1
00:00:09,927 --> 00:00:12,930
You're tra vel/ng
through another dimension.

2
00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:16,350
A dimension not onl y of
sightand sound, but of mind.

3
00:00:16,433 --> 00:00:20,103
A journey into a wondrous land whose
boundaries are tha t of ima Gina t/on.

4
00:00:20,187 --> 00:00:22,314
Your next stop,
the twilight zone.

5
00:00:29,863 --> 00:00:35,244
You're looking a t the house of
the la te Mrs. Henrietta Walker.

6
00:00:35,327 --> 00:00:39,915
This is Mrs. Walker herself,
as she appeared 25 years ago.

7
00:00:42,459 --> 00:00:44,962
And this, except
for isola Ted objects,

8
00:00:45,045 --> 00:00:47,881
is the living room
of Mrs. Walker's house

9
00:00:47,923 --> 00:00:50,717
as itappeared
in tha t same year.

10
00:00:50,759 --> 00:00:53,971
The other rooms upstairs
and down are much the same.

11
00:00:54,054 --> 00:00:58,892
The time, however, is
not 25 years ago, but now.

12
00:00:58,976 --> 00:01:02,563
The house of the late Mrs.
Henrietta Walker is, you see,

13
00:01:02,604 --> 00:01:05,983
a house which belongs
almost entirely to the past.

14
00:01:06,066 --> 00:01:08,986
A house which, like
Mrs. Walker's clock here,

15
00:01:09,069 --> 00:01:12,155
has ceased to recognize
the passage of time.

16
00:01:12,239 --> 00:01:14,575
Only one element is missing now.

17
00:01:14,616 --> 00:01:18,662
One remaining item in the
estate of the late Mrs. Walker:

18
00:01:18,745 --> 00:01:24,084
Her son Alex, 34 years ofage,
and up till 20 minutes ago,

19
00:01:24,167 --> 00:01:27,170
the so-oalled
perenn/al ba ohel or.

20
00:01:27,254 --> 00:01:30,173
With him is his bride, the
former miss virgin/a Lane.

21
00:01:30,257 --> 00:01:34,428
They're returning from the city hall in
order to get Mr. Walker's clothes packed,

22
00:01:34,469 --> 00:01:37,014
make final arrangements
for the sale of the house,

23
00:01:37,097 --> 00:01:39,474
lock it up and depart
on their honeymoon.

24
00:01:39,558 --> 00:01:43,645
Not a complicated set
of tasks, it would appear,

25
00:01:43,729 --> 00:01:46,481
and yet the newlywed Mrs.
Walker is about to discover

26
00:01:46,565 --> 00:01:50,319
that the old adage
"you can't go home again"

27
00:01:50,402 --> 00:01:54,281
has little meaning
in the twilight zone.

28
00:02:17,929 --> 00:02:19,598
Thank you, darling.

29
00:02:24,770 --> 00:02:26,229
Well.

30
00:02:26,313 --> 00:02:29,650
Well, shall we get
started? Darling?

31
00:02:29,691 --> 00:02:31,693
Yes, of course.

32
00:02:31,777 --> 00:02:34,237
Did you call Mr. Wilkinson
and tell him when we'd be back?

33
00:02:34,321 --> 00:02:36,823
Oh, no, I forgot.

34
00:02:36,865 --> 00:02:40,410
Well, you'd better call him now, then. You
have to sign the papers before we leave.

35
00:02:40,494 --> 00:02:42,996
Yes, of course.

36
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,751
Oh. I thought I'd clean the place up a little
before we left. I'll get it out of here.

37
00:02:47,834 --> 00:02:50,879
Uh-uh. You go call
Mr. Wilkinson.

38
00:02:58,637 --> 00:03:01,932
I-I thought I left his card
right here. I can't seem to find it.

39
00:03:02,015 --> 00:03:04,434
Well, get the number
from information.

40
00:03:04,518 --> 00:03:06,770
Oh, of course.

41
00:03:06,853 --> 00:03:09,773
Look. I'll tell you what.
You go on up and pack,

42
00:03:09,856 --> 00:03:14,069
and I'll call
Mr. Wilkinson, all right?

43
00:03:14,152 --> 00:03:17,698
Oh, darling, everything's
gonna be all right.

44
00:03:17,781 --> 00:03:20,784
I'm so happy to be
Mrs. Walker at last,

45
00:03:20,867 --> 00:03:23,787
after all these years.

46
00:03:25,831 --> 00:03:28,583
Come on, go on up and pack.

47
00:03:28,667 --> 00:03:30,377
All right.

48
00:04:12,294 --> 00:04:16,339
Oh, uh, would you give me the
number of wilkinson realty, please?

49
00:04:16,423 --> 00:04:18,008
On main street.

50
00:04:42,532 --> 00:04:45,035
Thank you.

51
00:04:53,251 --> 00:04:56,546
Mr. Wilkinson? V/rg/n/a Lane.

52
00:04:56,630 --> 00:05:01,051
Oh, I mean, Virginia Walker.

53
00:05:01,134 --> 00:05:03,637
Yes, yes, just now.

54
00:05:03,678 --> 00:05:06,515
Oh, thank you, Mr. Wilkinson.

55
00:05:06,598 --> 00:05:09,184
Oh, yes, I amvery happy.

56
00:05:09,267 --> 00:05:11,311
Yes, we're back now.

57
00:05:11,353 --> 00:05:14,272
If you'd bring the papers over
so Mr. Walker can sign them,

58
00:05:14,356 --> 00:05:16,566
you can show the house
while we're gone.

59
00:05:16,650 --> 00:05:18,693
Oh, right away.

60
00:05:18,777 --> 00:05:21,738
Fine. We'll see you
in a few minutes.

61
00:05:21,822 --> 00:05:23,740
Thank you.

62
00:05:23,824 --> 00:05:26,368
Alex, I thought you were gonna...

63
00:05:26,451 --> 00:05:30,664
Oh, there's plenty of time. What do you think
we should take out of here when we move?

64
00:05:30,705 --> 00:05:33,416
The television
set, I guess, huh?

65
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:36,378
And, uh, the electric clock.

66
00:05:36,461 --> 00:05:38,338
It's onl ya few years old.

67
00:05:41,132 --> 00:05:46,221
Darling, I thought we decided to
discuss all that after the house was sold.

68
00:05:46,304 --> 00:05:50,100
Sold? I-I know, but
I-I just thought

69
00:05:50,183 --> 00:05:53,603
that maybe we should decide now.

70
00:05:53,687 --> 00:05:56,690
I-I mean, like, in the
kitchen, for instance.

71
00:05:56,773 --> 00:05:59,901
We'll take the refrigerator
and the stove. They're pretty new.

72
00:05:59,985 --> 00:06:02,737
I just bought them for
mother a few months...

73
00:06:02,821 --> 00:06:05,198
A few months before she died.

74
00:06:05,282 --> 00:06:09,452
All right, Alex, fine. We'll discuss it
later, but we've really got to leave.

75
00:06:09,536 --> 00:06:11,204
Of course.

76
00:06:11,246 --> 00:06:13,623
Well?

77
00:06:13,707 --> 00:06:16,960
What about the radio? It's pretty
old, but we could have it fixed.

78
00:06:17,043 --> 00:06:19,045
Maybe it works now.

79
00:06:20,922 --> 00:06:23,133
Look at it.

80
00:06:23,216 --> 00:06:27,053
It weighs a ton, I bet.
Look at all this carving.

81
00:06:27,137 --> 00:06:30,724
All the work they put
into it, the craft.

82
00:06:30,765 --> 00:06:33,977
The programs we used
to hear on this.

83
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:36,479
Major bowes, Fred Allen,

84
00:06:36,563 --> 00:06:39,316
and all the music.

85
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:43,987
We used to sit in here all
the time listening to music.

86
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:46,615
Mother's favorite
was eddy duchin.

87
00:06:48,742 --> 00:06:53,079
I just remembered. She used to
be crazy about a record of his

88
00:06:53,121 --> 00:06:56,833
called the lady/n red.
You remember that?

89
00:06:56,917 --> 00:06:58,668
Fl the lady in red fl

90
00:06:58,752 --> 00:07:02,714
fl all the fellows are
crazy for the lady in red fl

91
00:07:06,551 --> 00:07:08,803
broken.

92
00:07:08,887 --> 00:07:11,056
I-I knew it was.

93
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,984
She used to sit in this chair

94
00:07:23,068 --> 00:07:25,111
and look at the movie magazine.

95
00:07:27,948 --> 00:07:31,034
Funny I should
remember that, too.

96
00:07:31,117 --> 00:07:33,536
She gave it up a long time ago.

97
00:07:36,206 --> 00:07:40,794
Sometimes, she'd make a pan of
fudge for us, and we'd sit here...

98
00:07:40,835 --> 00:07:45,882
Alex, darling, come on. We have
to leave when Mr. Wilkinson comes.

99
00:07:50,345 --> 00:07:53,515
Maybe we could get this fixed.

100
00:07:53,598 --> 00:07:56,142
Used to be a real good clock.

101
00:07:56,184 --> 00:07:58,645
We'll discuss that later, huh?

102
00:08:27,298 --> 00:08:29,426
He's mine now!

103
00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:32,929
You'll never get your
claws on him again.

104
00:09:42,874 --> 00:09:45,919
Alex? Alex!

105
00:10:13,613 --> 00:10:16,116
Oh, h, uh, I was just looking

106
00:10:16,157 --> 00:10:19,953
at some of my old
things that mother kept.

107
00:10:20,036 --> 00:10:24,707
Look. Looks as good as ever.

108
00:10:32,048 --> 00:10:33,842
Alex, I thought you were going...

109
00:10:33,925 --> 00:10:39,139
Look! The hardyboys
In secret of the ca ves.

110
00:10:39,180 --> 00:10:42,642
B/ll bol ton /n h/dden dangers.

111
00:10:42,684 --> 00:10:46,187
Tarzan and the antmen.

112
00:10:46,271 --> 00:10:49,065
Tarzan and the jewels of opar.

113
00:10:49,149 --> 00:10:51,025
Alex, please.

114
00:10:51,109 --> 00:10:53,486
Remember these?

115
00:10:53,528 --> 00:10:56,072
Funny old things.

116
00:10:56,156 --> 00:10:58,158
Alex.

117
00:10:58,241 --> 00:11:01,411
Oh, and the stockings
that went with them.

118
00:11:01,494 --> 00:11:04,831
Stockings for a boy.

119
00:11:06,833 --> 00:11:09,919
"It takes a real boy
to know a real stocking."

120
00:11:13,423 --> 00:11:15,341
Funny / should remember tha t.

121
00:11:15,425 --> 00:11:20,680
It's a quote from an ad in
a mail-order catalogue of...

122
00:11:23,349 --> 00:11:26,603
Gosh, it must be 25 years ago.

123
00:11:28,730 --> 00:11:31,024
I-I wonder why mother kept them.

124
00:11:31,065 --> 00:11:34,277
Because she would
have liked for you to stay

125
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,613
exactly as you were
when you first wore them.

126
00:11:40,366 --> 00:11:43,912
I'm sorry, Alex.
I-I didn't mean that.

127
00:11:43,995 --> 00:11:45,955
You're not angry
with me, are you?

128
00:11:47,832 --> 00:11:49,751
It's just that I
want us to be happy.

129
00:11:49,834 --> 00:11:52,712
Alex, that's all
I've ever wanted.

130
00:11:58,551 --> 00:12:00,970
Do you, uh, want me to help?

131
00:12:01,054 --> 00:12:03,389
I can manage.

132
00:12:03,431 --> 00:12:05,433
You aren't angry
with me, are you?

133
00:12:09,312 --> 00:12:12,565
I'll make you happy,
Alex. You'll see.

134
00:12:12,607 --> 00:12:15,026
You won't be sorry.

135
00:12:25,036 --> 00:12:28,957
Uh... I'll wait for Mr.
Wilkinson downstairs.

136
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,251
He should be here
any moment now.

137
00:12:50,603 --> 00:12:53,773
I don't wanna sell the house.

138
00:12:53,856 --> 00:12:56,276
I don't want to sell it, mother.

139
00:13:46,659 --> 00:13:48,244
Afternoon, Mrs. Walker.

140
00:13:48,328 --> 00:13:50,204
Oh, Mr. Wilkinson,
won't you come in?

141
00:13:50,288 --> 00:13:52,040
Thank you kindly, ma'am.

142
00:13:55,126 --> 00:13:57,920
Oh, won't you go in the
living room? I'll get Mr. Walker.

143
00:13:58,004 --> 00:14:00,381
Fine and dandy.

144
00:14:00,465 --> 00:14:03,176
Alex. Alex, darling.

145
00:14:04,969 --> 00:14:08,181
Mr. Wilkinson's here
with the papers.

146
00:14:08,264 --> 00:14:10,892
Uh, yes, of course.

147
00:14:19,859 --> 00:14:22,904
Afternoon, Mr. Walker.
Congratulations to you, sir.

148
00:14:22,987 --> 00:14:25,198
You have the papers?

149
00:14:25,239 --> 00:14:28,201
Right here, ma'am. Oh, but first,
I wonder if I could trouble you

150
00:14:28,242 --> 00:14:31,454
for the use of your telephone?
You see, I forgot to tell my secretary

151
00:14:31,537 --> 00:14:34,874
where I'd be, and I'm expecting a
pretty important call from out of town.

152
00:14:34,957 --> 00:14:36,876
I'll call her for you.

153
00:14:36,918 --> 00:14:39,462
Oh? Well, all right. Well,
in that case, Mr. Walker...

154
00:14:39,545 --> 00:14:41,589
Why don't you use
the dining room table?

155
00:14:41,672 --> 00:14:44,675
Fine and dandy. After you, sir.

156
00:14:51,432 --> 00:14:55,395
Make it as soon as possible,
darling. We really have to leave.

157
00:14:56,396 --> 00:14:58,398
Now, then,

158
00:14:58,481 --> 00:15:01,484
as you can see right
here, Mr. Walker...

159
00:15:14,414 --> 00:15:16,416
Well, I think I'd
better do it myself.

160
00:15:16,457 --> 00:15:18,835
I have to tell my secretary
some things anyway.

161
00:15:18,918 --> 00:15:21,295
You sign right here, Mr. Walker.

162
00:15:35,351 --> 00:15:39,939
Maggie? Jim. I'm over at
henrietta Walker's house.

163
00:15:39,981 --> 00:15:42,191
Would you put that call
through to me here

164
00:15:42,275 --> 00:15:45,027
if it comes in in the next
ten or fifteen minutes or so?

165
00:15:45,111 --> 00:15:49,115
Fine. Oh, and call Mr. Fisher and tell him
thatescrow has been approved for 60 da ys

166
00:15:49,198 --> 00:15:53,453
and we have the form ready for
him to sign. Right. Fine and dandy.

167
00:15:53,536 --> 00:15:57,039
I'll see you, Maggie. Bye.

168
00:15:57,123 --> 00:16:01,169
No, sir, we won't have any
trouble selling this house at all.

169
00:16:04,255 --> 00:16:07,467
There something you don't
understand, Mr. Walker?

170
00:16:07,550 --> 00:16:10,678
Uh, no, I, uh,
I-I think I'll wait.

171
00:16:12,305 --> 00:16:13,931
Wait?

172
00:16:14,015 --> 00:16:16,893
Yes, until we return.
I wanna think about it.

173
00:16:16,976 --> 00:16:18,311
But darling...

174
00:16:18,394 --> 00:16:19,896
I just want to think about it!

175
00:16:19,979 --> 00:16:21,898
Alex.

176
00:16:21,981 --> 00:16:24,734
I'm sorry to cause you so
much trouble, Mr. Wilkinson.

177
00:16:24,817 --> 00:16:28,154
Sure, sure. You're positive?

178
00:16:28,237 --> 00:16:30,531
I'm positive.

179
00:16:30,615 --> 00:16:33,034
Well, all right.

180
00:16:33,117 --> 00:16:36,078
I'll get in touch with
you on your return.

181
00:16:36,162 --> 00:16:39,499
Well, have a nice honeymoon.

182
00:16:42,668 --> 00:16:45,546
Oh, never mind, miss Lane.

183
00:16:45,630 --> 00:16:47,882
Mrs. Walker.

184
00:16:59,685 --> 00:17:01,187
I-I'll pack.

185
00:17:01,229 --> 00:17:03,105
Alex. Alex, you promised.

186
00:17:03,189 --> 00:17:05,066
What do you mean?

187
00:17:05,149 --> 00:17:07,693
You know what I mean. You
promised to sell this house.

188
00:17:07,735 --> 00:17:09,695
Oh, i-I'm not
backing down, virg.

189
00:17:09,737 --> 00:17:12,365
I just want a little time
to think about it. That's all.

190
00:17:12,406 --> 00:17:15,368
What is there to think about?

191
00:17:15,451 --> 00:17:19,455
Well, I-I-I just don't like the idea
of people tramping in and out...

192
00:17:19,539 --> 00:17:22,375
That's just an excuse.
That's not the reason.

193
00:17:22,416 --> 00:17:24,752
Oh, yes, it is, virg.

194
00:17:24,835 --> 00:17:28,965
All right, never mind. Just
pack, and let's get out of here.

195
00:17:34,428 --> 00:17:36,305
What is it?

196
00:17:36,389 --> 00:17:38,558
Couldn't...

197
00:17:38,641 --> 00:17:42,770
I-I mean, couldn't we live here,
virg? It's a pretty nice house.

198
00:17:42,853 --> 00:17:45,147
Oh, Alex, no!

199
00:17:45,231 --> 00:17:49,402
Don't just say no without thinking
about it. We could redecorate a little.

200
00:17:49,485 --> 00:17:54,323
I wanna get out of here. I
just-i want to leave right now.

201
00:17:54,407 --> 00:18:00,079
Alex, you promised me when your
mother died, you'd sell this house.

202
00:18:00,162 --> 00:18:02,331
Well, she's dead. Alex, dead!

203
00:18:02,415 --> 00:18:04,834
She's been dead for a year now,

204
00:18:04,917 --> 00:18:07,837
and I waited that year
and all the years before.

205
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:12,133
Twelve years. Twelve long
years of waiting for you.

206
00:18:12,216 --> 00:18:15,344
Well, now, I-I want my own home.

207
00:18:15,428 --> 00:18:17,346
I have a right to that.

208
00:18:20,266 --> 00:18:22,852
Don't look at me like that.

209
00:18:22,935 --> 00:18:26,814
Don't look at me as if
you don't even know me.

210
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,777
Alex, please.

211
00:18:31,861 --> 00:18:34,447
Please, don't do this to me.

212
00:18:34,488 --> 00:18:39,118
I love you. I want to care for
you and make a home for you,

213
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,621
but our home, not hers.

214
00:18:41,662 --> 00:18:44,957
We've waited so long, darling.

215
00:18:45,041 --> 00:18:47,543
I know, you told me she
was sick, and we couldn't...

216
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:50,796
She was sick, virg. She lost
her health taking care of me

217
00:18:50,838 --> 00:18:53,466
and this house for
more than 20 years.

218
00:18:53,549 --> 00:18:57,887
My father deserted us when I was
two months old, virg. Two months old!

219
00:18:57,970 --> 00:19:00,973
All right, all right.

220
00:19:01,015 --> 00:19:04,018
Let's go. Let's get out of here.

221
00:19:12,693 --> 00:19:14,028
Virg.

222
00:19:19,158 --> 00:19:21,494
I'm not going to sell
the house, virg.

223
00:19:21,577 --> 00:19:25,498
We'll have it redecorated,
maybe get some new furniture.

224
00:19:25,539 --> 00:19:27,625
We'll talk about it later.

225
00:19:34,131 --> 00:19:37,885
No, Alex. I won't let you.

226
00:19:54,443 --> 00:19:56,696
We'll get outof here.

227
00:19:58,531 --> 00:20:00,241
I'll get my purse.

228
00:20:24,473 --> 00:20:28,060
I won't let you.
I won't let you!

229
00:21:34,293 --> 00:21:36,420
Alex! Alex!

230
00:21:41,759 --> 00:21:45,554
No. No, you can't have him.

231
00:21:45,638 --> 00:21:48,641
I won't let you have him.

232
00:21:48,724 --> 00:21:52,061
He's mine now. Mine!

233
00:21:53,771 --> 00:21:58,567
Yes, he is, because
I'm right for him.

234
00:21:58,651 --> 00:22:02,071
I won't try to destroy
him like you did.

235
00:22:02,154 --> 00:22:04,406
My love will make him strong,

236
00:22:04,490 --> 00:22:08,160
not weak, not dependent.

237
00:22:08,202 --> 00:22:10,579
Yes, it's true.

238
00:22:10,663 --> 00:22:15,209
You've always known it's
true, and you hated me for it.

239
00:22:15,292 --> 00:22:18,838
Well, your hatred
isn't strong enough now.

240
00:22:18,879 --> 00:22:22,925
Your desire to dominate
him isn't strong enough.

241
00:22:23,008 --> 00:22:26,345
He's not your little boyanymore.

242
00:22:26,387 --> 00:22:27,930
Lea ve him be.

243
00:22:28,013 --> 00:22:31,267
You will not have him back!

244
00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:33,853
This is not my doing.

245
00:22:44,029 --> 00:22:45,865
Come back to me, mother.

246
00:22:47,366 --> 00:22:48,826
I want you to.

247
00:23:00,337 --> 00:23:04,800
Alex... not you.

248
00:23:04,884 --> 00:23:06,427
Oh!

249
00:23:06,510 --> 00:23:09,388
Can we go to the park
and then to the zoo

250
00:23:09,471 --> 00:23:11,724
and have two ice cream cones?

251
00:23:11,765 --> 00:23:13,601
Oh, boy.

252
00:23:22,443 --> 00:23:24,486
Go away, lady.

253
00:23:24,570 --> 00:23:27,573
We don't need you anymore.

254
00:23:42,046 --> 00:23:45,132
Exit miss virgin/a Lane,

255
00:23:45,215 --> 00:23:49,929
formerl yand most
briefl y Mrs. Alex Walker.

256
00:23:49,970 --> 00:23:53,766
She has just given up a ba ttle
and in a strange way retrea Ted,

257
00:23:53,807 --> 00:23:56,602
but this has beena
retrea t ba ck to reality.

258
00:23:56,685 --> 00:24:01,982
Her opponent, Alex Walker, will nowand
forever hold a line that exists in the past.

259
00:24:02,066 --> 00:24:04,526
He has puta claim
on a moment in time

260
00:24:04,610 --> 00:24:06,695
and is notabout
to rel/nou/sh it.

261
00:24:06,779 --> 00:24:10,616
Such things do happen
in the twilight zone.

262
00:24:17,915 --> 00:24:21,001
Rod serl/ng,
crea Tor of the twilight zone,

263
00:24:21,085 --> 00:24:25,714
will tell youabout next
week's story after this message.

264
00:24:25,798 --> 00:24:27,800
And now, Mr. Serling.

265
00:24:27,883 --> 00:24:30,177
The name ray bradbury
has become synonymous

266
00:24:30,260 --> 00:24:32,721
with a new horizon
of American writing.

267
00:24:32,805 --> 00:24:36,183
Next week on the twilight zone,
we present a typical bradbury tale.

268
00:24:36,266 --> 00:24:38,352
It also has typical
bradbury ingredients,

269
00:24:38,435 --> 00:24:40,813
including a grandmother
built in a factory.

270
00:24:40,854 --> 00:24:44,149
If this doesn't intrigue you,
then I'm simply not doing justice

271
00:24:44,191 --> 00:24:49,863

272
00:25:18,684 --> 00:25:21,562
This is James arness.

273
00:25:21,645 --> 00:25:25,941
You know, it's onl ya short hop from the
twilight zone to dodge city and gunsmoke.

274
00:25:26,025 --> 00:25:28,360
Sa turda y nights over
most of these stations.

275
00:25:45,501 --> 00:25:45,502
get lots more from I&m. Lots more.

276
00:25:45,503 --> 00:25:47,663
