Copy !req
2. You unlock this door
with the key of imagination.
Copy !req
3. Beyond it is another dimension-
Copy !req
4. a dimension of sound...
Copy !req
5. a dimension of sight...
Copy !req
6. a dimension of mind.
Copy !req
7. You're moving into a land
of both shadow and substance,
Copy !req
8. of things and ideas.
Copy !req
9. You've just crossed over
into the twilight zone.
Copy !req
10. Yeah.
Copy !req
11. This is grady.
Copy !req
12. Who?
Copy !req
13. What paper?
Copy !req
14. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
15. Yeah, so you're the creep tha...
Copy !req
16. I said creep!
Copy !req
17. Yeah, I know who you are.
Copy !req
18. I know who you are.
Copy !req
19. Sure, I read your column.
Copy !req
20. Every time I read it,
it makes me sick.
Copy !req
21. I want to use a stomach pump!
Copy !req
22. Don't try and nuzzle up to me
with that "mr. Grady" stuff.
Copy !req
23. Three years ago
you stuck in the shiv!
Copy !req
24. Listen to me, I had nothing
to do with horse doping.
Copy !req
25. Nothing- you understand that?
Copy !req
26. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
27. Sure, a couple of taps
on the typewriter
Copy !req
28. and I get a 60-day suspension!
Copy !req
29. You can talk pretty safe
now you're 50 blocks away.
Copy !req
30. If you were here
in this room now,
Copy !req
31. I'd scrape you off the wall
and put you in a cup!
Copy !req
32. How does that grab you?
Copy !req
33. This is a statement
to the press!
Copy !req
34. Grady to the press, you fink.
Copy !req
35. You hyenas down there.
Copy !req
36. Listen, and don't forget
to spell the name correct!
Copy !req
37. G-r-a-d-y!
Copy !req
38. You chump.
Copy !req
39. You stupid, rotten chump.
Copy !req
40. Just on account
of a couple of fixes, huh?
Copy !req
41. Big boys walk away
with all the big dough.
Copy !req
42. What do you walk away with, huh?
Copy !req
43. A bagful of change.
Copy !req
44. What are you going to do now?
Copy !req
45. I know what you'll do.
Copy !req
46. You get a carriage,
Copy !req
47. and you'll drive lovers
through central park.
Copy !req
48. Grady, you kill me.
Copy !req
49. You... you kill me, boy.
Copy !req
50. Yes... you runt!
Copy !req
51. You shrimp!
Copy !req
52. What are you going
to do now, pal?
Copy !req
53. What can you do?
Copy !req
54. The name is grady-
Copy !req
55. five feet short
in stockings and boots,
Copy !req
56. a slightly distorted offshoot
of a good breed of humans
Copy !req
57. who race horses.
Copy !req
58. He happens to be one
of the rotten apples,
Copy !req
59. bruised and yellowed
by dealing in dirt,
Copy !req
60. a short man with a short memory
Copy !req
61. who's forgotten that he's worked
for the sport of kings
Copy !req
62. and helped turn it
into a cesspool,
Copy !req
63. used and misused
by the two-legged animals
Copy !req
64. who have hung
around sporting events
Copy !req
65. since the days of the coliseum.
Copy !req
66. So this is grady,
on his last night as a jockey.
Copy !req
67. Behind him are hialeah,
hollywood park and saratoga.
Copy !req
68. Rounding the far turn
and coming up fast on the rail-
Copy !req
69. is the twilight zone.
Copy !req
70. How goes the world, mr. Grady?
Copy !req
71. Who...?
Copy !req
72. What...?
Copy !req
73. Little tight on the turns?
Copy !req
74. Bogged down by a muddy track?
Copy !req
75. How goes it, mr. Grady?
Copy !req
76. It's a gag.
Copy !req
77. It's a gag.
Copy !req
78. Huh?
Copy !req
79. It's a gag, huh?
Copy !req
80. All right, now.
Copy !req
81. Look you...
you made your point.
Copy !req
82. Where are you?
Copy !req
83. Where am I?
Copy !req
84. I'm between the frontal lobes,
mr. Grady.
Copy !req
85. What?
Copy !req
86. Inside your head-
Copy !req
87. securely nestled
in the gray convolutions.
Copy !req
88. Convolutions?
Copy !req
89. Just what is that
supposed to mean?
Copy !req
90. I'm inside your head, mr. Grady.
Copy !req
91. My head?
Copy !req
92. How you like it in there, huh?
Copy !req
93. How you like it in there?
Copy !req
94. Are you comfortable?
Copy !req
95. Huh?
Copy !req
96. Excuse me for laughing.
Copy !req
97. That's a funny question.
Copy !req
98. Comfortable inside your head?
Copy !req
99. It's like sleeping in the midst
of a parade on 42nd street-
Copy !req
100. noisy, crowded, uncomfortable.
Copy !req
101. In fact, I'm sick of it.
Copy !req
102. If you're sick of it, get out.
Copy !req
103. You're sick of it.
Copy !req
104. Get out of there.
Copy !req
105. I wished I could.
Copy !req
106. It would be much more
comfortable outside
Copy !req
107. instead of being cooped up in
that tiny little brain of yours.
Copy !req
108. Who are you?
Copy !req
109. I'm your memory,
your conscience, mr. Grady.
Copy !req
110. I'm every one of your
aspirations and recollections.
Copy !req
111. I'm every one of your failures
and defeats.
Copy !req
112. I also wear the wreaths
of all your victories.
Copy !req
113. I'm what you call
the "alter ego."
Copy !req
114. Ego.
Copy !req
115. Big deal.
Copy !req
116. Big deal!
Copy !req
117. What do you want?
Copy !req
118. I think the apt question
would be, "what is it you want?"
Copy !req
119. It's a hot one, huh?
Copy !req
120. What do I want?
Copy !req
121. I don't need a thing.
Copy !req
122. What do I want?
Copy !req
123. You really are a
dumb little runt.
Copy !req
124. That's what you call
yourself, isn't it?
Copy !req
125. "Runt" or was
it "shrimp"?
Copy !req
126. Why don't you get out of here?
Copy !req
127. How do I get you out of here?
Copy !req
128. You don't,
you don't.
Copy !req
129. You live with me.
Copy !req
130. In fact, you
might find me
very interesting.
Copy !req
131. I know you very
well, mr. Grady.
Copy !req
132. There isn't
one thought
Copy !req
133. that crosses
your mind
Copy !req
134. that I'm not
aware of.
Copy !req
135. There isn't one
ugly recollection,
Copy !req
136. one bitter little shame
that I'm not aware of.
Copy !req
137. Bitter little shame.
Copy !req
138. You don't know me
from man o'war.
Copy !req
139. I got no bitter recollections.
Copy !req
140. Oh, come now, mr. Grady.
Copy !req
141. Look, shall we look
at the record book?
Copy !req
142. 1961- hialeah.
Copy !req
143. Suspended for riding
infractions.
Copy !req
144. It wasn't my fault.
Copy !req
145. 1962- six month suspension
Copy !req
146. for failure to report
a bribe offer.
Copy !req
147. I was framed.
Copy !req
148. And now most recently
Copy !req
149. the crowning touch
to an illustrious career
Copy !req
150. lifetime suspension
for race fixing, horse doping.
Copy !req
151. I didn't dope any horses.
Copy !req
152. Career's shot.
Copy !req
153. Roughly eight dollars
in your jeans.
Copy !req
154. I don't need you.
Copy !req
155. It won't be any time at all.
Copy !req
156. Two year's time I'll be back up
Copy !req
157. riding five or six
winners a day.
Copy !req
158. You'll drive a carriage
with lovers in it
Copy !req
159. through central park.
Copy !req
160. Knock it off!
Copy !req
161. No, you need me, mr. Grady.
Copy !req
162. In fact, you have
desperate need of me.
Copy !req
163. Knock it off!
Copy !req
164. Where are you now?
Copy !req
165. Huh?
Copy !req
166. Where are you now?
Copy !req
167. Ah, you fake!
Copy !req
168. I need you
like I need pneumonia.
Copy !req
169. Like I need a fractured leg,
that's how I need you.
Copy !req
170. Who do you think
you're talking to anyway?
Copy !req
171. Who do you think
you're talking to?
Copy !req
172. I make one phone call
to hencheck,
Copy !req
173. one phone call,
and in an hour's time,
Copy !req
174. I'm on my way to puerto rico
riding in the warm sun.
Copy !req
175. Two years time, I'll be back
here riding in silks.
Copy !req
176. Why don't you call
mr. Hencheck?
Copy !req
177. Go ahead, give him a buzz.
Copy !req
178. I'll show you, loudmouth.
Copy !req
179. I'll make you eat
every rotten word.
Copy !req
180. Hello, this is grady.
Copy !req
181. Hencheck there?
Copy !req
182. I want to talk to him!
Copy !req
183. Listen to this.
Copy !req
184. Hello, hencheck, it's grady.
Copy !req
185. What's to be surprised about?
Copy !req
186. You had your boat race,
so you made your pile.
Copy !req
187. I'm down to my last eight bucks.
Copy !req
188. I figure it's time
that grady got his, see?
Copy !req
189. I figure that...
Copy !req
190. hencheck.
Copy !req
191. Very unappreciative.
Copy !req
192. Well, that's the breaks.
Copy !req
193. They take, they never give.
Copy !req
194. What's to do now?
Copy !req
195. Write a will and take gas?
Copy !req
196. Look, I could nickel-and-dime
Copy !req
197. or I could buy and sell him
a year ago.
Copy !req
198. I don't need him.
Copy !req
199. I don't need you.
Copy !req
200. I don't need nobody.
Copy !req
201. I was a big man once.
Copy !req
202. I can be big again.
Wait and see.
Copy !req
203. You know,
it was just a year ago
Copy !req
204. you were strutting
around the country,
Copy !req
205. you wore nice, shiny shoes,
Copy !req
206. new clothes, tipped big.
Copy !req
207. You had some compensation
then, mr. Grady.
Copy !req
208. Compensation?
Copy !req
209. For the fact that
you're a little runt.
Copy !req
210. For the unpleasant realization
that all your life
Copy !req
211. you've had to stand on tiptoe
to look at what's around you.
Copy !req
212. I wish you were here right now,
hear me?
Copy !req
213. I wish you were here right now.
Copy !req
214. Just look down...
under your feet.
Copy !req
215. Mr. Grady, you know
what you want?
Copy !req
216. You want to be respected.
Copy !req
217. Up on a horse you're a man.
Copy !req
218. On the ground
you're a half-pint.
Copy !req
219. Shut up! Shut up!
Copy !req
220. Shut up, you understand?
Copy !req
221. Easy, mr. Grady.
Copy !req
222. Easy does it, easy does it.
Copy !req
223. Now we get to the moment
of truth- the ultimate.
Copy !req
224. Now you hit pay dirt, kid.
Copy !req
225. You get whatever you want.
Copy !req
226. What do you mean
"whatever I want"?
Copy !req
227. Tell me, what is it you want
Copy !req
228. more than anything else
on the earth?
Copy !req
229. This is the moment, this is it.
Copy !req
230. What is it you want, mr. Grady?
Copy !req
231. Name it- it's yours.
Copy !req
232. What do I want?
Copy !req
233. What do I want?
Copy !req
234. I want to be the biggest.
Copy !req
235. Hear me?
Copy !req
236. Yeah, that's what I want.
Copy !req
237. I want to be the biggest.
Copy !req
238. I want to be big!
Copy !req
239. Damn you, I want to be big!
Copy !req
240. Have a good rest, mr. Grady?
Copy !req
241. Yeah. Yeah.
Copy !req
242. I had a good rest.
Copy !req
243. This is wild.
Copy !req
244. This is wild.
Copy !req
245. Like what you see?
Copy !req
246. What is this?
Copy !req
247. Am I dreaming?
Copy !req
248. Is this is a dream?
Copy !req
249. A dream- oh, come now.
Copy !req
250. Look, touch the dresser.
Copy !req
251. Yeah.
Copy !req
252. Yeah, I'll touch it.
Copy !req
253. Yeah, that's it.
Copy !req
254. Now touch the overhead beam.
Copy !req
255. Yeah.
Copy !req
256. These are all
very solid objects-
Copy !req
257. width, height,
thickness and reality.
Copy !req
258. Yeah...
Copy !req
259. yeah.
Copy !req
260. Hey, what is this?
Copy !req
261. You had your heart's desire.
Copy !req
262. You didn't ask for a two-hour
escape with morpheus.
Copy !req
263. You wanted stature, mr. Grady.
Copy !req
264. You wanted size.
Copy !req
265. You wanted a view from a long
way up and a long way out.
Copy !req
266. Yeah, I wanted size.
Copy !req
267. You wanted to be big.
Copy !req
268. Well, look at yourself.
Copy !req
269. You're big.
Copy !req
270. You're mr. Big.
Copy !req
271. You're hercules, you're the most
sizable thing since paul bunyan.
Copy !req
272. You don't have any complaints
Copy !req
273. that you want
to trot out, do you?
Copy !req
274. Complaints?
Copy !req
275. Do I have any complaints?
Copy !req
276. No, I have no complaints.
Copy !req
277. Hey, you know
what this calls for?
Copy !req
278. This calls for a-a celebration.
Copy !req
279. Look, hey, here, hey,
you drink, don't ya?
Copy !req
280. Huh? You drink?
Copy !req
281. Go right ahead.
Copy !req
282. Be my guest.
Copy !req
283. Yeah, well,
here's mud in your eye.
Copy !req
284. Too bad you can't
enjoy this with me.
Copy !req
285. I'm joining you,
I'm joining you.
Copy !req
286. Believe me, I'm feeling
Copy !req
287. the hot little ripples
just as you do.
Copy !req
288. You do, huh?
Copy !req
289. Yeah?
Copy !req
290. Well, you stay right in there.
Copy !req
291. You stay there.
Copy !req
292. I'm gonna have some fun,
you understand?
Copy !req
293. I'm gonna have some fun! See?
Copy !req
294. Ooh, careful, careful.
Copy !req
295. You don't want to go
through the floor.
Copy !req
296. Hey...
Copy !req
297. mr. Grady.
Copy !req
298. Mr. Grady!
Copy !req
299. Yeah.
Copy !req
300. Like the view, do you?
Copy !req
301. I love it. I love it.
Copy !req
302. You know what
I'm going to do now?
Copy !req
303. I'm gonna make a call,
Copy !req
304. a telephone call
to somebody very special,
Copy !req
305. a very, very special girl.
Copy !req
306. And when she hears about this...
Copy !req
307. she's going to flip.
Copy !req
308. Really, pal,
are you that attractive?
Copy !req
309. Tell me, does size mean
that much?
Copy !req
310. You bet your bottom dollar
it does.
Copy !req
311. You know she used to lean over
and pat me on the head.
Copy !req
312. Hello, honey.
Copy !req
313. Hello, doll.
Copy !req
314. You know who this is?
Copy !req
315. This is grady.
Copy !req
316. Yeah.
Copy !req
317. Wait a minute, honey,
don't brush me off.
Copy !req
318. This is your ex-meal ticket,
Copy !req
319. an eight-course meal ticket
at that!
Copy !req
320. Now listen to this, honey...
Copy !req
321. I'm big.
Copy !req
322. Understand that?
Copy !req
323. I'm b-l-g.
Copy !req
324. Big, big, big, big, big.
Copy !req
325. I don't know, I may be six,
seven, eight feet tall.
Copy !req
326. I don't know.
Copy !req
327. The lakers will be scouting me
any day now.
Copy !req
328. Huh?
Copy !req
329. What a minute,
you don't talk to me like th...
Copy !req
330. you don't talk to me like that,
I said.
Copy !req
331. You heard what I...
Copy !req
332. I'll slap your face off!
Copy !req
333. You no good alley cat!
Copy !req
334. That's great-
that was wonderful.
Copy !req
335. You managed to flex
your muscles
Copy !req
336. in a most impressive fashion.
Copy !req
337. At this rate you're going,
women all over the world
Copy !req
338. will be flocking
to your doorstep no doubt.
Copy !req
339. Well, I can call 12 girls.
Copy !req
340. Just because I struck out
this time,
Copy !req
341. I could call 12 girls prettier
and nicer than that one.
Copy !req
342. You don't believe me, do you?
Copy !req
343. So far you just haven't
impressed me.
Copy !req
344. Well, I will.
Copy !req
345. I will.
Copy !req
346. Yeah.
Copy !req
347. What do you mean, too loud?
Copy !req
348. Oh.
Copy !req
349. How's that, mac,
is that better?
Copy !req
350. Good.
Copy !req
351. Hmm?
Copy !req
352. What time?
Copy !req
353. Yeah.
Copy !req
354. Yeah, I'll be expecting
his call.
Copy !req
355. Thank you.
Copy !req
356. Yeah.
Copy !req
357. He knows the number, doesn't he?
Copy !req
358. Fine, fine. Thanks.
Copy !req
359. What was that all about?
Copy !req
360. That was a fellow telling me
Copy !req
361. that a lawyer was going to call
me from the racing commission.
Copy !req
362. Hey, tell me,
who are you?
Copy !req
363. My imagination?
Copy !req
364. You, uh, you don't have very
much imagination, mr. Grady.
Copy !req
365. Wait a minute,
who are you, what are you?
Copy !req
366. I mean, what's all this
"alter ego" jazz?
Copy !req
367. Well, I'll tell
you, mr. Grady.
Copy !req
368. I'll try to make it
as simple as possible.
Copy !req
369. I'm the fate every man
makes for himself.
Copy !req
370. You generally find me
Copy !req
371. down at the bottom
of the barrel.
Copy !req
372. I'm the strength
dredged up
Copy !req
373. in desperation.
Copy !req
374. I'm the last gasp.
Copy !req
375. That's supposed
to be clear, huh?
Copy !req
376. You're nothing!
Copy !req
377. Nothing, understand?
Copy !req
378. Oh, I'm something.
Copy !req
379. Really, I'm something.
Copy !req
380. In some cases
I'm something very good.
Copy !req
381. In some cases- depending upon
the person I'm representing-
Copy !req
382. I can work miracles.
Copy !req
383. You do?
Copy !req
384. I come with heroism,
sacrifice, strength,
Copy !req
385. and even better than that,
Copy !req
386. I can epitomize
everything noble in men.
Copy !req
387. You can, huh?
Copy !req
388. Now, in your case, mr. Grady,
Copy !req
389. your requirements
were quite small.
Copy !req
390. What do you mean, quite small?
Copy !req
391. Your dreams
were rather insignificant,
Copy !req
392. your aspirations
hardly worth mentioning.
Copy !req
393. I mean to say, if you had asked
to win the kentucky derby,
Copy !req
394. and win it cleanly
and with honor,
Copy !req
395. that would've been quite
a moment, wouldn't it?
Copy !req
396. Yeah.
Copy !req
397. That'd been the greatest.
Copy !req
398. Or if you'd asked to perform
an act of heroism, let's say,
Copy !req
399. that would've been qualification
for the respect you seek.
Copy !req
400. This, too, would've been
exemplary, right?
Copy !req
401. I suppose that would've
been all right, yeah.
Copy !req
402. But as it is, mr. Grady,
what was your heart's desire?
Copy !req
403. Well, I...
Copy !req
404. wanted...
Copy !req
405. I wanted...
Copy !req
406. I wanted to...
Copy !req
407. to be a big man.
Copy !req
408. That's right, yes.
Copy !req
409. Big in the sense that your
hands can smother a telephone,
Copy !req
410. your face can overshoot
its reflections in the mirror.
Copy !req
411. You come real cheap.
Copy !req
412. I don't come cheap.
Copy !req
413. All I ever wanted out of life
Copy !req
414. was the fact that
I could walk down the street
Copy !req
415. and people not stare at me
like I was a freak!
Copy !req
416. I am not cheap, buddy.
Copy !req
417. I don't come cheap.
Copy !req
418. I've got my heart's desire.
Copy !req
419. Yeah?
Copy !req
420. Yes, mr. Newman.
Copy !req
421. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
422. Really?
Copy !req
423. Really? Do you...?
Copy !req
424. Thank you, sir.
Copy !req
425. You don't know how much
this means to me.
Copy !req
426. Thank the members of the board,
Copy !req
427. and thank everybody that went
to bat for me, will you?
Copy !req
428. Just... just thank them.
Copy !req
429. Tell them how much
I appreciate it.
Copy !req
430. Thank you very much, mr. Newman.
Copy !req
431. And listen, tell everybody
Copy !req
432. they don't have to worry
about me anymore.
Copy !req
433. I'll play it straight.
Copy !req
434. I mean, no worries.
Copy !req
435. Cut-and-dried, you understand?
Copy !req
436. When grady's up,
the worries are over, right?
Copy !req
437. Thanks, mr. Newman.
Copy !req
438. And thank everybody for me.
Copy !req
439. Right. Good-bye.
Copy !req
440. What do you think now,
loudmouth?
Copy !req
441. Everything's going my way.
Copy !req
442. One phone call
and you're top dog, huh?
Copy !req
443. You know who that was?
Copy !req
444. That was the racing commission.
Copy !req
445. A lot of owners
have signed a petition.
Copy !req
446. They want me to ride again,
do you understand that?
Copy !req
447. They want grady to ride again.
Copy !req
448. I'm going to ride again.
Copy !req
449. What's so funny?
Copy !req
450. Eh?
Copy !req
451. What's so funny
about me riding...?
Copy !req
452. Eh...
Copy !req
453. I'm going to ri...
Copy !req
454. wait a minute.
Copy !req
455. I'm too big.
Copy !req
456. I'm too big.
Copy !req
457. I'm too big!
Copy !req
458. I can't ride!
Copy !req
459. Wait a minute!
Copy !req
460. I can't ride!
Copy !req
461. I can't wear my clothes!
Copy !req
462. I'm too... I'm too big!
Copy !req
463. I'm too big!
Copy !req
464. Hear me?
Copy !req
465. I'm too big!
Copy !req
466. I can't ride!
Copy !req
467. No!
Copy !req
468. Please, please...
please make me small!
Copy !req
469. Please, I'll never ask
for anything again.
Copy !req
470. Please make me small.
Copy !req
471. Please!
Copy !req
472. Oh, god.
Copy !req
473. Youaresmall, mr. Grady.
Copy !req
474. You see, every time you won
an honest race,
Copy !req
475. that's when you were a giant.
Copy !req
476. Right now they just don't come
any smaller.
Copy !req
477. The name is grady,
ten feet tall,
Copy !req
478. a slightly distorted offshoot
of a good breed of humans
Copy !req
479. who race horses.
Copy !req
480. Unfortunately for mr. Grady,
he learned too late
Copy !req
481. that you don't measure size
with a ruler,
Copy !req
482. you don't figure height
with a yardstick
Copy !req
483. and you never judge a man by
how tall he looks in a mirror.
Copy !req
484. The giant is as he does.
Copy !req
485. You can make a parimutuel bet
on this- win, place or show-
Copy !req
486. in or out of the twilight zone.
Copy !req
487. And now mr. Serling.
Copy !req
488. Next ontwilight zone,
Copy !req
489. a show that might very aptly
be called a living end,
Copy !req
490. and, with comparable aptness,
is called "living doll."
Copy !req
491. It's written by colleague
and cohort charles beaumont,
Copy !req
492. and stars telly savalas,
and costars mary laroche.
Copy !req
493. Mr. Beaumont supplies us
with a little weirdy
Copy !req
494. involving a man and a doll.
Copy !req
495. It comes well recommended.
Copy !req
496. Next time out, "living doll."
