2. You're traveling
through another dimension-
Copy !req
3. a dimension not only of sight
and sound, but of mind,
Copy !req
4. a journey into a wondrous land
Copy !req
5. whose boundaries
are that of imagination.
Copy !req
6. Your next stop,
the twilight zone.
Copy !req
7. You're looking at the house of
the late mrs. Henrietta walker.
Copy !req
8. This is mrs. Walker herself,
as she appeared 25 years ago.
Copy !req
9. And this,
except for isolated objects,
Copy !req
10. is the living room
of mrs. Walker's house
Copy !req
11. as it appeared
in that same year.
Copy !req
12. The other rooms upstairs
and down are much the same.
Copy !req
13. The time, however,
is not 25 years ago, but now.
Copy !req
14. The house of the late
mrs. Henrietta walker is,
Copy !req
15. you see, a house which belongs
almost entirely to the past;
Copy !req
16. a house which,
like mrs. Walker's clock here,
Copy !req
17. has ceased to recognize
the passage of time.
Copy !req
18. Only one element
is missing now-
Copy !req
19. one remaining item in the estate
of the late mrs.
Copy !req
20. Her son alex, 34 years of age,
and up till 20 minutes ago,
Copy !req
21. the so-called
perennial bachelor.
Copy !req
22. With him is his bride,
the former miss virginia lane.
Copy !req
23. They're returning
from the city hall
Copy !req
24. in order to get
mr. Walker's clothes packed,
Copy !req
25. make final arrangements
for the sale of the house,
Copy !req
26. lock it up and depart
on their honeymoon.
Copy !req
27. Not a complicated set of tasks,
it would appear,
Copy !req
28. and yet the newlywed mrs. Walker
is about to discover
Copy !req
29. that the old adage
"you can't go home again"
Copy !req
30. has little meaning
in the twilight zone.
Copy !req
31. Thank you, darling.
Copy !req
32. Well...
Copy !req
33. well, shall we
get started?
Copy !req
34. Darling?
Copy !req
35. Yes, of course.
Copy !req
36. Did you call
mr. Wilkinson
Copy !req
37. and tell him
when we'd be back?
Copy !req
38. Oh, no, I forgot.
Copy !req
39. Well, you'd better call him
now, then.
Copy !req
40. You have to sign
the papers before we leave.
Copy !req
41. Yes, of course.
Copy !req
42. I thought I'd clean
the place up a little
Copy !req
43. before we left.
Copy !req
44. I'll get it
out of here.
Copy !req
45. Uh-uh. You go call
mr. Wilkinson.
Copy !req
46. I thought I left
his card right here.
Copy !req
47. I can't seem
to find it.
Copy !req
48. Well, get the number
from information.
Copy !req
49. Oh, of course.
Copy !req
50. Look... I'll tell you what.
Copy !req
51. You go on up and pack,
Copy !req
52. and I'll call mr. Wilkinson,
all right?
Copy !req
53. Oh, darling,
Copy !req
54. everything's going
to be all right.
Copy !req
55. I'm so happy
to be mrs. Walker
Copy !req
56. at last,
Copy !req
57. after all
these years.
Copy !req
58. Come on, go on up
and pack.
Copy !req
59. All right.
Copy !req
60. Oh, would you give me the number
of wilkinson realty, please?
Copy !req
61. On main street.
Copy !req
62. Thank you.
Copy !req
63. Mr. Wilkinson?
Copy !req
64. Virginia lane.
Copy !req
65. I mean, virginia walker.
Copy !req
66. Yes, yes, just now.
Copy !req
67. Oh, thank you, mr. Wilkinson.
Copy !req
68. Oh, yes, I am very happy.
Copy !req
69. Yes, we're back now.
Copy !req
70. If you'd bring the papers over
so mr. Walker can sign them,
Copy !req
71. you can show the house
while we're gone.
Copy !req
72. Oh, right away.
Copy !req
73. Fine. We'll see you
in a few minutes.
Copy !req
74. Thank you.
Copy !req
75. Alex, I thought
you were going to...
Copy !req
76. oh, there's
plenty of time.
Copy !req
77. What do you think
Copy !req
78. we should take out
of here when we move?
Copy !req
79. The television set,
I guess, huh?
Copy !req
80. And, uh, the electric clock.
Copy !req
81. It's only a
few years old.
Copy !req
82. Darling, I thought
we decided
Copy !req
83. to discuss all that
after the house was sold.
Copy !req
84. Sold?
Copy !req
85. I know, but I
just thought
Copy !req
86. that maybe we
should decide now.
Copy !req
87. I mean, like, in the
kitchen, for instance.
Copy !req
88. We'll take the
refrigerator
Copy !req
89. and the stove.
Copy !req
90. They're pretty new.
Copy !req
91. I just bought
them for mother
Copy !req
92. a few months...
Copy !req
93. a few months
before she died.
Copy !req
94. All right, alex, fine.
Copy !req
95. We'll discuss it later,
but we've really got to leave.
Copy !req
96. Of course.
Copy !req
97. Well?
Copy !req
98. What about the radio?
Copy !req
99. It's pretty old,
but we could have it fixed.
Copy !req
100. Maybe it works now.
Copy !req
101. Look at it.
Copy !req
102. It weighs a ton, I bet.
Copy !req
103. Look at all this carving-
Copy !req
104. all the work
they put into it,
Copy !req
105. the craft...
Copy !req
106. the programs
we used to hear on this.
Copy !req
107. Major bowes,
fred allen...
Copy !req
108. and all the music.
Copy !req
109. We used to sit in here
all the time listening to music.
Copy !req
110. Mother's favorite
was eddy duchin.
Copy !req
111. I just remembered...
Copy !req
112. she used to be crazy
about a record of his
Copy !req
113. called "the lady in red."
Copy !req
114. You remember that?
Copy !req
115. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
116. ? the lady in red?
Copy !req
117. ? all the fellows are crazy
for the lady in red...?
Copy !req
118. Broken.
Copy !req
119. I knew it was.
Copy !req
120. She used to sit in this chair
Copy !req
121. and look
at the movie magazine.
Copy !req
122. Funny I should remember
that, too.
Copy !req
123. She gave it up
a long time ago.
Copy !req
124. Sometimes, she'd make
a pan of fudge for us,
Copy !req
125. and we'd sit here...
Copy !req
126. alex, darling,
come on.
Copy !req
127. We have to leave when
mr. Wilkinson comes.
Copy !req
128. Maybe we could
get this fixed.
Copy !req
129. Used to be
a real good clock.
Copy !req
130. We'll discuss that
later, huh?
Copy !req
131. He's mine now!
Copy !req
132. You'll never get
your claws on him again.
Copy !req
133. Alex?
Copy !req
134. Alex!
Copy !req
135. Oh, I, uh... I was just looking
Copy !req
136. at some of my old things
that mother kept.
Copy !req
137. Look. Looks as good as ever.
Copy !req
138. No...
Copy !req
139. alex...
Copy !req
140. I thought you
were going...
Copy !req
141. look!
Copy !req
142. The hardy boys
in secret of the caves.
Copy !req
143. Bill bolton
in hidden dangers.
Copy !req
144. Tarzan and the antmen.
Copy !req
145. Tarzan and the jewels of opar.
Copy !req
146. Alex, please.
Copy !req
147. Remember these?
Copy !req
148. Funny old things.
Copy !req
149. Alex...
Copy !req
150. oh, and the stockings
that went with them.
Copy !req
151. Stockings for a boy.
Copy !req
152. "It takes a real boy
to know a real stocking."
Copy !req
153. Funny I should
remember that.
Copy !req
154. It's a quote from an ad
in a mail-order catalogue of...
Copy !req
155. gosh, it must be 25 years ago.
Copy !req
156. I wonder why mother kept them.
Copy !req
157. Because she would have liked
for you to stay
Copy !req
158. exactly as you were
when you first wore them.
Copy !req
159. I'm sorry, alex.
Copy !req
160. I didn't mean that.
Copy !req
161. You're not angry
with me, are you?
Copy !req
162. No.
Copy !req
163. It's just that I
want us to be happy.
Copy !req
164. Alex, that's all
I've ever wanted.
Copy !req
165. Do you, uh...
want me to help?
Copy !req
166. I can manage.
Copy !req
167. You aren't angry
with me, are you?
Copy !req
168. No.
Copy !req
169. I'll make you happy,
alex.
Copy !req
170. You'll see.
Copy !req
171. You won't be sorry.
Copy !req
172. Uh...
Copy !req
173. I'll wait for mr.
Wilkinson downstairs.
Copy !req
174. He should be here
any moment now.
Copy !req
175. I don't want to sell the house.
Copy !req
176. I don't want to sell it, mother.
Copy !req
177. Afternoon, mrs. Walker.
Copy !req
178. Oh, mr. Wilkinson,
won't you come in?
Copy !req
179. Thank you
kindly, ma'am.
Copy !req
180. Oh, won't you go
in the living room?
Copy !req
181. I'll get mr. Walker.
Copy !req
182. Fine and dandy.
Copy !req
183. Alex. Alex, darling.
Copy !req
184. Mr. Wilkinson's here
with the papers.
Copy !req
185. Uh, yes, of course.
Copy !req
186. Afternoon, mr. Walker.
Copy !req
187. Congratulations
to you, sir.
Copy !req
188. You have the papers?
Copy !req
189. Right here, ma'am.
Copy !req
190. Oh, but first, I wonder
if I could trouble you
Copy !req
191. for the use of
your telephone?
Copy !req
192. You see, I forgot
to tell my secretary
Copy !req
193. where I'd be,
and I'm expecting
Copy !req
194. a pretty important
call from out of town.
Copy !req
195. I'll call her for you.
Copy !req
196. Oh? Well, all right.
Copy !req
197. Well, in that case,
mr. Walker...
Copy !req
198. why don't you
use the dining
room table?
Copy !req
199. Fine and dandy.
After you, sir.
Copy !req
200. Make it as soon
as possible, darling.
Copy !req
201. We really have to leave.
Copy !req
202. Now, then...
Copy !req
203. as you can see right
here, mr. Walker...
Copy !req
204. well, I think I'd
better do it myself.
Copy !req
205. I have to tell
my secretary
Copy !req
206. some things anyway.
Copy !req
207. You sign right
here, mr. Walker.
Copy !req
208. Maggie? Jim.
Copy !req
209. I'm at henrietta
walker's house.
Copy !req
210. Would you put that call
through to me here
Copy !req
211. if it comes in in the next ten
or 15 minutes or so?
Copy !req
212. Fine, oh, and call
mr. Fisher
Copy !req
213. and tell him that escrow
has been approved
Copy !req
214. for 60 days and we have
the form ready for him to sign.
Copy !req
215. Right. Fine and dandy.
Copy !req
216. I'll see you,
maggie. Bye.
Copy !req
217. No, sir, we won't have
any trouble
Copy !req
218. selling this house
at all.
Copy !req
219. There something
you don't understand,
Copy !req
220. mr. Walker?
Copy !req
221. Uh, no, I, uh...
I think I'll wait.
Copy !req
222. Wait?
Copy !req
223. Yes, until
we return.
Copy !req
224. I want to
think about it.
Copy !req
225. But darling...
Copy !req
226. I just want to
think about it!
Copy !req
227. Alex.
Copy !req
228. I'm sorry
to cause you
Copy !req
229. so much trouble,
mr. Wilkinson.
Copy !req
230. Sure, sure.
Copy !req
231. You're positive?
Copy !req
232. I'm positive.
Copy !req
233. Well, all right.
Copy !req
234. I'll get in touch with you
on your return.
Copy !req
235. Please.
Copy !req
236. Well, have a nice honeymoon.
Copy !req
237. Oh, never mind,
miss lane...
Copy !req
238. mrs. Walker.
Copy !req
239. I'll pack.
Copy !req
240. Alex, alex,
you promised.
Copy !req
241. What do you mean?
Copy !req
242. You know what I mean.
Copy !req
243. You promised to
sell this house.
Copy !req
244. Oh, I'm not
backing down, virg.
Copy !req
245. I just want a little time
to think about it.
Copy !req
246. That's all.
Copy !req
247. What is there to think about?
Copy !req
248. Well, I just don't like
the idea
Copy !req
249. of people tramping
in and out...
Copy !req
250. that's just
an excuse.
Copy !req
251. That's not
the reason.
Copy !req
252. Oh, yes, it is, virg.
Copy !req
253. All right, never mind.
Copy !req
254. Just pack,
and let's get out of here.
Copy !req
255. What is it?
Copy !req
256. Couldn't...
Copy !req
257. I mean, couldn't we
live here, virg?
Copy !req
258. It's a pretty nice house...
Copy !req
259. oh, alex, no!
Copy !req
260. Don't just say no
without thinking about it.
Copy !req
261. We could redecorate.
Copy !req
262. I want to get
out of here.
Copy !req
263. I want to leave
right now.
Copy !req
264. Alex, you promised me
when your mother died,
Copy !req
265. you'd sell this house.
Copy !req
266. Well, she's dead.
Copy !req
267. Alex, dead!
Copy !req
268. She's been dead
for a year now,
Copy !req
269. and I waited that year
and all the years before-
Copy !req
270. 12 years, 12 long years
of waiting for you.
Copy !req
271. Well, now, I want my own home.
Copy !req
272. I have a right to that.
Copy !req
273. Don't look at
me like that.
Copy !req
274. Don't look at me
as if you don't even know me.
Copy !req
275. Alex, please.
Copy !req
276. Please, don't do this
to me.
Copy !req
277. I love you.
Copy !req
278. I want to care for you
and make a home for you,
Copy !req
279. but our home, not hers.
Copy !req
280. We've waited
so long, darling.
Copy !req
281. How?
Copy !req
282. I know, you told me
she was sick,
Copy !req
283. and we couldn't...
Copy !req
284. shewassick, virg.
Copy !req
285. She lost her health
taking care of me
Copy !req
286. and this house for
more than 20 years.
Copy !req
287. My father deserted us
Copy !req
288. when I was two
months old, virg.
Copy !req
289. Two months old!
Copy !req
290. All right, all right.
Copy !req
291. Let's go.
Copy !req
292. Let's get out of here.
Copy !req
293. Virg.
Copy !req
294. I'm not going to sell
the house, virg.
Copy !req
295. We'll have it
redecorated,
Copy !req
296. maybe get
some new furniture.
Copy !req
297. We'll talk
about it later.
Copy !req
298. No, alex. I won't let you.
Copy !req
299. We'll get out of here.
Copy !req
300. I'll get my purse.
Copy !req
301. I won't let you.
Copy !req
302. I won't let you!
Copy !req
303. Alex! Alex!
Copy !req
304. No. No, you can't have him.
Copy !req
305. I won't let you have him.
Copy !req
306. He's mine now.
Copy !req
307. Mine!
Copy !req
308. Yes, he is,
Copy !req
309. because I'm
right for him.
Copy !req
310. I won't try to destroy
him like you did.
Copy !req
311. My love will
make him strong,
Copy !req
312. not weak,
not dependent.
Copy !req
313. Yes, it's true.
Copy !req
314. You've always known it's true,
and you hated me for it.
Copy !req
315. Well, your hatred
isn't strong enough now.
Copy !req
316. Your desire to dominate him
isn't strong enough.
Copy !req
317. He's not your
little boy anymore.
Copy !req
318. Leave him be.
Copy !req
319. You will not have him back!
Copy !req
320. This is not my doing.
Copy !req
321. Come back to me, mother.
Copy !req
322. I want you to.
Copy !req
323. Alex... not you.
Copy !req
324. Oh!
Copy !req
325. Can we go to the park
and then to the zoo
Copy !req
326. and have two
ice cream cones?
Copy !req
327. Oh, boy.
Copy !req
328. Go away, lady.
Copy !req
329. We don't need you anymore.
Copy !req
330. Exit miss virginia lane,
Copy !req
331. formerly and most briefly
mrs. Alex walker.
Copy !req
332. She has just given up a battle
and in a strange way retreated,
Copy !req
333. but this has been a retreat
back to reality.
Copy !req
334. Her opponent, alex walker,
Copy !req
335. will now and forever hold
a line that exists in the past.
Copy !req
336. He has put a claim
on a moment in time
Copy !req
337. and is not about
to relinquish it.
Copy !req
338. Such things do happen
in the twilight zone.
Copy !req
339. Rod serling,
creator of the twilight zone,
Copy !req
340. will tell you
about next week's story
Copy !req
341. after this message.
Copy !req
342. And now, mr. Serling.
Copy !req
343. The name "ray bradbury"
has become synonymous
Copy !req
344. with a new horizon
of american writing.
Copy !req
345. Next week onthe twilight zone,
Copy !req
346. we present
a typical bradbury tale.
Copy !req
347. It also has
typical bradbury ingredients,
Copy !req
348. including a grandmother
built in a factory.
Copy !req
349. Now, if this
doesn't intrigue you,
Copy !req
350. then I'm simply
not doing justice
Copy !req
351. to a most intriguing tale.
Copy !req
352. I hope you'll join us next week
for "I sing the body electric."
Copy !req
353. This is james arness.
Copy !req
354. You know, it's only a short hop
Copy !req
355. fromthe twilight zone
to dodge city ingunsmoke.
Copy !req
356. Saturday nights
over most of these stations.
Copy !req
