290. Yeah. He's right, honey.

291. Listen to me, you two...

292. oh, it's so hot tonight.

293. Hey, george, bring him one of these.

294. I'll be glad to get into a cold tub.

295. Booth, will you tell me why,

296. on this glad, green earth,

297. you're wearing an overcoat for

298. on a night like this?

299. Will you tell me now, booth?

300. I mean, really.

301. I'm not so certain

302. that it is a glad, green earth.

303. Oh, laura, laura, darling...

304. barney...

305. I'm not so certain of this earth,

306. or of anything in it, right now.

307. I... oh, please, listen to me.

308. Listen to me, won't you?

309. Laura, laura, something's happened.

310. Something very strange.

311. Please try to understand.

312. This... this isn't makeup.

313. I've grown older, darling.

314. In another world, many...

315. for many, many lonely years...

316. I've had only a memory of you

317. to live on.

318. You, too, barney.

319. Why, you were

320. my one and only best friend.

321. But both of you have been only memories for a long time.

322. And now, tonight...

323. or today, or... whatever it is,

324. and wherever I am in... in space or time,

325. I have you back again.

326. You're alive.

327. You didn't die.

328. Life is going on here.

329. It's just as if you never died-

330. either of you.

331. You do understand, don't you?

332. Oh, sure.

333. Laura, do you understand?

334. Sure.

335. Come on, let's have a good time, huh?

336. Laura...

337. why are you so different?

338. Well, that's the way I am, booth.

339. That's the way it is.

340. I mean, what did you expect?

341. Yes, old chap, whatdidyou expect?

342. I...

343. I don't know.

344. But you were my love.

345. Everywhere, at all times.

346. Why, we couldn't walk a street or sit in a restaurant

347. without everybody knowing

348. that we were in love.

349. Are you finished?

350. I don't like what you've become.

351. Shut up.

352. Shut up, both of you! Shut up!

353. Laura, laura, come with me.

354. No.

355. You're a silly old fool of a man.

356. That's for me.

357. Stop it! Stop it!

358. Why don't you go back where you came from?

359. We don't want you here.

360. Oh, yeah, come on...

361. no, no, please, please.

362. Oh, come on...

363. did it happen?

364. "What to do when booth comes back."

365. "Table in speakeasy.

366. "Enter booth as laura throws back her head

367. "and laughs too shrilly.

368. 'You're a scream, barney. A real... '"

369. 'the same.

370. "'To know him is to love him.

371. Sit down, old chap.'"

372. 'Why don't you go back where you came from?

373. We don't want you here.'"

374. Acting.

375. They were acting for me.

376. They wanted me to go back to my own life...

377. and live it.

378. Templeton.

379. One question:

380. Are you in or are you out?

381. I am definitely... in.

382. And it is definitely mr. Templeton,

383. especially to one so young as you.

384. Now, wait a minute...

385. excuse me, mr. Sperry, but I never allow anyone

386. not directly connected with the production

387. to attend my rehearsals.

388. I insist upon that.

389. Just who do you think you are?

390. Sidney... run along.

391. Now, then, shall we start rehearsal?

392. I'd like that, mr. Templeton.

393. I've just had a most remarkable experience, young man.

394. I couldn't possibly expect you to comprehend it,

395. but I'm going to tell you about it anyway...

396. someday.

397. You know, you were right.

398. The first day of rehearsal

399. isthe most important date in the life of a play.

400. Mr. Booth templeton,

401. who shared with most human beings the hunger

402. to recapture the past moments-

403. the ones that soften with the years.

404. But, in his case,

405. the characters of his past blocked him out

406. and sent him back to his own time,

407. which is where we find him now-

408. mr. Booth templeton,

409. who had a round-trip ticket into the twilight zone.

410. Rod serling, the creator oftwilight zone,

411. will tell you about next week's story

412. after this word from our alternate sponsor.

413. And now, mr. Serling.

414. In this $28 a day hotel suite

415. live three human beings who have larceny in them

416. from their toes to where they part their hair.

417. Amongst the loot of one evening's caper is this camera,

418. which they soon discover has most unique properties-

419. it takes pictures of the future.

420. Stick around for the development,

421. next week, onthe twilight zone.
