I believe I've had it for the day.
176
00:18:09,605 --> 00:18:11,815
[CHUCKLES]
177
00:18:58,992 --> 00:19:01,578
It's preying on you now, isn't it?
178
00:19:01,662 --> 00:19:04,164
I mean, the quiet, the emptiness.
179
00:19:04,248 --> 00:19:07,126
Well, the thing of it is…
180
00:19:07,210 --> 00:19:11,088
It's just that while I don't
care much for people,
181
00:19:11,172 --> 00:19:13,758
it's difficult not having anyone.
182
00:19:13,842 --> 00:19:15,802
Why not get someone?
183
00:19:15,886 --> 00:19:19,139
That's the point, someone is everyone.
184
00:19:19,223 --> 00:19:23,185
And I can't stand everyone
or anyone for that matter.
185
00:19:23,269 --> 00:19:25,438
There frankly isn't a breed
186
00:19:25,522 --> 00:19:29,025
or a specie of human
being that I can stomach.
187
00:19:31,195 --> 00:19:34,573
Ever thought of a cocker spaniel?
188
00:19:34,657 --> 00:19:40,288
Well, I never cared
much for animals, either.
189
00:19:40,372 --> 00:19:43,124
Of course. Of course!
190
00:19:43,208 --> 00:19:46,586
Why didn't I think of it before?
191
00:19:46,670 --> 00:19:48,546
Think of what?
192
00:19:48,630 --> 00:19:51,467
People! People who I can stand.
193
00:19:51,551 --> 00:19:54,970
People like… People like myself.
194
00:19:55,054 --> 00:19:58,642
That's what I'll do. I'll create people,
195
00:19:58,726 --> 00:20:01,978
but they'll… they'll be like me.
196
00:20:02,062 --> 00:20:06,191
A world full of Archibald
Beechcrofts. Now, that's a thought.
197
00:20:06,275 --> 00:20:10,279
You bet your life it's a
thought. You bet your sweet life.
198
00:20:10,363 --> 00:20:12,865
That's what I'll do. I… I'll will it.
199
00:20:12,949 --> 00:20:16,370
I'll concentrate and
I'll will that from now on
200
00:20:16,454 --> 00:20:19,122
everyone I see will be like me.
201
00:20:19,206 --> 00:20:20,791
It's really quite simple.
202
00:20:27,758 --> 00:20:29,843
[NO AUDIO]
203
00:20:40,021 --> 00:20:45,568
[WHISTLE BLOWS]
204
00:20:45,652 --> 00:20:50,365
People. It's not enough they're
just a mob. They're a dishonest mob.
205
00:20:50,449 --> 00:20:54,370
Kindly deposit ten cents for the purchase,
please, or shall I call the police?
206
00:21:04,799 --> 00:21:08,928
Will you please get off
my foot, you ugly little man?
207
00:21:12,182 --> 00:21:14,768
Twelfth floor. Everybody out, please.
208
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,232
Sardines!

[OFFICE NOISE]
210
00:21:31,370 --> 00:21:35,206
The noise, the miserable noise.
211
00:21:35,290 --> 00:21:39,712
I'll go out of my mind. I'll go
out of my ever-loving mind.
212
00:21:42,298 --> 00:21:44,383
A sty, that's what it is.
213
00:21:44,467 --> 00:21:47,805
Nothing but people, and people are pigs.
214
00:21:51,308 --> 00:21:54,686
People, people, people, people.
215
00:21:54,770 --> 00:21:58,692
Is there no respite? Is there no relief?
216
00:22:04,699 --> 00:22:09,995
Herds, droves, hosts
and bevies of people.
217
00:22:10,079 --> 00:22:14,668
Will you people stop muttering
back there? I'm trying to work.
218
00:22:27,807 --> 00:22:29,809
Had it?
219
00:22:29,893 --> 00:22:32,145
Undeniably.
220
00:22:32,229 --> 00:22:34,314
Coming through to you, huh?
221
00:22:34,398 --> 00:22:36,567
Without a doubt.
222
00:22:39,069 --> 00:22:42,698
A lot of me is just as
bad as a lot of them.
223
00:22:42,782 --> 00:22:46,326
So, what's to do now?
224
00:22:46,410 --> 00:22:50,164
I'll just put it back the way it was.
225
00:22:50,248 --> 00:22:52,918
Just the way it was.
226
00:23:06,682 --> 00:23:08,518
[GASPS] Oh!
227
00:23:08,602 --> 00:23:12,188
Oh, Mr. Beechcroft,
please, sir, forgive me. I… I…
228
00:23:12,272 --> 00:23:15,775
Uh, nothing serious, Henry.
229
00:23:15,859 --> 00:23:18,696
Just, uh, forget it.
230
00:23:28,666 --> 00:23:30,208
Yes?
231
00:23:30,292 --> 00:23:34,296
I was wondering. That book I gave you,
232
00:23:34,380 --> 00:23:36,799
did you get anything out of it?
233
00:23:36,883 --> 00:23:42,096
Well, uh… not really, Henry, I, uh…
234
00:23:42,180 --> 00:23:44,600
Frankly, I thought it was a lot of pap.
235
00:23:44,684 --> 00:23:50,564
It was interesting, but
totally unbelievable.
236
00:23:50,648 --> 00:23:54,652
NARRATOR: Mr. Archibald Beechcroft,
a child of the 20th century
237
00:23:54,736 --> 00:23:57,906
who has found out through
trial and error, and mostly error,
238
00:23:57,990 --> 00:24:00,462
that with all its faults
it may well be that
239
00:24:00,546 --> 00:24:02,870
this is the best of all possible worlds.
240
00:24:02,954 --> 00:24:05,789
People notwithstanding,
it has much to offer.
241
00:24:05,873 --> 00:24:09,877
Tonight's case in point
in the Twilight Zone.
242
00:24:13,173 --> 00:24:15,926
PRESENTER: Rod Serling,
creator of The Twilight Zone
243
00:24:16,010 --> 00:24:18,087
will tell you about next week's story
244
00:24:18,171 --> 00:24:20,682
after this word from
our alternate sponsor.
245
00:24:21,933 --> 00:24:23,100
And now, Mr. Serling.
246
00:24:23,184 --> 00:24:26,312
It's been said that singularly,
the most difficult feat of all mankind
247
00:24:26,396 --> 00:24:28,301
is to find a needle in a haystack.
248
00:24:28,385 --> 00:24:30,567
On The Twilight Zone next
time, we do it one better.
249
00:24:30,651 --> 00:24:33,236
We pose a problem of finding
a Martian in a snow bank.
250
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,031
It all adds up to a kind of
extraterrestrial who's who
251
00:24:36,115 --> 00:24:38,618
with a couple of laughs, and
more than a couple of tensions.
252
00:24:38,702 --> 00:24:41,829
We recommend this to the space
buffs and the jigsaw puzzle addicts.
253
00:24:41,913 --> 00:24:44,499
Next time on
The Twilight Zone, our story is called
254
00:24:44,583 --> 00:24:46,793
"Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?"
255
00:24:48,629 --> 00:24:52,258
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

that the Colgate-Palmolive Company
