notoversleep.Copy !req
116. I left the hotel
at 4:30 a.m.Copy !req
117. I got on the subway,
I got off the subway,Copy !req
118. I came here-
therefore...Copy !req
119. therefore you must
have stopped someplaceCopy !req
120. and had a few short beers,
because now it's almost 6:00.Copy !req
121. See?Copy !req
122. Yeah, I see, but
I don't understand.Copy !req
123. Alan, you're going
to be very proud of me.Copy !req
124. Why?Copy !req
125. You wanted to take
a lunch, huh?Copy !req
126. So I roasted us a chicken.Copy !req
127. Oh, great!Copy !req
128. Jess...Copy !req
129. yeah?Copy !req

what you're doing?Copy !req
133. Yes, I do.Copy !req
134. I am a spinster
well over 20 years old...Copy !req
135. and I am sound of mindCopy !req
136. and sound of body.Copy !req
137. I'm going to visit
a townCopy !req
138. I have never seen
beforeCopy !req
139. for the purpose
of meeting and impressingCopy !req
140. a woman I've never
heard of beforeCopy !req
141. for the purpose
of marrying a guyCopy !req
142. I've known
for exactly four days.Copy !req
143. What's so odd
about that?Copy !req
144. No, I'm serious.Copy !req
145. Well, so am I.Copy !req
146. Shouldn't you...
shouldn't you knowCopy !req
147. more about me
or something?Copy !req
148. Like what?Copy !req
149. I know your name is alan talbot.Copy !req
150. I know that you come
from coeurville, new york,Copy !req
151. that you live
in a big white houseCopy !req
152. surrounded by rosebushes
and treesCopy !req
153. and that you do
scientific research on a bomb.Copy !req
154. Not a bomb, a computer,
electronics.Copy !req
155. Now, you see, you're
romanticizing me already.Copy !req
156. Don't interrupt.Copy !req
157. You're visiting new york cityCopy !req
158. for the pure
morbid pleasure of it.Copy !req
159. You make $600 a month.Copy !req
160. You're very kind
to small animalsCopy !req
161. and very nice
to old chestnut vendors.Copy !req
162. And now you're
very lonely.Copy !req
163. And you're
desperately in needCopy !req
164. of a woman who's five foot threeCopy !req
165. who answers to the name
of jessica connelly, right?Copy !req
166. Right.Copy !req
167. And youaresingle.Copy !req
168. At the present.Copy !req
169. Alan...Copy !req
170. do you think I'm going
to like coeurville?Copy !req
171. Only if you
happen to likeCopy !req
172. great little townsCopy !req
173. full of warm,
friendly people.Copy !req
174. You've only been gone
a week,Copy !req
175. and already
you're homesick.Copy !req
176. Well, I better like it.Copy !req
177. You will, and you'll
love aunt mildred.Copy !req
178. Now, come on,
quit stalling!Copy !req
179. Walter!Copy !req
180. Walter, no!Copy !req

182. Send me back.Copy !req
183. Walter...Copy !req

187. What, in the middle
of the morning?Copy !req
188. Who's walter?Copy !req
189. Who's who?Copy !req
190. You kept saying
"walter."Copy !req
191. Oh, well, this is
a poor time to tell you,Copy !req
192. but he happens
to be my brother.Copy !req
193. Oh?
Yes, it's
a tragic situation.Copy !req
194. We keep him locked
in the cellar.Copy !req
195. I don't like
to think about it.Copy !req
196. Oh, alan, you idiot!Copy !req
197. I don't know
any walter.Copy !req
198. Well, maybe awake, you
don't know any walter,Copy !req
199. but asleep, you're
scared to death of him!Copy !req
200. I said I don't know
any walter.Copy !req
201. Okay...Copy !req
202. okay, you big grouch.Copy !req
203. You want me to drive?Copy !req
204. Sure, but just
be careful.Copy !req
205. It's not paid
for yet.Copy !req
206. Ooh, changing
of the guard.Copy !req
207. Hey, you see that?
Yeah.Copy !req
208. I used to play here
when I was a kid.Copy !req
209. Every time I ran
away from home,Copy !req
210. I got just
about this far.Copy !req
211. Hey, you see
that road?
Uh-huh.Copy !req
212. Love alley,
we used to call it.Copy !req
213. Great place for
sparking the girlies.Copy !req
214. And how would you know?Copy !req
215. Well, my love, in
sparking circles,Copy !req
216. I was known as the
human electrode.Copy !req
217. The human electrode.
What am I getting into?Copy !req
218. Oh, alan,
it's lovely.Copy !req
219. There's the new
brunswick hotel
over there.Copy !req
220. They got an ice cream parlor
and a magazine store.Copy !req
221. You can also buy
cigarettes in thereCopy !req
222. if you can prove
you're over 21.Copy !req
223. Mr. Van brooks
isverystrict
about that.Copy !req
224. Do you think
I could get by?Copy !req
225. Well, maybe...Copy !req
226. maybe not.Copy !req
227. That's where we
buy our groceries.Copy !req
228. That's a fine
old store.Copy !req
229. Around the corner
is the depot.Copy !req
230. You can't see
that from here.Copy !req
231. And the library's
down on oak street.Copy !req
232. And over there is...Copy !req
233. well, don't stop now.Copy !req
234. Alan, what is it?Copy !req
235. Well, either
I've got the worst
memory in the world,Copy !req
236. or they put up
a new building.Copy !req
237. In one week?Copy !req
238. Well, it's pre-fab.Copy !req
239. I tell you,
young lady,Copy !req
240. they don't
build buildingsCopy !req
241. the way they used to.Copy !req
242. Alan, do me
a little favor, huh?Copy !req
243. Sure.Copy !req
244. Could we stop and have
a little quick oneCopy !req
245. before we meet the gang?Copy !req
246. Just a wee little one.Copy !req
247. In the first place,
there's no gang to meet.Copy !req
248. There's just
aunt mildred.Copy !req
249. And in the
second place,Copy !req
250. there's not one
bar in coeurville.Copy !req
251. Really? I thought
I saw one.Copy !req
252. Nope, nearest
one's temple,Copy !req
253. 15 miles away.Copy !req
254. I'll take you
in the hotelCopy !req
255. and buy you a
cup of coffee.Copy !req
256. That's fine.Copy !req
257. Something I can do
for you folks?Copy !req
258. Where's the
restaurant?Copy !req
259. Four doors down,
kelsey's cafe.Copy !req
260. No, I mean
the one here.Copy !req
261. What happened?
Did you close?Copy !req
262. Never had one here.
Just a hotel.Copy !req
263. This is the
new brunswick?Copy !req
264. Yes, sir.Copy !req
265. I see.Copy !req
266. I know how absent-minded
you scientific men are,Copy !req
267. so I know you won't mind
my asking-Copy !req
268. are you sure
this is the right town?Copy !req
269. Course I'm sure.Copy !req
270. Well, alan,
don't snap at me.Copy !req
271. I'm sorry, I guess
I'm just nervous.Copy !req
272. Look, jess,
let's go homeCopy !req
273. and get something
there, all right?Copy !req
274. Sure, fine.Copy !req
275. Is that
your mr. Van brooks?Copy !req
276. No. I don't
know who he is.Copy !req
277. It's as though 20
years have gone by.Copy !req
278. Everything's
different.Copy !req
279. I think you're just looking
at things for the first time.Copy !req
280. I've lived near times square
all my life,Copy !req
281. but I don't remember
seeing it, really, for years.Copy !req
282. They could've put up
half a dozen new buildings-Copy !req
283. I'd never notice
because I just don't look.Copy !req
284. Yeah, that's
probably it.Copy !req
285. Now, thati would
recognize anywhere.Copy !req
286. You like it?Copy !req
287. What if I didn't?Copy !req
288. Of course I do.
It's charming.Copy !req
289. Come on!Copy !req
290. The first thing
we're going to doCopy !req
291. is paint it- pink.Copy !req
292. Why not purple?Copy !req
293. Oh, she must have it
locked from the inside.Copy !req
294. Aunt mildred?Copy !req
295. Aunt mildred!Copy !req
296. Alan, you're going
to shake up the
whole neighborhood.Copy !req
297. Well, I have to.
She's hard-of-hearing.Copy !req
298. Aunt mildred?Copy !req
299. What do you want?Copy !req
300. I'm alan talbot.Copy !req
301. So?Copy !req
302. So I happen to live here.Copy !req
303. Now, would you mind
telling me who you areCopy !req
304. and what you're doing
in my house?Copy !req
305. Are you crazy
or something?Copy !req
306. Wait a minute.
Where's aunt mildred?Copy !req
307. Who?Copy !req
308. Mildred talbot.Copy !req
309. Now, listen, mister, let
me tell you something.Copy !req
310. You've made some
kind of a mistake.Copy !req
311. I live here.Copy !req
312. I've lived here
for nine years.Copy !req
313. I bought this place
from gerald butler,Copy !req
314. and I've got the deed
to prove it.Copy !req
315. I don't know anybody
named mildred,Copy !req
316. and I don't know
you, either.Copy !req
317. Now, you get
off my property,Copy !req
318. or I'll call
the sheriff!Copy !req
319. Wait!Copy !req
320. Alan, what are
you going to do?Copy !req
321. What would you
do if you foundCopy !req
322. some stranger living
in your house?Copy !req
323. Call the police!Copy !req
324. Hi.Copy !req
325. Who'd you want to see?Copy !req
326. Would you tell mrs.
Cook I'd like to use
the phone, please?Copy !req
327. Mrs. Cook?Copy !req
328. Yes. Please hurry.Copy !req
329. I'm sorry.
Mrs. Cook doesn't live here.Copy !req
330. She died.Copy !req
331. What?Copy !req
332. About three... three years ago,
I think.Copy !req
333. You aren't her cousin
from sweden, are you?Copy !req
334. No, I'm not her
cousin from sweden!Copy !req
335. I'm alan talbot, and
I live next door,Copy !req
336. and I had lunch with
mrs. Cook a week ago!Copy !req
337. Thank you very much.
Come on, alan.Copy !req
338. I had lunch with
agatha cook a week ago,Copy !req
339. just before I
left for new york.Copy !req
340. I know you did.
You mentioned it.Copy !req
341. Jess, I don't know
what's going on...Copy !req
342. but I'm going
to find out.Copy !req
343. Well, that's it.
That's where I work.Copy !req
344. The university of coeurville,
established 1912.Copy !req
345. Over there- that four-story
building- you see it?Copy !req
346. My office
is on the second floor.Copy !req
347. Well, what do you think of it?Copy !req
348. I don't know what to think.Copy !req
349. Well, maybe
they moved it.Copy !req
350. Sure. In the week
I've been gone,Copy !req
351. they took it apart
brick by brickCopy !req
352. and moved it somewhere else.Copy !req
353. For pete's sake,
I've made this driveCopy !req
354. twice a day for over ten years.Copy !req
355. You'd think I'd forget?Copy !req
356. I'm sorry.Copy !req
357. It's okay.Copy !req
358. Did you get everything
all straightened out?Copy !req
359. Sure. I'm out
of my mind.Copy !req
360. Oh, alan...Copy !req
361. I don't know what
else to think.Copy !req
362. What else
can I think?Copy !req
363. Somebody I never
saw before living
in my house?Copy !req
364. Woman I had lunch
with a week agoCopy !req
365. dead three years?Copy !req
366. New buildings
in the town?Copy !req
367. This is going
to sound crazy, I know,Copy !req
368. but do you remember
what you saidCopy !req
369. when we tried to get coffee
at that hotel?Copy !req
370. The one that didn't have
the coffee shop?Copy !req
371. You said it was as though
coeurville had aged 20 years.Copy !req
372. Do you remember?Copy !req
373. 20 years in a week?Copy !req
374. Well, maybe not in one week.Copy !req
375. What do you mean?Copy !req
376. I'm not sure.Copy !req
377. But what if it's true?Copy !req
378. What if 20 years have gone by?Copy !req
379. I'm rip van winkle?Copy !req
380. Well, why not?Copy !req
381. Alan, it's a possibility,
isn't it?Copy !req
382. No, I thought
about that.Copy !req
383. That doesn't hold up
for a lot of reasons.Copy !req
384. For one thing, it would
make me at least 45 years old,Copy !req
385. unless I left town
when I was ten,Copy !req
386. and that couldn't be,
because I wentCopy !req
387. to high school and college here!Copy !req
388. Except there aren't
any records showingCopy !req
389. I ever went to coeurville high.Copy !req
390. And the university I work for,
dear old coeurville u.,Copy !req
391. doesn't even exist!Copy !req
392. It never existed!Copy !req
393. Well...Copy !req
394. what about your aunt?Copy !req
395. I just checked.Copy !req
396. There's not a trace of evidenceCopy !req
397. that a mildred talbot
ever lived here.Copy !req
398. It was an idea.Copy !req
399. Come on.Copy !req
400. Where to now?Copy !req
401. The cemetery.Copy !req
402. Alan, why are
you doing this?Copy !req
403. To find out if the
world's gone crazy...Copy !req
404. or if I have.Copy !req
405. My parents are
buried here.Copy !req
406. If I can just find
their graves...Copy !req
407. over there-Copy !req
408. talbots have been
buried in that plotCopy !req
409. for over 50 years.Copy !req
410. Oh!Copy !req
411. Those the ones?Copy !req
412. That's them, all right.Copy !req
413. I'm sorry.Copy !req
414. This man says
you causedCopy !req
415. a disturbance
at his house.Copy !req
416. Do you admit it?Copy !req
417. Yes, I made a mistake.Copy !req
418. Said you claimed
it was your house.Copy !req
419. Well, I thought it was.Copy !req
420. I'm sorry.Copy !req
421. Are you satisfied?Copy !req
422. Well, as long as
he owns up to it.Copy !req
423. But you better
not comeCopy !req
424. pestering me again,
young fellow!Copy !req
425. I won't!Copy !req
426. Go on back to the car.
I'll be along in a minute.Copy !req
427. What's your
name, son?Copy !req
428. Alan talbot.Copy !req
429. Is this
your wife?Copy !req
430. No... we're
just friends.Copy !req
431. Well, mr. Talbot,
do you wantCopy !req
432. to tell me what you're
doing in coeurville?Copy !req
433. You the sheriff?
That's right.Copy !req
434. What happened
to carl jasperson?Copy !req
435. He's the man
I replaced.Copy !req
436. Do you know him?Copy !req
437. He's my godfather.Copy !req
438. Where can I find him?Copy !req
439. Over there.Copy !req
440. Oh, miss...Copy !req
441. I can't force you
to do anything,Copy !req
442. because you haven't
broken any laws,Copy !req
443. but I'd like to suggest
that you take your friendCopy !req
444. to see a doctor.Copy !req
445. He looks sick.Copy !req
446. And the way he was staring
at that grave...Copy !req
447. is he kin
to walter ryder?Copy !req
448. I don't know.Copy !req
449. Let's go, alan.Copy !req
450. How do you feel?Copy !req
451. Alan?Copy !req
452. Darling, I know
how upset you are,Copy !req
453. but there's a rational
explanation for all this.Copy !req
454. There has to be.Copy !req
455. A friend of mine,
dr. Matthews...Copy !req
456. he had a patient onceCopy !req
457. who couldn't even remember
her own name.Copy !req
458. She was on
a plane...Copy !req
459. suddenly, she
couldn't rememberCopy !req
460. where she was going,
or why, or anything.Copy !req
461. When he first
talked to her,Copy !req
462. she couldn't
rememberCopy !req
463. a thing about
her life.Copy !req
464. But after two weeks,
she was just fine.Copy !req
465. It was a form
of amnesia.Copy !req
466. I think you should
see him, alan.Copy !req
467. You'll like
dr. Matthews.Copy !req
468. Put it down, alan! Get away!Copy !req
469. Run, walter, run!Copy !req
470. Stop the car!Copy !req
471. Are you going to be sick?Copy !req
472. Yes! Hurry, stop the car!Copy !req
473. Look out, you'll kill me with
that... kill me with that...Copy !req
474. kill me... kill me...
kill... kill...Copy !req
475. jess, can you give me a hand?Copy !req
476. I'm coming, alan!Copy !req
477. Hurry!Copy !req
478. No!Copy !req
479. Jess, get away from me!Copy !req
480. Get away from me!Copy !req
481. Get in the car and drive away
as quick as you can!Copy !req
482. Alan, let me help you!Copy !req
483. No! I'll see you later
at your apartment.Copy !req
484. How are you going
to get back there?Copy !req
485. Never mind, just go!Copy !req
486. Go now, jess!Copy !req
487. Run!Copy !req
488. Kill me! Kill me!Copy !req
489. Kill me! Kill me! Kill me!Copy !req
490. Kill me! Kill me! Kill me!Copy !req
491. Mister, are
you all right?Copy !req
492. Are you all
right, mister?Copy !req
493. I didn't see
you, honest!Copy !req
494. I came around
the turn.Copy !req
495. I didn't see you.Copy !req
496. Is it bad?Copy !req
497. I don't know.Copy !req
498. Twilight zonewill continue
after station identification.Copy !req
499. Thank you.Copy !req
500. You sure you're
all right, mister?Copy !req
501. Yes, I'm fine now.Copy !req
502. I still think you
ought to see a doctor.Copy !req
503. No, I'm all right, see?
I'm not even bleeding.Copy !req
504. Not on the outside, maybe,
but what about on the inside?Copy !req
505. I mean, I've heard
of accidentsCopy !req
506. where guys are
hurt really badCopy !req
507. and they don't
even know it.Copy !req
508. Look, I'm fine.Copy !req
509. Well, sure.Copy !req
510. All I'm trying
to say is...Copy !req
511. I'd hate to be responsibleCopy !req
512. if you started a hemorrhage
or something.Copy !req
513. It wasn't my fault.Copy !req
514. I mean, you admitted
that yourself,
but even so...Copy !req
515. look, I signed a paper
absolving you of any blame.Copy !req
516. Isn't that enough?Copy !req
517. Yeah. Don't get sore, mister.Copy !req
518. I'm just worried
about you is all.Copy !req
519. Uh, mister?Copy !req
520. It's none of my business, but...Copy !req
521. how come you were wandering
around out thereCopy !req
522. in the middle of nowhere?Copy !req
523. I don't know.Copy !req
524. Thank you. I'm sorry
I've caused you any trouble.Copy !req
525. Mister, I'm just glad
you're alive.Copy !req
526. Yes?Copy !req
527. Alan?Copy !req
528. Darling, I've been calling
every 15 minutes.Copy !req
529. I've been so worried.Copy !req
530. What happened?Copy !req
531. I'm not sure.Copy !req
532. Are you all right?Copy !req
533. I don't know.Copy !req
534. Alan...Copy !req
535. look, jess, why don't
you just forget about me?Copy !req
536. I don't know what's going on.Copy !req
537. Listen to me.Copy !req
538. I called dr. MatthewsCopy !req
539. and I made an appointment
for you for tomorrow morning.Copy !req
540. I'll be at the hotel
to pick you up at 9:30.Copy !req
541. You'd do that after
everything that's happened?Copy !req
542. Yes, I would.Copy !req
543. Mr. Talbot, I...Copy !req
544. I didn't plan
on falling in love with you,Copy !req
545. but I did...Copy !req
546. and I'm stuck with it,
for better or for worse.Copy !req
547. Well, thank you.Copy !req
548. Would you like me
to come over now?Copy !req
549. No, uh...Copy !req
550. uh...Copy !req
551. I'll see you
tomorrow morning.Copy !req
552. Good night, jess.Copy !req
553. Try not to worry, please.Copy !req
554. Good night.Copy !req
555. Hello, alan.Copy !req
556. I've been waiting for you.Copy !req
557. You real?Copy !req
558. Well, that's a matter
of opinion.Copy !req
559. I used to think so,
years ago.Copy !req
560. Now I'm not so sure.Copy !req
561. Sit down, alan,
over there.Copy !req
562. I'll pour us
a drink.Copy !req
563. Go on, sit down.
There's nothing to be afraid of.Copy !req
564. By the way, you almost killed me
with those scissors.Copy !req
565. Did you know that?Copy !req
566. It's a shame you didn't.Copy !req
567. But then nothing
ever works out right for me.Copy !req
568. See how close it was?Copy !req
569. Who are you?Copy !req
570. You already know that.
You must.Copy !req
571. How else could
you have found me?Copy !req
572. I looked you up
in the phone book.Copy !req
573. Yeah, but how...Copy !req
574. oh, I see.Copy !req
575. You've been to coeurville,
haven't you?Copy !req
576. Yes!Copy !req
577. And you know... what?Copy !req
578. Your name.Copy !req
579. That's all?Copy !req
580. That's all.Copy !req
581. In that case, you better have
some of that drink.Copy !req
582. Exactly eight days ago, you
were born here in this house.Copy !req
583. What?Copy !req
584. I made the delivery myself.Copy !req
585. You're drunk!Copy !req
586. A little bit...
but not drunk enough.Copy !req
587. Will you join me?Copy !req
588. I guarantee
no hangover.Copy !req
589. Wasn't that thoughtful
of me?Copy !req
590. Look, I'm in no mood
for jokes, mister.Copy !req
591. Well, that's a pity,Copy !req
592. because this whole thing
is a joke.Copy !req
593. Yeah, well, I'm
not laughing.Copy !req
594. You will,
because the joke's on me.Copy !req
595. Would you get
to the point?Copy !req
596. Well, you've been to coeurville.Copy !req
597. You know that alan talbot
never lived there.Copy !req
598. You know you've been behaving
oddly of late.Copy !req
599. Judging from that handkerchief
on your arm,Copy !req
600. I'd say you know
about that, too.Copy !req
601. So, with all
this information,Copy !req
602. what do I need to tell you?Copy !req
603. Who am I?Copy !req
604. You're nobody, alan,
nobody at all.Copy !req
605. Stop it, walter!Copy !req
606. Well, whois this watch
I'm wearing? Ask me that!Copy !req
607. Whois the refrigerator
in the kitchen?Copy !req
608. Don't you understand?Copy !req
609. No.Copy !req
610. You're a machine, alan,
a mechanical device.Copy !req
611. I don't believe it!Copy !req
612. I don't blame you.
I wouldn't believe it, either.Copy !req
613. But it's true.Copy !req
614. The fact is, you were born
a long time ago, inside my head.Copy !req
615. All kids have dreams,
don't they?Copy !req
616. Well, you were mine.Copy !req
617. The others thoughtCopy !req
618. about joining the army
or flying to mars.Copy !req
619. They finally grew up
and they forgot their dreams.Copy !req
620. I didn't.Copy !req
621. I thought about one thing
and longed for one thing always.Copy !req
622. Just one.Copy !req
623. A perfect artificial man.Copy !req
624. Not a robot-Copy !req
625. a duplicate
of a human being.Copy !req
626. Well, it was harmless.Copy !req
627. Not even very imaginative
for a child.Copy !req
628. But then I became an adult.Copy !req
629. Only somewhere along the line,
I forgot to grow up-Copy !req
630. like most geniuses.Copy !req
631. I kept my dream.Copy !req
632. I created you, alan.Copy !req
633. Is that straight enough for you?Copy !req
634. You're not only drunk,
you're crazy!Copy !req
635. How would you explain that?Copy !req
636. Why, it's an artificial arm.
I don't know!Copy !req
637. You expect me to believe
I'm a machineCopy !req
638. when I know I'm not?Copy !req
639. That's ridiculous!Copy !req
640. I eat, I drink, I sleep!Copy !req
641. Didn't I tell you
I wanted a perfect creation?Copy !req
642. Alan...Copy !req
643. alan, I want you
to come with me.Copy !req
644. Where?Copy !req
645. Well, let's call it
the, uh, delivery room.Copy !req
646. Don't you want to see
where you were born?Copy !req
647. Your birthplace.Copy !req
648. Come on.Copy !req
649. Turn it off!Copy !req
650. Over here, alan.Copy !req
651. Your brothers.Copy !req
652. Alan talbot I...Copy !req
653. alan talbot ii.Copy !req
654. Factory rejects.Copy !req
655. Any questions?Copy !req
656. Where did you get the money
for all this?Copy !req
657. I told you,
I'm a genius!Copy !req
658. When I found outCopy !req
659. how much I'd need
for my work,Copy !req
660. I developed
an improved calculator.Copy !req
661. Try electronics turns out
3,000 or 4,000 a year.Copy !req
662. I get the royalties.Copy !req
663. The money was
the least of it.Copy !req
664. The failures, though,
they were bad.Copy !req
665. I can't tell you how many times
I've failedCopy !req
666. and had to start over again.Copy !req
667. You did this all by yourself?Copy !req
668. No, that wouldn't
have been possible.Copy !req
669. I'm afraid the day
of the lone inventor has passed.Copy !req
670. I had some of the best
scientific mindsCopy !req
671. in the world
assisting me.Copy !req
672. But, of course,Copy !req
673. they didn't take
the project seriously.Copy !req
674. To them,
it was just a game-Copy !req
675. a lot of theoretical
wool-gathering.Copy !req
676. How would
it be possibleCopy !req
677. to create an entire
nervous systemCopy !req
678. that worked like
a real one?Copy !req
679. How could the brain
be duplicatedCopy !req
680. with all its subtleties?Copy !req
681. You see, I was after
real intelligence.Copy !req
682. Mere reactions weren't enough.Copy !req
683. Those mannequins can react.Copy !req
684. My creation had
to have a memory.Copy !req
685. He had to have
abstract reasoning power,Copy !req
686. a past, a personality.Copy !req
687. Millions
of intricate facetsCopy !req
688. multiplied by millionsCopy !req
689. to make true intelligence.Copy !req
690. Now...Copy !req
691. to accomplish this
from the beginningCopy !req
692. would have been
impossible.Copy !req
693. I don't know
what you're talking about.Copy !req
694. What do you mean,
you decided to use yourself?Copy !req
695. Just that.Copy !req
696. In certain of your cells,
I made certain impressions.Copy !req
697. My own memories went
into the cells.Copy !req
698. Some of my talents,
some of my knowledge-Copy !req
699. bits and pieces of myself.Copy !req
700. So now you're telling me
that I'm you?Copy !req
701. That's right.Copy !req
702. Well, that's impossible.
I'm me! This is my flesh!Copy !req
703. Nonconductive plastic.Copy !req
704. I admit, it feels like flesh...
but then, that was the idea.Copy !req
705. You see, I cushioned
the mechanical partsCopy !req
706. with a foam layer,
and then I worked out a...Copy !req
707. but that's not what you want
to hear, is it?Copy !req
708. You lived in coeurville?Copy !req
709. Yes.Copy !req
710. For your past, I gave you
my memories of the town.Copy !req
711. Some of them must have been
inaccurate and incomplete.Copy !req
712. I left coeurville 20 years ago.Copy !req
713. Going there must have been
quite an experience.Copy !req
714. Yeah, it was.Copy !req
715. What about the university?Copy !req
716. Fictitious.
I had to give you a job.Copy !req
717. Well, aunt mildred!Copy !req
718. All the old ladies
I've ever known rolled into one.Copy !req
719. After my parents died,
I lived alone.Copy !req
720. The reputation as a don juan is,
I regret to say, imaginary.Copy !req
721. Well, that's about it, alan.Copy !req
722. The rest you can fill in,
up to last week, anyway.Copy !req
723. What about last week?Copy !req
724. I wish I knew.
Something went wrong.Copy !req
725. I couldn't understand.Copy !req
726. You suddenly attacked me
with a pair of scissorsCopy !req
727. and then ran away.Copy !req
728. As you know, I've been unable
to find you since.Copy !req
729. What's wrong with me?Copy !req
730. I'm not sure.Copy !req
731. Whatever it is,
it's wrong with me, too.Copy !req
732. We're all potential murderers,
alan, all of us.Copy !req
733. But if we're normal, we're
protected by our inhibitions.Copy !req
734. You've wanted to kill?Copy !req
735. Of course. Everybody has.Copy !req
736. But my own inhibitions
have held my impulses in check.Copy !req
737. I couldn't kill, no matter
how much I might want to.Copy !req
738. So what are you saying?Copy !req
739. With you, something
went wrong.Copy !req
740. To put it even clearer, alan,
you're insane.Copy !req
741. Can I be treated?Copy !req
742. Repaired, you mean?Copy !req
743. I don't know.Copy !req
744. Why not?Copy !req
745. Well, as much
as I hate to admit it,Copy !req
746. luck had a great deal
to do with your creation.Copy !req
747. Skill alone wasn't enough.Copy !req
748. You saying I'm an accident?Copy !req
749. I'm afraid so.Copy !req
750. You see, alan, I was like
a blind man with a machine gun.Copy !req
751. I kept firing
and reloading and firing,Copy !req
752. and finally I hit the target,
but it was off-center.Copy !req
753. I don't even know
if I could come close again.Copy !req
754. That's the story
of my life,Copy !req
755. right down the line.Copy !req
756. Success
in the little things.Copy !req
757. Failure
in the big ones.Copy !req
758. I told myself
I wanted to makeCopy !req
759. an artificial man,
but I thinkCopy !req
760. what I really wanted
was to buildCopy !req
761. another walter ryder-Copy !req
762. only without
the drawbacks.Copy !req
763. Sort of a reverse
jekyll and hyde.Copy !req
764. Everything I wished I was,
my creation would be.Copy !req
765. Where I was shy,
he would be aggressive.Copy !req
766. Where I was cold and withdrawn,
he would be warm and outgoing.Copy !req
767. Loneliness would
be unknown to him.Copy !req
768. Disease and pain
and death- all unknown.Copy !req
769. He would be unselfish.Copy !req
770. He would be ambitious
but not fanatical.Copy !req
771. And, oh, alan,
he would be perfect!Copy !req
772. That was my dream:Copy !req
773. A perfect version
of myself.Copy !req
774. I ought to kill you.Copy !req
775. That's right. You should.Copy !req
776. There's somebody else,
walter- a girl.Copy !req
777. We were going to be
married next week.Copy !req
778. Is she pretty?Copy !req
779. Pretty, intelligent...Copy !req
780. and lonely-Copy !req
781. something you ought
to be able to understand.Copy !req
782. I'm sorry, alan.Copy !req
783. Well, that's
a great consolation.Copy !req
784. You sure you can't fix me?Copy !req
785. Even if I could,
it wouldn't solve your problems.Copy !req
786. The girl would find out
eventually.Copy !req
787. How?Copy !req
788. Well, for one thing, she would
grow old and you wouldn't.Copy !req
789. For another, being a machine,Copy !req
790. you would suffer
a breakdown someday.Copy !req
791. All of these things
never occurred to you?Copy !req
792. I guess I didn't really think
I'd succeed as well as I did.Copy !req
793. What does
it matter anyway?Copy !req
794. There's nothing
that can be done.Copy !req
795. Yes, there is.Copy !req
796. You're going to createCopy !req
797. another alan talbot.Copy !req
798. No, I just told you!Copy !req
799. You heard me-
another alan talbot!Copy !req
800. Only this one's going
to be right.Copy !req
801. And he's going to walk
out of here tonight,Copy !req
802. and he's going to marry
a girl named jess,Copy !req
803. and for the first time
in his miserable life,Copy !req
804. he's going to be happy.Copy !req
805. Well, I don't understand.Copy !req
806. You give me
a pencil.Copy !req
807. Now, this is
her name...Copy !req
808. and address.Copy !req
809. She said she
would meet meCopy !req
810. at 9:30 in
the morning,Copy !req
811. but she'll
be home now.Copy !req
812. What's the matter, alan?
What is it?Copy !req
813. Now, you take it.Copy !req
814. Take it and get out... now.Copy !req
815. And hurry!Copy !req
816. Alan...Copy !req
817. alan?Copy !req
818. Just a minute.Copy !req
819. Who is it?Copy !req
820. I'm sorry to
bother you, ma'am,Copy !req
821. but, uh, see,
like, I belongCopy !req
822. to the junior
woodchucks,
and, uh...Copy !req
823. come in, alan.Copy !req
824. Why are you looking
at me like that?Copy !req
825. I don't know.Copy !req
826. I've been so worried.Copy !req
827. After yesterday, I didn't-Copy !req
828. forget yesterday.Copy !req
829. Whatever happened,
forget that.Copy !req
830. Oh, but, alan...Copy !req
831. please?Copy !req
832. We just had a rotten nightmare,
that's all.Copy !req
833. Now we're awake, and
everything's going to be fine.Copy !req
834. Will you try to believe that?Copy !req
835. Do you?Copy !req
836. Yes.Copy !req
837. Okay.Copy !req
838. Then so do I.Copy !req
839. If you promise
to tell me about it someday.Copy !req
840. I promise, someday.Copy !req
841. Now, will you fix
me a cup of coffee?Copy !req
842. Sure.Copy !req
843. Would you like something to eat?Copy !req
844. How about a couple of mother
connelly's hand-fried eggs?Copy !req
845. They're guaranteedCopy !req
846. to make a new man
out of you.Copy !req
847. Thank you.Copy !req
848. In a way it can be saidCopy !req
849. that walter ryder succeeded
in his life's ambition,Copy !req
850. even though the man he created
was, after all, himself.Copy !req
851. There may be easier ways
to self-improvement,Copy !req
852. but sometimes it happens
that the shortest distanceCopy !req
853. between two points
is a crooked lineCopy !req
854. through the twilight zone.Copy !req
855. The ingredients:Copy !req
856. An american destroyer,
the pacific ocean,Copy !req
857. and a ghostly sound of hammering
from 30 fathoms below.Copy !req
858. They add up to a strange tale
of the bizarre and nightmarish.Copy !req
