You're tra vel/ng through another dimension.
A dimension not onl y of sightand sound, but of mind.
A journey into a wondrous land
whose boundaries are tha t of ima Gina t/on.
Tha t's the signpost up ahead.
Your next stop, the twilight zone.
This is one of the out-of-the-way pla oes,
the UN v/s/ted pla oes,
bleak, wasted, dying.
This is a farmhouse. Handmade, crude,
a house without electric/ty or gas.
A house untouohed byprogress.
This is the woman who lives in the house.
A woman who's been alone for many years.
A strong, simple woman,
whose only problem up until this moment
has been that of acquiring enough food to eat.
A woman about to face terror
which is, even now, coming at her
f ro m the twilight zone.
Ah!
Oh!
Ah!
Agh!
Ah!
Agh.
Ah!
Central control.
Come in, central control.
Do you read me?
Gresham is dead.
Repeat, gresham is dead.
The sh/p's destro yed.
Incredible race of giants here.
Ra ce of giants.
No, central control. No countera ttack.
Repea t, no countera tta ck.
Too much for us.
Too powerful. Sta ya way.
Gresham and I, we're fin/shed, fin/shed.
Stayaway.
Sta ya way.
Agh. Agh.
These are the in vaders.
The tiny beings from the tiny place called earth
who would take the giant step across the sky
to the quest/on marks tha t sparkle and beckon
from the vastness of a universe onl y to be ima g/ned.
The invaders who found out
thata one-way ticket to the stars beyond
has the ul t/ma te price ta g,
and we have just seen it entered in a ledger
tha t covers all the transactions of the universe.
A bill stamped "pa/d in full"
and to be found, unf/led,
in the twilight zone.
Rod serling, orea Tor of the twilight zone,
will tell you about next week's story
after this word from our al terna te sponsor.
And now, Mr. Serl/ng.
Next week, on this very spot,
there commences a very kooky chain of occurrences.
The story has to do with a young bank clerk
who for some unexplained and most uncanny reason,
finds himself able to read other people's minds,
and then finds that the power can get him
into a peck of trouble and a bushel of travail.
Our show is called "a penny for your thoughts,"
and it will be here waiting for you next week
o n the twilight zone.
Be sure and see the col ga te-palmolive company's
new comedyshow my sister Eileen
wednesda yn/ght on many of these same sta t/ons.
