00:00:01,335 --> 00:00:04,254
[Theme music playing]

2
00:00:09,718 --> 00:00:12,721
(Narrator) You're tra vel/ng
through another dimension.

3
00:00:12,804 --> 00:00:16,350
A dimension not onl y of
sightand sound, but of mind.

4
00:00:16,433 --> 00:00:20,103
A journey into a wondrous land whose
boundaries are tha t of ima Gina t/on.

5
00:00:20,187 --> 00:00:22,314
Your next stop,
the twilight zone.

6
00:00:26,193 --> 00:00:28,570
[Laughter]

7
00:00:28,654 --> 00:00:31,907
Ladies and gentlemen, we're
certainly glad to be here tonight.

8
00:00:31,990 --> 00:00:33,367
Speak for yourself, Turkey.

9
00:00:33,450 --> 00:00:34,952
That's j erry.

10
00:00:35,035 --> 00:00:37,037
Every dummy to his own taste.

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,039
Now, cut that out.

12
00:00:39,122 --> 00:00:41,542
All right. Let go of the
suit. I'm getting out of here.

13
00:00:41,583 --> 00:00:45,045
Now, wait a minute,
Willy. Just stay right here.

14
00:00:45,087 --> 00:00:46,129
I mean it.

15
00:00:46,213 --> 00:00:48,131
Uh-huh.

16
00:00:48,215 --> 00:00:51,218
I'm sorry. If I said anything,
I, uh, I didn't mean it.

17
00:00:51,301 --> 00:00:53,929
Oh, no?

18
00:00:54,012 --> 00:01:00,227
Just tell me this, wise guy. You did admit
that you were superstitious, didn't you?

19
00:01:00,310 --> 00:01:02,521
Well, on occasion, yes.

20
00:01:02,604 --> 00:01:06,400
But you don't throw salt over your
shoulders or cross your fingers.

21
00:01:06,483 --> 00:01:07,776
No, I knock on wood.

22
00:01:07,859 --> 00:01:09,027
You did it again.

23
00:01:09,111 --> 00:01:10,612
Wait a minute.

24
00:01:10,696 --> 00:01:12,447
I resign. From
now on, I'm a single!

25
00:01:12,531 --> 00:01:16,076
As for you, you
can turn in your lap.

26
00:01:16,118 --> 00:01:19,454
Uh, why, Willy, uh,

27
00:01:19,538 --> 00:01:23,166
in the first place, what
would you do without me?

28
00:01:23,250 --> 00:01:28,255
Well, for one thing, I could
be a better ventriloquist.

29
00:01:28,338 --> 00:01:30,257
Oh, yeah?

30
00:01:30,299 --> 00:01:32,634
Yeah. Watch this.

31
00:01:32,718 --> 00:01:34,761
[Imitating Willy] A funny
thing happened to me

32
00:01:34,803 --> 00:01:37,264
on my way over to
the club tonight.

33
00:01:37,347 --> 00:01:40,017
[Imitating Jerry] Is that a fact?
What happened, blockhead?

34
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:42,352
I was out in front
of the ritz-savoy.

35
00:01:42,436 --> 00:01:46,857
That's where I live. Out
in front of the ritz-savoy.

36
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:51,194
They put formaldehyde in those
jokes? Something must preserve them.

37
00:01:51,278 --> 00:01:53,864
[Laughter]

38
00:01:59,578 --> 00:02:02,456
You're watching a ventriloquist
named Jerry etherson,

39
00:02:02,539 --> 00:02:06,293
a voice-thrower par excellence.
His alter ego, sitting atop his lap,

40
00:02:06,335 --> 00:02:09,296
is a brash stick of kindling
with the sobriquet "Willy."

41
00:02:09,379 --> 00:02:12,090
In a moment, Mr. Etherson
and his knotty-pine partner

42
00:02:12,174 --> 00:02:15,010
will be booked into one
of the out-of-the-way bistros.

43
00:02:15,093 --> 00:02:20,140
That small dark, intimate
place known as the twilight zone.

44
00:02:23,101 --> 00:02:26,605
We play places like, uh,
Miami, Los Angeles, Utah.

45
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:30,233
Hey, Jerry.
How about San Quentin?

46
00:02:30,317 --> 00:02:32,319
[Laughter]

47
00:02:32,402 --> 00:02:34,780
Play there, but not
for a verylong time.

48
00:02:34,863 --> 00:02:37,866
Anyway, you've been a wonderful
audience, and we wanna thank you.

49
00:02:37,949 --> 00:02:40,118
Willy, I think it
would be very nice

50
00:02:40,202 --> 00:02:44,331
if you'd say goodnight and thank
you to all these wonderful people.

51
00:02:44,414 --> 00:02:49,169
You can do anything I can do better?
All right, wise guy. Can you do this?

52
00:02:49,252 --> 00:02:51,880
[Laughter]

53
00:02:51,963 --> 00:02:55,550
Come around tomorrow night,
folks. I'll be alone. Just you and me.

54
00:02:55,634 --> 00:02:59,429
Willy, I think, little pal,
we better cut out, huh?

55
00:02:59,513 --> 00:03:02,015
Let me tell you
something, folks.

56
00:03:02,057 --> 00:03:05,686
As soon as I shake this pusher and get
me a real act, you're gonna see some class!

57
00:03:05,769 --> 00:03:08,063
[Laughter]

58
00:03:08,146 --> 00:03:11,024
Thank you again,
ladles and gentlemen,

59
00:03:11,066 --> 00:03:14,277
help, I'm being kidnapped!
Call a lawyer! Call a doctor!

60
00:03:14,361 --> 00:03:17,030
Never mind. Just get
me to the nurse on time!

61
00:03:17,072 --> 00:03:18,573
Ow!

62
00:03:20,325 --> 00:03:22,661
[Dance music starts]

63
00:03:53,984 --> 00:03:55,652
[Dance music continues]

64
00:04:25,766 --> 00:04:28,935
[Dance music continues]

65
00:04:28,977 --> 00:04:32,439
[Door opens and closes]

66
00:04:32,522 --> 00:04:34,357
(Man) Wha t do
you sa y, maestro?

67
00:04:34,441 --> 00:04:36,151
How did it go?

68
00:04:36,234 --> 00:04:39,279
Not bad. It's a small
house, but a happy one.

69
00:04:39,362 --> 00:04:41,656
There weren't any
complaints. Well, booby...

70
00:04:41,740 --> 00:04:44,117
Frank!

71
00:04:44,159 --> 00:04:46,620
Don't do that. I told you that.

72
00:04:46,703 --> 00:04:48,830
Still on the bit, huh?

73
00:04:54,127 --> 00:04:56,213
You still on that stuff, huh?

74
00:04:56,296 --> 00:04:59,466
You gave me your solemn promise
you were gonna do your drinking

75
00:04:59,549 --> 00:05:03,595
out of soda pop bottles and coffee jugs.
What does it take, Jerry, to get you wise?

76
00:05:03,678 --> 00:05:05,472
I'm tired. Will
you clear the area?

77
00:05:05,555 --> 00:05:07,849
First I'd like to clear the air.

78
00:05:07,933 --> 00:05:11,061
I don't know where you
manufacture all your illusions, Jerry.

79
00:05:11,144 --> 00:05:13,480
But instead of being on
top, where you ought to be,

80
00:05:13,563 --> 00:05:16,525
at present, you're a second-rate
nightclub entertainer.

81
00:05:16,608 --> 00:05:18,610
If you stay on that bottle...

82
00:05:18,693 --> 00:05:21,696
All right, I'll put away the
bottle. Now, will you pull out?

83
00:05:24,741 --> 00:05:27,118
I don't know why
I waste my time.

84
00:05:27,202 --> 00:05:32,541
Ten percent of you is grief,
and it's always been that way.

85
00:05:32,624 --> 00:05:35,418
Maybe it's because I've
got a soft spot in my heart

86
00:05:35,502 --> 00:05:38,755
for people who like to comm/t
suicide eight hours a da y.

87
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,925
Now, listen, Jerry.

88
00:05:42,008 --> 00:05:44,177
It doesn't have to be this way.

89
00:05:44,219 --> 00:05:47,347
You give in to some bad hooch
and then you have bad nightmares.

90
00:05:47,430 --> 00:05:50,892
It's as simple as that. Take away the
hooch, and you take away the nightmares.

91
00:05:50,976 --> 00:05:54,896
You got the chronology wrong, frank.
First the nightmares and then the hooch.

92
00:05:54,980 --> 00:05:59,192
I drink 'cause I
have to, and I have to

93
00:05:59,276 --> 00:06:01,778
because of him.

94
00:06:01,862 --> 00:06:04,114
I've gotta get
rid of him, frank.

95
00:06:04,197 --> 00:06:08,076
This stick of wood? This
fugitive from a fireplace?

96
00:06:08,159 --> 00:06:11,788
Jerry, how many psychiatrists
do you have to see?

97
00:06:11,872 --> 00:06:15,375
How many hours on the couch does it
require? How many 20-buck-an-hour visits?

98
00:06:15,458 --> 00:06:17,627
I can't help it.

99
00:06:17,711 --> 00:06:19,992
You can help it. You know
what? t it is, you've been told.

100
00:06:20,046 --> 00:06:23,383
Often, endlessly, up to my craw in
overflowing schizophrenia. I know it.

101
00:06:23,466 --> 00:06:26,803
Pa tient feel helpless and man/pula
Ted by forces outside of his control.

102
00:06:26,887 --> 00:06:30,932
I can give it to you frontwards,
backwards, in three different languages.

103
00:06:31,016 --> 00:06:34,811
It's like a well-rehearsed off-color
gag. Patient goes from himself to a dummy

104
00:06:34,895 --> 00:06:38,815
and then is unable to separate himself from
the dummy. That's very psychiatric and erudite

105
00:06:38,899 --> 00:06:42,319
and worth about 21/2 bucks a
word, but it's not right. It's not right!

106
00:06:42,402 --> 00:06:46,072
I told them that, I tell you that.
It's no more schizophrenia-paranoia

107
00:06:46,156 --> 00:06:49,451
than it is athlete's foot
or a head cold! Will y's alive!

108
00:06:49,534 --> 00:06:51,745
He's a dummy! He's
a block of wood.

109
00:06:51,786 --> 00:06:54,331
Look at it. Does this
thing look alive to you?

110
00:06:54,414 --> 00:06:57,083
Well, does he?

111
00:06:57,167 --> 00:07:01,504
Twenty-four inches of timber and you're
shoveling yourself into a grave over it.

112
00:07:01,588 --> 00:07:05,425
Now, you listen, Jerry.
I've gone along with you.

113
00:07:05,508 --> 00:07:11,514
I've held your hand, I've sung you
lullabies, I patted you on the shoulder.

114
00:07:11,598 --> 00:07:16,102
I've also covered for you the 110
performances you've run out on.

115
00:07:16,144 --> 00:07:20,190
I've thought of excuses that
haven't even been invented, yet.

116
00:07:20,273 --> 00:07:23,777
I've gone without
commission, without sleep.

117
00:07:23,860 --> 00:07:28,031
And why? Because I thought
I had a talented article here

118
00:07:28,114 --> 00:07:32,035
that eventually was gonna crawl
out from under a bottle and hit it big.

119
00:07:34,829 --> 00:07:40,418
Well, I don't think you're such a
talented article anymore, Jerry.

120
00:07:42,754 --> 00:07:47,634
Let's put it this way.
Maybe I think you could be,

121
00:07:47,676 --> 00:07:49,719
but you're never going to.

122
00:07:49,803 --> 00:07:52,347
I think you're
a self-indul gent sot

123
00:07:52,430 --> 00:07:54,683
with an o Vera ctive
ima Gina tion,

124
00:07:54,766 --> 00:07:57,769
and the onl y thing you like
better than scotch is sympa thy.

125
00:08:02,399 --> 00:08:05,902
I'm gonna give you just 24
hours to straighten out.

126
00:08:05,986 --> 00:08:10,657
Get rid of that bottle and get rid of the
crazy obsession that you're battling a dummy.

127
00:08:18,289 --> 00:08:22,002
Frank... he's alive.

128
00:08:23,169 --> 00:08:25,171
Willy's not a dummy.

129
00:08:35,807 --> 00:08:37,934
That's a dummy.

130
00:08:39,853 --> 00:08:41,771
And that's the answer.

131
00:08:41,855 --> 00:08:43,773
Go on.

132
00:08:43,857 --> 00:08:47,527
Gotta get rid of Willy,
make a whole new routine.

133
00:08:47,569 --> 00:08:49,529
A whole new routine takes time.

134
00:08:49,571 --> 00:08:51,823
You've got another
show in half an hour.

135
00:08:51,906 --> 00:08:54,951
Tell them I can't make the late
show. Tell them I'm sick or something.

136
00:08:55,035 --> 00:08:58,538
I've already told them. The
trouble is, they know it's "something."

137
00:08:58,580 --> 00:09:01,791
And tihi ev [knew/w I©imi
etihiiiin].

138
00:09:01,875 --> 00:09:05,128
Jerry, you pull yourself together.
And when you hear your music

139
00:09:05,211 --> 00:09:09,758
you be out on that stage. I don't care
which dummy you bring, but you be out there.

140
00:09:09,841 --> 00:09:12,469
This is one I don't
cover for, Jerry.

141
00:09:19,809 --> 00:09:23,980
[Audience applauds]

142
00:09:24,064 --> 00:09:28,068
Say, goofy goggles, why don't
you have your glasses fixed?

143
00:09:28,151 --> 00:09:31,446
I don't have to. My eyes
are much better now.

144
00:09:31,529 --> 00:09:34,407
Goofy, you're looking at
the band leader. I'm over here.

145
00:09:34,449 --> 00:09:39,829
Keep talking, I'll find you. Say,
etherson, I've been meaning to tell you

146
00:09:39,913 --> 00:09:42,749
you put too much
starch in my collar.

147
00:09:42,791 --> 00:09:47,087
Too much starch in your
collar? I'm not your laundry man.

148
00:09:47,128 --> 00:09:51,341
Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna
make it, you and me.

149
00:09:51,424 --> 00:09:53,384
Justyou and me.

150
00:10:26,417 --> 00:10:29,462
Jerry. Marsha, listen to this.
Make me talk, Jerry, come on.

151
00:10:29,546 --> 00:10:31,506
Look, Noreen, I'm on
in a couple of minutes.

152
00:10:31,589 --> 00:10:33,967
Makes you sound just
like Willy. Come on.

153
00:10:34,008 --> 00:10:36,136
(Willy) Knock l7' off,
babe, tha t t/ckl es.

154
00:10:36,177 --> 00:10:38,012
Willy, shut up!

155
00:10:38,096 --> 00:10:40,682
Is that wild? Is that wild?

156
00:10:50,984 --> 00:10:53,820
[Applause]

157
00:10:57,949 --> 00:11:01,327
Goofy. Goofy, I think it's time
you had your glasses fixed.

158
00:11:01,411 --> 00:11:03,163
I really do.

159
00:11:03,246 --> 00:11:05,165
My eyes are much better now.

160
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:07,876
Goofy, you're talking to
the band leader. I'm over here.

161
00:11:07,959 --> 00:11:10,086
Keep talking, I'll find you.

162
00:11:10,170 --> 00:11:12,380
Goofy, I think you
need your eyes tested.

163
00:11:12,463 --> 00:11:13,715
Eyes tested?

164
00:11:13,798 --> 00:11:15,341
That's right. Eyes tested.

165
00:11:15,383 --> 00:11:16,676
Well, I'm ready.

166
00:11:16,718 --> 00:11:19,512
All right, here.

167
00:11:19,596 --> 00:11:21,723
Now, tell me what that says.

168
00:11:21,806 --> 00:11:23,266
Where?

169
00:11:23,349 --> 00:11:25,018
[Laughter]

170
00:11:25,101 --> 00:11:29,439
Oh. That thing.
How about a hint?

171
00:11:29,522 --> 00:11:33,026
Goofy, it's-it's clear as
day. It's right in front of you.

172
00:11:33,109 --> 00:11:34,944
Just give me a hint.

173
00:11:35,028 --> 00:11:38,448
Well, it's a letter, and
it's between "d" and "f."

174
00:11:38,531 --> 00:11:41,451
I've got it. It's "e."

175
00:11:41,534 --> 00:11:43,745
I don't know how
you do it, goofy.

176
00:11:43,828 --> 00:11:46,873
I cannot tell a lie.
I memorized it.

177
00:11:46,915 --> 00:11:49,417
Oh, for goodness' sake.
Sing your song, will you?

178
00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:54,380
Fl are the stars out tonight? Fl

179
00:11:54,422 --> 00:11:59,636
fl I don't know if
it's cloudy or bright fl

180
00:11:59,719 --> 00:12:02,388
fl 'cause I only have eyes fl

181
00:12:02,430 --> 00:12:04,265
cute act, isn't it, Georgie?

182
00:12:04,349 --> 00:12:06,351
What's cute about it?

183
00:12:06,434 --> 00:12:09,270
Besides, I liked the old dummy
better. Why did he change it?

184
00:12:09,354 --> 00:12:12,273
You know, brightens it up a
little. Gives it some novelty.

185
00:12:12,357 --> 00:12:15,985
Novelty? With a ventriloquist?

186
00:12:16,069 --> 00:12:18,821
Frankie, you've seen one,
you've seen them all.

187
00:12:18,905 --> 00:12:22,242
Every dummy looks the same. And
if just once they changed the jokes,

188
00:12:22,325 --> 00:12:25,245
I'd have a coronary.

189
00:12:25,328 --> 00:12:26,746
What's with etherson, anyway?

190
00:12:26,829 --> 00:12:29,082
What do you mean?

191
00:12:29,123 --> 00:12:32,335
Usually the acts mix with the trade,
you know, walk down on the floor,

192
00:12:32,418 --> 00:12:34,671
do a little drinking
with the customers.

193
00:12:34,754 --> 00:12:37,090
This guy plays it
like Greta garbo.

194
00:12:37,131 --> 00:12:41,344
Locks himself up in his
room like a prima Donna.

195
00:12:41,427 --> 00:12:42,762
Well, he's nervous tonight.

196
00:12:42,845 --> 00:12:45,139
Why?

197
00:12:45,223 --> 00:12:48,643
You know, he hasn't been well. It's
his first night out in a month or so.

198
00:12:48,726 --> 00:12:51,187
Give him a chance, Georgie.
He'll warm up for you.

199
00:12:51,271 --> 00:12:53,856
Well, you tell him to. Tell
him to bring the dummy out

200
00:12:53,940 --> 00:12:57,360
and walk around the
tables after the show.

201
00:12:57,443 --> 00:13:00,113
It's, uh,
psychological, Frankie.

202
00:13:00,196 --> 00:13:02,615
Makes people thirsty.

[Dance music starts]

207
00:13:32,603 --> 00:13:34,480
Sweet dreams, Willy.

208
00:13:34,564 --> 00:13:37,483
Your next booking
is in the fireplace.

209
00:14:05,887 --> 00:14:07,513
You leaving?

210
00:14:07,597 --> 00:14:09,682
What's it look like, frank?

211
00:14:09,766 --> 00:14:12,727
It looks like you're leaving.

212
00:14:12,810 --> 00:14:14,687
I waited for you
after the last show.

213
00:14:14,729 --> 00:14:17,231
Georgie was hoping you'd
mix with the customers.

214
00:14:17,315 --> 00:14:21,027
You tell Georgie I'm
aventriloquist, not a shill.

215
00:14:21,069 --> 00:14:23,863
Why don't you tell him?

216
00:14:23,905 --> 00:14:26,366
What does that mean?

217
00:14:26,407 --> 00:14:28,951
That means I'm
resigning from the club.

218
00:14:29,035 --> 00:14:32,789
You keep your ten percent,
and I'll keep my self-respect.

219
00:14:32,872 --> 00:14:38,711
Also my sense of humor, my regular
meals, my normal working hours.

220
00:14:38,753 --> 00:14:40,922
You and I have had it, Jerry.

221
00:14:41,005 --> 00:14:43,591
I have gone the
route and then some.

222
00:14:43,674 --> 00:14:46,094
You don't need an agent.
You need medical help.

223
00:14:46,177 --> 00:14:49,806
I think it's reached that now.

224
00:14:49,889 --> 00:14:52,141
You never believed me,
did you, frank?

225
00:14:52,225 --> 00:14:54,727
Yeah, I believed you.

226
00:14:54,811 --> 00:14:59,065
I believed you had obsessions. I believe
those obsessions were eating you up alive

227
00:14:59,107 --> 00:15:02,402
but I also believe, Jerry,
you're letting them.

228
00:15:02,485 --> 00:15:04,570
He talks when I don't talk.

229
00:15:04,654 --> 00:15:07,490
He tells jokes I never heard
of before, gives me bum cues.

230
00:15:07,573 --> 00:15:10,743
He's alive, frank. That's why
I locked him in that trunk.

231
00:15:12,578 --> 00:15:15,289
Goofy and I are gonna
fly out of here, frank.

232
00:15:15,373 --> 00:15:19,502
We'll fly to Miami, Los Angeles,
maybe that place in Kansas City.

233
00:15:19,585 --> 00:15:22,630
The place in Kansas City
is the same as Miami,

234
00:15:22,713 --> 00:15:26,134
which is the same as Los Angeles
which is the same as sioux city, Iowa,

235
00:15:26,217 --> 00:15:29,011
which is the same as any town
south, west, north of here.

236
00:15:29,095 --> 00:15:32,765
They're all the same, Jerry.
And you're not gonna leave Willy

237
00:15:32,807 --> 00:15:37,687
by hopping a plane or a train,
or a taxi or a one-horse shay.

238
00:15:37,770 --> 00:15:40,189

lick at the source.

don't run away from.

265

"this is so sudden."

happens to be sudden.

00:24:13,494 --> 00:24:16,497
Next week through the good
offices of Mr. Richard Matheson

we tell you a story
of a young man's fancy,

337
00:24:18,916 --> 00:24:22,044
which is kind of a euphemistic
description of a mortal combat

338
00:24:22,127 --> 00:24:25,798
between the living and the dead,
between the present and the past,

339
00:24:25,881 --> 00:24:29,009
between miss Phyllis thaxter
and Mr. Alex nicol.

340
00:24:29,093 --> 00:24:32,805
The battleground is this old house,
and its front door will be opened to you

341
00:24:32,888 --> 00:24:36,141
next week on the twilight zone.
