1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,100

( music playing )

2
00:00:30,020 --> 00:00:31,100

NARRATOR: <i>Starring tonight,,,</i>

3
00:00:31,100 --> 00:00:33,070

<i>Robert F, Lyons,</i>

4
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,180

<i>Susan Strasberg,</i>

5
00:00:37,210 --> 00:00:40,000

<i>and Glenn Corbett,</i>

6
00:00:43,210 --> 00:00:45,040

A most cordial welcome

7
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,010

to this nocturnal arcade

8
00:00:47,010 --> 00:00:48,180

featuring canvasses

that are sometimes

9
00:00:48,180 --> 00:00:51,060

a bit on the peculiar side,

10
00:00:51,060 --> 00:00:53,060

sometimes uncommon,

11
00:00:53,060 --> 00:00:55,030

sometimes a few frescos

12
00:00:55,030 --> 00:00:57,160

of the freakish,

13
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,220

Tonight's first selection,

14
00:00:59,220 --> 00:01:02,100

a painting

suggesting solitude,

15
00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:04,060

or at least solemnity,

16
00:01:04,060 --> 00:01:06,230

As viewed

during the midnight hour,

17
00:01:06,230 --> 00:01:08,140

it tells a tale

of two young people

18
00:01:08,140 --> 00:01:09,160

caught inexorably

19
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,160

in a recurring nightmare,

20
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,140

with a finale

on the jolting side,

21
00:01:14,140 --> 00:01:17,200

Our painting with the somewhat

familiar face

22
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,010

is called

"Midnight Never Ends"

23
00:01:20,010 --> 00:01:22,080

and this is the Night Gallery,

24
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,060

( music playing )

25
00:02:11,210 --> 00:02:13,070

Do you want a ride

or don't you?

26
00:02:13,070 --> 00:02:15,060

Yes ma'am,

27
00:02:32,060 --> 00:02:34,070

Going to Los Angeles?

28
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,010

Do you live there?

29
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,090

I asked if you live there?

30
00:02:43,090 --> 00:02:44,100

No,

31
00:02:49,030 --> 00:02:51,000

Visiting?

32
00:02:52,030 --> 00:02:54,030

Vacation?

33
00:02:59,020 --> 00:03:02,000

( whistling melody )

34
00:03:03,190 --> 00:03:05,220

What's that tune

you're whistling?

35
00:03:07,220 --> 00:03:10,120

It's part of a song, why?

36
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,100

It's been running over

and over in my head

37
00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:14,050

and I can't think

of the name of it,

38
00:03:14,050 --> 00:03:16,030

Oh, I don't think so,

39
00:03:16,030 --> 00:03:18,210

I just wrote

that song this evening,

40
00:03:18,210 --> 00:03:20,110

That's impossible,

41
00:03:20,110 --> 00:03:23,070

Why? Because

I'm in this uniform?

42
00:03:23,070 --> 00:03:25,230

This is only temporary,

43
00:03:25,230 --> 00:03:28,170

Well, I like to write songs,

44
00:03:28,170 --> 00:03:30,170

Just as soon as I get out,

45
00:03:30,170 --> 00:03:32,110

What?

46
00:03:32,110 --> 00:03:33,170

Get out, what?

47
00:03:35,150 --> 00:03:37,120

I don't know,

48
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,110

Hey, has that ever

happened to you before?

49
00:03:44,110 --> 00:03:46,170

I mean--I mean sometimes

I know exactly

50
00:03:46,170 --> 00:03:50,090

what's gonna happen

when I shouldn't,

51
00:03:50,090 --> 00:03:52,030

And then

when I should at least

52
00:03:52,030 --> 00:03:54,140

have an idea, nothing,

53
00:03:54,140 --> 00:03:56,150

It's like I've got

a complete wipe-out,

54
00:03:59,030 --> 00:04:02,110

You take tomorrow,,,

55
00:04:02,110 --> 00:04:04,120

I don't know if it's even

going to come or not,

56
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,210

But standing out there

in the dark,

57
00:04:14,050 --> 00:04:15,140

I knew it would be you

58
00:04:15,140 --> 00:04:17,070

picking me up, Ruth,

59
00:04:18,210 --> 00:04:20,150

How did you know

my name was Ruth?

60
00:04:20,150 --> 00:04:22,200

VINCENT: That's what

I've been telling you,

61
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,060

It's like I've lived

all of this before,

62
00:04:30,020 --> 00:04:31,220

Yeah, I'm sure of it,

63
00:04:31,220 --> 00:04:34,150

That's why you know

my name too,

64
00:04:36,220 --> 00:04:38,190

Vincent,

65
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,000

Vincent Riley,

66
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,150

VINCENT: Give that lady

a big fat cigar,

67
00:04:48,150 --> 00:04:50,110

No, we must have met

somewhere else,

68
00:04:50,110 --> 00:04:51,130

Where?

69
00:04:51,130 --> 00:04:54,010

I don't remember,

70
00:04:54,010 --> 00:04:56,200

Try, Tell me some of the places

that you've been,

71
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,160

I think I--

72
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,210

I remember being

in Hong Kong,

73
00:05:02,210 --> 00:05:05,010

Hong Kong?

74
00:05:05,010 --> 00:05:07,000

Hong Kong, what were you

doing there?

75
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,170

RUTH: Don't laugh, I--

76
00:05:08,170 --> 00:05:11,000

I think I was a spy,

77
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,070

VINCENT: Hmm, that's--

that's beautiful,

78
00:05:13,070 --> 00:05:16,210

I wish I knew you as a spy,

79
00:05:16,210 --> 00:05:18,010

Only if you were,

I wouldn't know it,

80
00:05:18,010 --> 00:05:19,170

would I?

81
00:05:19,170 --> 00:05:22,100

Not if you were a good spy,

82
00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:24,100

Besides, I don't think

I've even been

83
00:05:24,100 --> 00:05:26,040

to Hong Kong,

84
00:05:28,020 --> 00:05:30,040

Were you ever in Dodge City?

85
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,040

I mean the old Dodge City

with Wyatt Earp

86
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,020

- and Doc Holliday,

- RUTH: ( laughs )

87
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:37,180

VINCENT: Hey,

88
00:05:37,180 --> 00:05:39,050

Come on, I didn't laugh at you,

89
00:05:40,180 --> 00:05:42,150

I'm sorry,

90
00:05:45,060 --> 00:05:46,100

Well, I was there,

91
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:49,020

Sometime, I think, some,,,

92
00:06:09,010 --> 00:06:10,170

I'm so tired of driving,

93
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,110

A new song?

94
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,130

It's all a trick or--or ESP,

95
00:06:22,130 --> 00:06:25,010

You probably do magic

and get people up on stage

96
00:06:25,010 --> 00:06:27,050

and hypnotize them,

97
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,050

There's a place,

a little ways up the road,

98
00:06:34,050 --> 00:06:35,190

A place for what?

99
00:06:35,190 --> 00:06:37,210

You were supposed to ask me

if I knew some place

100
00:06:37,210 --> 00:06:40,070

where we could stop for coffee,

101
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,200

Maybe that's why

we have to keep doing this

102
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,090

over and over

until we get it right,

103
00:06:48,130 --> 00:06:50,090

It'll be closed,

104
00:06:50,090 --> 00:06:52,170

But we get him

to open up,

105
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,010

A big fat man,

106
00:06:56,010 --> 00:06:58,170

playing solitaire,

107
00:06:58,170 --> 00:07:01,060

He's gruff,

108
00:07:01,060 --> 00:07:02,200

He didn't like us,

109
00:07:10,130 --> 00:07:12,210

The Blue Danube Cafe,

110
00:07:12,210 --> 00:07:14,130

Let's not stop,

111
00:07:14,130 --> 00:07:16,060

You've got the wheel,

112
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,070

It's still open,

113
00:07:39,130 --> 00:07:42,040

What are we waiting for?

Let's go inside,

114
00:07:49,210 --> 00:07:51,140

Another mistake,

115
00:07:53,010 --> 00:07:54,180

Wonder if we'll have

to start again?

116
00:08:02,090 --> 00:08:04,180

I guess not,

117
00:08:09,010 --> 00:08:10,130

What are you doing with that?

118
00:08:10,130 --> 00:08:12,140

I didn't know I had it,

119
00:08:16,170 --> 00:08:19,010

It changes a little each time,

120
00:08:20,060 --> 00:08:22,130

He's not sure what he wants,

121
00:08:22,130 --> 00:08:23,180

Who?

122
00:08:23,180 --> 00:08:25,100

Whoever is playing

with our lives,

123
00:08:40,210 --> 00:08:43,180

( wind-blown objects clatter )

124
00:08:53,180 --> 00:08:55,230

( clattering continues )

125
00:08:58,150 --> 00:09:00,070

( clatter stops )

126
00:09:17,070 --> 00:09:20,040

Maybe he won't let us in,

127
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,030

Like maybe he has a choice?

128
00:09:22,030 --> 00:09:24,210

( knocks on door )

129
00:09:24,210 --> 00:09:26,170

Closed!

130
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,050

VINCENT: We want some coffee,

131
00:09:31,050 --> 00:09:33,000

I can afford

to lose the business,

132
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,120

VINCENT: Come on,

give us a break,

133
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,040

That's just what

I'd like to give you,

134
00:09:46,150 --> 00:09:48,180

You read English?

135
00:09:48,180 --> 00:09:52,000

What, 6:00 AM to midnight

ain't enough hours for me?

136
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,160

It's not midnight yet,

137
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,040

Are you telling me?

138
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,170

Take a look at that clock there,

139
00:10:05,010 --> 00:10:06,190

All right, What now?

140
00:10:06,190 --> 00:10:08,010

Are you telling me?

141
00:10:08,010 --> 00:10:10,060

Take a look at that clock there,

142
00:10:15,070 --> 00:10:17,160

All right, come in,

but just coffee,

143
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,080

What do you want to bet

he cheats?

144
00:10:36,210 --> 00:10:39,090

Black eight,,,

145
00:10:39,090 --> 00:10:40,140

on a black nine,

146
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,030

She's right,

147
00:10:53,070 --> 00:10:55,050

That's 20 cents,

148
00:10:57,060 --> 00:10:58,060

Keep it,

149
00:10:59,170 --> 00:11:02,120

You kids got it too easy,

150
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,150

Are you sure

you're in the marines?

151
00:11:04,150 --> 00:11:06,110

According to this uniform,

152
00:11:06,110 --> 00:11:08,060

The uniform

doesn't mean a thing,

153
00:11:08,060 --> 00:11:10,150

I got hippies coming in here

all day wearing the uniforms,

154
00:11:10,150 --> 00:11:12,010

They get them at the surplus,

155
00:11:12,010 --> 00:11:14,050

It's disgrace to the country,

156
00:11:14,050 --> 00:11:15,190

I can remember

when I was--

157
00:11:17,140 --> 00:11:19,120

when I was,,,

158
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,210

When you were what?

159
00:11:21,210 --> 00:11:23,070

When I,,,

160
00:11:23,070 --> 00:11:25,040

Welcome to the family,

161
00:11:26,130 --> 00:11:27,190

Family?

162
00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:29,070

What family?

163
00:11:29,070 --> 00:11:31,120

You two are hippies, ain't you?

164
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,230

Hippies?

165
00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:34,100

Bateman?

166
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,010

Your name is Joe Bateman,

isn't it?

167
00:11:40,030 --> 00:11:41,140

You better drink your coffee up

and get out of here,

168
00:11:41,140 --> 00:11:43,060

You only got

a couple more minutes,

169
00:11:46,230 --> 00:11:50,020

We all only have

a couple of more minutes,

170
00:11:50,020 --> 00:11:53,070

Yeah, it's all

coming back, Ruth,

171
00:11:53,070 --> 00:11:54,220

Who's coming back?

172
00:11:54,220 --> 00:11:57,160

What are you two freaks

talking about?

173
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,000

Someone else joins us,

174
00:12:03,100 --> 00:12:05,150

Uninvited,

175
00:12:05,150 --> 00:12:08,180

If you think another member

of your family is coming,,,

176
00:12:08,180 --> 00:12:10,080

Policeman,

177
00:12:11,230 --> 00:12:14,020

Sheriff, sees the door open,

178
00:12:17,210 --> 00:12:19,210

Another mistake,

179
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,170

Sheriff,

180
00:12:26,170 --> 00:12:28,170

sees the door open,

181
00:12:30,100 --> 00:12:32,200

Comes in to check,

182
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,100

Are you two

running from the cops?

183
00:12:35,100 --> 00:12:38,080

( tapping noises )

184
00:12:45,060 --> 00:12:47,220

( car approaches )

185
00:12:47,220 --> 00:12:49,160

Right on cue,

186
00:12:53,020 --> 00:12:55,050

( tapping continues )

187
00:13:04,060 --> 00:13:06,080

( tapping )

188
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,160

What's that noise?

189
00:13:09,090 --> 00:13:11,080

Air conditioner, furnace?

190
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,060

No,

191
00:13:13,060 --> 00:13:15,220

I think--

I know what it is,

192
00:13:21,030 --> 00:13:22,150

Hey, who are you two?

193
00:13:22,150 --> 00:13:24,080

Puppets,

194
00:13:26,010 --> 00:13:28,050

Do you know 'em, Joe?

195
00:13:28,050 --> 00:13:31,060

Never seen 'em before,

196
00:13:31,060 --> 00:13:33,200

Oh sure, you have Joe,

197
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,060

Come on, you remember,

198
00:13:35,060 --> 00:13:37,060

We've all been

through this all before,

199
00:13:38,180 --> 00:13:40,140

Your on some kind of trip

or something?

200
00:13:40,140 --> 00:13:42,160

VINCENT: Oh, brother, am I,

201
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,070

We all are,

202
00:13:44,070 --> 00:13:45,190

This is a trip

that never seems to end

203
00:13:45,190 --> 00:13:47,130

and goes nowhere,

204
00:13:47,130 --> 00:13:49,000

You got any papers?

205
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,130

What for?

He's not a show dog,

206
00:13:51,130 --> 00:13:53,150

I wasn't talking to you,

207
00:13:59,060 --> 00:14:00,160

You traveling with him?

208
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,100

I'm giving him a lift, yes,

209
00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:03,180

Uh-hmm,

210
00:14:03,180 --> 00:14:05,100

That your car outside?

211
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:07,180

It's the one I'm driving now,

212
00:14:07,180 --> 00:14:09,130

What do you mean now?

213
00:14:11,010 --> 00:14:12,180

Before it was,,,

214
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,040

a station wagon,

215
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,140

That's right,

216
00:14:21,190 --> 00:14:24,010

Let me see

your driver's license,

217
00:14:26,140 --> 00:14:28,090

I don't have one,

218
00:14:28,090 --> 00:14:30,230

Car registration?

219
00:14:30,230 --> 00:14:33,110

Not that I know of,

220
00:14:33,110 --> 00:14:34,170

Uh-hmm,

221
00:14:36,230 --> 00:14:38,050

And I supposed you don't have

222
00:14:38,050 --> 00:14:40,230

any identification, either?

223
00:14:40,230 --> 00:14:43,130

Oh, well, I have a guitar

224
00:14:43,130 --> 00:14:45,180

and I have a notepad

with a song on it

225
00:14:45,180 --> 00:14:47,010

that I wrote,

would you like to hear it?

226
00:14:47,010 --> 00:14:50,150

You stay

right where you are,

227
00:14:50,150 --> 00:14:53,180

When I was in the marines,

I carried a rifle, not a guitar,

228
00:14:53,180 --> 00:14:55,220

When was that, Sheriff?

229
00:14:55,220 --> 00:14:57,150

I--

230
00:15:02,030 --> 00:15:03,070

I--

231
00:15:04,140 --> 00:15:06,090

It's none of your business,

232
00:15:06,090 --> 00:15:07,230

VINCENT: You can't remember

because there's nothing

233
00:15:07,230 --> 00:15:10,190

up there to remember,

234
00:15:10,190 --> 00:15:12,150

Are you--are you saying

I'm stupid?

235
00:15:12,150 --> 00:15:13,200

VINCENT: No,

236
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:14,200

I'm saying you didn't exist

237
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,070

until you drove up here,

238
00:15:19,220 --> 00:15:22,210

And Joe didn't exist

until we arrived here,

239
00:15:22,210 --> 00:15:25,010

You really are on something,

aren't you, kid?

240
00:15:25,010 --> 00:15:26,100

VINCENT: Am I?

241
00:15:26,100 --> 00:15:28,030

Where were you born, Sheriff?

242
00:15:28,030 --> 00:15:30,130

What's your hometown?

243
00:15:30,130 --> 00:15:32,130

Your mother, your father?

244
00:15:34,170 --> 00:15:36,140

VINCENT: What are their names?

245
00:15:36,140 --> 00:15:39,000

How long have you been Sheriff?

246
00:15:41,190 --> 00:15:45,130

And you Joe, how long

have you owned this place?

247
00:15:45,130 --> 00:15:47,220

RUTH: How many people

did you serve today?

248
00:15:47,220 --> 00:15:50,060

What was the blue plate special?

249
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,140

I don't know,

250
00:15:55,010 --> 00:15:56,140

Because we don't exist,

251
00:15:56,140 --> 00:15:59,080

none of us,

252
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,070

Somebody's formed us

with chicken wire,

253
00:16:01,070 --> 00:16:03,020

They've hung on some ears

and lips and skin--

254
00:16:03,020 --> 00:16:05,210

the whole works,

255
00:16:05,210 --> 00:16:09,130

Except an ability

to choose our own destinies,

256
00:16:09,130 --> 00:16:11,090

( tapping )

257
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,060

I know what it is now,

258
00:16:20,060 --> 00:16:22,030

I'm sure of it,

259
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,180

And my destiny,

260
00:16:26,180 --> 00:16:28,130

for what it's worth,

261
00:16:28,130 --> 00:16:29,150

is to leave here,

262
00:16:29,150 --> 00:16:32,020

You go when I tell you to,

263
00:16:32,020 --> 00:16:34,160

No, not you, Sheriff,

someone else,

264
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,230

Someone who doesn't know

his job very well,

265
00:16:37,230 --> 00:16:39,200

Someone who doesn't really know

what to do with us--

266
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,180

and that's why we have

to keep doing this

267
00:16:41,180 --> 00:16:43,140

over and over,

268
00:16:43,140 --> 00:16:45,150

Now you stay

right where you are,

269
00:16:49,060 --> 00:16:50,190

Vince,

270
00:16:50,190 --> 00:16:53,020

VINCENT: I really don't

have any choice, Ruth,

271
00:16:53,020 --> 00:16:54,060

I have to try,

272
00:16:54,060 --> 00:16:56,090

Now, you take one more step,,,

273
00:16:56,090 --> 00:16:58,010

Any way I can,

274
00:16:58,010 --> 00:16:59,140

because that's the way,,,

275
00:16:59,140 --> 00:17:01,000

( gunshot )

276
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,140

,,,someone wants it to be,

277
00:17:13,210 --> 00:17:16,190

( tapping )

278
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,100

( typewriter keys tapping )

279
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,030

RUTH: Why did you

give her a gun?

280
00:17:49,030 --> 00:17:52,010

Well, I'm really not sure,

281
00:17:52,010 --> 00:17:55,080

Maybe she killed someone

and she's running away,

282
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,130

RUTH: I thought writers knew

before they started out

283
00:17:57,130 --> 00:17:59,120

where they were going,

284
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,120

Well, just the good ones,

darling,

285
00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:06,210

RUTH: Ruth seems familiar to me,

286
00:18:08,190 --> 00:18:10,170

Should she be?

287
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:17,010

Well, she's from

an old play that I wrote,

288
00:18:17,010 --> 00:18:20,050

Uh,,,

289
00:18:20,050 --> 00:18:23,020

it's about a spy from Hong Kong,

290
00:18:23,020 --> 00:18:24,180

RUTH: And the marine?

291
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,120

From a TV Western,

292
00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:30,190

Guitar and all,

293
00:18:33,190 --> 00:18:37,020

Well, it's back

to the battlefield,

294
00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:42,030

RUTH: You know

who I think Ruth killed?

295
00:18:44,010 --> 00:18:46,150

Her husband,,,

296
00:18:46,150 --> 00:18:49,000

because he left her alone

too many nights,

297
00:18:52,010 --> 00:18:54,070

Good night, love,

298
00:20:09,140 --> 00:20:11,160

Do you want a ride

or don't you?

299
00:20:12,230 --> 00:20:15,000

Yes, ma'am,

300
00:20:19,060 --> 00:20:21,040

( thunder rumbling )

301
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,130

Going to Los Angeles?

302
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,140

There's something

rather remarkable

303
00:20:50,140 --> 00:20:54,000

in the scope of imagination,

peculiar to children,

304
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,190

They project and dream

and fantasize

305
00:20:56,190 --> 00:20:59,090

with beauty and simplicity

and faith

306
00:20:59,090 --> 00:21:00,210

in a manner

that somehow eludes us

307
00:21:00,210 --> 00:21:02,160

as we grow older,

308
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,020

This is Brenda

309
00:21:04,020 --> 00:21:06,070

and Brenda has playmate,

310
00:21:06,070 --> 00:21:09,000

It comes to her in part

because of loneliness,

311
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,200

and what I wish for you

312
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,200

is that you never get

that lonely,

313
00:22:42,070 --> 00:22:45,050

( making growling noises )

314
00:23:02,170 --> 00:23:05,050

No, Brenda, no!

315
00:23:05,050 --> 00:23:06,220

( gasps )

316
00:23:08,220 --> 00:23:11,020

Oh, you're so mean!

317
00:23:12,150 --> 00:23:15,070

Why are you so nasty,

so mean?!

318
00:23:15,070 --> 00:23:17,000

Why Frances Anne,

319
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,120

I thought

you never spoke to me?

320
00:23:19,120 --> 00:23:22,100

What have I done

to deserve this honor?

321
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:24,120

You know what you did!

322
00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:26,070

You did it on purpose!

323
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,090

Did I do that? Did I?

324
00:23:32,090 --> 00:23:35,050

I'm sorry, honest, I am,

325
00:23:35,050 --> 00:23:37,090

But maybe you oughtn't to stick

your stupid stuff

326
00:23:37,090 --> 00:23:38,190

in everybody's way,

327
00:23:38,190 --> 00:23:41,000

It wasn't in your way,

328
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,110

- You went <i>out</i> of your way!

- Now, don't be silly, Frances,

329
00:23:44,110 --> 00:23:46,210

Why would anybody do that?

330
00:23:50,100 --> 00:23:53,040

Come on,

331
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,160

be my friend,

332
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,210

We can go to the old pit

333
00:23:56,210 --> 00:23:59,050

and look for fossils,

334
00:23:59,050 --> 00:24:02,160

FRANCES ANNE: Nobody on this

island wants to be your friend

335
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,170

and nobody wants to be around

336
00:24:04,170 --> 00:24:07,070

that rotten old pit!

337
00:24:07,070 --> 00:24:10,020

Well, I'd rather be around

something rotten

338
00:24:10,020 --> 00:24:11,200

than have a friend like you,

339
00:25:52,190 --> 00:25:55,120

( growling )

340
00:27:34,210 --> 00:27:36,030

Here I am,

341
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,110

Can you see me?

342
00:27:50,060 --> 00:27:51,190

Can't catch me,

343
00:27:56,100 --> 00:27:58,150

I bet you can't,

344
00:30:37,220 --> 00:30:39,130

BRENDA: Hello,

345
00:30:41,010 --> 00:30:43,030

You can't get out, can you?

346
00:30:47,170 --> 00:30:49,060

( laughing )

347
00:30:49,060 --> 00:30:52,160

BRENDA: No,

No, you can't get out,

348
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,100

I just think you better

just stay there,

349
00:31:02,110 --> 00:31:05,000

( laughs )

350
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,070

Now, the first thing

in the morning,

351
00:31:20,070 --> 00:31:22,210

you will march over

to Frances Anne's

352
00:31:22,210 --> 00:31:24,130

and you will apologize

to her mother and father,

353
00:31:24,130 --> 00:31:25,230

do you hear me?

354
00:31:25,230 --> 00:31:29,000

For kicking over

some stupid old sand piles?

355
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,070

No,

356
00:31:30,070 --> 00:31:33,010

For deliberate

and malicious mischief,

357
00:31:33,010 --> 00:31:35,000

Do you ever wonder, Brenda,

when you do things like this

358
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,090

why the other kids

on the island

359
00:31:36,090 --> 00:31:38,010

won't have anything

to do with you?

360
00:31:38,010 --> 00:31:39,080

No,

361
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,210

You don't wonder?

362
00:31:40,210 --> 00:31:42,210

I mean, I know why they don't,

363
00:31:45,170 --> 00:31:47,060

Six other families

on this island,

364
00:31:47,060 --> 00:31:49,080

you've managed to alienate

365
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,180

every other kid on the island,

366
00:31:51,180 --> 00:31:54,090

And finally, Frances Anne,

367
00:31:54,090 --> 00:31:56,170

But you will apologize

to her mother and father,

368
00:31:56,170 --> 00:31:57,190

Okay, okay,

369
00:31:57,190 --> 00:32:00,130

Her mother and father like me,

370
00:32:00,130 --> 00:32:03,000

Well, they really don't, Brenda,

371
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,020

They like your manners

and your politeness

372
00:32:05,020 --> 00:32:06,200

because your mother and I

taught you

373
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,030

those good manners

and that politeness,

374
00:32:09,030 --> 00:32:10,180

Now, nobody likes

a little girl who goes around

375
00:32:10,180 --> 00:32:12,040

doing bad things,

376
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,230

Even when I apologize?

377
00:32:16,060 --> 00:32:18,070

That doesn't alter the badness,

378
00:32:18,070 --> 00:32:19,190

Now, doing something good

379
00:32:19,190 --> 00:32:21,210

doesn't make the bad

any better,

380
00:32:21,210 --> 00:32:23,180

Well, what does

make bad any better?

381
00:32:23,180 --> 00:32:26,010

RICHARD: Nothing,

They are two, separate

382
00:32:26,010 --> 00:32:29,000

and distinct things,

I've told you that,

383
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,180

About the doors,

384
00:32:30,180 --> 00:32:32,210

The doors, yes,

385
00:32:32,210 --> 00:32:35,010

In each of us,

there are two separate

386
00:32:35,010 --> 00:32:36,140

and distinct doors,

387
00:32:36,140 --> 00:32:39,000

Behind the first,

good is waiting,

388
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,140

Behind the second,,,

389
00:32:40,140 --> 00:32:41,210

Evil,

390
00:32:41,210 --> 00:32:43,110

RICHARD: Yes,

391
00:32:43,110 --> 00:32:45,010

Now, neither one can get in

392
00:32:45,010 --> 00:32:47,170

and neither one can live

unless you let it in,

393
00:32:47,170 --> 00:32:49,140

unless you open the doors,

394
00:32:49,140 --> 00:32:52,090

And the choice is always yours,

395
00:32:52,090 --> 00:32:53,170

But, how do you know

the difference

396
00:32:53,170 --> 00:32:55,060

when the doors are closed?

397
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:58,190

That'll be enough

of your smart mouth

398
00:32:58,190 --> 00:33:00,130

for one afternoon,

399
00:33:00,130 --> 00:33:01,200

On your way up to your room,

400
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,170

you can remove

your place setting

401
00:33:03,170 --> 00:33:04,220

from the dinner table

since you won't be having

402
00:33:04,220 --> 00:33:06,150

dinner with us at all,

403
00:33:06,150 --> 00:33:08,180

- Oh, that's all right,

- It's not all right!

404
00:33:08,180 --> 00:33:10,040

I'll decide what's

right and wrong!

405
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,040

Now, get in the house!

406
00:33:14,220 --> 00:33:16,170

BRENDA: Hello,

How are you?

407
00:33:16,170 --> 00:33:18,140

I don't like you,

Why not?

408
00:33:18,140 --> 00:33:20,120

( laughs )

409
00:33:28,020 --> 00:33:31,000

( growls )

410
00:33:39,180 --> 00:33:41,130

( laughs )

411
00:33:41,130 --> 00:33:43,060

RICHARD: Brenda?

412
00:33:43,060 --> 00:33:45,000

What are you doing in there?

413
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,000

Go to sleep,

414
00:34:01,170 --> 00:34:05,030

Very well, Brenda,

We accept your apology,

415
00:34:05,030 --> 00:34:06,230

Don't we, Frances Anne?

416
00:34:06,230 --> 00:34:10,030

Oh, I guess so,

417
00:34:10,030 --> 00:34:11,230

I accept your apology,

418
00:34:11,230 --> 00:34:14,010

Thank you, Frances Anne,

419
00:34:15,230 --> 00:34:18,180

Hey, would you like

to see what I found?

420
00:34:18,180 --> 00:34:20,180

FRANCES: I have to help

with the housework,

421
00:34:20,180 --> 00:34:22,220

BRENDA: Oh, come on, won't you

let her off, Mrs, Emsden?

422
00:34:22,220 --> 00:34:24,060

Just for a little while,

423
00:34:24,060 --> 00:34:26,020

just so she could see

what I found,

424
00:34:26,020 --> 00:34:27,190

What did you find, Brenda?

425
00:34:27,190 --> 00:34:31,020

- It's something funny,

- ELIZABETH: Funny?

426
00:34:31,020 --> 00:34:33,120

Well, it's kind of queer,

427
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,140

Can't she come?

428
00:34:35,140 --> 00:34:38,160

I'll leave that entirely up

to Frances Anne,

429
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:39,220

Oh, come on,

430
00:34:39,220 --> 00:34:41,100

It's all right with your mother,

431
00:34:41,100 --> 00:34:43,030

And it's more fun

that housework,

432
00:34:43,030 --> 00:34:46,000

- Just come and see it,

- FRANCES: I like housework,

433
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,110

And I don't want to see it,

434
00:34:50,130 --> 00:34:52,140

It isn't anything anyway,

435
00:34:52,140 --> 00:34:54,130

It is, too,

436
00:34:54,130 --> 00:34:55,230

I don't care,

437
00:34:55,230 --> 00:34:58,170

Whatever it is,

I'm just not interested,

438
00:34:58,170 --> 00:35:00,220

BRENDA:

But you'd like it, really,

439
00:35:00,220 --> 00:35:04,030

Brenda, Frances Anne's told you

she is not interested,

440
00:35:04,030 --> 00:35:06,180

Well, it seems to me

you've had your answer,

441
00:35:06,180 --> 00:35:09,170

Oh, all right,

442
00:35:09,170 --> 00:35:12,160

But you really don't know

what you're missing,

443
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,040

( waves crashing )

444
00:35:26,190 --> 00:35:27,190

Hello,

445
00:35:29,100 --> 00:35:32,020

I knew you'd still be here,

446
00:35:32,020 --> 00:35:33,100

Are you a man?

447
00:35:35,210 --> 00:35:37,060

I don't think you're a man,

448
00:35:37,060 --> 00:35:40,010

not like any other man,

449
00:35:40,010 --> 00:35:42,230

You're not like my father

or anyone like that,

450
00:35:42,230 --> 00:35:44,090

Where did you come from?

451
00:35:46,170 --> 00:35:47,210

Did you come from the island

452
00:35:47,210 --> 00:35:49,070

off the mainland?

453
00:35:51,130 --> 00:35:53,020

Did you come that night

454
00:35:53,020 --> 00:35:55,140

when the tide was so low

you could walk across it,

455
00:35:55,140 --> 00:35:57,060

where all that gummy,

scummy stuff

456
00:35:57,060 --> 00:35:59,020

is on at the bottom?

457
00:35:59,020 --> 00:36:00,140

Did you come then?

458
00:36:02,140 --> 00:36:04,180

Did you come on purpose?

459
00:36:07,190 --> 00:36:10,030

I don't think

you came on purpose,

460
00:36:11,100 --> 00:36:13,190

I think you came by accident,

461
00:36:13,190 --> 00:36:15,060

Well, not so much by accident,

462
00:36:15,060 --> 00:36:19,040

but I think

you're here by mistake,

463
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,050

And I know

why you didn't go back--

464
00:36:21,050 --> 00:36:23,170

because you can't swim,

465
00:36:25,100 --> 00:36:29,010

Because you would get

all drowned in the water,

466
00:36:39,010 --> 00:36:41,100

You're,,,you're old,

467
00:36:41,100 --> 00:36:43,040

aren't you?

468
00:36:45,130 --> 00:36:47,210

Yeah,

469
00:36:47,210 --> 00:36:50,190

Yeah, I think

you're very, very old,

470
00:36:52,180 --> 00:36:54,090

Yeah,

471
00:36:54,090 --> 00:36:56,050

I think you must've been

the way you are

472
00:36:56,050 --> 00:36:58,090

for a long, long time,

473
00:37:04,060 --> 00:37:06,160

What are you waiting for?

474
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,190

Do you wanna be born?

475
00:37:51,050 --> 00:37:52,130

Come on,

476
00:37:54,180 --> 00:37:55,200

Well, aren't you

gonna do anything

477
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,190

after all I've done for you?

478
00:37:57,190 --> 00:38:00,020

Come on, hurry up

before it gets dark,

479
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,140

Nuh-uh, you're not

getting any closer to me,

480
00:38:31,020 --> 00:38:32,170

RICHARD: Elizabeth exaggerates,

481
00:38:32,170 --> 00:38:34,170

If it wasn't a tramp,

who was it?

482
00:38:34,170 --> 00:38:37,050

FLORA: But nothing was taken,

only the roast chicken,

483
00:38:37,050 --> 00:38:39,210

And that wasn't eaten,

it was torn to pieces,

484
00:38:39,210 --> 00:38:41,050

Oh, and there was

something else,

485
00:38:41,050 --> 00:38:43,010

Elizabeth said

there was some sort of

486
00:38:43,010 --> 00:38:45,090

grayish slime

all over it,

487
00:38:47,150 --> 00:38:48,170

She said she was going to phone

488
00:38:48,170 --> 00:38:50,030

all the families on Moss Island

489
00:38:50,030 --> 00:38:52,020

to lock their doors

and bolt their windows,

490
00:38:52,020 --> 00:38:54,220

RICHARD: Hysterical,

FLORA: She's afraid,

491
00:38:54,220 --> 00:38:56,170

RICHARD: Now, there are only

six families on the island,

492
00:38:56,170 --> 00:38:59,100

and none of us went into her

kitchen and stole that chicken,

493
00:38:59,100 --> 00:39:00,190

so,,,

494
00:39:00,190 --> 00:39:01,180

Wait a minute,

495
00:39:04,210 --> 00:39:06,200

I knew it,

496
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,020

I knew you were there,

I could sense it,

497
00:39:09,020 --> 00:39:11,010

Now, you get back in your room,

498
00:39:11,010 --> 00:39:12,100

I won't have you

crouching in the dark

499
00:39:12,100 --> 00:39:13,210

and listening

behind doors,

500
00:39:13,210 --> 00:39:15,220

- Do you hear me, Brenda?

- Yes, Father,

501
00:41:52,050 --> 00:41:56,020

RICHARD: Flora,

call Elizabeth,,,

502
00:41:56,020 --> 00:41:57,060

and tell her

to have Jim come over

503
00:41:57,060 --> 00:41:58,140

and to bring his gun,

504
00:41:58,140 --> 00:41:59,190

- ( Flora laughs hysterically )

- Now!

505
00:41:59,190 --> 00:42:01,060

I don't know how long

506
00:42:01,060 --> 00:42:02,190

I can hold it off with this!

507
00:42:06,030 --> 00:42:07,160

How did it get in?

508
00:42:11,220 --> 00:42:13,110

Well?

509
00:42:13,110 --> 00:42:15,230

FLORA: He says that he's coming,

510
00:42:15,230 --> 00:42:18,130

But he doesn't think

that the gun will do any good,

511
00:42:18,130 --> 00:42:21,100

- RICHARD: Why not?

- FLORA: I don't know,

512
00:42:21,100 --> 00:42:24,120

He says that

he has another plan--

513
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,120

- ( hysterical )

- RICHARD: Snap out of it!

514
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,140

FLORA: Oh, I think I'm--

515
00:42:29,140 --> 00:42:31,190

I'm what you said Elizabeth--

516
00:42:31,190 --> 00:42:33,210

I think I'm--I'm hysterical!

517
00:42:33,210 --> 00:42:35,060

RICHARD: Flora, please!

518
00:42:35,060 --> 00:42:37,150

FLORA: Don't shoot, Rick!

519
00:42:37,150 --> 00:42:38,190

Now, you're going

to wake up Brenda,

520
00:42:38,190 --> 00:42:41,120

I do not want her to see this,

521
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:42,190

I don't think she could survive

522
00:42:42,190 --> 00:42:44,050

if she saw it,

523
00:42:50,070 --> 00:42:53,080

Rick! Flora!

Where do you have that thing?

524
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,040

RICHARD:

It's in the front hall, Jim!

525
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:56,230

JIM: All right now,

I'm coming in the back, Flora,

526
00:42:56,230 --> 00:42:59,120

Let me in,

527
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,140

RICHARD: Come on, let him in,

let him in,

528
00:43:01,140 --> 00:43:03,130

FLORA: Ohh,

529
00:43:11,070 --> 00:43:12,230

Oh, yeah,

530
00:43:12,230 --> 00:43:14,220

That's the thing we saw,

531
00:43:14,220 --> 00:43:16,100

It was over our place before,

532
00:43:16,100 --> 00:43:17,230

It had to be the same thing,

533
00:43:17,230 --> 00:43:19,060

Rick, I brought the gun

but I don't think

534
00:43:19,060 --> 00:43:20,180

it's gonna help,

535
00:43:20,180 --> 00:43:22,110

It's like shooting

into a pile of mud,

536
00:43:22,110 --> 00:43:23,150

( Flora laughs )

537
00:43:23,150 --> 00:43:25,230

Well then, what are we gonna--

538
00:43:25,230 --> 00:43:27,200

what are we gonna do?

539
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,120

I mean, I didn't think,,,

540
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,030

the thing could--

541
00:43:32,030 --> 00:43:33,120

Well, what are we gonna do,

Jim?!

542
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:34,220

Take it easy!

543
00:43:34,220 --> 00:43:37,070

Whatever it is,

it won't like this,

544
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,030

Here,

545
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:46,180

- See?

- Oh,

546
00:43:46,180 --> 00:43:48,030

It's working!

547
00:43:48,030 --> 00:43:50,130

- Well, we can't

just drive it out

548
00:43:50,130 --> 00:43:52,120

and leave it out there,

549
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:56,020

I mean,,,and we can't kill it,

can we?

550
00:43:56,020 --> 00:43:57,040

What are we gonna do, Jim?

551
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:58,130

One step at a time, Rick,

552
00:43:58,130 --> 00:44:00,000

Flora, call the other men

553
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,220

and send them down

to the old pit,

554
00:44:05,190 --> 00:44:07,160

- Up high?

- Go ahead, go,

555
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:10,150

RICHARD: Come on,

556
00:44:13,010 --> 00:44:15,170

RICHARD: No, no,

Don't get too close, Jim,

557
00:44:15,170 --> 00:44:17,090

JIM: Fine,

558
00:44:17,090 --> 00:44:18,170

Yeah,

559
00:44:18,170 --> 00:44:20,120

- All right, out,

- RICHARD: Jim,

560
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,080

- Don't get too close,

- JIM: Keep 'em up by his head,

561
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,060

All right, all right,

562
00:44:24,060 --> 00:44:26,090

- Get down,

- RICHARD: No, Jim, too close,

563
00:44:28,140 --> 00:44:30,040

RICHARD: Come on, Jim,

He's moving,

564
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:31,120

In the eyes still!

565
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:32,140

Get back there!

566
00:44:32,140 --> 00:44:33,200

We got him, we got him,

567
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,120

Just keep him going, we got him,

568
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,060

Watch out,

569
00:44:37,060 --> 00:44:39,040

Ha ha for our side,

can't kill it,

570
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,140

can't kill it,

can't kill a flea,

571
00:44:42,140 --> 00:44:44,220

JIM: Right now, come on,

Let's get him,

572
00:44:44,220 --> 00:44:46,040

Get him right there,

573
00:44:48,070 --> 00:44:50,150

RICHARD: He's still--

We got him!

574
00:45:13,030 --> 00:45:14,210

Brenda, what are you

doing there?

575
00:45:14,210 --> 00:45:16,110

Looking for you,

576
00:45:18,060 --> 00:45:20,220

What were you and the men

doing out all night?

577
00:45:20,220 --> 00:45:22,200

Never mind,

578
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,070

If I feel there's something

I ought to tell you,

579
00:45:24,070 --> 00:45:25,210

you'll be the first to know,

580
00:45:25,210 --> 00:45:28,130

Now, go on back to bed,

581
00:45:28,130 --> 00:45:30,120

Yes, sir,

582
00:45:34,090 --> 00:45:36,040

Yeah, let's go to bed,

I'm tired,

583
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:37,160

( birds chirping )

584
00:46:10,190 --> 00:46:13,170

Are you in there?

585
00:46:13,170 --> 00:46:15,140

Are you?

586
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,100

RICHARD: Brenda?

587
00:46:19,100 --> 00:46:21,050

Come up out of there, right now,

588
00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:23,040

You've got no business in there,

589
00:46:24,150 --> 00:46:27,020

Come on!

We're getting out of here,

590
00:46:27,020 --> 00:46:29,090

We're leaving

the island tonight,

591
00:46:29,090 --> 00:46:31,190

Tonight?

592
00:46:31,190 --> 00:46:33,040

Why?

593
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:34,090

Summer has ended, Brenda,

594
00:46:34,090 --> 00:46:37,120

I've got to get back to work,

595
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:40,010

But are we gonna

come back next year?

596
00:46:40,010 --> 00:46:43,030

RICHARD: Next year?

I don't know,

597
00:46:43,030 --> 00:46:45,050

I haven't decided

about next year,

598
00:46:45,050 --> 00:46:47,150

A lot of things

will be different then,

599
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,180

Will they?

600
00:46:51,180 --> 00:46:53,100

Now, come on,

601
00:47:40,020 --> 00:47:41,150

BRENDA: I'm back,

602
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:48,060

Did you hear me?

I've come back,

603
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:01,110

Oh, please,

604
00:48:01,110 --> 00:48:04,120

Don't-Don't be afraid,

605
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,010

Don't be quiet,

606
00:48:07,010 --> 00:48:08,210

Don't be dead,

607
00:48:08,210 --> 00:48:10,230

( creature growling )

608
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,010

I knew it,

609
00:48:19,010 --> 00:48:21,060

I knew you couldn't be dead,

610
00:48:23,170 --> 00:48:27,040

I've been on the island all day,

611
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:28,210

but they were watching,

612
00:48:30,170 --> 00:48:33,180

I'm sorry it took

so long to see you,

613
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,040

been a--a year,

614
00:48:38,110 --> 00:48:42,060

But that's nothing to you,

615
00:48:42,060 --> 00:48:44,160

Or two,

616
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,000

or three,

617
00:48:49,210 --> 00:48:52,010

Poor old thing,

618
00:48:53,220 --> 00:48:56,080

You waited so long,

619
00:48:58,050 --> 00:49:01,070

You've wanted,,,so much

to be born,

620
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,120

I love you,

621
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:10,230

( sobs)

622
00:49:10,230 --> 00:49:13,070

I'll always love you,

623
00:49:15,110 --> 00:49:18,000

You're the only one

I could ever love,

624
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,010

But I'll let you out,

I promise,

625
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,030

I'll give you life,

626
00:49:31,130 --> 00:49:33,220

I'll give you love,

627
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,130

Oh, yes,

628
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,000

Oh, yes,

629
00:49:52,130 --> 00:49:54,120

Oh, we'll be born together,

630
00:49:57,060 --> 00:49:59,190

We'll be born,

you and I together,
