[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

NARRATOR: You unlock this
door with the key of imagination.

Beyond it is another dimension.

A dimension of sound.

A dimension of sight.
A dimension of mind.

You're moving into a land of
both shadow and substance,

of things and ideas.

You've just crossed over
into the Twilight Zone.

I know. I know!

I know, and you are
making me all the later.

And Lovesville to you.

Ivor is nervous.

So am I. You've 25
minutes to get to the airport.

Won't they hold the plane?

Not forever. You'd better shift gears.

I'm all packed, except for my
rings. I'm gonna take all of them.

Oh, you kook.

It was your idea.

It was my idea it would
make good publicity

if the Ring-a-Ding Girl collected rings.

You'd better haul
your fantail out of here,

or all you're gonna see of
that plane is a vapor trail.

Oh, this just came special delivery.
You can look at it on the plane.

I adore presents. Let the plane wait.

"Please accept the enclosed
as a token of affection

of your fan club in Howardville."

Do you know where Howardville is?

Doesn't everybody?

You'll see it if you look down.
We fly right over the center of town.

Well, hooray for us.

Howardville happens to be my hometown,

and my loyalest fans are still there.

I couldn't have gotten here
if it hadn't been for them.

They actually took up a collection
to pay my fare to Hollywood.

What'd they send you,
the key to the local still?

Well, let's find out.

You find out.

I'm gonna get this ice down to the car.

[ECHOING] Bunny, come home.

Come home, Bunny.

Bunny, this is Hildy.

Come home. Come home.

Come home.

NARRATOR: Introduction to
Bunny Blake. Occupation: film actress.

Residence, Hollywood, California,
or anywhere in the world

that cameras happen to be grinding.

Bunny Blake is a public figure.

What she wears, eats,
thinks, says is news.

But underneath the glamour,
the makeup, the publicity,

the buildup, the costuming, is a
flesh-and-blood person, a beautiful girl

about to take a long and bizarre
journey into the Twilight Zone.

Yeah, okay, Nancy. Hey, we
still going to the dance Friday?

HILDY: Bud!

What?

I need that picnic
basket out of the cellar.

Oh, look, I'll call you right back.

Hey, can't I finish
reading the ball scores?

Now, buster. I'm gonna
pack the sandwiches

just as soon as I finish
cleaning this room.

Hey, you know, the paper says rain.

Yeah, I know. So does the radio.
But just in the north part of the county.

Will you please get the picnic basket?

And then clean up your
room. And mow the lawn.

A… Aren't there any laws
against child labor in this state?

[VACUUM CLEANER DIES]

BUNNY: Boo.

Bunny! I don't believe it!

Oh, it has been so long!

I think about you all the time.

But how did you ever get in
here without me hearing you?

I could just shake you.

That is no way to greet a celebrity.

But five years, and not
even one speck of warning.

Oh, you know me.
Glamorous, unpredictable,

full of surprises. The same old nut.

What made you decide to
come home out of the blue?

I thought maybe you'd like to see me.

Oh, I'm tickled to death.

And maybe it was the ring.

Oh, it arrived. What a project that was.

Everyone in town chipped
in a dollar, and they

let me pick it out.
Do you really like it?

I love it.

Sis, is everything all right here?

Are you all right?

Never better. Why?

Oh, I don't know. Maybe
I'm having hallucinations.

Oh, don't drag that on the
floor. I haven't even vacuumed.

Oh, that's the way you do it in
Hollywood. They teach you in drama class.

It's supposed to show
that you really don't care.

And besides, you've got ten
more at home in the closet.

How do you like the walk?

You didn't learn that in drama class.

My one natural talent.

[LAUGHS] Oh, Bunny,
we're so proud of you.

The whole town is. How
long do we get to keep you?

Just for one day.

Oh, that's not nearly long enough.

I'm stealing time as it is, sis.
I'm supposed to be in Rome.

But I got to the airport,
and right at the last minute

I said, "Shoot, I'm going home."

[DOOR SHUTS]

Aunt Bunny!

Who is this divine man?

Hello, Aunt Bunny.

Is it really Bud?

Funny, I thought it was
Rock, or maybe Cary.

Yeah, Mom said you were a screwball.

And she was right. Gee,
it is good to be home.

I'm so anxious to see everybody.
All my old friends and all.

You picked the right day for it. You
remember the Founders' Day Picnic?

How could I forget it?

The year I won the beauty pageant
was what really got me started.

Well, the picnic is this afternoon.

Everyone in town will be there.

Picnic?

Of course you'll come?

Picnic!

Bud and I have to go.

I'm on the Food Committee,
and he's the lifeguard.

[ECHOING] Good morning,
ladies and gentlemen.

This is your young
old friend, Ben Braden,

Howardville's answer to Arthur Godfrey,
bringing you the news and weather

and a very special hello to you,
Bunny Blake, wherever you are.

Bunny, please come home.

We need you, we need you, we need you.

Oh.

Bunny, are you all right?

Bunny, what is it?

Bud, call Dr. Floyd.

Bunny!

I played a nurse in a movie once.

The doctor reminded me of you.

He was supposed to be a
kindly, gruff old family physician.

I saw it. The medical
profession should have sued.

Uh, I was faking. About
being sick, I mean.

I just wanted to see you.

Well, that's flattering.

What's your diagnosis?

One tired little girl.

What do you do in Hollywood, anyway?

Me? I glow. Wind me, and I light up.

Turn me on and I give
off incandescent sparkles.

Heck, Doc, I'm a star.

Well, you've been sparkling
a little too much lately.

What you need is sleep, rest, fresh air,

and some of Hildy's good cooking.

I want you to take it a
little easy for a while.

Sorry, kindly, gruff old family
physician, but that is impossible.

There is a producer in
Rome right this minute

pulling out what's left of his
hair wondering where I am.

Tell me his name, and
I'll cable him you're sick.

But I'm not sick.

Your sister said you were in shock.

That you seemed not to hear her

or even to see her during that seizure.

It was a performance.

Evidently a very convincing one.

I told you, it was all an
excuse to get you over here.

There's something I want to ask you.

Well?

You used to be a very big deal
on the Founders' Day Committee.

Still am. I'm the chairman.

Well, as one kindly, gruff
old family friend to another,

would you do me a very large favor?

I'll try.

Put off the picnic.
Postpone it to another day.

Really?

You can't be serious, Bunny. Why?

I've only got one day to spend at home.

I want it to be a plain,
ordinary apple-pie kind of day.

The way I remember. I
want to drop in on old friends

and surprise them at home.

You can see them at the picnic.

It wouldn't be the same. There'd
be crowds, new people I don't know,

strangers tugging at me for
autographs. I'd be miserable.

Bunny, you can't seriously expect

that an entire town is
going to rearrange its plans

just to suit your whim.

Doc, I love this town,
and I love the people.

Would I ask them to do this for
me if it weren't more than a whim?

I don't know what your
life is like away from here.

Perhaps in Hollywood you can
make an unreasonable request

and your caprice is gratified.
But this isn't Hollywood.

Now, I'm going to give you something

that will help you rest.

[ECHOING] Ring-a-Ding Girl.

But she don't fool Cyrus Gentry.

Miss High-and-Mighty coming back
here like she was somebody special.

Well, you are special. Right now.

Maybe the most special person
Howardville will ever have.

So, Bunny Blake, help us,

help us, help us.

Oh, Bunny, I have written you out…

Excuse me, Doctor.

Bunny?

Bunny!

Oh, Hildy.

How's the patient? Where is the patient?

She went upstairs. Hildy,
what's upsetting your sister?

I wish I knew.

She seems to be under a severe strain,

and she's acting quite irrationally.

Now, you have this
prescription filled out.

It'll relax her. Try to keep
her as quiet as possible,

and by no means let her go on her own.

I'll try.

It may be, uh, may be just fatigue.

Then again, uh…

Well, you just call me if you need me.

Thank you, Doctor.

Goodbye.

Bud?

This is a prescription
for some medicine your

aunt Bunny needs.
Would you get it filled?

What's the matter with her?

There's not a single solitary
thing the matter with me, Hildy.

I'm really shocked at how
old Dr. Floyd is getting.

I think the poor old dear ought
to put himself out to pasture.

He thinks you ought to get some rest.

Why? I'm not the least bit tired.
He's the one who needs to rest.

Did you notice how his hand trembles?

He left this prescription for
something to help you relax.

Bud's going to the
drugstore to get it filled.

And while we're waiting, why don't
you just lie down and try to take it easy?

Mm-hm, and I can just
hear what people will say,

"Bunny didn't drop in to
see any of her old friends.

She's getting uppity,
and she puts on airs."

I can explain to them that
you weren't feeling well.

Bobbi Woodson used to be my
best friend. I've got to see her.

And Ben Braden. Do you remember that
excruciating crush he used to have on me?

Whatever happened to Ben?

He's still here. He runs the
television station. Now, listen, Bunny…

I could have married
that old boy. I've got

a good mind to walk in and surprise him.

Bunny, I don't want
you to leave this house.

Can't stand being cooped up in the house.

Sometimes in California when I get that
closed-in feeling, you know what I do?

I take off every stitch of clothes
and I jump in the old swimming pool

and I swim like a ring-a-ding fish.

That must be very
interesting for your neighbors.

Nobody's complained so far.

Bud, wanna go for a walk
and say "hey" to people?

The doctor wants you to rest.

He also said I needed some fresh air.

Will you at least wait until Bud comes

back from the drugstore
with your medicine?

I've got a better idea. I'll
drive to the drugstore with you.

What could be more
restful than a little drive?

Unless you're one of those
hot rodders. Are you, Bud?

Uh, no, no, no.

Well, I am. Well, are
you gonna come with me,

or are you gonna stand all day talking?

[THUNDER CRASHES]

Ring-a-ding!

Well, what do you
think of her, Aunt Bunny?

Ring-a-ding! She's real
cool, but call me Bunny!

"Aunt Bunny" sounds like the
housemother at the Playboy Club.

Um, Bud, is Mr. Gentry still the
caretaker over at the high school?

You mean old Methuselah?
You'd have to blow

the school up to get
rid of that old bird.

Well, be an angel and stop just long
enough for me to run in and say hello.

Yeah, hadn't we better
get your medicine first?

Bud, this is important.

Okay, okay.

Thank you.

So you finally got your
fill of Hollywood, huh?

No, I like it out there.
It's not what you think.

Oh, isn't it?

We heard about all those
hi-jinks you got into out there.

Can't say I'd be proud of it. Just
what brought you back here, Barbara?

Coming home was an impulse.

Well, you sure picked a day
for it. Founders' Day Picnic.

Not that you'd be interested.

Oh, but I am, Mr. Gentry.
That's why I need your help.

My help?

I want you to unlock the
doors to the school auditorium.

Now, some people may show up,
and if they do, I want you to let them in.

No, I can't do that, I've
got to go to the picnic.

Mr. Gentry, I know you don't like me,

but this is important.
Terribly important.

Always asking favors.

Always wanted to be
treated like somebody special.

Barbara Blake. Well, Barbara,

maybe you forgot that these
doors are open all day long.

Now, you want to come here,
you walk in like anybody else.

Thank you, Mr. Gentry.

Mr. Gentry, don't go to that picnic.

[THUNDER CRASHES]

Well, what do you think
of the old town, Bunny?

It's so good I wonder why I left it.

Why did you leave it?

Oh, I guess I could have stayed here

and done Blithe Spirit
at the little theater,

and played an angel at the
church pageant at Christmastime,

but I was too ambitious and too talented.

I don't mean that the way it
sounded, but I just knew I had a talent,

and I had to find a place to let it
grow. Otherwise, it would have died.

And I would have ended
up a frustrated woman

pushing a broom around a house I hated

and screaming at a brood
of children I couldn't stand.

Can you understand that, Bud?

Yeah. Yeah, I can understand that, Bunny.

Oh, here's your prescription.
You wanna to go home?

Um, the television station's
still down the street?

Yeah, right over there.

Mm-hm, well, I'll be back.

[PHONE RINGING]

Hello?

No, I don't have it on.

She is?

Well, yes, of course I
knew she was in town, but I…

She's supposed to be
at the drugstore with Bud.

All right, Clara. I'll call you later.

And I can't tell you how
exciting it is to be home again.

Are you gonna be with us
for a nice, long visit, Bunny?

I have to leave tonight. I'm
starting a new picture in Rome.

Oh, that's too bad. A lot of
your friends won't get to see you.

They can if they want to. Remember
that one-woman show I did in Las Vegas?

We read about it.

I'm putting it on this afternoon
in the high school auditorium.

And I want everyone in
town to come as my guest.

You know, everybody here at
home has always been so nice to me.

It's kind of a token of my appreciation.

Looks like we've got a conflict.

The Founders' Day Picnic
starts this afternoon.

Well, all I've got to say is, folks have
a choice of coming to see me at 3:00.

Or going to Riverside Park
and getting bit by a bunch of ants.

[CHUCKLING]

I don't know anything about it. I
thought she was down at the drugstore,

and the next thing I
know, here she is on TV.

Oh, I don't know which I'll go to.

The way I feel now, I'm so ashamed I
don't wanna show my face anywhere.

I'll call you back.

Bunny? I'm trying very hard
not to get angry with you,

because I think you have lost your mind.

Ooh, buddy boy, I told
you there'd be an explosion.

Bud, you may be excused.

This is nothing to joke about.

Half a dozen people
have called me already.

What did they say?

They're confused. They wanna know
whether to go to the Founders' Day Picnic

or this thing you're putting
on at the high school.

Bunny, what are you trying to do?

I owe this town something, Hildy.

It's just my way of paying off a debt.

Well, it doesn't look like
that. You look like a show-off.

A big Hollywood celebrity who's trying
to impress a lot of small-town hicks.

Sis, let's not fight.

Well, I can't condone what you're doing.

I think it's best that Bud
and I show up at the picnic.

Is that Howardville down there,
Bunny? That flyspeck next to the river?

Is that the place you wanna go back to?

Forget it, Bunny.

Hildy?

Oh, honey, if this performance
means so much to you, we'll be there.

Bunny, we're late.

Well, one thing's for sure. They
can't start the show until I get there.

Bud? Bud? Bud, we're waiting.

I can't find my blue tie.

Well, wear another one. We're late.

[THUNDER CRASHES]

You'd better fire your weatherman.

Bud, hurry!

I'm coming!

Remember when we used
to lie in bed on rainy nights

and call to each other when we were kids?

Fun, wasn't it, being kids?

It was very good.

Looks like it's
starting to rain a little.

We'll just have to brave it.
I've got an audience waiting.

I'll get some raincoats.

Oh, no, sis. You're going in style.

Ladies and gentlemen,
this is your captain speaking.

We're running into a
little rough weather,

so fasten your seat belts,
please. It might be a little bumpy.

It's gonna get rough. Scared, honey?

Natch. Isn't everyone?

[THUNDER CRASHES]

What was that for?

Hildy.

Yes?

Thank you.

For what?

Just for being my sister.

Holy cow, listen to that!

Fire engines and ambulances!

[SIRENS WAILING]

Turn on the radio.

Goodbye, Hildy.

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello? Yes, what is it?

[THUNDER CRASHES]

Yes, Jim.

I'm out at the park. I
thought you ought to know.

Know what, Jim?

It's terrible, Hildy, horrible.
I've never seen anything like it.

Jim, will you please tell me
what you're talking about?

The plane crash. Happened
just a few minutes ago.

What crash?

Passenger jet. LA to New York.

That storm just… just tore it apart.

It landed right in the
middle of the picnic grounds.

Hildy, your sister, Bunny,

Bunny's dead, Hildy.

Dead? Why, that's crazy.

She was a passenger on that plane.

She and another woman were
sitting right next to each other.

I just… I just saw them.

Jim, my sister is right here now.

I saw the body, Hildy.

Bunny Blake is dead.

I'm sorry I have to be
the one to tell you, but…

TV PRESENTER:
Governor Nathan has requested federal aid.

Bunny? Bunny!

Bunny! Bunny!

Bunny, where are you?

Bunny?

Bunny! Bunny, where are you?!

Most of the local citizens
had planned to join

the annual Founders' Day celebration.

A disaster of major proportions
was averted by the fact

that most of the citizens in
town are safe at this moment

attending an announced performance
by our local celebrity, Bunny Blake.

How many more would have
died had they attended the picnic?

Fortunately for them, Howardville
chose to see Bunny Blake.

Eyewitnesses at the scene of the crash

say Bunny was a passenger
aboard the ill-fated plane.

But other witnesses have sworn she
was here in Howardville this afternoon

visiting her sister.

Until the mystery is unraveled,
only one thing is certain:

Bunny Blake is dead.

Meanwhile, local citizens are
asked to stay away from the area.

All Howardville fire engine
companies are at the scene.

Police have blocked the
Founders' Day picnic grounds,

and we repeat, local citizens
are asked to avoid the area.

Names of the victims are being
withheld, pending identification.

NARRATOR: We are all travelers.

The trip starts in a place called Birth,

and ends in that lonely town called
Death. And that's the end of the journey,

unless you happen to exist
for a few hours like Bunny Blake

in the misty regions
of the Twilight Zone.

PRESENTER: And now, Mr. Serling.

On Twilight Zone next time again
the services of Earl Hamner Jr.,

in a strange story, a strange conclusion
and a very unusual brand of justice,

dramatized in a show called "You Drive."

It's the story of a hit-and-run driver in
a very special kind of an automobile.

A consummately fine actor
named Edward Andrews

lives out a nightmare partly of his own
making. On Twilight Zone, "You Drive."

I hope you're going to watch it with us.
