1. You're traveling through another dimension.

2. A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind,

3. a journey into a wondrous land.

4. Whose boundaries are that of imagination.

5. Your next stop, the twilight zone.

6. The fleet's in.

7. It isn't the fleet, is it?

8. It's the army.

9. The army's in.

10. Hooray for the army!

11. Get the troops out of the hot sun.

12. Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay!

13. Your orders, colonel... General... whatever you are.

14. I'm a major.

15. Don't fret.

16. Advancement comes quickly, even in the peacetime army.

17. Today, a major; Tomorrow, a brigadier.

18. Major to brigadier, that's not bad.

19. You're generous, old sport.

20. You... you're really very generous.

21. Problem?

22. Problem? No.

23. No. No problem.

24. It's just that... just that what?

25. A couple of very unimportant items

26. seem to have eluded me, like... who I am.

27. You said you were a major.

28. Major: Hey, wait a minute.

29. Wait a minute.

30. Who are you?

31. What are you doing here?

32. Is there a circus around here somewhere?

33. A circus?

34. Yeah.

35. Yeah, there must be a circus.

36. A clown... a circus?

37. An officer... a war!

38. That's logic, isn't it?

39. But it doesn't figure at all.

40. Not at all.

41. Why not?

42. Because there is no circus, and there is no war.

43. You're just like the rest of us.

44. The rest of us?

45. What's going on here?

46. Where are we?

47. What are we?

48. Who are we?

49. Who are we?

50. Ballerina: None of us knows, major.

51. We don't know who we are.

52. We don't know where we are.

53. Each of us woke up one moment.

54. Here we were in the darkness.

55. How could that happen?

56. That's the question we asked ourselves.

57. A question with no answer, major.

58. Nameless things with no memory.

59. No knowledge of what went before.

60. No understanding of what is now.

61. No knowledge of what will be.

62. How long will we be here?

63. That's a very good question.

64. That's the best question of all.

65. But nobody knows the answer.

66. Clown... hobo... ballet dancer.

67. Bagpiper... and an army major.

68. A collection of question marks.

69. Five improbable entities.

70. Stuck together into a pit of darkness.

71. No logic, no reason, no explanation.

72. Just a prolonged nightmare

73. in which fear, loneliness and the unexplainable

74. walk hand in hand through the shadows.

75. In a moment, we'll start collecting clues

76. as to the whys, the what's and the wheres.

77. We will not end the nightmare

78. we'll only explain it.

79. Because this is the Twilight Zone.

80. Very active chap.

81. Got to function. Compulsive worker.

82. You a big-time psychologist, huh?

83. I'm a clown,

84. which is neither here, there or anyplace.

85. I could be a certified public accountant,

86. a financier, a left-handed pitcher

87. who throws only curves.

88. What difference does it make?

89. ♪ We're here because we're here ♪

90. ♪ because we're... ♪

91. ♪ Here ♪

92. ♪ because we're ♪

93. ♪ here? ♪

94. You're wasting your time. You know that, don't you?

95. You're an idiot.

96. An energetic idiot, but an idiot.

97. I want out of here.

98. I'm not satisfied to sit around here heaving deep sighs.

99. I want out of here!

100. You've got no monopoly on that, major.

101. We all want out of here.

102. Seconded.

103. But you're wastin' your time, major.

104. Each of us has gone around like a bloodhound

105. nose to wall, nose to floor.

106. What's up there?

107. You name it.

108. Sky, artificial light, fluorescent lamp,

109. an illuminated microscope... you name it.

110. One guess is as good as the other.

111. Maybe we're on another planet.

112. Or maybe we're on a spaceship

113. going to another planet.

114. Maybe we're all insane

115. or maybe this is a mirage... an illusion.

116. We're dead, and this is limbo.

117. We don't really exist.

118. We're dream figures from somebody else's existence.

119. Or we're each of us having a dream,

120. and everyone else is part of the other person's dream.

121. You call it, you can have it.

122. That's the one thing we have an abundance of:

123. Possibilities.

124. An infinite number of possibilities.

125. How about getting out of here?

126. Anybody examine that possibility?

127. Have you, major?

128. We're trapped down here.

129. There's no way out, man.

130. This is a nightmare.

131. Must be a nightmare.

132. Is indeed, but whose?

133. Yours? Mine?

134. The scotsman, the ballet dancer

135. just whose nightmare is it?

136. Someone knows we're here.

137. How so?

138. They have to.

139. You've all been here awhile... possibly a long while.

140. Someone must feed you.

141. Someone must give you water.

142. Well? Someone must bring food down.

143. There's been no food or water.

144. But we'll starve to death, or we'll die of thirst.

145. Do you feel hungry, major?

146. Or thirsty?

147. Or heat or cold or fatigue or discomfort?

148. Or anything?

149. Do you feel anything, major?

150. No, I don't feel anything, but it's understandable

151. that I don't feel hungry or thirsty

152. this is shock... or the aftermath of shock.

153. None of us feel anything.

154. None of us have felt anything

155. since we've been here.

156. And we've been here for an endless time.

157. This is incredible!

158. This is really incredible!

159. Have you shouted?!

160. Endlessly.

161. Well, have you pounded on the walls?

162. I mean, loud.

163. Have you taken off your shoe and pounded on the walls?

164. Have you done that?

165. Often.

166. Have you looked all around?

167. Have you felt the walls?

168. Maybe there's button or a lever,

169. or maybe there's a panel of some kind.

170. Maybe there's a control button.

171. For what?

172. For a long while, that's all we did.

173. Hunted and searched,

174. peered and looked and felt.

175. Then we discovered that this was the universe right here.

176. For our purposes, this is the universe.

177. This little room.

178. What was that?

179. What was that noise?

180. A giant bell or something.

181. That's what it sounds like.

182. Hey!

183. Hey, up there!

184. Let us out!

185. Let us out of here... please!

186. Please, major, don't be afraid.

187. It's hard in the beginning

188. but, after a while

189. girl, why don't you dance for us?

190. It makes the time pass.

191. I'll play for you.

192. The major's never seen you dance.

193. The major doesn't want to see her dance.

194. The major is not interested!

195. All the major wants to do is get out of here!

196. Too high.

197. Nothing!

198. Through the wall!

199. Did you ever think of that?

200. That's very bright!

201. Terribly ingenious!

202. Highly imaginative!

203. Incredibly inventive!

204. With what?

205. The hands?

206. The fingernails?

207. With this!

208. With this!

209. Please, major.

210. After a while, it'll be a lot easier.

211. Perhaps there are a lot of dungeons like this.

212. Maybe we've just never heard of them before.

213. Perhaps they're for the unloved.

214. Perhaps that's who we are... the unloved.

215. We must have names.

216. We're people.

217. And that means we belong somewhere.

218. There must be others who care about us

219. because somewhere, somehow,

220. we have a life that has been cut away from us.

221. We've got to get it back, each one of us.

222. We'll dig a tunnel.

223. I know where we are.

224. It suddenly occurs to me.

225. Ballerina: Where are we?

226. Why, my dear young lady, how unobservant

227. when the whole thing all fits together.

228. Please tell me where we are.

229. Ladies and gentlemen, it seems very apparent

230. it seems quite unequivocally

231. we... all of us... we are in hell.

232. God help us.

233. We are in hell.

234. Never say die, that one.

235. He'll come to it eventually,

236. just as we did.

237. Let him be.

238. Let him have his fun.

239. At least he's trying.

240. He is, indeed!

241. He's been trying for several hours now.

242. It's metal, I think... Circular, smooth.

243. No place to climb up.

244. All of which we could

245. have told you hours ago.

246. Well

247. we'll have to think of something else.

248. Do! Do!

249. Perhaps we could pretend that we're acrobats.

250. Alley oop!

251. And over the top!

252. Wait a minute.

253. Oh, come, now.

254. This is becoming a little ridiculous.

255. Why not?

256. Why not what?

257. What you said.

258. Acrobatics.

259. Clown: A figure of speech.

260. Not meant to be taken seriously.

261. We have somehow forfeited some of our human dignity,

262. but we are governed by human frailty,

263. not the least of which is gravity.

264. Perhaps you know some acrobatics I'm quite unaware of.

265. I see what she's getting at.

266. Don't any of you see it?

267. One on top of the other,

268. standing on each other's shoulders.

269. How about that?

270. Isn't that the way they do it in circuses?

271. I'll ask him when he comes in.

272. I assure you that,

273. though I may wear the costume of a clown,

274. I have no recollection of having been one.

275. It's true we don't feel hunger or thirst,

276. but pain is another thing.

277. And a drop from 20 feet up

278. down to this hard floor

279. that is a sensation I would as leave do without.

280. It's a chance.

281. Ma'am, no, thank you.

282. Major: But she's right.

283. It is a chance.

284. Major: Now, come on!

285. We'll go on the first person,

286. so I'll start.

287. The clown on my shoulders,

288. and the tramp and the bagpiper,

289. and then the girl.

290. Now, how about it?

291. We'd never reach it.

292. Tramp: We could try.

293. Who's to say we wouldn't reach it?

294. We're not sure how high it is.

295. That's the point.

296. We would be exerting ourselves for nothing.

297. Now, all sit down and have a little entertainment.

298. Come on. Let's try it.

299. Come on, clown!

300. On my shoulders!

301. Things were far more simple

302. before you arrived.

303. However, I go with the majority.

304. Bagpiper: All right, miss.

305. It's up to you.

306. Can you see the top?

307. Is there a ledge or anything?

308. It's several more feet to the top.

309. Come on.

310. Take your time.

311. You can make it.

312. I can't reach it.

313. It's just a little above me.

314. Try. Stretch.

315. Stretch a little.

316. All of us stretch.

317. Try.

318. You've got to try.

319. How's your leg?

320. I-I-I think I strained it, but I'll be all right.

321. How much farther?

322. Mow much more would it have taken?

323. I could almost feel it.

324. You were almost there.

325. A miss is as good as a mile.

326. Not in this case.

327. A miss by two or three inches

328. that's hardly a mile.

329. Oh. Here's what we'll do next.

330. The same thing without the girl.

331. The clown on the bottom.

332. Then the tramp.

333. Then the bagpiper.

334. Then I climb up.

335. A rope around the haft of this sword

336. fling it over the ledge

337. and let it hook on the edge.

338. But hadn't one of us better run over

339. to the hardware store and pick up the rope?

340. He's right. We have no rope.

341. Strips of cloth.

342. Part of anything we're wearing.

343. Now, come on!

344. It's a chance!

345. Here!

346. All right.

347. Six yards of excellent material

348. courtesy of cariaggio of Miami.

349. This time we make it.

350. A rope around the haft of this sword.

351. Fling it over the edge

352. and let it hook right on the ledge.

353. I'm up and away.

354. Then what?

355. We'll worry about that when it happens.

356. Somehow I'll get you out of here,

357. but none of us gets out

358. until one of us gets out.

359. Now that is the logic that you can live with.

360. Well, what's there?

361. What do you see?

362. Major... where are we?

363. Brave man.

364. Not a very bright one.

365. Come back for us.

366. I know he will.

367. He may be back, but it won't be to get us.

368. He may have been right at that.

369. He may have been very right.

370. This may be hell.

371. I found this in the snow.

372. Someone must have dropped it.

373. Oh. Thank you, dear.

374. Just drop that in the barrel over there, will you?

375. You don't have very many, do you?

376. Oh, dear, no, not nearly enough.

377. It's for the orphans, you know.

378. But it's early, and we've only just started.

379. Dolls for Christmas!

380. Dolls for Christmas!

381. Dolls for Christmas!

382. Dolls for Christmas!

383. Open your hearts, dear people!

384. Just a barrel.

385. A dark depository where are kept the counterfeit.

386. Make-believe pieces of plaster and cloth.

387. Wrought in the distorted image of human life.

388. But this added hopeful note.

389. Perhaps they are unloved only for the moment.

390. In the arms of children there can be nothing but love.

391. A clown, a tramp, a bagpipe player,

392. a ballet dancer and a major.

393. Tonight's cast of players on the odd stage.

394. Known as the twilight zone.

395. Announcer: Rod serling, creator of the twilight zone,

396. will tell you about next week's story.

397. After this message.

398. And now, Mr. Serling.

399. Next week, Mr. Dean stock well

400. makes his journey into the twilight zone

401. playing the role of a platoon lieutenant on corregidor

402. during the last few hours of world war ii.

403. What happens to him provides the basis

404. of a weird, and yet, we think, haunting excursion

405. into the shadow land of imagination.

406. On the twilight zone next week,

407. Mr. Dean stock well stars in "the quality of mercy."

408. This is James arness.

409. You know, it's only a short hop.

410. From the twilight zone to dodge city in gun smoke.

411. Saturday nights over most of these stations.
