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. Let's get with it,
conklin!
Copy !req
11. A tight office
is a happy office.
Copy !req
12. Idle hands make
for an unproductive poop deck.
Copy !req
13. Belay that,
miss abernathy.
Copy !req
14. Extraneous activity is
nothing more nor less
Copy !req
15. than sloppy seamanship,
in a manner of speaking.
Copy !req
16. You there,
fenstermacher!
Copy !req
17. Let's keep
an even keel there,
Copy !req
18. in a manner
of speaking.
Copy !req
19. Let's keep
an even keel there, man.
Copy !req
20. To all of you...
Copy !req
21. bear in mind
that we must all of us go aft,
Copy !req
22. climb up the old mast and,
in a manner of speaking,
Copy !req
23. set our sights
to a distant horizon.
Copy !req
24. Tight ship! A happy ship!
Copy !req
25. Damn the torpedoes
of competition
Copy !req
26. and full speed ahead!
Copy !req
27. Well shot, mr. Conklin.
Copy !req
28. Right between
captain bligh's eyeballs.
Copy !req
29. He's an exceptional voice;
my ears are still ringing.
Copy !req
30. You know, that fat boy
is headed for mutiny?
Copy !req
31. Where would you find a plank
heavy enough to hold him?
Copy !req
32. When I think of
all the kamikazes
Copy !req
33. they threw at us
during the war,
Copy !req
34. wouldn't you think
justonewould
have hithim?
Copy !req
35. One of these days...
Copy !req
36. one of these days,
all that noise
Copy !req
37. is going to come back
and bite him.
Copy !req
38. I hope I'm around
to see it happen.
Copy !req
39. This is roswell g. Flemington-
Copy !req
40. 220 pounds of gristle,
lung tissue and sound decibels.
Copy !req
41. He is, as you have perceived,
a noisy man;
Copy !req
42. one of a breed who substitutes
volume for substance,
Copy !req
43. sound for significance,
Copy !req
44. and shouting to cover up
the readily apparent phenomena
Copy !req
45. that he is nothing more
Copy !req
46. than an overweight
and aging perennial sea scout
Copy !req
47. whose noisemaking
is in inverse ratio
Copy !req
48. to his competence
and to his character.
Copy !req
49. But soon, our would-be admiral
of the fleet
Copy !req
50. will embark on another voyage.
Copy !req
51. This one is an unchartered
and twisting stream
Copy !req
52. that heads for a distant port
called... the twilight zone.
Copy !req
53. Hello?
Copy !req
54. Hello?
Copy !req
55. Who?
Copy !req
56. Oh, just a moment.
I can't hear you.
Copy !req
57. Please.
Copy !req
58. Roswell! Roswell!
Copy !req
59. Could you turn that down
just a little bit?
Copy !req
60. I can't hear a thing
on the telephone!
Copy !req
61. Do you know what that is, madam?
Copy !req
62. Collector's item.
Copy !req
63. The actual sounds
of the battleshipmissouri
Copy !req
64. bombarding okinawa!
Copy !req
65. But I can't hear
who's on the phone!
Copy !req
66. Lay on, gentlemen,
and let 'em know what's what!
Copy !req
67. Fire at will!
Copy !req
68. And by the good lord harry,
Copy !req
69. we'll show them
how the navy treats aggression!
Copy !req
70. And that, madam,
was an act of utter abomination
Copy !req
71. and the most callous vandalism.
Copy !req
72. May I remind you
Copy !req
73. that those were
the actual sounds
Copy !req
74. of the battleshipmissouri
bombarding okinawa?
Copy !req
75. And there were
only 100
Copy !req
76. such records in existence.
Copy !req
77. Now there are only 99.
Copy !req
78. What you have done, madam,
is an act of desecration
Copy !req
79. not unlike the defacing
of a statue of john paul jones.
Copy !req
80. What are you, madam,
some sort of a fanatic?
Copy !req
81. Roswell, we've had
this out before.
Copy !req
82. is now an obsession.
Copy !req
83. This-this insistence
on blaring noises
Copy !req
84. and running a household
Copy !req
85. like it was a destroyer
escort on convoy duty-
Copy !req
86. the combination has now
become quite impossible,
Copy !req
87. and I can't live with it.
Copy !req
88. Stand, madam!
Copy !req
89. Oh, knock it off, roswell.
Copy !req
90. You are an insufferable,
noisy clown,
Copy !req
91. but you are not stupid!
Copy !req
92. I have had
you up to here,
Copy !req
93. and my ears
have had you,
Copy !req
94. and my stomach
lining has had you,
Copy !req
95. and whatever
part of the brain
Copy !req
96. that keeps a
person balanced-
Copy !req
97. that's had you, too.
Copy !req
98. In short, roswell,
ihave had you!
Copy !req
99. I am absolutely and completely
thunderstruck!
Copy !req
100. Are you, now?
Copy !req
101. I am, indeed.
Copy !req
102. My own wife-
and after 20 years!
Copy !req
103. 20 years ago, roswell,
I wasn't taken in marriage.
Copy !req
104. I waspipedaboard.
Copy !req
105. And after 20 years,
the shrill piping
Copy !req
106. has become absolutely
unbearable.
Copy !req
107. So, at this point, roswell,
I'm leaving,
Copy !req
108. in a manner of speaking,
the ship's company!
Copy !req
109. You're deserting me!
Copy !req
110. In a manner of speaking,
roswell, you said it!
Copy !req
111. It wasn't locked,
roswell.
Copy !req
112. It might interest
you to know, madam,
Copy !req
113. that when I was
a young chap,
Copy !req
114. I had a mother who
insisted she was ill.
Copy !req
115. She was a whiny, petulant,
complaining female
Copy !req
116. similar to yourself.
Copy !req
117. And when I would come
home from school,
Copy !req
118. she would make me walk tiptoe
and whisper.
Copy !req
119. Whisper... whisper... whisper.
Copy !req
120. You know, in our house,
Copy !req
121. we never had any cookies.
Copy !req
122. All we had were fudge brownies,
Copy !req
123. because they made less noise
when you chewed them.
Copy !req
124. "Eat your brownie
Copy !req
125. "and run upstairs and change,
Copy !req
126. but keep it quiet."
Copy !req
127. And I tell you, madam,
I had quite enough of that!
Copy !req
128. And that is why
I went to sea!
Copy !req
129. And that is why
I've spent my life
Copy !req
130. in the very wholesome, healthy
and quite understandable pursuit
Copy !req
131. of the free and the unfettered.
Copy !req
132. And that is why
I am the owner,
Copy !req
133. manager, chairman of the board
and president
Copy !req
134. of the roswell g. Flemington
model ship company-
Copy !req
135. second to none in the field!
Copy !req
136. Whose motto is,
"damn the torpedoes,
Copy !req
137. full steam ahead
for fun and profits."
Copy !req
138. I know the company, I know
the president, I know the motto.
Copy !req
139. And I respond,
mr. Roswell g. Flemington,
Copy !req
140. with the following
nautical phrase
Copy !req
141. whichihave now taken to heart
and will proceed to implement.
Copy !req
142. The phrase is,
"lay aft, and dump the garbage!"
Copy !req
143. So, in a manner
of speaking,
Copy !req
144. consider yourself
dumped!
Copy !req
145. "Flight deck sounds of aircraft
Copy !req
146. leaving the carrierhornet."
Copy !req
147. Good riddance, madam!
Copy !req
148. I have never liked you.
Copy !req
149. I have simply suffered you.
Copy !req
150. Well?
Copy !req
151. Nothing abnormal,
mr. Flemington.
Copy !req
152. No excess wax, no
obstruction of any kind,
Copy !req
153. no inflammation.
Copy !req
154. By the great lord harry,
Copy !req
155. candor dictates, doctor,
that I tell you
Copy !req
156. that as a ship's surgeon,
you wouldn't make a cabin boy
Copy !req
157. in a manner of speaking.
Copy !req
158. Frankly, I
think consulting
another physician
Copy !req
159. might be an extremely
practical idea.
Copy !req
160. I only wish you'd had a modicum
of professional ethics
Copy !req
161. and given me this advice
before you went through
Copy !req
162. the motions of this
perfunctory examination.
Copy !req
163. As it is, I shall be
dunned with your bill
Copy !req
164. as well as the bill of
another ear specialist.
Copy !req
165. In point of fact,
mr. Flemington,
Copy !req
166. I wasn't going to recommend
another ear specialist.
Copy !req
167. Now, I had in mind
perhaps some, uh, well...
Copy !req
168. some psychiatric help.
Copy !req
169. I presume you
are being humorous, sir.
Copy !req
170. It is only that
charitable outlook
Copy !req
171. that prevents your
being called to accounts.
Copy !req
172. Psychiatrist, eh?
Copy !req
173. Well, let me
tell you, doctor-
Copy !req
174. and I use
the term loosely-
Copy !req
175. there are few people
walking this earth
Copy !req
176. as sane as I am.
Copy !req
177. I bid you good day, sir.
Copy !req
178. Good day.
Copy !req
179. What do you suppose
happened to lardhead?
Copy !req
180. Count your blessings, honey.
Copy !req
181. I've been here four years,
Copy !req
182. and this is the first
time he's been late.
Copy !req
183. Wouldn't it be
marvelous if his car
Copy !req
184. fell off the ferryboat
with him in it?
Copy !req
185. The millennium, the
absolute millennium.
Copy !req
186. Thus endeth the dream.
Copy !req
187. Good morning, mr. Flem-
Copy !req
188. I've been here five years
and that's the first time
Copy !req
189. he's walked in
without telling me
Copy !req
190. that the smoking lamp
was not lit
Copy !req
191. and that we had to move
full speed ahead
Copy !req
192. toward the shores
of prosperity.
Copy !req
193. Maybe he's sick.
Copy !req
194. Something incurable,
like barnacles on the brain.
Copy !req
195. Very good.
Copy !req
196. Conklin, get out your darts.
Copy !req
197. Only forget the portrait-
shoot for the record.
Copy !req
198. That's odd.
Copy !req
199. Very odd.
Copy !req
200. I've been here ten years
Copy !req
201. and that's the first time
I've seen him look frightened.
Copy !req
202. Let's keep it
quiet out here.
Copy !req
203. I was just...
Copy !req
204. with your permission,
mr. Flemington,
Copy !req
205. new shoes.
Copy !req
206. What have you
got in them,
Copy !req
207. pipe organs?
Copy !req
208. This ship has
got to shape up.
Copy !req
209. Repeat- shape up.
Copy !req
210. Noise is
not efficiency.
Copy !req
211. Let's secure now.
Copy !req
212. And watch this noise.
Copy !req
213. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
214. Unless I'm very much mistaken,
Copy !req
215. it is one of those very odd
phenomena, aural suggestion.
Copy !req
216. A person talks himself
into believing occurrences
Copy !req
217. when they are
figments of imagination.
Copy !req
218. Beyond that, there is
definitely some suggestion
Copy !req
219. that you are
resentful of your mother.
Copy !req
220. And have a preoccupation
with her imaginary ailments.
Copy !req
221. My guess for the moment
Copy !req
222. would be that this feeling
extended itself to your wife
Copy !req
223. who provided you with
a similar mother image.
Copy !req
224. But I can tell you this,
mr. Flemington,
Copy !req
225. and forgive me
if I repeat myself:
Copy !req
226. These occurrences are pure
figments of imagination.
Copy !req
227. I believe
that, doctor.
Copy !req
228. Now, snap your fingers.
Copy !req
229. Well, do you
think I, uh...
Copy !req
230. go ahead,
snap your fingers.
Copy !req
231. Any abnormal sound?
Copy !req
232. Normal!
Copy !req
233. Stamp your feet.
Copy !req
234. Normal again?
Copy !req
235. Happily, delightfully,
comfortingly normal.
Copy !req
236. You've cured
me, doctor.
Copy !req
237. By the good lord harry,
Copy !req
238. if admiral nelson had
had you at trafalgar,
Copy !req
239. he'd have saved
both his eye and his arm.
Copy !req
240. In naval parlance,
sir, you're 4.0.
Copy !req
241. 4.0, sir, in a
manner of speaking.
Copy !req
242. That's all right,
mr. Flemington.
Copy !req
243. Slam it at will,
be my guest.
Copy !req
244. You, sir, have
the soul of a seaman.
Copy !req
245. Bless you.
Copy !req
246. Incredible.
Copy !req
247. Absolutely incredible.
Copy !req
248. Mind over matter.
Copy !req
249. My wife obviously the culprit
Copy !req
250. a miserable preoccupation
with noise
Copy !req
251. literally planted
the seed in my head.
Copy !req
252. Incredible what
one crew member can do
Copy !req
253. to a whole ship's company.
Copy !req
254. And the whole business,
mind over matter.
Copy !req
255. Madam, you
are not welcome
Copy !req
256. on this particular
quarter deck.
Copy !req
257. Nor shall I
stay here, admiral.
Copy !req
258. I forgot some
of my jewelry.
Copy !req
259. I will retrieve same
Copy !req
260. and then, whether you
pipe me ashore or not,
Copy !req
261. that's precisely
where I'll be heading.
Copy !req
262. And might I add this, madam...
Copy !req
263. despite your efforts
to capsize this worthy vessel,
Copy !req
264. in a manner of speaking,
Copy !req
265. against the rocks and
hidden shoals of petulance
Copy !req
266. and petty dissatisfaction,
the ship remains tight
Copy !req
267. and all your efforts,
worthless and wasteful.
Copy !req
268. Horatio, old pal,
Copy !req
269. let the following
be my final comments:
Copy !req
270. You are an overgrown sailor boy
Copy !req
271. with an undermanned head.
Copy !req
272. You are so full
of incredible neuroses
Copy !req
273. that I wonder that you
haven't cracked before this.
Copy !req
274. Belay that, madam, belay that.
Copy !req
275. It just so happens I have had
a psychiatric examination,
Copy !req
276. and if there is one thing
wrong with me, it is you.
Copy !req
277. It is simply you.
Copy !req
278. And furthermore, madam,
Copy !req
279. I can tell you
one other thing:
Copy !req
280. The whole business
is mind over matter.
Copy !req
281. Totally and absolutely
mind over matter.
Copy !req
282. Do you know what
I can do to you?
Copy !req
283. I can shut you off.
Copy !req
284. Do you realize that?
Copy !req
285. I can literally shut you off
Copy !req
286. because I am a man
of such incredible will
Copy !req
287. that I can do
anything I want to do.
Copy !req
288. Now, go ahead.
Copy !req
289. Yell at me.
Copy !req
290. Go on, yell at me.
Copy !req
291. Because even now,
at this moment
Copy !req
292. I am in the process of
exercising mind over matter.
Copy !req
293. I am shutting you...
Copy !req
294. out.
Copy !req
295. Flemington, I really
do wonder about you.
Copy !req
296. I wonder why no
one has committed you.
Copy !req
297. I really-
Copy !req
298. see! See!
Copy !req
299. I have shut you out.
Copy !req
300. Go on,
talk some more.
Copy !req
301. Really, roswell,
you do need help.
Copy !req
302. You really do need help.
Copy !req
303. Incredible... mind over matter.
Copy !req
304. I want to shut her out,
I simply shut her out.
Copy !req
305. Now, then.
Copy !req
306. What shall we listen to tonight?
Copy !req
307. "Anchors aweigh"?
Copy !req
308. "Midshipmans' march"?
Copy !req
309. Let's see.
Copy !req
310. "Actual sounds
of japanese destroyer
Copy !req
311. "exploding in lada bay.
Copy !req
312. "Complete with boiler hissings,
Copy !req
313. fantail cracking
and smokestack exploding."
Copy !req
314. Great, great.
Copy !req
315. Better get ready out there.
Copy !req
316. This will
galvanize you properly.
Copy !req
317. Louder! Louder!
Copy !req
318. Make more noise.
Copy !req
319. Let's hear it.
Copy !req
320. Come on, let's hear it.
Copy !req
321. Louder!
Copy !req
322. When last heard from
Copy !req
323. mr. Roswell g. Flemington
was in a sanitarium
Copy !req
324. pleading with the medical staff
to make some noise.
Copy !req
325. They believed the case
to be a rather tragic aberration
Copy !req
326. a man's mind becoming unhinged.
Copy !req
327. And for this, they'll give him
pills, therapy and rest.
Copy !req
328. Little do they realize that all
mr. Flemington is suffering from
Copy !req
329. is a case of poetic justice.
Copy !req
330. Tonight's tale
of sounds and silences
Copy !req
331. from the twilight zone.
Copy !req
332. And now, mr. Serling.
Copy !req
333. Next time out on
the twilight zone
Copy !req
334. we move in to a very dark corner
of the odd and the unpredictable
Copy !req
335. with a story called
"caesar and me."
Copy !req
336. It's written
by adele t. Strassfield,
Copy !req
337. and it stars one of
the most talented young men
Copy !req
338. on the acting scene today,
jackie cooper.
Copy !req
339. Here's one that may stay with
you after the lights are out.
Copy !req
340. It's a story of a ventriloquist
and his dummy,
Copy !req
341. and this one is designed
for the cold chills
Copy !req
342. and the hot fevers.
Copy !req
