364
00:19:45,317 --> 00:19:48,521
Why aren't any of my
pictures in the photo albums?
365
00:19:48,654 --> 00:19:50,723
There are no pictures of me here at all.
366
00:19:50,856 --> 00:19:53,259
Jana, dear, there are
many pictures of you.
367
00:19:53,392 --> 00:19:55,261
Here's a picture of you at Easter.
368
00:19:55,394 --> 00:19:57,063
Why, there are pictures of you
369
00:19:57,196 --> 00:19:59,398
decorating the Christmas tree last year.
370
00:19:59,532 --> 00:20:01,400
Not as a little girl, Mother.
371
00:20:01,534 --> 00:20:03,734
There are no pictures
of me as a little girl.
372
00:20:03,836 --> 00:20:06,305
Pictures of you and
Father and the robots.
373
00:20:06,439 --> 00:20:07,940
Always pictures of the robots.
374
00:20:08,074 --> 00:20:09,442
Ten years ago, 20 years ago.
375
00:20:09,575 --> 00:20:11,410
But no pictures of me. Why?
376
00:20:11,544 --> 00:20:15,748
I want you to tell me why.
377
00:20:15,881 --> 00:20:20,052
Why?
378
00:20:20,186 --> 00:20:22,755
It's not true.
379
00:20:22,888 --> 00:20:27,093
Oh, it couldn't be true.
380
00:20:29,795 --> 00:20:32,098
Please tell me it's not true.

00:20:32,231 --> 00:20:33,699
Jana.
382
00:20:33,833 --> 00:20:36,702
You are our daughter. You
know you're our daughter.
383
00:20:36,836 --> 00:20:39,772
And you remember
everything from your childhood.
384
00:20:39,905 --> 00:20:41,755
You remember the schools you went to,
385
00:20:41,841 --> 00:20:43,291
the children you played with,
386
00:20:43,409 --> 00:20:45,745
and you remember all
the places you went to.
387
00:20:45,878 --> 00:20:48,481
You do remember them, Jana?
388
00:20:48,614 --> 00:20:49,949
You've got to.
389
00:20:50,082 --> 00:20:53,252
Why have I got to remember them?
390
00:20:53,385 --> 00:20:56,055
Because you fed them to me?
391
00:20:56,188 --> 00:21:02,561
A memory track.
392
00:21:02,695 --> 00:21:05,731
What am I?
393
00:21:05,865 --> 00:21:09,368
Oh, please, tell me what I am.
394
00:21:09,502 --> 00:21:11,470
It doesn't make any difference.
395
00:21:11,604 --> 00:21:14,373
It doesn't make any
difference at all, Jana.
396
00:21:14,507 --> 00:21:15,741
We were childless.
397
00:21:15,875 --> 00:21:19,011
We had nothing of our
flesh to leave behind.
398
00:21:19,145 --> 00:21:22,214
Nothing of our hearts,
nothing of our love.
399
00:21:22,348 --> 00:21:26,118
So, you see, we got you.
400
00:21:26,252 --> 00:21:27,953
You made me.
401
00:21:28,087 --> 00:21:30,923
You built me.
402
00:21:31,056 --> 00:21:35,127
You manufactured me.
403
00:21:35,261 --> 00:21:38,964
Of course, the maid was built as a maid,
404
00:21:39,098 --> 00:21:41,700
the butler manufactured as a butler,
405
00:21:41,834 --> 00:21:45,538
and the cook and the handyman,
all for a particular purpose.
406
00:21:45,671 --> 00:21:48,741
And the daughter.
407
00:21:48,874 --> 00:21:51,143
You built a daughter!
408
00:21:51,277 --> 00:21:54,213
Jana, I created you as a thing of love.
409
00:21:54,346 --> 00:21:56,448
DR. LOREN: It doesn't matter what you are
410
00:21:56,582 --> 00:21:57,583
or how you got here.
411
00:21:57,716 --> 00:21:59,185
You're our daughter.
412
00:21:59,318 --> 00:22:01,387
Jana, you've got to understand that.
413
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:02,721
You're our daughter.
414
00:22:02,855 --> 00:22:05,491
I can't be your daughter.
415
00:22:05,624 --> 00:22:06,859
I'm a thing.
416
00:22:06,992 --> 00:22:08,427
I'm a machine.
417
00:22:08,561 --> 00:22:09,895

No pain.
424
00:22:25,511 --> 00:22:27,580
No love.
425
00:22:27,713 --> 00:22:31,817
I can't even feel love.

MRS. LOREN: William, you wouldn't.

No, I couldn't do anything like that.
434
00:23:03,082 --> 00:23:07,720
I couldn't stand not
having her here anymore.

NARRATOR: Let this be the
postscript. Should you be worn out
444
00:23:48,060 --> 00:23:50,829
by the rigors of competing
in a very competitive world,
445
00:23:50,963 --> 00:23:53,832
if you're distraught from
having to share your existence
446
00:23:53,966 --> 00:23:56,368
with the noises and
neuroses of the 20th century,
447
00:23:56,502 --> 00:23:57,970
if you crave serenity
448
00:23:58,103 --> 00:24:00,806
but want it full-time and
with no strings attached,
449
00:24:00,940 --> 00:24:03,042
get yourself a workroom in the basement,
450
00:24:03,175 --> 00:24:05,627
and then drop a note to
Dr. and Mrs. William Loren.
451
00:24:05,711 --> 00:24:08,847
They're a childless couple
who've made comfort a life's work,
452
00:24:08,981 --> 00:24:11,617
and maybe there are a
few do-it-yourself pamphlets

PRESENTER: Rod Serling,
creator of The Twilight Zone,
455
00:24:19,158 --> 00:24:21,160
will tell you about next week's story
456
00:24:21,293 --> 00:24:24,496
after this word from
our alternate sponsor.
457
00:24:24,630 --> 00:24:26,498
And now, Mr. Serling.
458
00:24:26,632 --> 00:24:29,368
An attractive and rather imposing room
459
00:24:29,501 --> 00:24:31,201
lived in by a man named Templeton.
460
00:24:31,303 --> 00:24:33,439
And, like most rooms, suggestive, really,
461
00:24:33,572 --> 00:24:35,690
of only a part of the
man. The outside part.
462
00:24:35,774 --> 00:24:37,774
Our story next week takes off from here.
463
00:24:37,876 --> 00:24:40,479
Mr. Brian Aherne lends
us his considerable talents
464
00:24:40,612 --> 00:24:42,062
in a script by E. Jack Neuman
465
00:24:42,181 --> 00:24:44,049
called "The Trouble with Templeton."
466
00:24:44,183 --> 00:24:46,752
It can best be described
as poignant, provocative,
467
00:24:46,885 --> 00:24:49,989
and a highly-diverting
trip into the Twilight Zone.
