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. Ladies and gentlemen.
Copy !req
7. Ladies and gentlemen, may
I have your attention, please?
Copy !req
8. Now, no birthday celebration is complete
Copy !req
9. without an after-dinner speech.
Copy !req
10. Oh, no, Jerry.
Copy !req
11. And so, let's get to the business at hand,
Copy !req
12. the honoring of Dr. William Stockton.
Copy !req
13. Now, Jerry Harlowe, you sit down.
Copy !req
14. Who today is one year older
Copy !req
15. and admits to being over 21.
Copy !req
16. And who, in the short space of 20 years
Copy !req
17. has taken care of not
only us, our children,
Copy !req
18. but even our grandchildren.
Copy !req
19. Whose grandchildren?
Copy !req
20. As a matter of fact,
Copy !req
21. I doubt if there's a
single person in this room
Copy !req
22. who still does not owe the good doctor
Copy !req
23. for a visit or two.
Copy !req
24. What about the hammering
Copy !req
25. at all hours of the night?
Copy !req
26. That's another thing we owe him for.
Copy !req
27. Ah, yes, yes, the good
doctor's bomb shelter.
Copy !req
28. Well, I'm afraid we'll have
to forgive him for all that
Copy !req
29. despite the fact that what the
doctor thinks of as farsightedness
Copy !req
30. on his part has been a real
pain in the neck to the rest of us,
Copy !req
31. what with all the concrete trucks
Copy !req
32. and the nocturnal hammering
Copy !req
33. and all the rest of it.
Copy !req
34. That's better.
Copy !req
35. Well, at any rate, when Grace mentioned
Copy !req
36. that it was the good doctor's birthday,
Copy !req
37. we all decided to take a hand
Copy !req
38. in the proceedings.
Copy !req
39. I had an idea something was going on.
Copy !req
40. No, you didn't.
Copy !req
41. Oh, yes, I did.
Copy !req
42. And Doc, as a little personal aside,
Copy !req
43. I'd like to conclude this way.
Copy !req
44. That'll probably be the
best part of the speech.
Copy !req
45. Doc, you're a very beloved fellow
Copy !req
46. and rightly so.
Copy !req
47. And you may not have
Copy !req
48. the biggest practice in medical history.
Copy !req
49. That's true.
Copy !req
50. But there isn't a single sawbones
Copy !req
51. in the entire 50 states
Copy !req
52. whose patients have such a regard…
Copy !req
53. Such affection, such respect…
Copy !req
54. For their man with the little black bag
Copy !req
55. as we do for ours.
Copy !req
56. Well done!
Copy !req
57. You dirty dog.
Copy !req
58. First a surprise party, which I abhor,
Copy !req
59. and then that sloppy, sentimental speech.
Copy !req
60. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Copy !req
61. I thought it was pretty good, Bill.
Copy !req
62. Let's take our
coffee in the other room, huh?
Copy !req
63. Pop, Pop!
Copy !req
64. Yes, Paulie, what is it?
Copy !req
65. The picture went out on the TV set.
Copy !req
66. Then there was some goofy announcement.
Copy !req
67. Hold it, everybody.
Copy !req
68. Shh, shh!
Copy !req
69. What did you say, Paul?
Copy !req
70. The announcer said something
Copy !req
71. about turn to the conelrad
station on the radio.
Copy !req
72. Are you sure that's what you heard?
Copy !req
73. I didn't hear wrong, Pop.
Copy !req
74. He said, "Turn to the conelrad station"
Copy !req
75. and then everything
went completely blank.
Copy !req
76. Direct from Washington, DC.
Copy !req
77. Repeating that:
Copy !req
78. Four minutes ago, the
president of the United States
Copy !req
79. made the following announcement.
Copy !req
80. I quote:
Copy !req
81. "At 11:04 p.m. Eastern Standard Time"
Copy !req
82. "both our distant early warning line"
Copy !req
83. "and ballistics early warning line"
Copy !req
84. "reported radar evidence
of unidentified flying objects"
Copy !req
85. "flying due southeast."
Copy !req
86. "As of this moment, we have
been unable to determine"
Copy !req
87. "the nature of these objects,"
Copy !req
88. "but for the time being, in
the interests of national safety,"
Copy !req
89. "we are declaring a state of yellow alert."
Copy !req
90. The civil defense authorities request
Copy !req
91. that if you have a
shelter already prepared,
Copy !req
92. go there at once.
Copy !req
93. Come on, Marty.
Copy !req
94. If not, use your time
Copy !req
95. to move supplies of
food, water and medicine
Copy !req
96. to a central place.
Copy !req
97. Keep all windows and doors closed.
Copy !req
98. We repeat: If you're in your home,
Copy !req
99. go to your prepared
shelters or to your basement.
Copy !req
100. What you're about to
watch is a nightmare.
Copy !req
101. It is not meant to be
prophetic, it need not happen.
Copy !req
102. It's the fervent and urgent
prayer of all men of goodwill
Copy !req
103. that it never shall happen.
Copy !req
104. But in this place, in this
moment, it does happen.
Copy !req
105. This is the Twilight Zone.
Copy !req
106. Fill up as many as you can, Grace.
Copy !req
107. I'm gonna check the air filter down there.
Copy !req
108. We'll get the rest of the stuff later.
Copy !req
109. Looks like we'll lose the power
Copy !req
110. any minute now.
Copy !req
111. Bill, there's hardly any
water coming through this tap.
Copy !req
112. Easy, honey. Easy.
Copy !req
113. Now make believe it's perfume,
Copy !req
114. and it cost a hundred dollars an ounce.
Copy !req
115. Maybe in an hour or so,
Copy !req
116. it'll be worth even more than that.
Copy !req
117. What else, Pop?
Copy !req
118. You got all the canned goods down?
Copy !req
119. Yeah, all I could find.
Copy !req
120. How about the fruit cellar, Paul?
Copy !req
121. I put those in too.
Copy !req
122. Go up to my bedroom and
get my bag. Put that in, too.
Copy !req
123. Wh… What about the books and stuff?
Copy !req
124. Paul! Your father told you to get his bag.
Copy !req
125. There's time, Grace.
There's plenty of time.
Copy !req
126. And we'll need books and things.
Copy !req
127. I don't know how long we'll
have to stay down there.
Copy !req
128. What about light bulbs?
Copy !req
129. Where do you keep the light bulbs?
Copy !req
130. Oh, on the top shelf
here of this cupboard, Bill.
Copy !req
131. Oh, we don't have any.
Copy !req
132. I ran out.
Copy !req
133. Well, I was going to buy
some at the store yesterday
Copy !req
134. because there was a sale on and…
Copy !req
135. Oh, Bill, I'm talking like some idiot.
Copy !req
136. Now, how much more time is there?
Copy !req
137. There's no telling, Grace, honey.
Copy !req
138. Conelrad says from the first alarm
Copy !req
139. we might have anywhere between 15 minutes
Copy !req
140. and a half an hour.
Copy !req
141. Fif… Fifteen minutes?
Copy !req
142. I'm just winging it, Grace.
Copy !req
143. I don't know for sure.
Copy !req
144. I don't think anyone does.
Copy !req
145. Now keep filling them.
Copy !req
146. Bill?!
Copy !req
147. There's no more water.
Copy !req
148. It doesn't make any difference anyhow.
Copy !req
149. I think we've got enough water.
Copy !req
150. You bring a jug with you, Gracie.
Copy !req
151. Paul and I will get the rest.
Copy !req
152. Now, you two stay here.
Copy !req
153. I'll get the rest of the water.
Copy !req
154. No, wait a minute.
Copy !req
155. I've slipped.
Copy !req
156. Paulie, there's a small tool kit
Copy !req
157. in the garage. Will you get it?
Copy !req
158. Right.
Copy !req
159. I'll get the rest of the water.
Copy !req
160. Grace.
Copy !req
161. Now, if it is a bomb,
Copy !req
162. there's no assurance it'll land near us,
Copy !req
163. - and if it doesn't…
- But if it does, Bill,
Copy !req
164. New York is only 40 miles away.
Copy !req
165. And New York's gonna
get it, we know that.
Copy !req
166. So we'll get it, too, all of it…
Copy !req
167. The poison, the
radiation, the whole mess.
Copy !req
168. We'll get it.
Copy !req
169. We'll be in a shelter, Grace,
Copy !req
170. and with any luck at all, we'll survive.
Copy !req
171. We've got food and water enough
Copy !req
172. to last us for two weeks…
Copy !req
173. Maybe even longer if we use it wisely.
Copy !req
174. Then what, Bill?
Copy !req
175. Then what?
Copy !req
176. We crawl out of here like gophers
Copy !req
177. to tiptoe through all
that rubble up above?
Copy !req
178. The rubble and the ruin
Copy !req
179. and the bodies of our friends?
Copy !req
180. Oh, Bill,
Copy !req
181. why is it so necessary to survive?
Copy !req
182. What's the good of it?
Copy !req
183. Wouldn't it just be better
Copy !req
184. and easier, just quicker if we just
Copy !req
185. I got the tools, Pop.
Copy !req
186. Anything else you need from out here?
Copy !req
187. Grace, that's why we have to survive.
Copy !req
188. That's the reason.
Copy !req
189. He may only inherit rubble now,
Copy !req
190. but he's 12 years old.
Copy !req
191. He's only 12 years old, Grace.
Copy !req
192. Now.
Copy !req
193. This is conelrad,
Copy !req
194. your emergency broadcasting station.
Copy !req
195. Paulie.
Copy !req
196. I got the tools, Pop.
Copy !req
197. Good… put it down over there.
Copy !req
198. I'll get the rest of the water.
Copy !req
199. Remain tuned to this frequency.
Copy !req
200. We repeat our previous announcement…
Copy !req
201. How's it going, Bill?
Copy !req
202. It's going fine, Jerry.
Copy !req
203. We're collecting water which
is what you should be doing.
Copy !req
204. We collected about 30 gallons
Copy !req
205. and then the water stopped.
Copy !req
206. You better get into your shelter…
Copy !req
207. In… Into your basement…
Copy !req
208. And I'd board up the
windows if I were you.
Copy !req
209. You got any wood…?
Copy !req
210. Bill, we don't have any cellar, remember?
Copy !req
211. The advantages of modern architecture.
Copy !req
212. We got the only brand-new
house on the block.
Copy !req
213. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
214. We got everything at your fingertips…
Copy !req
215. Even got an electric laundry room.
Copy !req
216. All the wonders of modern
science taken into account
Copy !req
217. except that thing that's
heading for us right now.
Copy !req
218. Jerry, come on.
Copy !req
219. Can I bring Martha
and the kids over here?
Copy !req
220. Over here?
Copy !req
221. We're sitting ducks over there…
Copy !req
222. No protection at all.
Copy !req
223. Oh, Jerry.
Copy !req
224. You can use our basement.
Copy !req
225. Your basement?
Copy !req
226. What about your shelter?
Copy !req
227. It's the only place we can survive!
Copy !req
228. I don't have any room, Jerry.
Copy !req
229. There's not near enough room or supplies.
Copy !req
230. It's designed for three people.
Copy !req
231. Well, we'll bring our own food and water.
Copy !req
232. We'll sleep standing up.
Copy !req
233. Bill, you've got to help me.
Copy !req
234. You've got to keep my family alive.
Copy !req
235. We won't use any of your stuff.
Copy !req
236. What about air?
Copy !req
237. That's a ten by ten room, Jerry,
Copy !req
238. with an air filter
designed for three people.
Copy !req
239. Will you bring your own air?
Copy !req
240. Well, just give us a chance.
Copy !req
241. No, no, no.
Copy !req
242. Forty-eight hours, then we'll get out.
Copy !req
243. When that door gets closed and locked
Copy !req
244. it stays closed and locked.
Copy !req
245. There'll be radiation and
heaven knows what else.
Copy !req
246. I'm sorry, Jerry, as God
is my witness, I am sorry,
Copy !req
247. but I built that for my family.
Copy !req
248. What about mine? What'll we do?
Copy !req
249. Just rock on the front porch
while we burn to a crisp?
Copy !req
250. That's no concern of mine.
Copy !req
251. Right now it's my family
I have to worry about.
Copy !req
252. Do you think I'm going to stand by
Copy !req
253. and watch while my wife
and children die in agony?
Copy !req
254. I'm not going to do it!
Copy !req
255. Bill, I'm not gonna do it!
Copy !req
256. I'm sorry, please forgive me.
Copy !req
257. I kept telling you, Jerry… all of you…
Copy !req
258. Get ready, build a shelter.
Copy !req
259. Forget the card parties and the barbecues
Copy !req
260. for maybe a few hours a week,
Copy !req
261. forget them, and make
the admission to yourself
Copy !req
262. that the worst was possible.
Copy !req
263. But you didn't want to listen.
Copy !req
264. None of you wanted to listen.
Copy !req
265. Please, Bill.
Copy !req
266. To build a shelter
Copy !req
267. was to admit to the
kind of age we lived in,
Copy !req
268. and none of you had
the guts to face that.
Copy !req
269. So now you've got to
face something far worse!
Copy !req
270. So, God, please, God protect you.
Copy !req
271. It's out of my hands.
Copy !req
272. It's simply out of my hands.
Copy !req
273. It's got to be God. It's got to be God.
Copy !req
274. They're already in the shelter.
Copy !req
275. Marty, I told you.
Copy !req
276. He's locked himself in.
Copy !req
277. He's got to let us in.
Copy !req
278. We have no windows in half the basement
Copy !req
279. and I don't have anything
Copy !req
280. to plug them up, either.
Copy !req
281. And the basement won't help, anyway.
Copy !req
282. I can't help you, Marty.
Copy !req
283. He's downstairs? In the shelter?
Copy !req
284. Yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
285. Bill, Bill… Bill, it's Marty.
Copy !req
286. We've got the kids with us.
Copy !req
287. Marty!
Copy !req
288. Bill!
Copy !req
289. Bill, please let us in.
Copy !req
290. Marty, please.
Copy !req
291. Come back and get us. Please!
Copy !req
292. Bill… Bill, it's Marty.
Copy !req
293. Please let us in.
Copy !req
294. Marty, I would if I could.
Copy !req
295. Do you understand?
Copy !req
296. I swear to you, I would.
Copy !req
297. Bill, please.
Copy !req
298. Please, Bill.
Copy !req
299. It's Marty.
Copy !req
300. I can't, Marty.
Copy !req
301. Don't stand there asking me.
Copy !req
302. I can't!
Copy !req
303. I can't and I won't!
Copy !req
304. I feel sorry for you, then, Bill.
Copy !req
305. I really do.
Copy !req
306. You probably will survive,
Copy !req
307. but you'll have blood on your hands.
Copy !req
308. You're a doctor!
Copy !req
309. You're supposed to help people! Bill!
Copy !req
310. That was a million years ago.
Copy !req
311. A million years ago.
Copy !req
312. Marty!
Copy !req
313. Get out of here!
Copy !req
314. Do you hear me?
Copy !req
315. Get out of here, Marty!
Copy !req
316. Marty!
Copy !req
317. Then he slammed
the door right in my face.
Copy !req
318. Well, go back!
Copy !req
319. Jerry, ask him again.
Copy !req
320. Let's go.
Copy !req
321. Jerry, ask him again!
Copy !req
322. Ask him again!
Copy !req
323. Please, I don't want to be here.
Copy !req
324. Please, Frank, let's go home!
Copy !req
325. There's no time! It'll land any minute!
Copy !req
326. It's no use, Frank.
Copy !req
327. He won't let anybody in.
Copy !req
328. What'll we do?
Copy !req
329. We ought to find one basement
Copy !req
330. and go to work on that.
Copy !req
331. Pool all of our stuff.
Copy !req
332. It just isn't fair!
Copy !req
333. He's perfectly safe
Copy !req
334. while our kids have to sit around
Copy !req
335. and wait for a bomb to drop!
Copy !req
336. Why don't we just go down there
Copy !req
337. and break down the door!
Copy !req
338. Frank, Frank… wait a minute, Frank!
Copy !req
339. Frank, wait a minute!
Copy !req
340. We can't all fit in that bomb shelter.
Copy !req
341. We'd be crazy to even try.
Copy !req
342. Why don't we pick
out one family… draw lots?
Copy !req
343. I keep telling you,
Copy !req
344. he won't let anybody in.
Copy !req
345. We could all go down there
Copy !req
346. and tell him the whole
street is against him.
Copy !req
347. What good would it do?
Copy !req
348. Even if you break down the door,
Copy !req
349. we can't all fit.
Copy !req
350. We'd be killing everybody.
Copy !req
351. If it saves even one of my kids
Copy !req
352. I call that a good reason.
Copy !req
353. Jerry, you know him
better than any of us.
Copy !req
354. You're his best friend.
Copy !req
355. Go down there again.
Copy !req
356. Talk to him, plead with him.
Copy !req
357. Tell him to pick out one family.
Copy !req
358. We'll draw lots or something.
Copy !req
359. One family.
Copy !req
360. Meaning yours, Marty, huh?
Copy !req
361. Why not?
Copy !req
362. I've got a three-month-old baby.
Copy !req
363. Is your baby any more
precious than one of my kids?
Copy !req
364. I never said that.
Copy !req
365. Look, if you're going to argue
about who deserves to live…
Copy !req
366. You shut your mouth, Weiss.
Copy !req
367. Take it easy.
Copy !req
368. Let go!
Copy !req
369. That's the way it is
Copy !req
370. when the foreigners come over here…
Copy !req
371. Pushy, grabby, semi-American!
Copy !req
372. Why, you garbage-brained idiot!
Copy !req
373. Marty… Marty, please!
Copy !req
374. What's the matter with you?
Copy !req
375. Weiss, for my dough,
Copy !req
376. you're at the bottom of the list!
Copy !req
377. Keep it up, you'll slaughter each other!
Copy !req
378. Marty. Marty, please.
Copy !req
379. Go down to the shelter.
Copy !req
380. Ask him, Marty, please.
Copy !req
381. I've already asked him.
Copy !req
382. It won't do any good!
Copy !req
383. Searchlights. It must be coming closer.
Copy !req
384. Let's go out, take a look.
Copy !req
385. This is CONLERAD…
Copy !req
386. Anything new on the radio?
Copy !req
387. No. What are you doing out here?
Copy !req
388. Doc's got himself locked in that shelter.
Copy !req
389. You know what I'm going to do?
Copy !req
390. I'm going down there
Copy !req
391. and get him to open up that door.
Copy !req
392. That's the only thing left to do!
Copy !req
393. Frank's right. Come on, let's do it.
Copy !req
394. No, wait a minute!
Copy !req
395. Martha, keep those kids in the kitchen.
Copy !req
396. Bill!
Copy !req
397. Bill Stockton!
Copy !req
398. You've got a bunch of
your neighbors outside
Copy !req
399. who wanna stay alive.
Copy !req
400. Now, you can open
that door and talk to us
Copy !req
401. and figure out with us
Copy !req
402. how many can come in there
Copy !req
403. or you can just keep on
doing what you're doing,
Copy !req
404. and we'll bust our way in there!
Copy !req
405. Bill, can you hear me?
Copy !req
406. This is Jerry.
Copy !req
407. They mean business out here.
Copy !req
408. I mean business in here.
Copy !req
409. I've already told you, Jerry.
Copy !req
410. You're wasting your time.
Copy !req
411. You're wasting precious
time you could use
Copy !req
412. for figuring out how you can survive.
Copy !req
413. Why don't we get some
kind of battering ram?
Copy !req
414. Yeah, let's go to Bennett Avenue.
Copy !req
415. Phil Klein has some
heavy pipe in his basement.
Copy !req
416. No, no… that would get him
Copy !req
417. into the act, too, and who
cares about saving him.
Copy !req
418. No, if we do that…
Copy !req
419. If we let all those people know
Copy !req
420. about the shelter on our street…
Copy !req
421. We'd have a whole mob to contend with.
Copy !req
422. A whole bunch of strangers.
Copy !req
423. What right have they
got to come over here?
Copy !req
424. This isn't their street.
This isn't their shelter.
Copy !req
425. Oh, oh, this is our shelter, huh?
Copy !req
426. And on the next street,
that's another country.
Copy !req
427. Patronize home industry.
Copy !req
428. You idiots, you fools, you're insane.
Copy !req
429. Maybe you don't want to live.
Copy !req
430. Maybe you don't care!
Copy !req
431. I care… believe me, I care.
Copy !req
432. I want to see the
morning sun come up, too.
Copy !req
433. But a mob doesn't have any brains.
Copy !req
434. You're proving it!
Copy !req
435. I say let's get that battering ram
Copy !req
436. and we'll tell Klein to
keep his mouth shut.
Copy !req
437. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
438. I agree with Jerry.
Copy !req
439. We should stop and think a minute.
Copy !req
440. Now, I think that…
Copy !req
441. Nobody cares what you
think… You or your kind.
Copy !req
442. I thought I made it clear.
Copy !req
443. Yes, but I think that Jerry has
Copy !req
444. I think the first order of business
Copy !req
445. is to get you out of here.
Copy !req
446. Marty, Marty!
Copy !req
447. Let's get that battering ram
Copy !req
448. and break down that door.
Copy !req
449. You've had your chance,
Stockton, remember that!
Copy !req
450. You've had your chance! Let's go.
Copy !req
451. Come on, Marty, come on.
Copy !req
452. Bill.
Copy !req
453. Who are those people?
Copy !req
454. Those people…
Copy !req
455. Those people are our neighbors,
Copy !req
456. our friends, the people we've lived with
Copy !req
457. and alongside for 20 years.
Copy !req
458. Come on, Paulie, we better get up
Copy !req
459. some of this furniture
Copy !req
460. so we'll have some protection
Copy !req
461. in case that door goes through.
Copy !req
462. Come on, let's get it in there.
Copy !req
463. Come on, over it.
Copy !req
464. Over it.
Copy !req
465. Now!
Copy !req
466. It's through! Put it down!
Copy !req
467. This is conelrad.
Copy !req
468. Remain tuned for an important message.
Copy !req
469. The president of the United
States has just announced
Copy !req
470. that the previously unidentified objects
Copy !req
471. have now been definitely
ascertained as being satellites.
Copy !req
472. Repeat. There are no
enemy missiles approaching.
Copy !req
473. Repeat: There are no
enemy missiles approaching.
Copy !req
474. The objects have been
identified as satellites.
Copy !req
475. They are harmless
and we are in no danger.
Copy !req
476. The state of emergency
has officially been called off.
Copy !req
477. We are in no danger.
Copy !req
478. Repeat: There is no enemy attack.
Copy !req
479. Thank God.
Copy !req
480. Thank God!
Copy !req
481. Marty?
Copy !req
482. Marty?
Copy !req
483. I, uh… I went off my rocker.
Copy !req
484. Well, y…
Copy !req
485. You can understand that, can't you?
Copy !req
486. I just went off my rocker.
Copy !req
487. I didn't mean any of those things
Copy !req
488. I said to you.
Copy !req
489. We were… We were, all of us
Copy !req
490. so scared, so confused!
Copy !req
491. Well, it's no wonder, is it?
Copy !req
492. I mean, you can understand
Copy !req
493. why we all blew our tops a little.
Copy !req
494. Oh, I don't think Marty's going to hold it
Copy !req
495. against you, Frank.
Copy !req
496. Just like I don't think.
Copy !req
497. Bill is going to hold all this against us.
Copy !req
498. We'll pay for the damages, Bill.
Copy !req
499. We'll take up a collection right away.
Copy !req
500. We… We could have a block party
Copy !req
501. tomorrow night or something, huh?
Copy !req
502. A big celebration, huh?
Copy !req
503. I think we rate one now.
Copy !req
504. Hey, that's a great idea… a block party.
Copy !req
505. Anything to get back to normal, huh?
Copy !req
506. Normal?
Copy !req
507. I don't know.
Copy !req
508. I don't know what normal is.
Copy !req
509. I thought I did once.
Copy !req
510. I don't anymore.
Copy !req
511. I told you we'd pay for the damages, Bill.
Copy !req
512. Damages?
Copy !req
513. I wonder.
Copy !req
514. I wonder if any one of us has any idea
Copy !req
515. what those damages really are.
Copy !req
516. Maybe one of them is finding out
Copy !req
517. what we're really like when we're normal…
Copy !req
518. The kind of people we are
Copy !req
519. just underneath the skin.
Copy !req
520. I mean all of us.
Copy !req
521. A lot of naked, wild animals
Copy !req
522. who put such a price on staying alive
Copy !req
523. that they'll claw their neighbors to death
Copy !req
524. just for the privilege.
Copy !req
525. We were spared a bomb tonight,
Copy !req
526. but I wonder.
Copy !req
527. I wonder if we weren't destroyed
Copy !req
528. even without it.
Copy !req
529. No moral, no
message, no prophetic tract.
Copy !req
530. Just a simple statement of fact:
Copy !req
531. For civilization to survive,
Copy !req
532. the human race has to remain civilized.
Copy !req
533. Tonight's very small exercise in logic
Copy !req
534. from the Twilight Zone.
Copy !req
535. Rod Serling,
creator of The Twilight Zone,
Copy !req
536. will tell you about next week's story
Copy !req
537. after this word from
our alternate sponsor.
Copy !req
538. And now, Mr. Serling.
Copy !req
539. Next week we move
back in time to April, 1865…
Copy !req
540. The aftermath of the
Civil War, and a strange dusty road
Copy !req
541. that leads to a most
unbelievable adventure.
Copy !req
542. On our show next week, "The Passersby."
Copy !req
543. This one is for Civil War buffs,
Copy !req
544. the mystics amongst you,
Copy !req
545. or any and all who would
want a brief vacation…
Copy !req
546. In the Twilight Zone.
Copy !req
547. Be sure and watch
Gunsmoke, starring James Arness,
Copy !req
548. Saturday nights over
most of these same stations.
