Why not? 31 00:03:10,065 --> 00:03:15,237 I'm the perfect confidant. I don't speak to more than two people in a day. 32 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,031 Your specialist doctor wouldn't even let me have a telephone by the bed... 33 00:03:18,073 --> 00:03:20,534 so I could call my broker once in a while. 34 00:03:20,575 --> 00:03:26,123 So give me a little gossip. It's like telling a secret to a cat. 35 00:03:26,164 --> 00:03:27,749 What's your lover like? 36 00:03:27,791 --> 00:03:31,128 Mr. B., a prospective husband is one thing, 37 00:03:31,169 --> 00:03:33,171 but a lover is something else. 38 00:03:33,296 --> 00:03:35,799 I can't imagine what you must think of me. 39 00:03:35,841 --> 00:03:37,718 I think you're a nice girl. 40 00:03:37,759 --> 00:03:41,596 But nice girls today are a little different than nice girls 50 years ago. 41 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,517 After all, you're only a few years younger than my wife, 42 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:50,731 and I know that men like to look at her, so I know they like to look at you too. 43 00:03:50,772 --> 00:03:55,777 Only today, it don't stop with the looks. Oh, but your wife is beautiful, 44 00:03:55,861 --> 00:03:59,614 Really. She's one of the most stunning women I've ever seen. 45 00:03:59,698 --> 00:04:02,325 Good for her. A lot of pleasure I get out of it. 46 00:04:02,409 --> 00:04:06,538 So tell me about your lover. 47 00:04:06,621 --> 00:04:11,626 Well, it's really not definite yet. I mean, we haven't set the date or anything. 48 00:04:11,710 --> 00:04:14,045 Yes, you have, but you won't tell me because you're 49 00:04:14,087 --> 00:04:16,381 afraid I'll fire you before you're ready to leave. 50 00:04:16,465 --> 00:04:18,925 Oh, no! No, really, Mr. B... 51 00:04:19,009 --> 00:04:24,306 So you haven't picked a day of the week, but the month you've decided. 52 00:04:24,389 --> 00:04:29,144 Right? Right. Believe me when I tell you I understand these things. 53 00:04:29,227 --> 00:04:31,188 So what month? 54 00:04:31,229 --> 00:04:35,734 I'm guessing you decided on June, but you're settling for July. 55 00:04:35,776 --> 00:04:38,445 How did you ever... How did you know that? 56 00:04:38,487 --> 00:04:40,739 Maybe around the middle of July, 57 00:04:40,822 --> 00:04:44,785 when a certain muscular chauffeur's getting his vacation. 58 00:04:44,826 --> 00:04:48,538 - Now, how did you ever? - I got eyes. I watch. 59 00:04:48,622 --> 00:04:53,877 I think. I add things up. What else I got to do with my time? 60 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,256 He's, uh, gentler than he looks, your fiancé? 61 00:04:58,340 --> 00:05:00,926 Oh... Oh, he's wonderful. Really, he is. 62 00:05:01,009 --> 00:05:03,011 You can't tell because you don't know him, 63 00:05:03,094 --> 00:05:07,516 but if you ever just spent time with him and sat and talked to him... 64 00:05:07,557 --> 00:05:10,560 I'm looking forward to it. I'd like to exchange views 65 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,480 on car waxing with him. I'm very concerned about it. 66 00:05:13,522 --> 00:05:16,650 Oh, really, Vic is very intelligent. 67 00:05:16,733 --> 00:05:20,028 I don't doubt it. Make sure he's got a few other virtues too. 68 00:05:20,111 --> 00:05:22,906 A bad marriage is the biggest mistake in life. 69 00:05:22,989 --> 00:05:25,909 You've got to know what kind of package you're 70 00:05:25,951 --> 00:05:28,745 getting. Just don't settle for the wrapping. 71 00:05:30,121 --> 00:05:32,624 Go away. 72 00:05:32,666 --> 00:05:35,210 Good morning, all. 73 00:05:41,174 --> 00:05:43,760 How's our patient this morning? Terrible. 74 00:05:43,844 --> 00:05:46,263 - Sleep well? - No. 75 00:05:46,304 --> 00:05:48,974 Isn't he horrid? I don't know why you put up with him. 76 00:05:49,015 --> 00:05:51,685 For the money... just like you. 77 00:05:51,726 --> 00:05:54,688 Has he had his blue pill yet? Yes. 78 00:05:54,729 --> 00:05:57,899 No. I was just going to get some water. 79 00:05:57,983 --> 00:06:01,111 This is fine. He only takes a swallow. 80 00:06:02,654 --> 00:06:04,072 Open wide now. 81 00:06:04,114 --> 00:06:08,368 I can still hold a pill and a glass of stale water. 82 00:06:11,329 --> 00:06:13,999 You don't even look like a nurse. Where are you 83 00:06:13,999 --> 00:06:16,376 going, all dressed up like a college girl? 84 00:06:18,003 --> 00:06:21,923 Just into town to do a little shopping. Oh, Vic has your car all ready. 85 00:06:22,007 --> 00:06:24,217 He polished it this morning, and it looks just like new. 86 00:06:24,301 --> 00:06:25,468 I'm sure it does, dear. 87 00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:27,971 If it's not shiny enough, buy another one. 88 00:06:28,013 --> 00:06:32,267 You know, I was thinking of doing just that, 89 00:06:32,350 --> 00:06:36,104 but I thought I'd wait until you're up and around again. 90 00:06:36,187 --> 00:06:40,358 Then we'll get one of those little sports cars and take long drives together. 91 00:06:40,442 --> 00:06:44,487 I can't wait. But if you're in a hurry, start without me. 92 00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:56,124 You don't even deserve that much of a kiss today. 93 00:06:56,207 --> 00:07:00,337 If he stays this grouchy, don't even talk to him. It'll serve him right. 94 00:07:00,378 --> 00:07:04,466 I'll be back early. I'll be here. 95 00:07:08,386 --> 00:07:11,973 Lock the door in case she forgot something. 96 00:07:12,057 --> 00:07:15,810 Mr. B., you know you're terribly in love with your wife. 97 00:07:15,894 --> 00:07:20,106 Who wouldn't be? I wish I could wear slacks like that. 98 00:07:20,148 --> 00:07:23,151 Do your husband a favor... Wear them before you get married. 99 00:07:23,193 --> 00:07:27,405 Oh, Vic wouldn't mind. He hasn't got a jealous bone in his body. 100 00:07:27,489 --> 00:07:30,241 He likes it when other men look at me. And how 101 00:07:30,283 --> 00:07:32,994 do you feel about him looking at other women? 102 00:07:33,036 --> 00:07:38,166 Oh, I don't mind. I mean, after all, it's only natural, isn't it? 103 00:07:38,249 --> 00:07:42,170 I don't know how we ever got started talking about this again. 104 00:07:42,212 --> 00:07:44,714 You know, you're really terrible, Mr. B, 105 00:07:44,798 --> 00:07:49,177 Let an old man have a little pleasure by talking. What else can I do? 106 00:07:49,260 --> 00:07:53,223 So Vic has got a lot of experience with women, huh? 107 00:07:53,306 --> 00:07:58,520 It's not even his doing either. I mean, we were at a bar a few weeks ago, 108 00:07:58,603 --> 00:08:02,774 and this woman... She was drunk, but still... 109 00:08:02,816 --> 00:08:04,776 She just came right over, sat down on Vic's lap 110 00:08:04,818 --> 00:08:06,861 and started running her fingers through his hair. 111 00:08:06,903 --> 00:08:09,781 - So what did Vic do? - Well, nothing. 112 00:08:09,864 --> 00:08:14,035 I mean, what could he do? He just laughed and pretended it was a joke. 113 00:08:14,119 --> 00:08:17,372 It was lucky for the woman that her date pulled her away. 114 00:08:17,455 --> 00:08:21,459 Or else she would've ended up like Betty, huh? 115 00:08:22,627 --> 00:08:26,589 Oh, I didn't know you knew about that. 116 00:08:26,673 --> 00:08:29,676 I'm really sorry about it, 117 00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:33,722 but I was just going to the kitchen to get my lunch, and she had her arms around Vic. 118 00:08:33,805 --> 00:08:37,517 - And I guess I saw red. - So heard. 119 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,769 I didn't see it, but from what I understand, 120 00:08:39,769 --> 00:08:42,897 she didn't look so pretty anymore, huh? 121 00:08:43,106 --> 00:08:47,569 Oh, I'm really sorry about it. If there'd been a knife around or something, 122 00:08:47,652 --> 00:08:49,571 I don't know what I would've done. 123 00:08:49,654 --> 00:08:53,950 I don't usually have a temper except when it comes to Vic. 124 00:08:54,034 --> 00:08:56,786 Your jealousy is very understandable. 125 00:08:56,870 --> 00:09:00,707 You have to fight to hang on to what you have. 126 00:09:00,749 --> 00:09:04,586 You don't think Vic loves me less because of it, do you? 127 00:09:04,627 --> 00:09:09,466 He probably loves you more. Men are like that. 128 00:09:09,507 --> 00:09:12,218 Well, I'm tired. 129 00:09:12,260 --> 00:09:16,097 - I think I'll try and sleep for a while. - That's a good idea. 130 00:09:16,181 --> 00:09:20,727 I brought a new book to read. It's really terrific. It's all about this Frenchwoman... 131 00:09:20,810 --> 00:09:23,354 who makes a fool of a lot of kings. 132 00:09:23,438 --> 00:09:25,648 Sounds very good. 133 00:09:25,732 --> 00:09:29,527 Listen. Before you start, you do me a little favor? 134 00:09:29,611 --> 00:09:32,614 I would do it myself, but... 135 00:09:34,657 --> 00:09:39,037 Now, please, don't be frightened. 136 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,707 Uh, I keep it in case of burglars, 137 00:09:42,791 --> 00:09:46,920 but it's been so long since it's been cleaned, I'm not sure if it works. 138 00:09:46,961 --> 00:09:52,133 So give it to Vic. Ask him to look it over. Oh, sure. 139 00:09:52,217 --> 00:09:57,430 Hey, it's light. I always thought guns weighed about 20 pounds. 140 00:09:57,472 --> 00:10:01,851 It's a woman's gun... for women and old men. Uh, be careful. It's loaded. 141 00:10:01,935 --> 00:10:04,646 Oh. I would take the bullets out for you, 142 00:10:04,687 --> 00:10:08,817 but I'm afraid I don't know how these things work. 143 00:10:08,900 --> 00:10:12,487 I'll be careful. Now, you just try and get some sleep in the meantime. 144 00:10:12,570 --> 00:10:17,033 I will. And you take your time with your fiancé. 145 00:10:17,117 --> 00:10:20,036 I think I saw him go up to his room a minute ago. 146 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,916 Oh, I bet he's catching a nap. Sometimes he's so lazy. 147 00:10:24,999 --> 00:10:29,295 Why don't you sneak up on him and surprise him? 148 00:10:29,337 --> 00:10:32,215 I bet you he would like that. Oh, well, if he 149 00:10:32,257 --> 00:10:35,093 doesn't, I'll just tell him it was your idea. 150 00:10:35,135 --> 00:10:38,471 Yes. Tell him that. Okay. 151 00:10:47,272 --> 00:10:50,900 Good morning, sir.

Have they found any survivors? 565 00:44:53,065 --> 00:44:57,236 Negative. Just let me back up and summarize how it all began. 566 00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,865 Then I'll entertain questions. Now, on Monday of last week, 567 00:45:00,948 --> 00:45:03,743 we landed two spacecraft in tandem on the moon. 568 00:45:03,784 --> 00:45:06,537 The purpose was to set up a base camp of operations. 569 00:45:06,579 --> 00:45:09,415 As of the point of their actual descent onto the surface, 570 00:45:09,457 --> 00:45:12,168 we were able to maintain only sporadic communications. 571 00:45:12,210 --> 00:45:17,882 We do know this much: One ship apparently crashed on impact, and the other... 572 00:45:17,924 --> 00:45:21,344 Well, the other one we can't find. On the surface of the moon? 573 00:45:21,385 --> 00:45:23,429 Gentlemen, I've given you all we have. 574 00:45:23,471 --> 00:45:25,431 I won't guarantee that this sounds rational... 575 00:45:26,098 --> 00:45:29,060 or at the moment, it's explainable, but this is it. 576 00:45:29,101 --> 00:45:32,813 The rescue ship effected a landing on the lunar surface three hours ago. 577 00:45:32,897 --> 00:45:34,815 They were able to locate only the first wreckage. 578 00:45:34,899 --> 00:45:36,984 What about the "attack" story? Now, in the transmission 579 00:45:37,026 --> 00:45:38,903 from the first crew, you heard the word "attack." 580 00:45:38,903 --> 00:45:43,491 We thought we heard the word "attack." Transmission was garbled. 581 00:45:43,574 --> 00:45:46,953 We thought Commander Perkins said something about "We are under..." 582 00:45:47,036 --> 00:45:50,373 And the final word sounded like "attack." 583 00:45:50,414 --> 00:45:53,793 But we can't verify this, 50 this is where we stand at the moment. 584 00:45:53,834 --> 00:45:58,589 The mother ship is the one we found. That contained food, water and oxygen devices. 585 00:45:58,631 --> 00:46:00,591 What was on the other ship? 586 00:46:00,633 --> 00:46:02,677 Building supplies, construction equipment... everything 587 00:46:02,677 --> 00:46:04,303 that was to be used to set up the base camp. 588 00:46:04,303 --> 00:46:07,098 So if anybody did attack them, they wouldn't have had any weapons. 589 00:46:07,181 --> 00:46:09,308 Any theories as to who the enemy might be? 590 00:46:09,392 --> 00:46:12,186 Could there have been Russians there or Chinese? 591 00:46:12,270 --> 00:46:14,021 When do you take the wraps off this thing, anyway, and 592 00:46:14,021 --> 00:46:15,731 start responding with a couple of intelligent answers? 593 00:46:15,773 --> 00:46:19,360 The moment I get a couple of intelligent questions! 594 00:46:21,737 --> 00:46:26,826 Look, there'd be absolutely no reason for Russians or Chinese to attack us, 595 00:46:26,909 --> 00:46:29,287 even if they were up there, which they aren't. 596 00:46:29,370 --> 00:46:31,914 There is one thing we are certain of. It is the 597 00:46:31,914 --> 00:46:34,834 unanimous posture of the world scientific community... 598 00:46:34,875 --> 00:46:37,086 that there is no life whatsoever on the moon, 599 00:46:37,169 --> 00:46:41,007 except for certain microbes we may have left during previous landings. 600 00:46:41,090 --> 00:46:43,718 Now, this being so, it must be obvious to all of you... 601 00:46:43,759 --> 00:46:47,096 that we simply misread the word "attack." 602 00:46:47,179 --> 00:46:49,265 What is the status of rescue operations? 603 00:46:49,348 --> 00:46:52,184 We are trying to locate the victims, if there are any. 604 00:46:52,268 --> 00:46:54,186 That is the current status of rescue operations. 605 00:46:54,186 --> 00:46:55,479 I wonder if you'd comment... 606 00:46:55,521 --> 00:46:57,898 What is it? 607 00:47:03,446 --> 00:47:06,324 Wait a minute. 608 00:47:06,407 --> 00:47:11,162 How 'bout some information on this? What was that all about? 609 00:47:12,621 --> 00:47:15,499 Uh, we just found this here. 610 00:47:15,541 --> 00:47:20,254 It was obviously made with parts of the spaceship. 611 00:47:20,338 --> 00:47:23,591 Hold it, Steve. Zap up his volume and copy this. 612 00:47:25,176 --> 00:47:27,511 All right. Try again, Steve. 613 00:47:31,682 --> 00:47:35,102 Don't ask me what it is, Capcom. 614 00:47:35,186 --> 00:47:37,813 It's all we could find. 615 00:47:37,897 --> 00:47:43,527 Metal platform, 30 feet long and maybe 15 feet wide. 616 00:47:45,488 --> 00:47:48,407 Our base built it. There's no question about that. 617 00:47:48,491 --> 00:47:51,494 Built it for what? 618 00:47:52,536 --> 00:47:56,082 Repeat, Capcom. We got cut off. 619 00:47:56,165 --> 00:47:59,752 What did they build it for? What does it look like? 620 00:48:02,213 --> 00:48:05,424 Dear God, it can't be. 621 00:48:05,508 --> 00:48:08,677 It just can't be! 622 00:48:18,437 --> 00:48:21,690 This is what the rescue mission found, gentlemen: 623 00:48:21,732 --> 00:48:23,734 This platform. 624 00:48:23,776 --> 00:48:28,739 This is all they found. What's it supposed to be? 625 00:48:28,781 --> 00:48:33,661 That was my first question when I saw it. It was also my last question. 626 00:48:33,744 --> 00:48:36,914 We then lost communications with the rescue team. 627 00:48:36,997 --> 00:48:40,793 - We've heard nothing further from them. - Know what it looks like? 628 00:48:40,876 --> 00:48:45,089 I swear. It looks like a... 629 00:48:46,215 --> 00:48:48,342 A mousetrap. 630 00:49:10,781 --> 00:49:15,077 Transmission! I got a transmission on V.H.F.9! 631 00:49:24,837 --> 00:49:27,423 The enemy. 632 00:49:30,676 --> 00:49:33,429 That's the enemy.
