1
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:18,320
How do you do?

2
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,360
You gentlemen, of course, know how to
push a product. That essentially is your

3
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:23,360
job.

4
00:00:23,420 --> 00:00:27,120
My presence here is for much the same
purpose, simply to push a product.

5
00:00:27,660 --> 00:00:31,460
To acquaint you with an entertainment
product which we hope and which we

6
00:00:31,460 --> 00:00:34,260
expect will make your product pushing
that much easier.

7
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,800
What you're about to see, gentlemen, is
a series called The Twilight Zone.

8
00:00:39,540 --> 00:00:41,800
We think it's a rather special kind of
series.

9
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,660
Essentially, people watch television to
get entertained.

10
00:00:45,390 --> 00:00:48,750
And the keynote of this series, the
thing we're concerned with, the thing

11
00:00:48,750 --> 00:00:52,070
aiming for, the thing we're working
toward, is entertainment.

12
00:00:52,910 --> 00:00:57,250
This is a series for the storyteller,
because it's our thinking that an

13
00:00:57,250 --> 00:01:00,730
will always sit still and listen and
watch a well -told story.

14
00:01:01,190 --> 00:01:05,250
And now that I've immodestly gone on
record predicting the high quality of

15
00:01:05,250 --> 00:01:09,930
series, let me very briefly show you
what we mean by a special kind of

16
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,100
You know, writers in general are
notoriously bad verbal tellers of

17
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:16,780
do much, much better behind a
typewriter.

18
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,200
So I hope you'll bear with me while I
tell you about a few stories that happen

19
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,900
to be the first ones we're shooting in
our current production cycle.

20
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,280
This is sand.

21
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,400
It represents desert.

22
00:01:34,340 --> 00:01:39,460
The desert that you'll see on your
screen in a story we call The Lonely.

23
00:01:39,930 --> 00:01:44,530
The Lonely is about a man sentenced to a
lifetime of solitary confinement.

24
00:01:45,230 --> 00:01:49,430
The confinement takes place on a sandy
asteroid far out in space.

25
00:01:49,770 --> 00:01:53,870
It's the story about a man slowly
succumbing to a kind of nightmarish

26
00:01:53,870 --> 00:01:59,410
loneliness, a gradual disintegration of
mind and body because human beings have

27
00:01:59,410 --> 00:02:01,570
that palpable need for companionship.

28
00:02:01,890 --> 00:02:06,710
A most benevolent and compassionate
official sends the prisoner a long

29
00:02:06,710 --> 00:02:08,330
rectangular box containing

30
00:02:09,980 --> 00:02:11,320
Well, a machine.

31
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,780
A machine inside of a robot built in the
form of a woman.

32
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,160
It's a robot that talks and acts like a
human being.

33
00:02:19,460 --> 00:02:21,520
A robot that thinks like a human being.

34
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:27,340
Gentlemen, I can only tell you that the
Lonely, which involves a man and a woman

35
00:02:27,340 --> 00:02:32,040
made out of plastic and wires with a
machine for a heart, will provide a most

36
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:37,060
bizarre experience as to the
physiological extensions of their

37
00:02:37,100 --> 00:02:41,580
that is, man and female machine, and
what they do in their spare time.

38
00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:43,600
We're leaving this wide open.

39
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:50,860
Object in point here, a file cabinet
containing a contract.

40
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,860
All very legal and proper, except the
party of the first part in this case,

41
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,140
well, what do we call him? He has a lot
of names.

42
00:02:58,980 --> 00:03:00,400
Beelzebub, Mr. Scratch.

43
00:03:02,460 --> 00:03:03,460
No.

44
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,620
Well, that happens to be the party of
the first part.

45
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:12,500
in a somewhat charred contract, only in
our story, which we call Escape Clause.

46
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:14,520
His name is simply Mr.

47
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,480
Cadwallader. As portrayed, he has all
the charm of a well -tipped waiter.

48
00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:22,540
He makes a deal with a little man who
has a psychotic fear of dying.

49
00:03:23,020 --> 00:03:24,580
It's really a simple contract.

50
00:03:25,260 --> 00:03:29,420
Mr. Cadwallader supplies the
immortality, and the little man supplies

51
00:03:30,140 --> 00:03:34,180
And then our little man proceeds to live
it up, or down, depending on the moral

52
00:03:34,180 --> 00:03:38,460
view. But he gets bored with
immortality, and he then proceeds to

53
00:03:38,460 --> 00:03:40,460
out -of -the -ordinary kind of a life.

54
00:03:40,860 --> 00:03:43,840
A life best described as simply violent.

55
00:04:00,380 --> 00:04:04,470
He was so bored with... constantly being
the only survivor.

56
00:04:05,670 --> 00:04:11,310
So he now turns to homicide, happily
aware that while a jury may convict him,

57
00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:15,390
there isn't a single legal modus
operandi that the state can use to put

58
00:04:15,390 --> 00:04:17,769
away. A gas chamber? Impossible.

59
00:04:18,190 --> 00:04:21,670
They can't kill him. Hanging,
electrocution, none of these things are

60
00:04:21,670 --> 00:04:22,790
on our little friend.

61
00:04:23,030 --> 00:04:24,030
He's immortal.

62
00:04:24,310 --> 00:04:27,650
But what happens, and we'd be most
appreciative if you wouldn't tell this

63
00:04:27,650 --> 00:04:30,770
your friends, is that a very good lawyer
pleads his case.

64
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,880
And gets him life imprisonment.

65
00:04:35,860 --> 00:04:36,860
Poor little guy.

66
00:04:37,060 --> 00:04:38,380
Yeah, he has immortality.

67
00:04:38,780 --> 00:04:39,880
He can live forever.

68
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,820
Right here, behind these things.

69
00:04:43,460 --> 00:04:45,280
We'll hold up on telling you the ending.

70
00:04:45,780 --> 00:04:48,020
Just think about it. It'll come to you.

71
00:04:51,100 --> 00:04:55,700
A parenthetic note here. On the Twilight
Zone, there'll be a variety of stories.

72
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,740
And this is a variety that covers not
only story type, but time, locale, the

73
00:05:00,740 --> 00:05:01,740
nature of the people.

74
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,720
For example, this is a western called
Death, Destry, and Mr. Dingle.

75
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,140
And this is the principal character in
the story.

76
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,900
It's a Colt .45.

77
00:05:12,780 --> 00:05:16,980
There's a schoolmaster named Dingle who
picks up this gun one day, finding it in

78
00:05:16,980 --> 00:05:17,919
the schoolyard.

79
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,460
Quite accidentally, it goes off on a
couple of occasions. First, it hits a

80
00:05:21,460 --> 00:05:23,560
rattlesnake between the eyes at 50
yards.

81
00:05:24,170 --> 00:05:26,170
Then he knocks the gun out of a
desperado's hand.

82
00:05:26,490 --> 00:05:30,190
And while it's all quite accidental, the
various onlookers make an assumption

83
00:05:30,190 --> 00:05:32,010
that Mr. Dingle's a pretty fast gun.

84
00:05:32,410 --> 00:05:36,750
And they start to build not only a
reputation for this spindly little dude,

85
00:05:36,750 --> 00:05:38,750
also almost a reverent tradition.

86
00:05:39,450 --> 00:05:43,650
And as in the classic Western mold,
every top gun in and out of the

87
00:05:43,650 --> 00:05:48,090
converge on the town, ready to invite
Mr. Dingle, poor little Mr. Dingle, who

88
00:05:48,090 --> 00:05:50,810
really doesn't know how to use a gun, to
a showdown.

89
00:05:52,010 --> 00:05:53,010
So...

90
00:05:53,800 --> 00:06:00,120
Mr. Dingle buys himself a little vial
full of liquid.

91
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,060
And it's simply out of this world.

92
00:06:02,380 --> 00:06:04,320
Because it comes with a money -back
guarantee.

93
00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:08,900
Simply that it will make him the fastest
gun in the West for 15 seconds.

94
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,280
It's this vial he carries into a saloon
one night, ready to meet at gunpoint a

95
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:17,100
gentleman called Dirty Dan Destry. A
fast gun in his own right.

96
00:06:17,540 --> 00:06:20,760
So fast he makes Hugh O 'Brien look like
Charles Colburn.

97
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,040
But when the two men face one another
and Mr. Dingle drinks his liquid with

98
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,060
money -back guarantee, he suddenly sees
in the hand of his opponent a very

99
00:06:29,060 --> 00:06:31,640
familiar vial, identical with his own.

100
00:06:32,340 --> 00:06:35,820
I won't tell you the ending except that
it's reasonably happy, if unexpected.

101
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,940
I hope I haven't done these stories an
injustice because they'll be much better

102
00:06:39,940 --> 00:06:43,960
told by actors in front of a camera, as
you'll soon note in the picture you're

103
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:44,939
about to see.

104
00:06:44,940 --> 00:06:48,240
All I can tell you is that we think the
Twilight Zone is pretty unique.

105
00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:50,560
We think it'll be much talked about,

106
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:52,720
And we think it'll also be enjoyed.

107
00:06:53,580 --> 00:06:56,600
We think it's the kind of a show that
will put people on the edge of their

108
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,480
seats, but only for that one half an
hour. We fully expect they'll go to the

109
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,040
stores on the following day and buy your
products.

110
00:07:03,460 --> 00:07:04,940
We think it's that kind of a show.

111
00:07:05,660 --> 00:07:09,620
So now the ham walks off to allow the
real object and point to entertain you.

112
00:07:10,060 --> 00:07:11,740
The pilot show of your series.

113
00:07:12,420 --> 00:07:16,300
Earl Holloman, James Gregory, starring
in Where Is Everybody?

114
00:07:16,980 --> 00:07:20,380
So, gentlemen, please sit back and take
your first trip.

115
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,100
Into the Twilight Zone.

116
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:27,800
See what I mean?

117
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,060
And this is really nothing compared to
the way instant Sanka will be

118
00:07:33,060 --> 00:07:35,620
disappearing off grocery counters come
this fall.

119
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:44,600
There is a sixth dimension beyond that
which is known to man.

120
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,020
It is a dimension as vast as space.

121
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,180
and as timeless as infinity.

122
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:56,540
It is the middle ground between light
and shadow, and it lies between the pit

123
00:07:56,540 --> 00:07:59,100
man's fears and the sunlight of his
knowledge.

124
00:08:00,180 --> 00:08:02,280
This is the dimension of imagination.

125
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,980
It is an area that might be called the
Twilight Zone.

126
00:08:12,820 --> 00:08:14,640
The place is here.

127
00:08:14,940 --> 00:08:16,840
The time is now.

128
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:22,020
And the journey into the shadows that we
are about to watch could be our

129
00:08:22,020 --> 00:08:23,020
journey.

130
00:09:01,580 --> 00:09:03,280
Is this thing loud enough for you out
here?

131
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,080
I mean, can you hear it all right?

132
00:09:12,620 --> 00:09:14,420
It's not early for this kind of music,
is it?

133
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,260
Say, I noticed there's a town just up
the road. What's the name of it?

134
00:09:29,230 --> 00:09:31,490
Hey, I asked you a question in there.
What's the name of the town?

135
00:09:38,890 --> 00:09:40,410
Hey, got a customer out front.

136
00:09:46,150 --> 00:09:47,150
Customer.

137
00:09:53,070 --> 00:09:54,070
Hey,

138
00:09:55,350 --> 00:09:56,430
got a customer out front.

139
00:09:57,450 --> 00:09:58,450
Customer.

140
00:10:29,870 --> 00:10:32,390
Eggs over easy, hash browns.

141
00:10:34,110 --> 00:10:36,030
Hey, you got a customer out here.

142
00:10:38,330 --> 00:10:40,770
I'm an eggs, eggs over easy, hash
browns.

143
00:10:43,790 --> 00:10:45,430
Hungry cash customer.

144
00:10:46,530 --> 00:10:49,770
I got $2 .85, American money.

145
00:10:52,090 --> 00:10:53,530
Pure American money.

146
00:10:56,570 --> 00:10:59,190
Well... We got that much settled. I'm an
American.

147
00:11:00,790 --> 00:11:02,710
You see, there's some question about my
identity.

148
00:11:04,450 --> 00:11:06,650
Let me put it to you this way. I'm not
sure who I am.

149
00:11:07,710 --> 00:11:10,950
But I got $2 .85 and I'm hungry. That
much is established.

150
00:11:13,850 --> 00:11:15,990
$2 .85 and I'm hungry.

151
00:11:19,870 --> 00:11:22,550
I'm going to wake up in a minute. I know
it. I'm going to wake up.

152
00:11:25,930 --> 00:11:27,990
I wish there'd be a little noise or
something to wake me up.

153
00:11:30,470 --> 00:11:31,990
A little noise, please!

154
00:11:36,830 --> 00:11:43,730
If a body greet a body coming through
the rye, if a body meet a body,

155
00:11:43,790 --> 00:11:47,730
meet a body cry, every laddy had...

156
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,360
Anybody here?

157
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,560
Hey! Hey!

158
00:13:31,780 --> 00:13:32,780
Hey, miss?

159
00:13:33,940 --> 00:13:34,940
Miss, over here!

160
00:13:37,100 --> 00:13:38,540
Look, I wonder if you could do me a
favor.

161
00:13:39,780 --> 00:13:42,660
It's the craziest thing, but I've looked
and I haven't seen anybody around.

162
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,700
Maybe they're all asleep or something,
but... Well, literally, there hasn't

163
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:47,700
a soul.

164
00:13:49,740 --> 00:13:52,480
Look, I don't want you to think I'm nuts
or anything. It's nothing like that.

165
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,980
It's just that... Well, it's just that I
don't seem to remember who I am.

166
00:13:57,980 --> 00:14:03,500
Well, it's a real oddball thing, but
when I woke up this morning, I... Well,

167
00:14:03,500 --> 00:14:08,000
didn't exactly wake up. I just... I just
found myself out on that road, walking.

168
00:14:11,540 --> 00:14:13,100
Amnesia. Isn't that what they call it?

169
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,100
Well, that must be what I got, because I
just don't remember a thing, and I

170
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:17,480
can't seem to find anybody to ask.

171
00:14:18,770 --> 00:14:20,110
You're the first person I've seen.

172
00:14:20,950 --> 00:14:23,530
Look, I really don't want you to be
frightened or anything, but I was

173
00:14:23,530 --> 00:14:24,630
if there's a doctor or something.

174
00:14:40,110 --> 00:14:43,710
I'm terribly sorry, madam. I can assure
you that in no time did I mean to be so

175
00:14:43,710 --> 00:14:44,710
upsetting.

176
00:14:46,350 --> 00:14:47,710
As a matter of fact...

177
00:14:48,540 --> 00:14:51,060
I've always had kind of a secret den for
the quiet type.

178
00:14:52,780 --> 00:14:53,780
You know what I mean, babe?

179
00:15:10,580 --> 00:15:11,580
Hey!

180
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:13,100
Anybody here?

181
00:16:04,490 --> 00:16:06,070
You haven't got the ignition key, have
you, doll?

182
00:16:22,490 --> 00:16:23,490
Hello?

183
00:16:23,930 --> 00:16:24,930
Hello?

184
00:16:25,290 --> 00:16:27,750
Hello? Operator? Hello, operator?

185
00:16:28,450 --> 00:16:29,450
Hello?

186
00:16:29,730 --> 00:16:30,730
Operator?

187
00:16:31,290 --> 00:16:32,290
Operator!

188
00:16:47,239 --> 00:16:48,219
Operator, look.

189
00:16:48,220 --> 00:16:49,940
I just wonder if anybody down there
could tell me.

190
00:16:52,580 --> 00:16:53,580
Operator.

191
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:54,900
Operator, will you listen to me, please?

192
00:16:55,180 --> 00:16:56,520
This is the special operator.

193
00:16:57,300 --> 00:16:59,680
The number you have reached is not a
working number.

194
00:17:01,020 --> 00:17:03,380
Are you out of your heads down there? I
didn't dial on them. I dialed the

195
00:17:03,380 --> 00:17:04,380
operator.

196
00:17:04,940 --> 00:17:05,940
This is a recording.

197
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:09,079
Operator.

198
00:17:09,579 --> 00:17:10,259
Operator, look.

199
00:17:10,260 --> 00:17:11,540
All I want to know is where I am.

200
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,319
Look, please, can you...

201
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:31,820
Evil Adams, I don't know.

202
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,020
Look, boys, where are you? What do you
boys live with in this book?

203
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:39,860
Baker, Bargman, Blatt, Bellman.

204
00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:43,680
A gang who's watching the store.

205
00:17:48,900 --> 00:17:50,380
Who's watching any of the stores.

206
00:18:18,220 --> 00:18:20,040
All right, who's the wise guy who locked
the door?

207
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,200
The great gag.

208
00:18:26,820 --> 00:18:29,460
How about I hand somebody a little
assistance? How about it?

209
00:18:32,220 --> 00:18:35,700
This is an absolutely hysterical town,
and I'm growing very fond of it.

210
00:18:37,460 --> 00:18:38,700
This isn't funny anymore.

211
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:42,400
I don't like this jet.

212
00:19:18,860 --> 00:19:21,740
I wish I could shake that crazy feeling
of being watched.

213
00:19:25,020 --> 00:19:26,020
Listen to it.

214
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,920
Calling all cars, calling all cars.

215
00:19:39,140 --> 00:19:42,900
Unknown man walking around police
station. Suspicious looking character.

216
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:44,820
Probably wanted for the...
