1. You're traveling
through another dimension
Copy !req
2. a dimension not only of sight
and sound, but of mind,
Copy !req
3. a journey into a wondrous land
Copy !req
4. whose boundaries
are that of imagination.
Copy !req
5. Your next stop, the twilight zone.
Copy !req
6. Rachel, open up in there.
Copy !req
7. Got my arms full.
Copy !req
8. Well, old man, what are
you hollering about?
Copy !req
9. You going to suffocate
in there from lack of air.
Copy !req
10. Why don't you leave the door open?
Copy !req
11. I got to keep that dog
out of the house somehow
Copy !req
12. coming in here with his
fleas and with his ticks.
Copy !req
13. Aw, old woman, don't start
that commotion up again.
Copy !req
14. When I go in the
house, rip goes, too.
Copy !req
15. That dog saved my life.
Copy !req
16. Well let the ornery
thing come in.
Copy !req
17. And another thing don't
talk about him like that
Copy !req
18. when he can hear you.
Copy !req
19. Rip's got feelings.
Copy !req
20. I don't want them hurt.
Copy !req
21. I'll let him in the house,
Copy !req
22. and I'll feed him, but I'll be switched
Copy !req
23. if I'm going to start sweet-talking him.
Copy !req
24. Old woman, you tickle me sometimes.
Copy !req
25. Uh, when's the last time
you got yourself kissed?
Copy !req
26. Well, the way I figure it,
Copy !req
27. it was in the spring of
nineteen and twenty-four.
Copy !req
28. Well, I figure you got one coming.
Copy !req
29. Don't you come near me, old man.
Copy !req
30. Yes, sir, I've been thinking
about giving you a kiss
Copy !req
31. for the last month or two.
Copy !req
32. Oh, Hyder, you sit down
and eat your supper
Copy !req
33. and stop talking silly.
Copy !req
34. I'll have my supper now, old woman.
Copy !req
35. There you are.
Copy !req
36. Old man I never
said this to you,
Copy !req
37. but we have endured powerful well
Copy !req
38. over the years together.
Copy !req
39. Hmm?
Copy !req
40. Nearly 50 years we've been married, eh?
Copy !req
41. Come October 16.
Copy !req
42. Long time to travel together.
Copy !req
43. Well, I wouldn't have had it
any other way.
Copy !req
44. Thank you, old woman.
Copy !req
45. Me neither.
Copy !req
46. Here, rip.
Copy !req
47. I'll feed that dog after supper.
Copy !req
48. He ain't going to be here after supper.
Copy !req
49. Where's he going?
Copy !req
50. Where I'm going-coon hunting.
Copy !req
51. Oh, Hyder.
Copy !req
52. I wish you wouldn't go hunting tonight.
Copy !req
53. Why not?
Copy !req
54. Well, three nights ago, I
saw blood on the moon.
Copy !req
55. You ought to have been in bed sleeping.
Copy !req
56. You wouldn't have seen it.
Copy !req
57. And two days ago,
a bird flew in the house
Copy !req
58. and lit on your side of the bed
and nearly scared me to death.
Copy !req
59. There you go, trying to spoil a good hunt.
Copy !req
60. Well, I'm a-going anyways.
Copy !req
61. Them signs don't bother me at all.
Copy !req
62. Well, they bother me.
Copy !req
63. Now, you be careful, old man.
Copy !req
64. Don't you worry about me, old woman.
Copy !req
65. I'll be back even before
midnight, more'n likely.
Copy !req
66. An old man and a hound dog named rip
Copy !req
67. off for an evening's pleasure
in quest of raccoon.
Copy !req
68. Usually, these evenings end
Copy !req
69. with one tired old man,
one battle-scarred hound dog
Copy !req
70. and one or more
extremely dead raccoons,
Copy !req
71. but as you may suspect, that
will not be the case tonight.
Copy !req
72. These hunters won't be
coming home from the hill.
Copy !req
73. They're headed for the backwoods
of the twilight zone.
Copy !req
74. Smell him out there, boy.
Copy !req
75. He's around here somewheres.
Copy !req
76. You can get him.
Copy !req
77. Tree'd him, didn't you, boy?
Copy !req
78. Rip, don't want to doubt your word,
Copy !req
79. but there ain't no coon up there.
Copy !req
80. Trick ya, didn't he, boy?
Copy !req
81. Hold it back there, rip.
Copy !req
82. Come back here, rip!
Copy !req
83. Don't go in there!
Copy !req
84. I'll pull you out, rip!
Copy !req
85. Come back here, rip!
Copy !req
86. Hold on, hold on there, rip.
Copy !req
87. Come back here!
Copy !req
88. That coon'll drown you, rip.
Copy !req
89. That coon's got him down.
Copy !req
90. Huh! I'm coming, rip.
Copy !req
91. I'm coming, rip, hold it!
Copy !req
92. I'm coming!
Copy !req
93. Rip we must have trailed
that coon half the night.
Copy !req
94. Hungry, ain't you, boy?
Copy !req
95. Yeah, me, too.
Copy !req
96. So let's mosey along home
Copy !req
97. and see what Rachel’s got for breakfast.
Copy !req
98. That old woman gives us
"hail, Columbia"
Copy !req
99. for staying out all night.
Copy !req
100. I figure that's about deep enough.
Copy !req
101. That ain't more than three feet.
Copy !req
102. Three feet's deep enough for a dog.
Copy !req
103. Any ordinary dog, maybe,
Copy !req
104. but according to old man Simpson,
Copy !req
105. rip ain't no ordinary dog.
Copy !req
106. Then you dig it.
Copy !req
107. It'll be kind of lonesome around
here without old man Simpson.
Copy !req
108. Morning, boys.
Copy !req
109. Reckon them miller boys
gotten hard of hearing.
Copy !req
110. What you old boys up to?
Copy !req
111. Say, what you doing?
Copy !req
112. All right, don't answer me, then.
Copy !req
113. I don't give a hoot what you're doing.
Copy !req
114. If I ain't mistaken,
Copy !req
115. you're digging this hole on my land.
Copy !req
116. Now, if you want to dig,
dig on your side of the fence.
Copy !req
117. Get moving.
Copy !req
118. I say get moving!
Copy !req
119. I ain't talking
just to move the wind around.
Copy !req
120. You get a move on
Copy !req
121. or I'm going to fill your
britches full of lead!
Copy !req
122. I figure that's just about deep enough.
Copy !req
123. Have a little care.
Copy !req
124. It's just a dog.
Copy !req
125. Not to some folks.
Copy !req
126. Why didn't you tell me you'd lost a dog?
Copy !req
127. How'd it happen?
Copy !req
128. Don't reckon I blame you for not talking.
Copy !req
129. I don't reckon I would myself.
Copy !req
130. Well, rip, we're butting in
on other folks' troubles.
Copy !req
131. They're just too heart broke to talk.
Copy !req
132. And speaking of trouble,
Copy !req
133. that old woman's going to have
plenty of that for us.
Copy !req
134. Come on.
Copy !req
135. Looks to me like, rip, maybe
we got us a stroke of luck.
Copy !req
136. Could be the old woman's still sleeping.
Copy !req
137. Morning.
Copy !req
138. All dressed up like the fourth of July.
Copy !req
139. Old woman, if you're figuring
Copy !req
140. on leaving me on account
on I stayed out all night,
Copy !req
141. you got another thing coming.
Copy !req
142. Lord be with you, sister.
Copy !req
143. Amen, brother.
Copy !req
144. I appreciate your coming,
even though he didn't belong
Copy !req
145. to the church.
Copy !req
146. I just never could get him to go.
Copy !req
147. I realize brother Simpson
wasn't a religious man,
Copy !req
148. but I figure he's still
entitled to a christian burial.
Copy !req
149. Now, just... just hold everything.
Copy !req
150. Anybody's going to give
brother Simpson a burial
Copy !req
151. you'd better ask brother Simpson
how he feels about it.
Copy !req
152. I just been sitting here
trying to figure it out.
Copy !req
153. It was just last night.
Copy !req
154. He was sitting there at the supper table.
Copy !req
155. I begged him not to go.
Copy !req
156. There's been omens.
Copy !req
157. I've seen signs.
Copy !req
158. But he went.
Copy !req
159. The lord works in mysterious ways.
Copy !req
160. Rachel, listen to me there's
been a misunderstanding.
Copy !req
161. Miss Rachel, if
you're ready, ma'am.
Copy !req
162. Well, he's in there.
Copy !req
163. Oh.
Copy !req
164. Don't take on, old woman.
Copy !req
165. It's just a dream.
Copy !req
166. We'll wake up in a little
Copy !req
167. and everything'll be like it ought to be.
Copy !req
168. What you old boys got in there?
Copy !req
169. What you old boys taking out of there?
Copy !req
170. Oh!
Copy !req
171. Who's in that box?
Copy !req
172. We'll find out what all this is about
Copy !req
173. in a minute or two, rip.
Copy !req
174. The graveyard's just over
the top of the hill there.
Copy !req
175. Now, who in the tarnation
built this fence up here?
Copy !req
176. Rip, we must have taken a wrong turn.
Copy !req
177. I don't memorize
ever seeing this fence before.
Copy !req
178. Well, we're bound
to come out somewhere.
Copy !req
179. Hello!
Copy !req
180. Anybody home in there?
Copy !req
181. Howdy, neighbor.
Copy !req
182. Howdy.
Copy !req
183. I wasn't expecting nobody this morning.
Copy !req
184. Don't want to put you
to no trouble, friend,
Copy !req
185. but it seems like I lost my way.
Copy !req
186. That's what everybody says at first.
Copy !req
187. Now, what's your name, friend?
Copy !req
188. Simpson-Hyder Simpson.
Copy !req
189. I belong to that bunch of Simpsons
Copy !req
190. lives over on whale's mountain.
Copy !req
191. Rip and me here we never
have traveled this far before.
Copy !req
192. Never have traveled so far
Copy !req
193. we couldn't see the top
of whale's mountain.
Copy !req
194. How old are you, neighbor Simpson?
Copy !req
195. Well, sir, I been walking the earth
Copy !req
196. for something like 70 year now.
Copy !req
197. Arrived at the gate, uh, 10:45
Copy !req
198. I know it's none of my
business, but would you tell me
Copy !req
199. what you're writing down in that book?
Copy !req
200. One more thing, neighbor
Simpson how'd you die?
Copy !req
201. I was born with a cheap set of ears.
Copy !req
202. I'm not sure I heard you right.
Copy !req
203. I said, "how did you die?"
Copy !req
204. Who claims I'm dead?
Copy !req
205. You wouldn't be here if you wasn't dead.
Copy !req
206. Man, that's solid flesh and bone there.
Copy !req
207. You feel that.
Copy !req
208. Think back, neighbor.
Copy !req
209. What did you do last night?
Copy !req
210. Well, sir, I'll tell you
exactly what I done.
Copy !req
211. Me and rip, we left the house
long about suppertime,
Copy !req
212. and rip, he picked up
a coon trail right away,
Copy !req
213. and like a coon will,
it headed for the water
Copy !req
214. and rip didn't do nothing
Copy !req
215. but go in after him.
Copy !req
216. About that time, I got there,
Copy !req
217. and I was running out on this log and I
Copy !req
218. hey, friend, what's on the other side
Copy !req
219. of that gate there?
Copy !req
220. Well, that pasture right up there
Copy !req
221. they call the elysian field.
Copy !req
222. Cross that and you come
to the golden street
Copy !req
223. that takes you right
to the celestial palace
Copy !req
224. where the old master
has his headquarters.
Copy !req
225. Then I take you would aim
to be st. Peter.
Copy !req
226. I keep the gate, that's a fact.
Copy !req
227. Well, I'm mighty proud
to have met up with you.
Copy !req
228. Just as proud to have you here.
Copy !req
229. I always thought
Copy !req
230. there was a lot of singing
and dancing in heaven.
Copy !req
231. How come I don't hear no music?
Copy !req
232. You're on the outside.
Copy !req
233. Once inside, you'll hear
your favorite hymn.
Copy !req
234. Well, I don't care much for hymn singing.
Copy !req
235. I favor guitar music myself.
Copy !req
236. Don't stand out here
in the cold, cold world.
Copy !req
237. Reap your heavenly reward.
Copy !req
238. Come on, rip.
Copy !req
239. Hold on, neighbor.
Copy !req
240. You can't take that dog in there.
Copy !req
241. There ain't no fleas on that dog.
Copy !req
242. That don't make no never mind.
He can't come in.
Copy !req
243. How come?
Copy !req
244. This is folks' heaven.
Copy !req
245. There's a place we can put him,
though, up the road.
Copy !req
246. You just tie him to the fence,
Copy !req
247. and I'll walk him up later on.
Copy !req
248. Come on, rip.
Copy !req
249. Hold on, neighbor Simpson.
Copy !req
250. Where do you think you're going?
Copy !req
251. Thank you, but I don't reckon
in there is any place for me.
Copy !req
252. Why not?
Copy !req
253. Well, any place
Copy !req
254. that's too highfalutin for rip
is too fancy for me.
Copy !req
255. How thoroughbred does a dog have to be
Copy !req
256. before you let him in there, anyway?
Copy !req
257. Ain't no dogs allowed at all.
Copy !req
258. What kind of outfit don't allow no dogs?
Copy !req
259. They got that special place for dogs.
Copy !req
260. Me and rip will go on down there, then.
Copy !req
261. You won't get in.
Copy !req
262. The dog, maybe, but not you.
Copy !req
263. What kind of heaven would it be
with just dogs?
Copy !req
264. A dog's got a right to have a man around
Copy !req
265. just the same as a man's got
a right to have a dog around,
Copy !req
266. if he wants to be happy.
Copy !req
267. Neighbor, let me make you
a little proposition.
Copy !req
268. Why don't you go on in the gate,
and a little later on,
Copy !req
269. I'll slip the dog through the fence to you.
Copy !req
270. It's breaking the rules, but I'll do it.
Copy !req
271. Friend peter, if I go in that front gate,
Copy !req
272. rip's going in that front gate likewise.
Copy !req
273. I don't want him to get to
feeling that he ain't welcome.
Copy !req
274. I got another idea.
Copy !req
275. What are you doing there, mister?
Copy !req
276. I'll hold on to your dog
Copy !req
277. and let you see how you like it.
Copy !req
278. I don't have to go inside
to make up my mind.
Copy !req
279. Let me ask you a practical question:
Copy !req
280. What kind of coon hunting would
I have in there without rip?
Copy !req
281. Man, they don't allow no coon hunting.
Copy !req
282. Oh, you don't say.
Copy !req
283. Where do you think you're going?
Copy !req
284. Me and rip's going somewhere.
Copy !req
285. There ain't no place else to go.
Copy !req
286. We'll go wherever that road takes us.
Copy !req
287. Oh, that road don't lead nowhere.
Copy !req
288. This is eternity road.
Copy !req
289. It just keeps on,
never stops, leads nowhere.
Copy !req
290. Me and Rip'll do all right.
Copy !req
291. Neighbor, this is a right
serious step you're taking.
Copy !req
292. I'd say the best thing
Copy !req
293. is to sit out there and think it over.
Copy !req
294. You've got all eternity
to make up your mind.
Copy !req
295. Good day to you, sir.
Copy !req
296. If you change your mind,
just let me know.
Copy !req
297. Much obliged.
Copy !req
298. I'll do that.
Copy !req
299. Eternity's a powerful long spell to go
Copy !req
300. without a coon hunt, ain't it, rip?
Copy !req
301. Don't you go off your feed
or nothing over this thing.
Copy !req
302. Wouldn't surprise me none
if I don't sneak in there
Copy !req
303. and talk to the judge, or somebody.
Copy !req
304. Might be able to get you in.
Copy !req
305. Wonder what kind of a tea party
they keep in there, anyways.
Copy !req
306. Must be city folks, mostly.
Copy !req
307. They'd be the ones most likely
to outlaw coon hunting.
Copy !req
308. Let them sit in there
tootin' on their harps
Copy !req
309. or whatever they do for relaxation,
Copy !req
310. me and yo use stays together.
Copy !req
311. Just like we was when
we was traveling down below.
Copy !req
312. Hmm least we ain't the
only ones wandering around
Copy !req
313. by ourselves on the eternity road.
Copy !req
314. Howdy, son.
Copy !req
315. Howdy.
Copy !req
316. Ah I'm looking for a
Mr. Hyder Simpson
Copy !req
317. and a hound dog name of rip.
Copy !req
318. Well, that's us.
Copy !req
319. Well, I figured it was.
Copy !req
320. Well, if you and Rip's all set,
Copy !req
321. we might as well mosey along.
Copy !req
322. Mosey along where?
Copy !req
323. Heaven, Mr. Simpson.
Copy !req
324. Well, now, like I told that other fellow,
Copy !req
325. I ain't going to set foot
in heaven without Rip.
Copy !req
326. You didn't get messed up
with nobody in there, did you?
Copy !req
327. That fellow at the gate.
Copy !req
328. He wouldn't let Rip in, so I didn't go.
Copy !req
329. Son that'd be a hell
of a place without Rip.
Copy !req
330. Mr. Simpson you ain't far wrong.
Copy !req
331. That is hell.
Copy !req
332. Heaven's up yonder apiece.
Copy !req
333. Well, I'll be jiggered.
Copy !req
334. Now, how come that fellow
would want to lie to me?
Copy !req
335. Well, they don't never give up.
Copy !req
336. Always trying to get folks in there
Copy !req
337. right down to the last minute.
Copy !req
338. Well, what reason would they have
Copy !req
339. for wanting to keep Rip out?
Copy !req
340. They was a-feared
Rip would have warned you.
Copy !req
341. And he would have, time he got
a whiff of that brimstone.
Copy !req
342. You see, Mr. Simpson,
Copy !req
343. a man-well, he'll walk right
into hell with both eyes open,
Copy !req
344. but even the devil can't fool a dog.
Copy !req
345. You wouldn't be st. Peter, would you?
Copy !req
346. Oh, no, no, I... I’m just
a regular angel here.
Copy !req
347. Well, where's your wings, son?
Copy !req
348. Shucks, I don't use them half the time.
Copy !req
349. I appreciate walking myself.
Copy !req
350. You, uh about ready
to go, Mr. Simpson?
Copy !req
351. Uh... uh, Rip.
Copy !req
352. How's the coon hunting up here, boy?
Copy !req
353. Oh, just fine, Mr. Simpson.
Copy !req
354. There's one tonight right
after the square dance.
Copy !req
355. Want to come along?
Copy !req
356. Wouldn't miss it for the world.
Copy !req
357. Welcome to heaven, Mr. Simpson.
Copy !req
358. Thank you, son.
Copy !req
359. Right proud to be here.
Copy !req
360. Uh, Rachel-that's my old woman
Copy !req
361. she won't have any trouble
Copy !req
362. getting past that fellow
up the road, will she?
Copy !req
363. Rachel? No, not her.
Copy !req
364. And she'll be along
directly, too, I'm told.
Copy !req
365. Well, glad to hear it.
Copy !req
366. Come along, Rip.
Copy !req
367. Travelers to unknown regions
would be well advised
Copy !req
368. to take along the family dog.
Copy !req
369. He could just save you
from entering the wrong gate.
Copy !req
370. At least, it happened that way once
Copy !req
371. in a mountainous area
of the Twilight Zone.
Copy !req
372. Rod serling, creator of the Twilight Zone,
Copy !req
373. will tell you about next week's story
Copy !req
374. after this message.
Copy !req
375. And now, Mr. Serling.
Copy !req
376. Next week we offer you
a Hollywood television cowboy
Copy !req
377. who takes in several bills
a week for killing off bad men.
Copy !req
378. Mr. Larry Blyden portrays
one of these phony balonies
Copy !req
379. who always wins in the end.
Copy !req
380. But in this little item
he draws from the hip
Copy !req
381. and realizes his opponent
is smack-dab out of this world.
Copy !req
382. We invite your attention to
