1
00:00:06,757 --> 00:00:09,218
There is a fifth dimension

2
00:00:09,301 --> 00:00:11,512
beyond tha t
which is known to man.

3
00:00:11,595 --> 00:00:14,556
It is a dimension
as vastas space

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,351
and as timeless as infinity.

5
00:00:17,434 --> 00:00:21,188
It is the middle ground
between lightand shadow

6
00:00:21,271 --> 00:00:23,482
between science
and s upers ti tion

7
00:00:23,565 --> 00:00:26,235
and it lies between
the pit of man's fears

8
00:00:26,318 --> 00:00:29,488
and the summit of his knowledge.

9
00:00:29,571 --> 00:00:32,407
This is the dimension
of ima Gina tion

10
00:00:32,491 --> 00:00:35,994
it is an area which we
call the twilightzone.

11
00:00:56,014 --> 00:00:57,849
Right here,
ladies and gentlemen,

12
00:00:57,933 --> 00:01:01,186
special July clean up sale!

13
00:01:01,270 --> 00:01:03,355
Lovely things, calamine lotion,

14
00:01:03,397 --> 00:01:06,608
good for sunburns!

15
00:01:06,692 --> 00:01:09,111
How about binoculars?

16
00:01:09,194 --> 00:01:11,863
S tree t scene

17
00:01:11,947 --> 00:01:13,740
summer, the present.

18
00:01:13,824 --> 00:01:17,202
Man on the sidewalk
named Lou bookman.

19
00:01:17,244 --> 00:01:20,372
A ge, six tyish.
Oc c upa tion, pi tchma n.

20
00:01:20,414 --> 00:01:24,084
Lou bookman,
a fixture of the summer.

21
00:01:24,167 --> 00:01:27,087
A ra ther minor component
to a hot jul y.

22
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:29,881
A nondescript
commonpla ce little man,

23
00:01:29,965 --> 00:01:31,675
whose life is a treadmill

24
00:01:31,758 --> 00:01:35,137
buil t out of sidewalks.

25
00:01:35,220 --> 00:01:37,014
In justa moment, Lou bookman

26
00:01:37,097 --> 00:01:39,683
will ha ve to concern
himself with survival.

27
00:01:39,766 --> 00:01:42,477
Because as of 3 o'clock
this hot jul yafternoon

28
00:01:42,561 --> 00:01:46,315
he'll be stalked bymr. DEA th.

29
00:02:05,292 --> 00:02:07,002
Hi, lolh

30
00:02:07,085 --> 00:02:10,797
Hello, darling! Oh, here, here.

31
00:02:10,881 --> 00:02:12,591
Oh, my goodness,
it is hot today!

32
00:02:12,674 --> 00:02:13,759
Yeah.

33
00:02:13,842 --> 00:02:16,053
Let's sit down.

34
00:02:18,180 --> 00:02:19,848
What are you selling today, Lou?

35
00:02:19,931 --> 00:02:21,892
Toys, Lou? Are you selling toys?

36
00:02:23,935 --> 00:02:26,480
I'll show you what I
was selling.

37
00:02:26,563 --> 00:02:27,648
There's one for you.

38
00:02:27,731 --> 00:02:29,191
Thanks, Lou!

39
00:02:29,274 --> 00:02:31,193
That's alright, Maggie.
Here, Ricky.

40
00:02:31,276 --> 00:02:32,903
Thanks, Lou!

41
00:02:32,986 --> 00:02:35,781
Now the Lou bookman
social and ice cream hour

42
00:02:35,822 --> 00:02:37,949
takes place right after supper.

43
00:02:37,991 --> 00:02:40,118
The regular turn now!

44
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,328
Don't forget!

45
00:02:41,411 --> 00:02:42,788
Good bye.

46
00:02:42,829 --> 00:02:44,373
Bye, Lou.

47
00:02:44,456 --> 00:02:46,708
Don't forget the ice cream, huh?

48
00:03:16,863 --> 00:03:20,033
You're, you're the man I
saw on the sidewalk today.

49
00:03:20,117 --> 00:03:21,743
You were writing in a book.

50
00:03:21,827 --> 00:03:23,704
You are Lou bookman, aren't you?

51
00:03:23,787 --> 00:03:25,539
Tha t's right. Louis j. Bookman,

52
00:03:25,622 --> 00:03:27,374
is there something
I can show you?

53
00:03:27,457 --> 00:03:30,335
Maybe something in
collar stays? I'll get that.

54
00:03:30,419 --> 00:03:33,004
No, Mr. Bookman. I'm not
here to buy anything.

55
00:03:33,046 --> 00:03:35,090
Now let's get
to business, shall we?

56
00:03:35,173 --> 00:03:38,218
Louis j. Bookman,
aged 69, right?

57
00:03:38,301 --> 00:03:40,512
I'll be 70 in September.

58
00:03:40,554 --> 00:03:43,849
Hm. Occupation, pitchman, right?

59
00:03:43,890 --> 00:03:46,059
Yeah, that's right.

60
00:03:46,143 --> 00:03:47,686
Are you a census taker?

61
00:03:47,728 --> 00:03:51,022
Born in New York City in 1890.

62
00:03:51,106 --> 00:03:53,859
That's right, 1890.

63
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:57,070
Father Jacob bookman,
mother flora bookman.

64
00:03:57,154 --> 00:03:59,448
Father's place of birth,
Detroit, Michigan,

65
00:03:59,531 --> 00:04:02,117
mother's place of birth
Syracuse, New York, right?

66
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,536
That's right. My goodness,

67
00:04:04,578 --> 00:04:06,538
You got it all down
in that book there.

68
00:04:06,621 --> 00:04:09,207
Yes, we have to keep
these things efficient.

69
00:04:09,249 --> 00:04:12,544
Now today is the 19th of July.

70
00:04:12,627 --> 00:04:15,005
And your departure's
at midnight tonight.

71
00:04:15,088 --> 00:04:17,299
My departure?

72
00:04:19,092 --> 00:04:21,178
Oh, excuse me.

73
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:26,057
Hi, Maggie!

74
00:04:26,141 --> 00:04:27,893
The key's bad, Lou.
Can you fix it?

75
00:04:27,976 --> 00:04:29,770
Oh, sure, come on right in!

76
00:04:29,853 --> 00:04:31,104
Come on in.

77
00:04:31,188 --> 00:04:34,274
Let me see it.

78
00:04:34,357 --> 00:04:36,568
Well, there's your
trouble right there.

79
00:04:36,651 --> 00:04:38,904
See that little cogwheel?

80
00:04:38,987 --> 00:04:43,408
Well, you've been pushing in that
key when you were winding it. You see?

81
00:04:43,492 --> 00:04:44,701
See? Now it's all right.

82
00:04:44,785 --> 00:04:46,787
See?

83
00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:49,414
I'd introduce you two,
only I don't know your name.

84
00:04:49,498 --> 00:04:50,749
No need.

85
00:04:50,832 --> 00:04:52,709
I think I got it now, Lou.

86
00:04:52,793 --> 00:04:55,754
This gentleman came here
to ask me a lot of questions.

87
00:04:55,837 --> 00:04:57,464
What gentleman?

88
00:04:59,090 --> 00:05:00,383
That gentleman!

89
00:05:02,511 --> 00:05:04,679
What gentleman?

90
00:05:04,763 --> 00:05:08,350
Mr. Bookman,
she can't see me or hear me.

91
00:05:08,433 --> 00:05:09,851
Why not?

92
00:05:09,935 --> 00:05:11,645
Why not what, Lou?

93
00:05:11,728 --> 00:05:13,522
Why can't you
see him or hear him?

94
00:05:13,605 --> 00:05:16,525
See who, Lou?

95
00:05:16,608 --> 00:05:18,777
It works great now, Lou.

96
00:05:18,819 --> 00:05:21,363
Thanks an awful lot.
See you after supper, huh?

97
00:05:21,446 --> 00:05:24,032
Now wait a minute. You
haven't forgot your manners.

98
00:05:24,115 --> 00:05:25,784
Aren't you gonna say goodbye?

99
00:05:25,867 --> 00:05:27,953
Oh, yeah. Good bye,
Lou. Thanks a lot!

100
00:05:28,036 --> 00:05:30,372
No, no, I mean
to the gentleman there.

101
00:05:30,455 --> 00:05:32,457
Oh, it's a game.

102
00:05:32,541 --> 00:05:35,460
The invisible man.
Goodbye, invisible man.

103
00:05:35,544 --> 00:05:36,878
See you after supper, Lou.

104
00:05:45,053 --> 00:05:49,558
I can see you, yet she can't.

105
00:05:49,641 --> 00:05:52,978
Onl y those who are
to a ooompan y me can see me.

106
00:05:53,019 --> 00:05:55,230
Unders ta nd, Mr. B ook ma n?

107
00:05:55,313 --> 00:05:57,607
Uh, Mr. Book ma n,

108
00:06:00,777 --> 00:06:03,697
only those that are
to accompany me can see me.

109
00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:07,075
Now don't you think you ought to
start making your arrangements?

110
00:06:07,158 --> 00:06:08,743
Arrangements? For what?

111
00:06:08,827 --> 00:06:11,246
For your departure.

112
00:06:11,329 --> 00:06:13,582
My departure where?

113
00:06:13,665 --> 00:06:15,208
You just don't get it.

114
00:06:15,292 --> 00:06:17,335
I just will never
understand you people.

115
00:06:17,419 --> 00:06:20,088
You get the idiotic notion
that life goes on forever.

116
00:06:20,171 --> 00:06:21,464
Of course, it doesn't.

117
00:06:21,548 --> 00:06:23,049
Everyone has to go sometime.

118
00:06:23,133 --> 00:06:25,010
Go? You mean...

119
00:06:25,093 --> 00:06:27,762
That's right. And what I
further don't understand

120
00:06:27,846 --> 00:06:30,682
how little you appreciate
the nature of your departure.

121
00:06:30,765 --> 00:06:33,560
Think of all the poor souls
who go in violent accidents.

122
00:06:33,643 --> 00:06:35,228
The non precognition victims.

123
00:06:35,312 --> 00:06:37,272
We're not permitted
to forewarn them.

124
00:06:37,355 --> 00:06:40,734
You, Mr. Bookman,
fall into the category

125
00:06:40,817 --> 00:06:42,360
of "natural causes."

126
00:06:42,444 --> 00:06:44,070
"Natural causes?"

127
00:06:44,154 --> 00:06:46,865
Number one, I find you
a very devious sort,

128
00:06:46,948 --> 00:06:48,450
number two,

129
00:06:48,533 --> 00:06:50,243
I think that you're dishonest.

130
00:06:50,327 --> 00:06:54,289
Number three, why don't
you say what you mean!

131
00:06:54,372 --> 00:06:57,709
Mr. Bookman, I've done everything
but phone your own undertaker.

132
00:06:57,751 --> 00:06:59,544
How much clearer do you want it?

133
00:06:59,628 --> 00:07:01,338
If you still don't know who I am

134
00:07:01,421 --> 00:07:03,924
then you're the dumbest
man I've come up against.

135
00:07:17,562 --> 00:07:19,731
You are... you're death?

136
00:07:19,814 --> 00:07:22,108
Exactly, Mr. Bookman.

137
00:07:22,192 --> 00:07:25,987
Noi/I/, shall we get
down to business?

138
00:07:26,071 --> 00:07:28,907
Time of departure
is midnight tonight.

139
00:07:28,990 --> 00:07:30,825
I trust that will suit you.

140
00:07:30,909 --> 00:07:33,578
Preordination is
for death during sleep.

141
00:07:33,662 --> 00:07:36,581
I assume this too will
meet with your approval.

142
00:07:36,665 --> 00:07:39,793
You'll find this a relatively
simple and painless...

143
00:07:39,876 --> 00:07:41,795
No, just a minute.
I don't wanna go!

144
00:07:41,878 --> 00:07:43,838
No, they never do.

145
00:07:43,922 --> 00:07:46,841
But there's no reason to
go. I'm a very healthy man!

146
00:07:46,925 --> 00:07:50,261
Outside of a slight cold
I had last winter,

147
00:07:50,303 --> 00:07:53,473
and a sliver that festered
in that finger there,

148
00:07:53,556 --> 00:07:56,059
I don't think I've had
a sick day in 20 years!

149
00:07:56,142 --> 00:07:57,686
That may be,

150
00:07:57,769 --> 00:07:59,938
but departure time
is set for midnight.

151
00:07:59,980 --> 00:08:02,232
And departure will be midnight.

152
00:08:02,315 --> 00:08:04,526
Don't I have anything
to say about that?

153
00:08:04,609 --> 00:08:06,695
We do listen to appeals

154
00:08:06,778 --> 00:08:09,447
but frankly, Mr. Bookman,
there's very little here

155
00:08:09,531 --> 00:08:11,700
in the way of an
extenuating circumstance.

156
00:08:11,783 --> 00:08:14,119
There are three major
categories of appeals.

157
00:08:14,202 --> 00:08:15,620
One, is hardship cases.

158
00:08:15,704 --> 00:08:17,622
Now do you have a wife or family

159
00:08:17,706 --> 00:08:20,959
who might suffer beyond a
reasonable point your demise?

160
00:08:21,001 --> 00:08:24,921
No, no family. No.

161
00:08:25,005 --> 00:08:28,383
The second category
is priority cases

162
00:08:28,466 --> 00:08:31,553
statesmen, scientists, men
on the verge of discoveries.

163
00:08:31,636 --> 00:08:37,892
I take it you're not working on any
major scientific pursuit at the moment.

164
00:08:37,976 --> 00:08:40,145
No no.

165
00:08:40,186 --> 00:08:42,647
What's the third category?

166
00:08:42,731 --> 00:08:45,984
I don't think you're
qualified here either.

167
00:08:46,067 --> 00:08:49,404
Unfinished business
of a major nature.

168
00:08:49,487 --> 00:08:52,907
You don't have any
unfinished business, do you?

169
00:08:52,991 --> 00:08:54,034
Ah, but I do!

170
00:08:54,117 --> 00:08:55,493
Indeed I do!

171
00:08:55,535 --> 00:08:58,163
That's it, you see. I... yeah.

172
00:08:58,246 --> 00:09:00,415
I have some unfinished business.

173
00:09:00,498 --> 00:09:03,209
Unfinished business, yes.

174
00:09:06,004 --> 00:09:09,591
I've never flown
in a helicopter. That's it.

175
00:09:09,674 --> 00:09:11,259
I've never flown...

176
00:09:11,342 --> 00:09:13,762
Insuffioient, Mr. Bookman.

177
00:09:16,347 --> 00:09:18,349
Anything El se?

178
00:09:18,391 --> 00:09:22,103
Now you look here. I've
lived in this room for 21 years.

179
00:09:22,187 --> 00:09:25,899
And you keep popping up in corners
of the room I've never even seen before.

180
00:09:25,982 --> 00:09:27,734
Will you please
stay in one place?

181
00:09:27,817 --> 00:09:30,528
Is there anything
else, Mr. Bookman?

182
00:09:30,570 --> 00:09:32,072
Yes, yes.

183
00:09:32,155 --> 00:09:34,949
I have never seen
a zulu war dance.

184
00:09:35,033 --> 00:09:37,410
Now that's
the answer right there.

185
00:09:37,494 --> 00:09:41,081
So you'll have to give me a couple of
months to go over to that zulu country

186
00:09:41,164 --> 00:09:43,374
no?

187
00:09:43,458 --> 00:09:45,919
No. Unfinished business
of a major nature

188
00:09:46,002 --> 00:09:48,129
is something a man
had yearned for

189
00:09:48,213 --> 00:09:50,965
and something he
mightaccomplish given an extension.

190
00:09:51,049 --> 00:09:53,843
Well, there is one thing.

191
00:09:53,927 --> 00:09:56,221
What is it, Mr. Bookman?

192
00:09:56,262 --> 00:09:59,057
Well, between you and me,

193
00:09:59,099 --> 00:10:01,768
I never made a truly big pitch.

194
00:10:01,851 --> 00:10:04,646
I mean, I mean a big pitch.

195
00:10:04,729 --> 00:10:08,900
A pitch big enough
for the skies to open up.

196
00:10:08,983 --> 00:10:12,403
You knoi/I/,
a pitch for the angels.

197
00:10:12,445 --> 00:10:15,073
Of course, it wouldn't
mean very much to you,

198
00:10:15,115 --> 00:10:16,908
but it would mean
a great deal to me.

199
00:10:16,991 --> 00:10:19,244
It would mean
tha t for one moment

200
00:10:19,285 --> 00:10:23,164
in my whole life I would ha
ve done something successful.

201
00:10:23,248 --> 00:10:28,294
It would mean that maybe the
children would be very proud of me.

202
00:10:28,378 --> 00:10:30,505
The children?

203
00:10:30,588 --> 00:10:34,425
Yes, yes, I've always had quite a
fondness for children, you know.

204
00:10:34,509 --> 00:10:36,636
Yes, that's all
here in the record.

205
00:10:36,719 --> 00:10:40,974
The problem here, Mr. Bookman,
is that you'd require delay until...

206
00:10:41,057 --> 00:10:42,934
Until I make a pitch!

207
00:10:43,017 --> 00:10:45,520
The kind of pitch
I was talking to you about.

208
00:10:45,603 --> 00:10:46,980
The one for the angels?

209
00:10:47,063 --> 00:10:49,566
That's right.
One for the angels.

210
00:10:51,943 --> 00:10:54,362
I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Bookman,

211
00:10:54,445 --> 00:10:56,197
but, no.

212
00:10:58,324 --> 00:11:00,994
You see, these ca tegories
are very specific

213
00:11:01,077 --> 00:11:04,497
and when reference is made to
unfinished business of a major nature,

214
00:11:04,581 --> 00:11:06,583
the only interpretation
to be made here

215
00:11:06,666 --> 00:11:08,168
is simply that...

216
00:11:10,461 --> 00:11:12,547
What... what I mean is that, uh,

217
00:11:12,630 --> 00:11:14,632
unfortunately, Mr. Bookman,

218
00:11:14,674 --> 00:11:17,510
an ability to, to succeed

219
00:11:17,594 --> 00:11:19,387
in a given professional venture

220
00:11:19,470 --> 00:11:22,182
is really hardly of a major...

221
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:28,396
Mean a great
deal to you, does it?

222
00:11:28,479 --> 00:11:30,815
A great deal.

223
00:11:38,489 --> 00:11:40,742
All right, Mr. Bookman.

224
00:11:40,825 --> 00:11:43,786
Under the circumstances I
believe I can Grant you a dela y.

225
00:11:43,870 --> 00:11:45,705
Until...

226
00:11:45,788 --> 00:11:49,042
What do you mean 'until?'
Until you've made this pitch.

227
00:11:49,125 --> 00:11:50,752
I can live til then?

228
00:11:50,835 --> 00:11:52,503
That's the agreement.

229
00:11:52,545 --> 00:11:56,007
Oh, well I think
that's a fine bargain.

230
00:11:56,049 --> 00:11:58,051
I didn't get your name.

231
00:11:58,134 --> 00:12:01,095
Now, about
this pitch, Mr. Bookman,

232
00:12:01,179 --> 00:12:03,389
when might we expect it?

233
00:12:03,473 --> 00:12:05,099
When?

234
00:12:05,183 --> 00:12:08,061
Oh, soon. You know.

235
00:12:08,144 --> 00:12:12,232
Maybe not this year, maybe not for
a couple of years, But soon.

236
00:12:12,315 --> 00:12:15,860
I have the very odd feeling that
you're taking advantage of me.

237
00:12:15,902 --> 00:12:17,779
Oh, you have?
Well, that's a pity,

238
00:12:17,862 --> 00:12:21,699
because I am!

239
00:12:21,783 --> 00:12:24,118
You'll never catch me
making a pitch anymore.

240
00:12:24,202 --> 00:12:27,038
You think you can fool me, eh?

241
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,374
I'll hardly open
my mouth from now on.

242
00:12:30,708 --> 00:12:32,961
Really, Mr. Bookman?

243
00:12:33,044 --> 00:12:35,797
This is much more
serious than you imagine.

244
00:12:44,555 --> 00:12:48,059
It's much more complex than
you realize, what you've just done.

245
00:13:01,364 --> 00:13:03,574
Here I've gone
out of my way to help you

246
00:13:03,658 --> 00:13:05,285
and this is the way
you repay me?

247
00:13:18,006 --> 00:13:20,633
Mr. Bookman.

248
00:13:20,717 --> 00:13:23,303
It won't just end here,
you understand?

249
00:13:23,386 --> 00:13:26,180
There will be
consequences, you see?

250
00:13:26,264 --> 00:13:30,601
Fyi, that means
for you information

251
00:13:30,685 --> 00:13:33,938
you made your bed and
you shall have to sleep in it.

252
00:13:33,980 --> 00:13:37,066
We made a bargain that I don't
have to go until I make a pitch.

253
00:13:37,150 --> 00:13:39,527
And you'll have to wait
until I make that pitch.

254
00:13:39,610 --> 00:13:43,906
I can say this without the
least fear of contradiction.

255
00:13:43,990 --> 00:13:46,701
Have you got a long wait!

256
00:13:46,784 --> 00:13:48,870
That may well be, Mr. Bookman,

257
00:13:48,953 --> 00:13:50,621
but since you won't
come with me,

258
00:13:50,663 --> 00:13:53,499
I've been forced
to select an alternative.

259
00:14:05,762 --> 00:14:07,430
Maggie!

260
00:14:07,513 --> 00:14:08,723
Maggie!

261
00:14:08,806 --> 00:14:10,808
I swear I didn't see her.

262
00:14:10,892 --> 00:14:14,479
She jumped right off the curb
and I had no chance to stop.

263
00:14:14,562 --> 00:14:17,398
I swear to you I never had
no chance to stop at all.

264
00:14:17,482 --> 00:14:19,484
Well, then someone
send for a doctor!

265
00:14:19,525 --> 00:14:20,860
Get an ambulance.

266
00:14:20,943 --> 00:14:22,320
I'll call one.

267
00:14:33,623 --> 00:14:35,750
You're gonna
be all right, darling.

268
00:14:35,833 --> 00:14:37,668
You're gonna be just fine.

269
00:14:37,752 --> 00:14:39,587
Hi, Lou.

270
00:14:39,670 --> 00:14:41,089
Hello, sweetheart.

271
00:14:45,802 --> 00:14:46,886
Lou?

272
00:14:46,969 --> 00:14:48,096
Yes?

273
00:14:48,179 --> 00:14:50,223
Who's that man?

274
00:14:54,936 --> 00:14:56,354
Do you see him?

275
00:14:56,437 --> 00:14:58,689
Yes, Lou.

276
00:15:07,323 --> 00:15:08,658
Hey, wait a minute.

277
00:15:08,741 --> 00:15:10,076
You can't take her.

278
00:15:10,159 --> 00:15:12,286
No, siree, you can't take her.

279
00:15:12,370 --> 00:15:15,039
Now listen, I'll go.
Never mind the pitch.

280
00:15:15,123 --> 00:15:17,291
I don't even want to wait,
I'll go right now.

281
00:15:17,375 --> 00:15:19,210
You can't take her.

282
00:15:19,293 --> 00:15:21,295
I'll go with you, I'll...

283
00:15:46,904 --> 00:15:48,823
How's Maggie, doctor?

284
00:15:48,906 --> 00:15:50,741
I can't tell. I can't tell.

285
00:15:55,872 --> 00:15:57,665
Doctor?

286
00:15:57,748 --> 00:16:00,168
It's hard to tell. She's
a very sick little girl,

287
00:16:00,251 --> 00:16:03,129
but we'll know soon, she
should have a crisis by midnight.

288
00:16:03,212 --> 00:16:04,338
By midnight?

289
00:16:04,422 --> 00:16:05,756
I think by then.

290
00:16:09,177 --> 00:16:12,763
He won't come here.
I won't let him come here.

291
00:16:44,086 --> 00:16:45,505
Good evening, Mr. Bookman.

292
00:16:45,588 --> 00:16:47,131
You've got business in there?

293
00:16:47,215 --> 00:16:48,966
I most certainly do.

294
00:16:49,008 --> 00:16:53,596
It's quarter to 12:00.
In 15 minutes, midnight.

295
00:16:53,679 --> 00:16:55,181
That's my appointment.

296
00:16:58,851 --> 00:17:02,647
Mr. Death, that little
girl's only 8 years old.

297
00:17:02,730 --> 00:17:05,191
I'm ready now.

298
00:17:05,274 --> 00:17:08,402
I'm sorry, Mr. Bookman, but I
had to make other arrangements.

299
00:17:08,486 --> 00:17:10,321
It's impossible
to change them now.

300
00:17:10,404 --> 00:17:12,573
She's to come
with me at midnight,

301
00:17:12,657 --> 00:17:15,326
so I must be
in there at midnight.

302
00:17:15,368 --> 00:17:17,995
And if you're not in there?

303
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:20,164
It would be pretty
much unheard of.

304
00:17:20,248 --> 00:17:23,167
You see, if I didn't get in
there at precisely midnight,

305
00:17:23,251 --> 00:17:25,753
then the whole
timetable would be upset.

306
00:17:25,836 --> 00:17:27,547
It's unheard of.

307
00:17:27,630 --> 00:17:29,840
It's unheard of?

308
00:17:34,262 --> 00:17:36,347
What are you doing, Mr. Bookman?

309
00:17:36,389 --> 00:17:38,641
I'm just setting up
a pitch, that's all.

310
00:17:38,724 --> 00:17:40,434
At this time of night?

311
00:17:40,518 --> 00:17:44,689
Oh, I very often have
a late sale. Very often!

312
00:17:44,730 --> 00:17:47,066
Not many customers.

313
00:17:47,149 --> 00:17:49,110
Oh, they'll be here.

314
00:17:49,193 --> 00:17:51,362
They'll come round...
You're here, anyway.

315
00:17:51,445 --> 00:17:53,364
Oh, yes, I'm here.

316
00:17:53,447 --> 00:17:56,033
But I'm afraid
I'm not much of a customer.

317
00:17:56,075 --> 00:17:58,452
How do you know?
Have you seen my stock?

318
00:17:58,536 --> 00:18:02,290
Take this lovely tie
here, for instance.

319
00:18:02,373 --> 00:18:05,376
Oh, oh, excuse me.

320
00:18:09,171 --> 00:18:11,215
What does that look like to you?

321
00:18:11,257 --> 00:18:12,466
It looks like a tie.

322
00:18:12,550 --> 00:18:14,677
Feel it.

323
00:18:18,973 --> 00:18:21,309
Ladies and gentlemen,

324
00:18:21,392 --> 00:18:23,394
if you will feast your eyes

325
00:18:23,436 --> 00:18:26,397
on probabl y the mos t
exciting invention

326
00:18:26,439 --> 00:18:28,065
since atomic energy.

327
00:18:28,107 --> 00:18:32,236
A simulated silk
so fabulously conceived

328
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:36,741
as to mystify even the ancient
Chinese silk manufacturers.

329
00:18:36,824 --> 00:18:40,369
An almost unbelievable
attention to detail!

330
00:18:40,453 --> 00:18:45,041
It has a wonderful
work of weaving.

331
00:18:56,385 --> 00:19:01,307
Witness, if you will, a demons
tra tion of tens/le strength.

332
00:19:01,390 --> 00:19:03,476
Feel that if you will, sir.

333
00:19:03,559 --> 00:19:06,520
Unbelievable, isn't it?

334
00:19:06,604 --> 00:19:09,482
As strong as steel.

335
00:19:09,565 --> 00:19:13,361
Yet as fragile and
delicate as shantung silk.

336
00:19:13,444 --> 00:19:16,697
Pio ture if you will 300 years

337
00:19:16,781 --> 00:19:19,325
of ba ckbreaking
research and labor,

338
00:19:19,408 --> 00:19:20,993
to develop this.

339
00:19:21,077 --> 00:19:23,454
The a bs ol u te
ul tima te in s treng th.

340
00:19:23,537 --> 00:19:25,206
And what would you expect to pay

341
00:19:25,289 --> 00:19:28,292
for this fabulous,
I say fabulous, incredible,

342
00:19:28,334 --> 00:19:31,212
amazing development
of the tailor's art?

343
00:19:31,295 --> 00:19:33,130
Would you pay
30 dollars a spool?

344
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:35,299
25? 20? 10?

345
00:19:35,383 --> 00:19:37,718
Well, very well you might, sir,

346
00:19:37,802 --> 00:19:40,388
if you were trying to
purchase this at stores.

347
00:19:40,471 --> 00:19:44,350
But this fantastic thread
is nota vailable in stores.

348
00:19:44,433 --> 00:19:46,811
It is smuggled in
by oriental birds

349
00:19:46,894 --> 00:19:49,230
especially trained
for ocean travel.

350
00:19:49,313 --> 00:19:53,234
Each carrying a bit
quantity in a small satchel

410
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,830
so big that the sky
would open up.

411
00:22:52,872 --> 00:22:54,999
A pitch for the angels.

00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,418
That's right,
