[WIND GUSTING]

[THUNDER CRASHING]

Hello?

Hello?

Oh, please,

someone answer.

Hello, NASA?

Uh, this is Jeannie Nelson. May | speak to Major Anthony--?

Uh, what?

Oh, well, | do not know.

This phone seems to be working.

Oh, yes, please, may | speak to Major Anthony Nelson?

He what?

He left already?

Oh. Thank you very much.

[CLICKS TONGUE]

Ooh. Oh, dear,

it is not safe to be out in a storm like this.

| am sorry, master, but you belong at home.

[WIND GUSTING]

Oh.

Oh. Thank heavens you're safe. Don’t-- Don’t touch me.

I’m sopping wet, darling.

Hey, that’s some blow out there.

My car broke down three blocks away.

Well, the first thing we must do

is get you out of those wet clothes and into a hot tub.

Yeah. Well, | called NASA,

and when they said you were not there, | got so worried.

Well, I’m gonna be there in 10 minutes.

That’s what | was looking for. You are not going out again.

Sweetheart, this hurricane

is right over the primary recovery area.

I've got to talk down Mattingly and Forbes.

Look, my car’s broken down. Dr. Bellows is waiting for me.

If the storm gets any worse,

I’m gonna be staying at NASA,

okay? But, darling, your clothes.

| don’t have time to change, sweetheart.

| just don’t have time.

[GASPS] [GROAN]

[THUNDER CRASHING]

Oh. You all right?

Oh, Major Nelson, there’s no use--

Major Nelson, what are you wearing?

Huh? Oh.

Oh, the lights.

Uh-- Uh-- Uh, power failure, sir.

Oh, it is all right. | can--

No. | don’t want you to do anything.

Go light some candles.

No need to snap, major.

I’m sorry, sir. l-- | guess I’m just, uh, nervous.

You know, with Mattingly and Forbes up there,

I’m gonna have to talk ‘em down. I--

Uh. I’m just nervous, that’s all.

Oh. Oh.

[MAGIC BOINGS]

Then why, may | ask, are you lounging around in a bathrobe

when we've got to get to the base?

Oh, well, uh, I'll change right away, sir.

Jeannie insisted that | change into some dry clothes.

You know how wives are about that,

so, uh, that’s why | put this bathrobe on.

| see.

[THUNDER CRASHING]

Oh.

[Pal]

[Pal]

[Pal]

Put this on, Dr. Bellows.

| shall make some hot soup.

Oh, thank you, Jeannie.

This looks like the one you were wearing, major.

When was that, sir?

When | came in, you were standing there--

It's amazing what an electrical storm can do to your perception.

| think you'd better come in here and use my bathroom

before you get a chill. Just go right in there, sir.

Uh, thank you. Yes, sir.

[THUNDER CRASHING]

Now, Jeannie, it looks like Dr. Bellows is

gonna be marooned here until after the hurricane.

Oh. Well, that is fine. He-- He can sleep up in the study.

Good. Good. Now, I-I know | don’t have to say this,

but no tricks, huh?

Oh, no, darling. Of course not.

Good.

See. Now, look, this is exactly what | mean.

What? There’s a power failure.

Would you turn the lights off?

Oh, the lights. Oh, but darling--

Turn ’em off. Really.

Uh, you know, it just doesn't make any sense.

Thank you. Thanks.

[THUNDER CRASHES]

Turn ’em on, please.

Oh, darling. Oh.

Just turn them off.

But darling, you-- | know. Just go ahead. Turn ’em off.

[EXASPERATED SIGH]

Thank you.

[THUNDER CRASHES] Agh!

[GASPS] Shh!

[Pal]

[MUTTERING INAUDIBLY]

[WIND GUSTING]

Whoo! Whoo!

Roge, hey, what are you doing here?

I’m on my way to Miami.

What? How?

How? By blink.

With the most beautiful girl in all of Florida.

And what a break with this storm. Yeah.

No lights. Can you imagine this?

She won't be able to send me home. Ha-ha.

All Jeannie has to do is get me to Miami. That's all.

And, uh-- Uh, how do you propose that Jeannie do that?

Oh, uh, how do I--? How do | propose that, sir?

Oh, uh, well, Jeannie has a connection with the, uh--

With the travel bureau. Oh, don't be ridiculous.

For all practical purposes, we're marooned right here.

Come to think of it, Major Healey, how did you get here?

It was fine when | left home, sir.

But all of a sudden | went driving down the street,

and they got these big trees in there, and everything’s flooded.

It’s really awful.

How we gonna get to NASA, sir?

Well, we'll call.

Well, sooner or later they may send out

some sort of, uh, amphibious vehicle.

Yeah, | heard on my car radio

that all the telephones are definitely out of order, sir.

Oh. [PHONE BEING DIALED]

Ah-- Uh, Jeannie, darling, the phones aren’t working.

Hello, Mrs. Bellows. This is Jeannie.

Oh, yes. | just thought you might be worried,

and | wanted to let you know

that Dr. Bellows is here and safe.

Would you like to talk to him? Here.

B-- B-but how...?

| don’t know, sir.

The phone company’s always been a mystery to me.

Amanda?

Yeah, but the main thing, Steve,

is to keep them absolutely current

on what’s happening down here.

Oh, don’t try to keep anything from ’em.

Don’t sound like you're trying to keep anything from them.

Delicious soup, Jeannie.

Don’t make things sound better than they are.

It certainly warms you up. Thank you, Dr. Bellows.

Tsk. But | do not understand what Anthony is doing.

Well, Tony’s supposed to talk Mattingly and Forbes down.

BELLOWS: | know | shouldn't question good luck,

but | still don’t understand why your phone

is the only phone in the area that’s working.

[SPOON CLACKS LOUDLY]

Um. |, uh... Oh, here it is.

| shall clear the dishes and bring the next course.

Good. I'll give you a hand, Jeannie.

Thank you, Dr. Bellows.

[WIND GUSTING]

| said, have you got the oxygen remaining times

relative to the recovery contingencies three and four?

| hope you like lamb, Dr. Bellows.

Oh, anything’s fine, Jeannie.

| love lamb.

Uh, Jeannie, your stove.

Yes. Yes. Heh. Is something the matter?

It’s electric.

Oh, yes.

Is that bad?

It’s not bad. It's impossible.

There’s no electricity.

Oh.

[THUNDER CRASHING]

TONY: Okay. That’s right.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Major Nelson. Your stove...

Uh, generator, sir. The emergency generator.

Hold on, Steve.

How did you know what | was going to say?

What were you gonna say?

Why is your electric stove working?

Uh, it’s an emergency generator, just like we have at NASA.

Yeah, go ahead, Jim.

Well, uh...

major, why aren't the lights working?

Oh. Don’t ask me, sir.

It's not my house.

Uh. Different circuit, sir.

Oh, yeah.

Well, you see, the generator is for the stove.

It's better to eat what you're seeing

than see what you re eating.

JEANNIE: Uh, Dr. Bellows--

Dr. Bellows, you've said that Anthony was very important

to those two brave men up in the capsule.

Now, do you not think it is more important to worry about them

than about a silly, little-old electric stove,

and whether it works or doesn’t work?

But that’s not the point. It's simply impossible.

Well, of course, Jeannie. You're right.

Oh, forgive me, major.

Uh, | guess this business has us all on edge.

Uh, it’s perfectly understandable, sir.

But this is the most puzzling house.

First the lights, then the phone, then the stove.

Would you like some coffee, sir?

Ooh. Oh, it’s really hot.

In an electric coffee pot?

[THUNDER CRASHES]

Dr. Bellows, do you like a hard bed?

Yes. As a matter of fact, | do, major.

Uh, good. Why don’t you take the couch?

The bed’s a little mushy.

Master. Shall | stay up with you?

No, darling. You better get some sleep.

Somebody’s got to have energy in the morning

to take care of Dr. Bellows and Roger.

All right. | love you.

Mm. | love you too.

Oh.

[Pal]

[THUNDER CRASHES] Yes.

Yeah, well, they know they have to conserve their oxygen.

Yeah. Just, uh, t--

Tell ’em to, uh-- To think of that--

That conscious relaxation exercise we used to try.

[YAWNS] Yeah, you know the one.

You know the one where you relax your toes?

Ah. And the feet relax.

The legs relax...

[THUNDER CRASHES]

Yeah. Hello? Yeah, I--

Yeah, | know. | almost fell asleep myself.

Yeah, well tell ‘em to try that one.

Okay.

[YAWNS]

[THUNDER CRASHES]

All right, Steve.

Now, look, this is the last contact

we're gonna have, see.

And when they burn through...

[YAWNS]

...we're gonna lose all radio contact with ’em.

And, uh, hm...

Oh. My poor master.

You must get some sleep.

Oh. Oh, | can't, Jeannie.

I-- | can’t right now.

Oh, but you must.

You have been awake so many hours,

you are going to make yourself sick.

TONY: | can’t get any sleep

until | talk Mattingly and Forbes down.

Well, | cannot stand by and watch you make yourself sick.

I-l-- | just simply cannot stand it.

What are you gonna do?

JEANNIE: There you are, master.

Now you can see. They are safe.

Uh. Jeannie. What did you do?

Well, | brought them down, master, so that you could see

that they are safe. And now you can get some sleep.

Well, you get ‘em right back up in that capsule.

But, master, | brought them dow--

Well, you get-- They’re gonna make a reentry

in about 30 seconds.

Now get ‘em back up there right now.

Come on. Yes. Y-yes, master.

Well, do it. Huh?

Thanks. Now, you get back into your--

Into your bed, will you?

JEANNIE: Yes, master.

TONY: Oh. Come on. JEANNIE: | love you.

| love you too, sweetheart.

Go on, go on. Good night.

Good night.

[THUNDER CRASHES]

Hello, Steve. Are you there?

Major Nelson.

[Pal]

Dr. Bellows.

Did you see the...

[Pal]

All of it.

All of it.

Jeannie-- She folded her arms, and then--

And then she...

She blinked her eyes and--

And suddenly they-- They were here.

They were sitting...

right here.

And then she-- She blinked them again...

and they were gone.

And then she blinked her eyes a third time,

and then she was gone.

Major Nelson, what in the name

of heaven’s going on here?

You're asleep. That's what’s going on.

You're asleep. You're dreaming.

When you wake up in the morning,

you're not gonna remember anything.

No. Nonsense. I’ve been--

No, no. I, uh--

I’ve been up all night.

I’ve been worrying about Mattingly and Forbes.

| haven’t-- | haven't slept a wink.

Yeah. Not a wink.

Major. Why did she wink?

Uh, wink? Yeah.

No, a blink. | mean--

Uh, you used hypnosis. You hypnotized yourself.

No, no, no. That’s ridiculous.

I’m as awake as you are.

It was an experiment | was conducting here.

While you've been on the phone all this time?

No, it’s out of the-- It’s-- It’s all nonsense.

Nonsense. A mirage?

The truth!

| saw it and | want the truth.

And while you re at it,

you can tell me all that’s going on in this house.

The truth about that phone,

the lights, the stove. Everything!

Uh, you'd better brace yourself, sir,

because the truth is rather startling.

Try me.

Well...

Try me!

| married a genie.

[LAUGHS] [THUNDER CRASHES]

You never quit. Do you, major?

You don’t believe me?

Wait. What’s going on down here anyway?

Uh, Major Healey, | think you'd better sit down.

Yeah. | just got up, sir.

I’m afraid you're in for quite a shock.

Shock.

A very big shock.

Major Nelson just told me

that he was married...

to a genie. Mm-hm.

[THUNDER CRASHES]

Oh, uh-- Oh, well, you, uh--

You must be dreaming, sir. | tried that.

Yeah, you tried that. Oh, well, it’s probably--

Probably some kind of self-hypnosis, sir.

| tried that.

Uh, well, it’s an experiment.

That’s it. [LAUGHS] No.

Have you tried mirage?

Roger, he caught me red-handed.

| had to tell him the truth.

Did he believe it?

The question is not whether | believe it,

but does...

Major Nelson believe it?

Well, I...

| believe anything you two believe.

Good night.

Roger, don't leave me here. Uh, uh.

Now, | just want you to relax.

Now, you try to remember that I’m your friend,

and I’m trying to help you, major.

Yes, sir. Uh, ahem.

Your health is far more important

than any explanation, major.

You see, we have, uh-- We have ways of dealing with

psychoses such as yours.

In a few years of rest and quiet...

depth analysis.

Jeannie! Jeannie!

Oh. Yes, Anthony. Here.

Did you call?

| want you to smoke into your bottle.

What? Smoke into your bottle.

[SHOUTS] What?!

Oh. Well. Well, he--

He is asleep.

He is so sleepy, he does not know what he is saying.

Uh, Jeannie, it-- It’s all right.

Uh, I’m your master. Smoke into your bottle.

Ah. Darling.

[WHISPERS] Dr. Bellows.

Just do as | say.

I’m asleep. That’s--

That is what it is.

l-- | am asleep.

| am asleep.

[Pal]

Jeannie?

Yes, Anthony.

You called?

Yeah, I-- | was trying to show Dr. Bellows

that you’re really a genie. You can come out.

Yes, Anthony. That--

That is my name. Jeannie.

It’s all right, major.

You've made your point.

ll, uh--

I'll resign my commission immediately,

of course. |--

Commit myself for treatment...

while | still have a few lucid moments left, and...

BELLOWS: Shame, really. |--

| like the Air Force. | like...

being a psychiatrist.

Oh. The poor man.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Uh, sir, all you have to do is realize

that there is such a thing as a genie in the world.

Of course, it'll...

be difficult to tell Amanda, but...

she’ll understand.

She'll, uh, wait for me.

Dr. Bellows. Uh...

Um, Jeannie, do you remember

that stereopticon we used to use?

You mean the past and future machine?

Yes. Yeah. Would you blink it in, please?

Oh.

Ha.

Uh, there, sir. Uh, this will probably clear things up.

Just-- T-take a look in here.

Oh, yes.

Uh.

[Pal]

Major Nelson. Where did all this come from?

Uh, this bed, those pillows,

the-- These curtains.

Hello, Dr. Bellows.

[SCREAMS]

Major Nelson, please. Look at me!

Look at my uniform!

BELLOWS: What’s the matter with you? What is that?

Oh, a-a-a-a-- A mosquito netting, sir.

Malaria prevention.

BELLOWS: Mosquito netting? TONY: Yeah.

BELLOWS: Malaria prevention? TONY: Absolutely.

Oh, | wish you’d be more careful. Look at this.

[SCREAMS]

What was that? Huh? A mosquito bite.

Very paintul, sir. The whole room is full of ’em.

Hold still. Hold still, sir.

One right there.

Ow! What’s the mat--

The whole room is full of them.

It must be full. | can hear them.

Give me some of this. Huh? No.

Give me. Give me! [BUZZING]

Oh. Oh!

Oh!

You mean to tell me

that was all Jeannie?

Yes, sir. All. All.

And she really does live in this bottle?

No!

Huh? No, it’s all right, darling.

I’m trying to convince him.

Let him look in there. Uh, but--

It’s all right.

Oh! Ah!

TONY: Shh, shh.

Oh. It’s all right.

Now, look, darling, we're married.

We don't need the bottle anymore.

[SOBBING] Oh... That’s okay.

Uh, sir, would you like to take another look in there?

Of course. I--

| can hardly wait.

[DoT] Uh...

I Way, hey Blow the man down J

[SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]

Ahoy, there! Come aboard, major.

What?

Come out of the water.

| beg your pardon? The water.

Oh.

Did you eat the pipchick, sir?

| certainly did.

Salt air gives you a marvelous appetite.

Ready to come about.

Come aboard!

Look out for the boom, major.

The what, sir?

The boom!

Oh. Oh, right. Right.

Uh, sir, I-- | really think you ought to come with me.

Come with you? What for?

I’m finally doing something I’ve always wanted to do.

Sailing a whaler to Alaska.

Mmm. Looks like a sou’easter’s

blowing up out of the nor’west.

Ah, you gotta watch out for them sou’easters.

Perhaps we ought to go below

and put on our foul-weather gear, Sir.

Too late for that.

Lower the lifeboats.

[Pal]

Ill never be able to look at myself in the mirror again.

Uh, there was one particular incident

| remember that--

When your explanation sounded especially fishy.

You know, the time that I--

| thought | saw the two Martians.

Uh-- Uh, Jeannie, would you mind?

Go ahead.

| don’t understand.

This whole base should be on red alert.

The president should’ve been notified.

Look. Look at this hat.

Now, just calm down, colonel.

Nobody’s gonna hurt you.

But, sir. | know it sounds crazy, but it’s true.

| saw them.

Uh, green men with, um, a-- A--

Antennae, colonel?

That’s right, sir. Antennae.

They must’ve taken over the jet plate.

Well, there’s the jet plate right now, doctor.

BELLOWS: The gall of them to come right here to NASA.

[JET PLATE ENGINES WHIRRING]

Oh, no.

They might have vaporizers.

We'll chance it, doctor.

Go on!

You'll see. You'll see.

Hello!

Hello in-- Hello in there.

[SPEAKING SLOWLY] Uh, we are earthlings.

We like you.

Oh, that’s very kind of you, Sir.

We like you too.

Well, doctor?

| must admit, major, that your explanations were

extraordinarily clever.

I'll resign my commission, of course, sir.

And Jeannie and |

will go away where we're not Known,

and start life all over again.

What a waste to the space program.

Well, I'd rather be married to Jeannie

than be an astronaut, sir.

Oh, Anthony...

Call me "master."

BELLOWS: Jeannie, | always thought that you were

a charming and wonderful girl.

A perfect wife for Major Nelson.

Magic or no, I...

see no reason why | should change my opinion.

Thank you, Dr. Bellows.

Major Nelson, all things being considered--

and | mean all things

--uh, it’s been a great honor and a pleasure working with you.

Uh, good luck.

Thank you, sir.

Uh, excuse me.

You better get some sleep.

[Pal]

Good night, darling, darling Anthony.

Master.

Master.

[Pal]

STEVE [ON PHONE]: Tony? Tony, are you there?

Tony, wake up. Hm?

What?

Oh. Hello.

They’re down, Tony. Down.

Aboard the carrier, safe and sound.

[LAUGHS] They're down?

You're kidding. They're down.

[CHUCKLING] Hey, that’s great, Steve.

And they’re aboard the carrier?

Hey, that’s sensational.

[LAUGHS] We did it, huh?

Okay, buddy.

Yeah, you'd better get some sleep.

I'll get some too.

Mm, yeah, well, I’m so tired,

I'll probably have a nightmare now.

[LAUGHS] Okay, bye.

[THUNDER CRASHES]

[SMALL GASP]

[Pal]

Where’s the bottle?

The bottle was broken.

The machine.

[THUNDER CRASHES]

[LAUGHING] That's what it was. It was a nightmare.

Hey.

A nightmare. The whole thing was a nightmare.

Dr. Bellows and the machine.

[LAUGHING]

Whoo-hoo!

TONY [LAUGHING]: Whoo-hoo!

Major Nelson, what is it?

Uh-- M-Mattingly and Forbes. They're down.

They're on the carrier. What? How marvelous.

Yeah.

Oh.

[THUNDER CRASHES] How about that?

What is all the noise about?

Uh-- They’re down. They’re safe on the carrier.

Oh! My hero!

Jeannie, Jeannie. Uh, hey, where did you come from?

Yeah. Oh. Well, uh--

She’s, uh-- From the bedroom, sir.

That’s not possible. | was standing right here.

ll get Roger.

No, no, no. He’s not up there.

He’s not up there.

Where is he? Roge?

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Wait. There he is.

At this hour? Wait a minute.

[THUNDER CRASHES]

Oh. Major Healey, where are you going?

I’m going to Miami... with Nancy.

Take a trip.

Blink me in.

Goodbye. Good night all.

That’s quite an answer. Goodbye.

No, no, no, no. Not on the couch.

You'll get the couch wet. Not my bottle.

Wake up.

[Pal]
