are an automotive gen/us."

on account that he was telling the truth.

it's going to rain?

146
00:08:24,337 --> 00:08:26,506
Tell? Rain?

147
00:08:26,589 --> 00:08:31,344
Mister, I can tell when the humidity
drops one half of one percent.

rain, hail, sleet and snow

00:08:36,516 --> 00:08:39,352
twenty-four hours
before it happens.

150

Mr. Frisby, we were wondering...

151
00:08:41,396 --> 00:08:44,441
Uh, we'll very likely be
seeing you soon, Mr. Frisby.

152
00:08:44,524 --> 00:08:47,902
Well, / hope you do. And remember
what? t / told you about the wea ther.

153
00:08:47,986 --> 00:08:52,907
Now, you better check into a motel
or something until it blows over.

154
00:08:52,991 --> 00:08:56,286
We'll probably do that.
Thank you again, Mr. Frisby.

155
00:08:56,369 --> 00:08:58,371
Yeah.

156
00:09:11,468 --> 00:09:13,720
Well, odd fella.

157
00:09:13,803 --> 00:09:15,972
Why, they believe
what you was saying?

158
00:09:16,056 --> 00:09:18,475
No, just kind of odd.

159
00:09:18,558 --> 00:09:22,729
Handed me a $ten-bill like they
didn't even know what it was.

160
00:09:22,771 --> 00:09:27,317
How come you didn't tell 'em you was Alexander
Hamilton, and that's your picture on it?

161
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,820

(Man) Mr. Fr/sb y?

170
00:10:09,734 --> 00:10:11,611
Frisby here.

171
00:10:11,694 --> 00:10:15,865
Mr. Frisby? If you
walk out of your store

172
00:10:15,949 --> 00:10:19,285
and head east down the
highway for 200 yards,

173
00:10:19,369 --> 00:10:21,955
you'll ha ve quite an adventure.

174
00:10:26,459 --> 00:10:28,628
H-How was that?

175
00:10:34,259 --> 00:10:36,302
You're not frightened, are you?

176
00:10:38,054 --> 00:10:39,973
Frightened?

177
00:10:40,014 --> 00:10:42,725
[Laughs nervously] M e?

178
00:10:42,809 --> 00:10:45,145
"Ston ewall frisby"?

179
00:10:47,814 --> 00:10:50,316
Why, Dwight David
eisenhower said to me

180
00:10:50,358 --> 00:10:55,155
when I was the very first man
to climb into a landing craft

181
00:10:55,196 --> 00:10:57,740
headed for the French coast.

182
00:11:02,579 --> 00:11:05,707
That was June 6,

183
00:11:07,458 --> 00:11:10,920
1944.

184
00:11:11,004 --> 00:11:15,508
"Ston ey," ike said, "ston ey,

185
00:11:15,592 --> 00:11:18,094
"you lead the invasion.

186
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,514
"There'll be mines,

187
00:11:23,099 --> 00:11:26,227
"German e-boats,

188
00:11:26,311 --> 00:11:29,772
"stuka divebombers,
coast artillery,

189
00:11:29,856 --> 00:11:32,025
but you can do it."

190
00:11:32,108 --> 00:11:34,194
Excep tional.

191
00:11:34,235 --> 00:11:36,613
Well?

192
00:11:36,696 --> 00:11:40,533
I-I don't think
I better take the walk.

193
00:11:40,617 --> 00:11:42,285
It looks like rain.

194
00:11:42,368 --> 00:11:44,913
Then you are frightened,

195
00:11:44,996 --> 00:11:49,042
we had thought that you'd be the
one man willing to take almostany risk.

196
00:11:49,125 --> 00:11:51,419
That may be very well, but,

197
00:11:52,962 --> 00:11:56,090
who may I ask
is saying all this?

198
00:11:56,174 --> 00:12:00,511
If you walk down the road
as / suggested, you'll find out.

199
00:12:02,764 --> 00:12:07,435
Well, rain or no rain, I never was
one to duck a little excitement.

200
00:12:07,518 --> 00:12:09,604
Who-who are you?

201
00:12:09,687 --> 00:12:11,898
You'll find out.

202
00:12:16,402 --> 00:12:20,323
Well, all right, but wait
till I get my things put away.

203
00:12:22,325 --> 00:12:26,162
Tha t won't be necessary.
You won't be coming back.

204
00:12:26,246 --> 00:12:27,830
[Screams]

205
00:12:33,169 --> 00:12:35,588

206

207
00:12:38,675 --> 00:12:41,427
[Whistles quietly]

208
00:12:41,511 --> 00:12:44,013
[Humming continues]

209
00:12:56,109 --> 00:13:00,071
Come right ahead, Mr. Frisby.
We're waiting for you.

210
00:13:04,951 --> 00:13:08,788
Tha t's right. We're
waiting for you inside.

211
00:13:08,830 --> 00:13:11,082
[Humming continues]

212
00:13:14,002 --> 00:13:16,713
Impressed, Mr. Fr/sb y?

213
00:13:17,922 --> 00:13:20,216
[Impressed? Uaughs]

214
00:13:20,300 --> 00:13:23,344
Why, with this
rinky-dink? [Chuckles]

215
00:13:23,428 --> 00:13:28,558
This looks like a flea on a dog
compared to the one that I designed

216
00:13:28,641 --> 00:13:31,811
for the United States
space agency.

217
00:13:31,894 --> 00:13:36,482
And that was back in 1951.

218
00:13:36,524 --> 00:13:39,986
"Old rocket thrust
frisby" they called me.

219
00:13:40,028 --> 00:13:42,155
[Whirring]

220
00:13:43,990 --> 00:13:48,411
Please, Mr. Frisby,
be so good as to enter.

221
00:14:01,507 --> 00:14:04,177
(Man #1) How do
you do, Mr. Frisby?

222
00:14:04,260 --> 00:14:06,971
(Man #2) Welcome,
Mr. Frisby how do you do?

223
00:14:22,862 --> 00:14:24,697
[Uaughs] Yeah.

224
00:14:24,739 --> 00:14:27,450
Movie prop, ain't it?

225
00:14:27,533 --> 00:14:29,619
Yeah, that's what
it is, ain't it?

226
00:14:29,702 --> 00:14:31,704
One of them Hollywood things

227
00:14:31,788 --> 00:14:36,125
advertisin' a flying
saucer picture or somethin'.

228
00:14:36,209 --> 00:14:39,420
Yeah, that's it. Ain't it?

229
00:14:39,504 --> 00:14:43,716
In a word, Mr. Frisby, no. This
is actually a flying saucer,

230
00:14:43,758 --> 00:14:48,388
and w... my colleagues and
I are from another planet.

231
00:14:48,471 --> 00:14:50,598
I-I-I gotta be going.

232
00:14:50,681 --> 00:14:54,227
Correction, Mr. Frisby.
You are staying.

233
00:14:54,268 --> 00:14:58,314
So why don't you relax
and be comfortable?

234
00:15:01,567 --> 00:15:04,195
[Whirring]

235
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,584
What else did you gentlemen
want to know about?

236
00:15:18,626 --> 00:15:21,170
Your research in
liquid propellants.

237
00:15:21,254 --> 00:15:24,006
Oh, yeah. Liquid propellants.

238
00:15:24,090 --> 00:15:28,010
Mixed up the first batch
of that myself in my cellar.

239
00:15:28,094 --> 00:15:30,763
Folks in the hometown
wanted me to run for congress

240
00:15:30,805 --> 00:15:35,309
on account of I'd got the
country back in the space race.

241
00:15:35,393 --> 00:15:38,855
But if there's one thing
I ain't, it's egotistical.

242
00:15:38,938 --> 00:15:42,442
I figure, it's a
man's pa triotic duty

243
00:15:42,483 --> 00:15:45,778
to inventa liquid
propellant if he has a mind to.

244
00:15:45,862 --> 00:15:48,156
And I was a mind to.

245
00:15:48,239 --> 00:15:51,117
Well, even as a boy
at Princeton university,

246
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,788
they used to call me "old
liquid propellant frisby."

247
00:15:55,872 --> 00:15:57,790
Next question.

248
00:15:57,832 --> 00:16:01,377
Mr. Frisby, forgive me,
but you mentioned Princeton.

249
00:16:01,461 --> 00:16:05,465
It's my understanding that you
went to the university of Wichita.

250
00:16:05,506 --> 00:16:08,885
Well, that, too.
Happens to be a fact

251
00:16:08,968 --> 00:16:13,681
that I hold a degree
in 38 major universities

252
00:16:13,764 --> 00:16:16,309
of advanced schools
of higher learning.

253
00:16:16,392 --> 00:16:19,896
Got a rogue scholarship, too,
but I had to turn that down,

254
00:16:19,979 --> 00:16:23,649
because I wouldn't
bow to the queen.

255
00:16:23,733 --> 00:16:27,236
Well, I think that ought to take
care of all of your questions.

256
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,740
Now, if you don't mind, I'll be
getting home for supper. I...

257
00:16:32,742 --> 00:16:35,578
Say, it's getting late, and I
gotta get home for supper.

258
00:16:35,661 --> 00:16:38,664
I gotta get out of here.

259
00:16:38,706 --> 00:16:42,502
I ga ther that you don't quite
understand the situation, Mr. Frisby.

260
00:16:42,585 --> 00:16:44,670
How's that?

261
00:16:44,754 --> 00:16:47,840
You're not going home for
supper. You shall have supper here.

262
00:16:47,924 --> 00:16:50,343
Here?

263
00:16:50,426 --> 00:16:56,265
Precisely. In exactly, well, 14
minutes by your measure of time,

264
00:16:56,349 --> 00:16:58,601
we'll be departing.

265
00:16:58,684 --> 00:17:00,937
Departing from where to where?

266
00:17:01,020 --> 00:17:04,023
From here to our
planet. You see, Mr. Frisby,

267
00:17:04,106 --> 00:17:08,694
our assignment here was to
secure a representative earth specie,

268
00:17:08,736 --> 00:17:11,030
hopefully the most
brilliant we could find.

269
00:17:11,072 --> 00:17:13,908
There seems to be no question
that your accomplishments

270
00:17:13,991 --> 00:17:17,954
are far and a way more extensive than
those ofany other human being on earth.

271
00:17:18,037 --> 00:17:20,581
Mine? Frisby's?

272
00:17:20,665 --> 00:17:22,291
[Laughs]

273
00:17:22,375 --> 00:17:26,712
Now, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.

274
00:17:26,754 --> 00:17:31,551
I-I'm just an old country
boy with a big mouth.

275
00:17:31,634 --> 00:17:35,805
Oh, come now, Mr. Frisby. You
do yourself a terrible injust/ce.

276
00:17:35,888 --> 00:17:39,600
We know all about you
and your accomplishments.

277
00:17:39,684 --> 00:17:42,061
Accomplishments?

278
00:17:42,103 --> 00:17:47,275
Well, uh, I guess you might
just as well know now as later.

279
00:17:49,318 --> 00:17:53,823
Only accomplishment I got
you fellas evidently overlooked,

280
00:17:53,906 --> 00:17:58,160
and, well, that is
I'm the gol darnedest liar

281
00:17:58,244 --> 00:18:00,830
that ever hit the pike.

282
00:18:00,913 --> 00:18:04,625
I spin the biggest yarns
west of the rockies!

283
00:18:04,709 --> 00:18:08,838
And h don't mean
exaggeration. I mean lies.

284
00:18:08,921 --> 00:18:12,633
L-i-e-s, lies.

285
00:18:14,677 --> 00:18:16,554
Don't you get it?

286
00:18:18,806 --> 00:18:21,017
Uh, Mr. Frisby,

287
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:23,811
there are some terms

288
00:18:23,894 --> 00:18:27,273
that we cannot relate
to our own language.

289
00:18:27,315 --> 00:18:31,360
This word "lie"
that you mention...

290
00:18:31,444 --> 00:18:33,696
You mean that

291
00:18:33,779 --> 00:18:35,948
anything that anybody tells you

292
00:18:35,990 --> 00:18:39,994
just goes without saying
that, well, it's the truth?

293
00:18:40,077 --> 00:18:44,957
Hence, everything tha t
I've told you, you bel ieve?

294
00:18:45,041 --> 00:18:49,837
Hence, you're gonna to take me up
to your planet and put me in a cage?

295
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,132
Oh, hardly that,
Mr. Frisby. It won't be a cage.

296
00:18:53,174 --> 00:18:55,301
We'll naturally have
to keep you confined

297
00:18:55,384 --> 00:18:58,554
much as we do the other
spec/mens we've collected.

298
00:18:58,638 --> 00:19:02,058
Mr. Frisby, we have a
marvelously entertaining venutian.

pitches simultaneously

300
00:19:05,645 --> 00:19:07,855
and accompanies
himself with his tail.

301
00:19:07,938 --> 00:19:10,191
Now, you wait a minute.

302
00:19:10,274 --> 00:19:15,529
I am a bona fide American citizen,
and I got my rights. And furthermore...

303
00:19:15,613 --> 00:19:18,240
Please contain
yourself, Mr. Frisby.

304
00:19:18,324 --> 00:19:21,911
Now, since we shall be
departing very shortly,

305
00:19:21,994 --> 00:19:25,206
you have your
choice of supper now,

306
00:19:25,289 --> 00:19:27,333
or perhaps you'd prefer waiting.

307
00:19:27,375 --> 00:19:29,251
What will be your pleasure?

308
00:19:29,335 --> 00:19:32,588
Pleasure? My pleasure is
to punch you right in the jaw.

309
00:19:51,232 --> 00:19:53,567
Feeling better, Mr. Frisby?

310
00:19:53,651 --> 00:19:57,279
We'll be departing
in five minutes.

311
00:19:57,363 --> 00:20:01,867
Man, the last time I saw
anything that looked like you,

312
00:20:01,909 --> 00:20:04,870
I'd been four days
on the corn jug,

313
00:20:04,912 --> 00:20:10,126
and even what I thought I saw
looked better than you do now.

314
00:20:10,209 --> 00:20:12,712
Say, tell me,

315
00:20:12,753 --> 00:20:16,966
are the girls where you come
from? Do they look like you, too?

316
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:20,636
Oh, you'll become accustomed
to our appearance, Mr. Frisby,

317
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,806
much as we've been able to
accustom ourselves to yours.

318
00:20:23,889 --> 00:20:25,474
Well.

319
00:20:25,558 --> 00:20:27,393
One thing I'll say about you,

320
00:20:27,435 --> 00:20:30,813
you... sure are built hard.

321
00:20:30,896 --> 00:20:34,483
[Chuckles] Oh, we are
indeed by your standards,

322
00:20:34,567 --> 00:20:36,986
which is quite fortunate for us.

323
00:20:37,069 --> 00:20:40,906
Say, do-do you mind
if I relax a little?

call you "old mile-a-minute."

330
00:21:17,193 --> 00:21:19,153
Stay in your room, Mr. Frisby.

00:22:01,278 --> 00:22:03,364
What's going on here?

339
00:22:03,447 --> 00:22:06,408
What do you mean what's going
on here? Why, it's your birthday.

340
00:22:06,492 --> 00:22:10,037
This is a surprise party. You didn't
know that, either. Here, sit down.

341
00:22:12,706 --> 00:22:15,334
The presents. Give
him the presents.

342
00:22:15,376 --> 00:22:17,920
I've been waiting
all day for this.

343
00:22:18,003 --> 00:22:20,089
Open it up, frisby,
come on, open it up.

344
00:22:20,172 --> 00:22:23,759
[All talking excitedly]

345
00:22:26,846 --> 00:22:29,098
Read it out loud.

346
00:22:29,181 --> 00:22:31,684
Yeah, yeah, uh, read...

347
00:22:31,767 --> 00:22:36,105
Mr. Frisby, for the first time
in his life is at a loss for words.

348
00:22:36,188 --> 00:22:37,940
I'll read it for him.

349
00:22:38,023 --> 00:22:41,777
"World's greatest liar
Mr. Somerset frisby.

350
00:22:41,861 --> 00:22:46,407
Presented by his friends and
occasion of his 63rd birthday."

351
00:22:46,490 --> 00:22:50,452
Go ahead, frisby. Makea speech.

352
00:22:50,536 --> 00:22:52,454
I've been waiting
all day for this.

353
00:22:52,538 --> 00:22:54,707
Yeah, come on, frisby!

354
00:22:54,748 --> 00:22:56,876
Tell us one of them
real whoppers.

355
00:22:56,959 --> 00:23:00,212
Where you been the last couple
of hours? Did you invent something?

356
00:23:00,296 --> 00:23:02,923
Or maybe you took a quick
trip up to the moon, huh?

357
00:23:03,007 --> 00:23:05,801
Now, you know, you
ain't very far wrong.

358
00:23:05,885 --> 00:23:10,222
Do you know who them fellas
was out there in that car?

359
00:23:10,264 --> 00:23:13,058
Well, I'll tell
you who they was.

360
00:23:13,142 --> 00:23:15,436
They was from outer space.

361
00:23:15,519 --> 00:23:17,563
[Laughter]

362
00:23:17,605 --> 00:23:20,065
Now, wait a minute. I
don't know how they did it,

363
00:23:20,149 --> 00:23:23,485
but they just whooshed
me right through the air,

364
00:23:23,569 --> 00:23:26,071
right into their flyin' saucer,

365
00:23:26,155 --> 00:23:29,158
and they was gonna kidnap me!

366
00:23:29,241 --> 00:23:32,244
But this is the truth.
Honest, honest.

367
00:23:32,328 --> 00:23:37,249
You know how I got away?
I just took out my harmonica.

368
00:23:37,333 --> 00:23:41,754
Blew a couple of chords, and
they just fainted dead away.

369
00:23:41,837 --> 00:23:45,758
Aw! What did I tell you?

370
00:23:45,841 --> 00:23:49,178
Ain't he the perfect limit?

371
00:23:49,261 --> 00:23:54,016
But this is the truth. They
had a big eye right in the middle,

372
00:23:54,099 --> 00:23:57,186
and they whooshed.

373
00:23:57,269 --> 00:24:00,522
(Narrator) Mr. Somerset fr/sb
y, who might ha ve prof/ted

374
00:24:00,606 --> 00:24:03,776
byreading an aesop fable
abouta boy who cried wolf.

375
00:24:03,859 --> 00:24:06,779
Tonight's tall tale
from the timberlands

376
00:24:06,862 --> 00:24:08,948
of the twilight zone.

377
00:24:13,702 --> 00:24:17,289
(Male presenter) Rod serl/ng,
crea Tor of the twilight zone,

378
00:24:17,331 --> 00:24:22,127
will tell youabout next
week's story after this message.

379
00:24:22,211 --> 00:24:24,713
And now, Mr. Serling.

380
00:24:24,797 --> 00:24:29,051
We have a return visit next week from a
most eminent performer, Joseph schildkraut.

381
00:24:29,134 --> 00:24:31,470
And his vehicle is
called the trade-ins.

382
00:24:31,553 --> 00:24:35,140
It's a story of a future society in
which new bodies may be traded for old.

383
00:24:35,182 --> 00:24:38,560
It's my own personal feeling that of
all the various story areas we've tackled

384
00:24:38,644 --> 00:24:41,230
in the twilightzone,
this has the most import,

385
00:24:41,313 --> 00:24:43,315
and carries with it
the most poignance.

386
00:24:43,399 --> 00:24:45,567
I hope you'll be able
to be with us next week.

387
00:24:45,651 --> 00:24:49,196
Here in one cigarette, a
chesterfield, is all the flavor and taste

388
00:24:49,279 --> 00:24:51,573
of 21 of the world's
finest tobaccos,

389
00:24:51,657 --> 00:24:53,575
aged mild and then blended mild.

390
00:24:53,659 --> 00:24:55,828
The end result: Tobacco
too mild to filter.

391
00:24:55,911 --> 00:24:57,413
A pleasure too good to miss.

392
00:24:57,496 --> 00:24:59,957
Smoke for pleasure,
smoke chesterfield.

393
00:25:02,918 --> 00:25:05,921
[Eerie music]

394
00:25:30,487 --> 00:25:33,365
This is James arness.

395
00:25:33,449 --> 00:25:37,453
You know, it's onl ya short hop from the
twilight zone to dodge city and gunsmoke.

396
00:25:37,536 --> 00:25:39,872
Sa turda y nights over
most of these stations.
