(thunder booms)

- Huh?

Lightning?

Storm?

Huh?

Tim.

(Tim moans)

- Just a minute, Brigitte.

(audience laughs)

(Tim moans)

- Tim.

Ay.

- I'm coming.

- Tim, Tim you must check
that barometer downstairs.

I can't always expect to wake
up when lightning flashes.

- Well, when the motor
was working I thought.

Maybe it fell or something.

You know that sometimes

can throw it off
of its readings.

- You know, as I've
explained to you before,

if I'm to stay here on earth
with you in this apartment,

I must have an
accurate barometer

available to me at all times.

(scary music and thunder booms)

- Get ready.

- All right.

Easy, easy do it,
easy, easy, easy.

What, no, no, no, no.

(Martin moans)

- There you are.

(audience laughs)

That'll hold you for a while.

- I hope so.

You remember what happened
last time, don't you?

- Oh, yeah.

With you popping in and out

like a duck at a
shooting gallery?

- Popsy we call it.

Being hit by lightning without
being properly grounded

is not funny to a martian, Tim.

- Yeah, I know and then
you start appearing

and disappearing with
no control whatsoever.

- There are many things
that can happen to me

in my jeopardy on earth

but the most distasteful of all,

is popsy, poping in and out,

never knowing if
you're coming or going.

- Which reminds me.

I was having a wonderful dream

about Brigitte Bardot
and the Beatles.

Now, maybe if I just
hurry on back to sleep.

(peaceful music)

(thunder booms)

- That Tim is really a good boy.

I guess I should be
more grateful to him.

After all, it isn't easy
to learn to wire a martian.

I mean, if he didn't
really put his mind to it,

it's so easy to make a mistake.

(audience laughs)

(beeping)

(spooky music)

(beeping)

(cheerful music)

- I did not make a mistake.

I've wired you many times

and even if I were half awake,

I told you I could do it
in my sleep and I can.

- Then would you please
tell me what went wrong?

- How can I tell you
when you're not here.

Here, here, would you stay here?

- Do you think I like it?

I can't help myself.

My stomach feels like the
inside of a loop-the-loop.

(audience laughs)

(spooky music)

There, you see?

I even disappear
without my antennas up.

- Uncle Martin, I know
I wired you correctly.

Now, of all the things
that happen to you,

I know that popsy
is one of the worst.

Believe me, I get
just as shook up

and shaky watching
you as you do,

doing what you're doing.

Which I know you don't do.

Do you?

- If you wired me correctly.

If you were really positive.

- [Tim] I am.

- Then I'm short circuited.

There must have been an
overload in my system.

- What do we do now?

- Long circuit me.

- How do we do that?

- Hook me in circuit
with a T.V. antenna.

Then we go to the toaster,

next we go to the
coffee percolator

and then to the blender

but don't plug me
into house current.

- Yeah?

- Here I am in the living room.

Next, we go through
the three-way lamp.

Then we anchor down
to the doorknob.

That's brass and
if I hold on to it,

I can be ground round.

- Ground round?

- Ground round.

It's a term you people
use to chop meat.

We martians use it
for charged doorknobs.

I'll explain as we go along.

But first, get a
long length of wire.

Well, just don't
stand there, hurry.

And remember, we start
with the T.V. antenna.

- The T.V. antenna, right.

(suspenseful music)

(audience laughs)

(suspenseful music)

(audience laughs)

(suspenseful music)

- Any leaks?

- Solid all the way.

- Right, the toaster
should pop any moment now.

You stay with the
wire and follow it

in case something goes wrong.

- This is gonna work?

- It's a form of chain reaction.

Your scientists have
just stumbled into it.

With us martians, it's
mere child's play.

Hurry now, the current
should be coming along

any moment now through me.

- To the doorknob.

- Which is ground round.

(audience laughs)

(suspenseful music)

- Any second now.

- I'm ready.

- Come on, pop up.

(playful music)

(blender explodes)

Toaster, peculator, blender.

(horn music)

Here it come.

- Thare she blows.

(suspenseful music)

- Hello, what are you
two yelling about?

And where's Martin?

- Oh, I don't know.

He was here.

He stepped out.

He wasn't here.

- Who were you yelling at?

Oh, it must have been the T.V.

- Oh, ah, the T.V., yes.

- I think you just blew a tube.

(audience laughs)

What's all that wire strung for?

Oh.

- Uh, current.

You see, I'm rewiring the house

and well, that's why
the T.V. set went off.

I thought I'd save a little
on our electric bill.

(audience laughs)

- Well, that's nice.

You know, I always
get such a tingle

when I come up here
to see you and Martin.

Oh, I wanted you to
remember what you promised.

(audience laughs)

- Promised?

- Yes, my brother
Stanley's bringing

my new stereo tonight.

I've told him so much about you

and he's dying to meet you.

Now, remember, you
promised you would come.

- Skinny nails.

You know, we thought when
we were rewiring the house,

we'd put in better
nails fixed up a little.

- Oh, good, that's nice.

That's what I've been telling
my brother Stanley about.

What marvelous
tenants you both are.

He really is dying to meet you.

Now, I'll be heart sick
if you break your promise

and don't show up.

(audience laughs)

All right?

(Tim chokes)

- Fine, right, whatever he says.

You say, we'll be there.

- Good, I knew you
wouldn't let me down.

(audience laughs)

- Oh, well, thank you.
- Yeah.

Have you gone mad?

Now it's gonna be
popping in and out

while you push me right
in front of Mrs Brown.

- I couldn't help popping
in and out, you know that.

The mixed in tape, the
ground round passed me.

- And the levitation.

- It was Mrs. Brown.

- Mrs. Brown?

- The charge passed me and
went through to Mrs. Brown.

She had her hand on the doorknob

and instead of me being
the end of the ride,

I became the conductor.

- You what?

Mrs. Brown?

- Has my levitating powers.

They passed through me into her.

- But how?

- I told you I
was the conductor.

She got the transfer.

- You're making jokes,
that's what you're doing.

You're making horrible jokes.

You're the conductor,
she got the transfer

and I'm off my trolley.

- I would like to laugh
but it's not funny.

Follow me.

- Okay, where'd you go?

- Will you stop
being ridiculous?

We're going to peak in
Mrs. Brown's window,

that's where we're going.

- Peak?

- Yes, peak, to see how much

levitating power she has
and how bad it's getting.

Excuse me.

Come on.

(playful music)

(spooky music)

(audience laughs)

- Maybe it's gonna rain.

(audience laughs)

(playful music)

- You're right, she's got it.

- How bad?

- How can I tell?

She keeps pointing at her hair,
it keeps straightening up.

So far she hasn't
done much else.

- Well, she's not panicked,
she doesn't realize

and that means she doesn't
have it that bad, yet.

- It gets worse?

- Yes.

Take another peak
and she if she has

a plastic hairbrush
on the table.

(playful music)

(spooky music)

- Hello, peaking Tim.

I had the strangest
thing happen in my hair.

Is there something I
could do for you, Tim?

- Oh, no, I was just walking by

and I was wondering
what time tonight?

- Oh, after dinner,
round eight-ish.

- That'll be fine.

- I can't understand why
my hair won't stay curled.

Maybe I'm nervous because
Stanley is coming.

Oh, well, maybe that
hairdryer'll do the trick.

- Yeah. (Tim laughs nervously)

(audience laughs)

- Did I hear her say hairdryer?

- Yes.

- Did she have a plastic
hairbrush on the dresser?

- I think so.

- Good, then that's how I get
back my levitating powers.

- How?

- Tim.

Tim, are you still there?

- Yes.

- Because I'm going
under the dryer

and I won't be able to hear you

if you wanna talk to me.

- Oh, that's no problem.

I was just leaving.

- See you at eight-ish,
you and Marty.

Bye.

- Who? (slap)

(audience laughs)

- Watch out.
- Sorry.

- Tim.

Now listen quickly.

You go inside and
get her to hold

a plastic brush with one hand.

Then you hold her other hand.

Then you put your left
foot on the metal part

of the hairdryer, then
you take your right foot

and put it up against
an exposed wall socket.

- I what?

- Then you take your free hand

and put it out the window.

I'll take hold of it,

then I'll put my foot on
that metal standpipe up there

and that's how I
get my power back.

- I do what?

I put my foot where?

- It's very simple.

Just think of
recreating the chain.

Get her to hold
the plastic brush,

then you take her other hand,

the electric socket
will be the drive.

- My, what a lovely watch.

- Oh, I though you were leaving

and I can't hear
under this dryer.

- Oh, I was just
admiring your watch.

- Tim, why, what's
the matter with you?

Do you feel all right?

- I feel just fine, yes.

Well, you know I told you
I was wiring my apartment?

- Yes.

- Well, you see I'm
measuring the distance

between the hairdryer
and the wall plug.

Now, based on the
principle that the augers

on the same floor has
to have a rat a fortis

and also assuming that
you understand the comac,

well, then you must have a
melden pen penching melton.

- Oh, yes.

- And you wouldn't want me
to overload your circuit.

- Oh heavens, no.

But my brother Stanley's
an audio engineer

and I'm sure he can help you.

And I don't understand
why you keep doing this

and I can't hear a
thing under this dryer.

(suspenseful music)

- Hi there.

Hi, I'm Stanley.

(playful music)

(audience laughs)

(playful music)

(audience laughs)

(suspenseful music)

Hi, I'm Stanley.

(playful music)

(audience laughs)

- Oh, Stanley.

- Hi, sis.

- Hi. (laughs)

- Have you seen my Uncle Martin?

He was standing right here.

- You mean Speedy.

I said hello, turned my
back and he was gone.

- Well, don't just
stand there, Stanley.

Come on in.

- I will, as long as
he lets go of my hand.

- Oh, you hoo, Martin,
this is my brother Stanley.

That's his Uncle Martin.

- And I'm Tim O'Hara.

- Hi, Speedy.

- Excuse me.

- I'll be right in, sis.

I'll get the stereo.

You'll love it.

- All right.

(playful music)

(audience laughs)

(playful music)

(audience laughs)

- There you are, Speedy.

(audience laughs)

(playful music)

He's sure in great shape.

He gets around like
greased lightning.

(audience laughs)

(playful music)

- Greased lightning.

He was right.

If I had thought of it sooner,

I'd have my levitating
powers back by now.

- All right, so he
said greased lightning.

It's just a figure of speech.

He didn't mean anything by it.

- I don't care whether he
meant anything about it or not.

He said greased lightning
and he was right.

- What's in the glass?

- It a chemical holding powder.

It can be whipped up

from some of your simple
home cleaning detergents.

It cuts grease.

- Huh?

- Holds me,
counteracts the popsy.

Instead of slipping in and
out like greased lightning

which caused it, I shall be
permanently held in place.

I think I've just disappeared.

- You're real gone.

(audience laughs)

(spooky music)

- Ah.

Ah, no more popsy, Tim.

I'm here definitely, Tim.

Now we can go and
visit Mrs. Brown

and her brother like I promised.

- Well, why didn't
you do that before?

I mean, instead of, you know,
all this long circuit stuff?

(spooky music)

- This isn't permanent, Tim.

As a matter of fact,
it's only temporary.

And dangerous.

- Dangerous?

- Like putting a penny
in a blown-up fusebox.

If you leave it in too
long. (laughs evilly)

I still have to
be long circuited.

Then I have to chain
react my levitating powers

back from Mrs. Brown.

That's the main reason for
going to visit with her.

- Okay, let's go.

Wait a minute.

Why am I going?

I don't even know what
I'm supposed to do.

- Aha, good point, Tim.

I took this ring
from our plumbing.

It's brass.

Now, I want you to put it
on the right index finger

of Mrs. Brown, it
will ground her.

- Her levitating finger?

- And I'll get
Stanley to take apart

the stereo set he bought.

- Take it apart?

- Well, it has the
transistors and condensers

that I need to complete
my long circuit.

- But I don't understand.

- It'll be like shooting
ducks in a barrel.

It will be very easy,
Tim, believe me.

- Oh, ducks in a barrel,
pennies in a fusebox.

But what am I supposed to do?

- Take the ring.

- Oh, on her right hand and
on the right index finger

and as soon as she
points, whoosh.

- I don't understand
why that picture

keeps falling like that.

(audience laughs)

- Must be bent
from being stuffed

in the closet all the time.

- Oh, don't say that, Stanley.

I didn't bring that picture out

just because you're
here tonight.

It's been out all
along, hasn't it, Tim?

- Oh, yes, yes, it's been
standing there all the time.

That's a lovely shade
of fingernail polish

you have, Mrs. Brown.

- Oh, thanks.

(audience laughs)

Would anyone like some
after-dinner mints?

If you would they're right here.

(audience laughs)

- Love one. (laughs)

Mhm, they're delicious.

Maybe Stanley would like one.

Would you?

- No, thank you.

- I thought you would.

Tim.

- Oh.

- Oh, won't you
sit down, Martin.

- Oh, well.

- You know, during dinner
tonight I kept dropping things

and I wasn't even near them.

- Why don't you
turn on the stereo?

I'd like to hear
how your set sounds.

- Oh?

Hear it.

It is beautiful, isn't it?

Has matched tweeters and
woofers as well as mid-range.

- Oh.

- They seem quite serious.

- Who?

Oh.

Oh, oh, yes, well, you know,

they're just friendly neighbors.

We all are.

Just one big happy family.

(audience laughs)

- Oh, Stanley, will
you play the machine?

Now that we have
it all hooked up,

I'd love to hear it.

- I'll turn on the preamp

and show you how
pretty it warms up.

If they're really serious,

I'll wire a whole
house for them.

No matter what.

- Oh, you've got them all wrong.

That's not what it looks like.

- Oh no?

Well it better be.

That's my baby sister.

(audience laughs)

- Uncle Martin, why don't you
go over and watch Stanley.

He has the preamp on.

(audience laughs)

I'll take Mrs. Brown
into the kitchen.

I, I have the ring.

- A ring in the kitchen?

- Well, yes, it's
an old family ring

and I'd like you to look at it.

The light's much
better in the kitchen.

- Oh, yes, oh, yes, yes,

it's a very lovely heirloom

and you know much more about
these things than we do.

- Oh, I do?
- Of course you do.

Now, this belonged
to my grandmother.

- That's quite a machine.

I'm a hi-fi fan, you know.

- Kid sent you over.

I mean it.

I saw you holding hands
with my baby sister.

If you're really
serious about her,

I'll wire a whole
new house for you.

(audience laughs)

- What's this?

- What'd you do that for?

That a 787310 and I had
it all balanced in and.

Look, you wanna talk
about her dowry?

- Not.

- Now, let's just see
what it looks like on you.

- Oh, no, no, not that finger.

It's too small.

(spooky music)

This finger.

- Oh, yes, well.

- Ow, you mean to see I
told you it's too small.

I think it's stuck.

- Oh, really?

Yeah, well, let's see what
it looks like into the light.

Oh, oh, it's lovely.

- What are you doing?

- And what's this?

- What are you,
some kind of a nut?

Why do you want to
take my stereo apart?

I just put it together.

- No, I just wondered
what this was.

- I don't care if it's stuck.

You can keep it.

- Oh, Tim.
- Oh, Tim.

- Oh, Stanley, look at
the ring Tim just gave me.

- Tim gave you?

- Yes, it's old-world brass.

It's from my grandmother's time.

- He gave?

But I thought you?

He must be a lot
older than he looks.

(audience laughs)

And you must be a lot younger.

- Stanley, what happened
to my new stereo?

- Oh, I'm afraid I did this.

I'll fix it right away.

Here, now you hold this.

- Sis, I want to talk
to you about him.

Because if you're
thinking seriously about.

(dramatic music)

(audience laughs)

Hey, don't do that.

(spooky music)

- What, what was?
- That?

- Earthquake.

- [Mrs. Brown And
Stanley] Earthquake?

- It was in the papers tonight.

Light tremors expected
in this vicinity.

- Sis, can I see you alone
for a minute in the kitchen?

- Okay?

Is everything okay?

(spooky music)

(audience laughs)

- Good as new.

And I've learnt
something earthian, Tim.

Like you people, I
really don't appreciate

what I have until I lose it.

(spooky music)

- Well, I'm glad you're so happy

but what about them?

- Nothing.

- Nothing?

- Stanley's inside scrubbing
her finger with soap

trying to get the ring
off, and at the same time,

trying to convince her to
get us off her property

or at least not be
friendly with us.

- What'd she say?

- No.

- What are you doing?

Lower those things.

- You forget, Tim that getting
my levitating powers back

is only the first part.

I'm still in a temporary
penny in my fusebox.

I'm existing on
cleaning detergents.

And I still have
to cure my popsy.

- You're going to leave me here?

- You will make
apologies for me.

- Oh, hi, there you are.

Martin had to leave.

He had a splitting headache.

(spooky music)

Earthquake, it must
have sprung the door jam

but let's not worry about that.

Well, how're you doing, Stanley?

I mean, I've really
been looking forward

to meeting you and tell
me all about yourself.

(audience laughs)

All clear.

- I'm ready.

- You know, I really
shouldn't help you.

- Why?

- Well, after leaving me with
Mrs. Brown and her brother.

- Well, now, being a little
uncomfortable socially

is not the same as,

he who levitates and runs away,

lives to levitate another day.

Now, get going.

That toaster's going to
pop at any second now.

- But just what would
happen to you, Uncle Martin,

if.

- Don't ask.

I smell something burning.

- Oh, oh, toaster.

- No, no, I think it's me.

- Come on, come on.

(dramatic music)

It's gone.

- Ready and waiting.

- Hello, anybody home?

Your front door was locked,

so I thought I'd
try the backdoor.

(audience laughs)

Oh, still working
on the rewiring?

- Oh, yes, oh, we
almost have it.

- Done.

- I just came up to
bring you back this ring.

It really is an antique.

My brother Stanley
told me it came

from an old plumbing fixture.

- No?

Well, you know, perhaps when
were rewiring the sink, we.

- Mrs. Brown, I'm terribly sorry

that I wasn't better
company for your brother.

- Oh, well, that's all right.

Actually, it does.

(crashing)

(audience laughs)

- What?

- Residue.

A half hour.

- A half hour?

- Mrs. Brown, would you like
to watch a little T.V. with me?

- Now?

- The late, late, late show.

- Oh.

- Turn on the T.V., Tim.

(cheerful music)

- I think I'll
take a little walk.

- But Tim, it's one of
your favorite programs.

(audience laughs)

- At least you could
let me sit down.

(audience laughs)

(cheerful music)
