[Eerie music]

00:00:06,340 --> 00:00:10,093
(Narrator) You unlock this door
with the k e y of ima Gina t/on.

3
00:00:10,177 --> 00:00:12,054
Beyond it is another dimension...

4
00:00:12,137 --> 00:00:13,263
A dimension of sound,

5
00:00:13,347 --> 00:00:14,515
[glass shattering]

6
00:00:14,598 --> 00:00:16,099
A dimension of sight,

7
00:00:16,183 --> 00:00:18,560
a dimension of mind.

8
00:00:18,644 --> 00:00:21,438
You're moving into a land
of both shadowand substance,

9
00:00:21,522 --> 00:00:23,398
of things and ideas.

10
00:00:23,482 --> 00:00:26,610
You've just crossed over
into the twilight zone.

11
00:00:38,205 --> 00:00:40,707
I can't decide...

12
00:00:40,791 --> 00:00:44,419
Eight or 12.

13
00:00:44,503 --> 00:00:46,505
I think 12 might
suit you better.

14
00:00:46,588 --> 00:00:48,257
What do you think, Marilyn?

15
00:00:48,340 --> 00:00:49,800
Hmm?

16
00:00:49,883 --> 00:00:53,136
You weren't even listening.

17
00:00:53,220 --> 00:00:55,222
I'm sorry, mother.

18
00:00:55,305 --> 00:00:57,349
I don't understand you, darling.

19
00:00:57,432 --> 00:01:00,519
Most girls are thrilled when
it comes time to pick a pattern.

20
00:01:00,602 --> 00:01:02,145
You haven't even looked

21
00:01:02,229 --> 00:01:03,981
at the ones the
bureau sent over.

22
00:01:04,064 --> 00:01:05,524
Oh, I looked at them.

23
00:01:08,193 --> 00:01:11,321
I remember how excited
I was before I was done.

24
00:01:11,405 --> 00:01:13,073
I couldn't sleep for nights.

25
00:01:20,038 --> 00:01:25,919
I finally chose number 12.

26
00:01:26,003 --> 00:01:27,963
I guess that's
everybody's favorite.

27
00:01:28,046 --> 00:01:32,301
Aren't you excited?

28
00:01:32,384 --> 00:01:35,345
Marilyn, what are
you looking at, dear?

29
00:01:35,429 --> 00:01:37,931
You, a picture of you before.

30
00:01:38,015 --> 00:01:40,100
Oh, dear.

31
00:01:40,183 --> 00:01:41,727
It is you, isn't it?

32
00:01:41,810 --> 00:01:44,896
Yes, that's me before
my transformation.

33
00:01:44,980 --> 00:01:47,316
I wasa sight, wasn't I?

34
00:01:47,399 --> 00:01:49,359
Mother, I think
you were beautiful.

35
00:01:49,443 --> 00:01:51,320
Well, I certainly don't.

36
00:01:51,403 --> 00:01:54,197
Am I very homely now?

37
00:01:54,281 --> 00:01:56,992
No, darling, not to me.

38
00:01:57,075 --> 00:02:01,330
But afterward,
you'll be beautiful.

39
00:02:01,413 --> 00:02:04,458
Mother, if I didn't want
the transformation,

40
00:02:04,541 --> 00:02:06,835
I wouldn't have
to have it, would I?

41
00:02:06,918 --> 00:02:09,087
Darling, what are
you talking about?

42
00:02:09,171 --> 00:02:11,923
The transformation is
the most marvelous thing

43
00:02:12,007 --> 00:02:13,842
that could happen to a person.

44
00:02:13,925 --> 00:02:16,928
Well, I could wait
a little while, couldn't I?

45
00:02:17,012 --> 00:02:20,057
Don't worry, darling,
you're just nervous.

46
00:02:20,140 --> 00:02:22,976
What you need is a
glass of instant smile.

47
00:02:30,817 --> 00:02:33,570
Just think, very soon now

48
00:02:33,654 --> 00:02:36,406
you can look like that.

49
00:02:36,490 --> 00:02:37,949
Won't tha t be wonderful?

50
00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:45,499
You rang, Mrs. Cuberle?

51
00:02:45,582 --> 00:02:46,875
Lana.

52
00:02:46,958 --> 00:02:49,544
Pardon me... Lana.

53
00:02:49,628 --> 00:02:53,173
I don't know why teaching
you people to use first names

54
00:02:53,256 --> 00:02:55,050
is such a problem.

55
00:02:55,133 --> 00:02:57,761
A glass of instant smile
for Marilyn, please, grace.

56
00:02:57,844 --> 00:03:00,013
On second thought, make it two.

57
00:03:00,097 --> 00:03:03,058
Yes, ma'am.

58
00:03:03,141 --> 00:03:04,351
Lana.

59
00:03:10,190 --> 00:03:14,736
What's so terrible
about being beautiful?

60
00:03:14,820 --> 00:03:18,990
After all, isn't everybody?

61
00:03:19,074 --> 00:03:22,536
(Narrator) Given the
change, what? t young girl

62
00:03:22,619 --> 00:03:25,455
wouldn't happil y exchange
a plain face for a lovelyone?

63
00:03:25,539 --> 00:03:28,458
Wha t girl could refuse the
opportunity to be beautiful?

64
00:03:28,542 --> 00:03:31,837
For want of a better estimate,
let's call it the year 2000.

65
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:33,797
At any rate,
imagine a time in the future

66
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,717
when science has developed
the means of giving everyone

67
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,468
the face and body he dreams of.

68
00:03:38,552 --> 00:03:40,095
It may not happen tomorrow,

69
00:03:40,178 --> 00:03:43,223
but it happens now,
in the twilight zone.

70
00:04:05,746 --> 00:04:06,872
Who is it?

71
00:04:06,955 --> 00:04:08,498
Hi, uncle Rick.

72
00:04:08,582 --> 00:04:10,500
Take it easy with
that uncle Rick stuff.

73
00:04:10,584 --> 00:04:12,794
You trying to make me feel old?

74
00:04:12,878 --> 00:04:14,129
I'm sorry, I forgot.

75
00:04:14,212 --> 00:04:16,173
Now, young lady,

76
00:04:16,256 --> 00:04:19,593
what's all this I've
been hearing about you?

77
00:04:21,178 --> 00:04:23,430
You know, honey, your
mother is very worried.

78
00:04:23,513 --> 00:04:25,098
I don't want to be transformed.

79
00:04:25,182 --> 00:04:26,641
I want to stay ugly.

80
00:04:26,725 --> 00:04:28,769
Oh, you're not ugly,
you're just...

81
00:04:28,852 --> 00:04:30,270
Not beautiful.

82
00:04:30,353 --> 00:04:32,981
Well, I wouldn't
exactly say that.

83
00:04:33,064 --> 00:04:34,232
It's just that, uh...

84
00:04:38,945 --> 00:04:40,864
You're different.

85
00:04:40,947 --> 00:04:42,032
Sit down here.

86
00:04:45,911 --> 00:04:49,956
Marilyn, your father
was transformed.

87
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,335
Yes, number 17 just like you.

88
00:04:53,418 --> 00:04:55,545
A very popular
number these days.

89
00:04:55,629 --> 00:04:58,632
As a matter of fact, it
has been for 20 years.

90
00:04:58,715 --> 00:05:01,384
He wouldn't have settled
for anything less.

91
00:05:01,468 --> 00:05:02,594
But is that good?

92
00:05:02,677 --> 00:05:04,221
Being like everybody...

93
00:05:04,304 --> 00:05:08,350
Isn't that the same
as being nobody?

94
00:05:08,433 --> 00:05:10,185
I think it's time you tell me

95
00:05:10,268 --> 00:05:12,771
where you're getting
these radical ideas.

96
00:05:12,854 --> 00:05:14,189
Daddy once said...

97
00:05:14,272 --> 00:05:15,774
Your father was a handsome man.

98
00:05:15,857 --> 00:05:17,651
I know, but he
thought about things

99
00:05:17,692 --> 00:05:19,152
and he read books.

100
00:05:19,236 --> 00:05:21,196
We talked a lot,
just the two of us.

101
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:22,614
Everybody talks.

102
00:05:22,697 --> 00:05:24,491
No, I mean about real things,

103
00:05:24,574 --> 00:05:26,701
not just about electronic
baseball or super soccer

104
00:05:26,785 --> 00:05:28,620
and where to buy your clothes

105
00:05:28,703 --> 00:05:29,913
or how to fix your hair.

106
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:31,414
Is that bad?

107
00:05:31,498 --> 00:05:32,999
Liking sports,
buying new clothes?

108
00:05:33,083 --> 00:05:34,501
No, of course, it isn't

109
00:05:34,584 --> 00:05:37,462
but there's got
to be more to life.

110
00:05:37,546 --> 00:05:39,256
You don't feel very well.

111
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:41,299
What you need is a nice cup

112
00:05:41,383 --> 00:05:42,717
of instant smile.

113
00:05:42,801 --> 00:05:44,302
I had a cup of instant smile!

114
00:05:44,386 --> 00:05:46,221
I don't feel like
smiling all the time.

115
00:05:46,304 --> 00:05:49,724
Sometimes I want
to cry or frown.

116
00:05:49,808 --> 00:05:51,601
Why don't you understand?

117
00:05:55,063 --> 00:06:00,235
Marilyn, you are
a very sick girl.

118
00:06:00,318 --> 00:06:02,988
(Lana) It's been very nice
talking to you, Valerie.

119
00:06:03,071 --> 00:06:04,447
(Valerie) Thank yo u.

120
00:06:04,531 --> 00:06:05,448
Hi, Marilyn.

121
00:06:05,532 --> 00:06:06,700
Hi, Valerie.

122
00:06:06,783 --> 00:06:08,201
Are you two going out?

123
00:06:08,285 --> 00:06:09,995
I don't think so, Mrs. Cuberle.

124
00:06:10,078 --> 00:06:12,414
You promised to call
me Lana, remember?

125
00:06:12,497 --> 00:06:14,207
Oh, yes. Lana.

126
00:06:14,291 --> 00:06:16,293
Well, I know you two
have a lot to talk about

127
00:06:16,376 --> 00:06:17,794
and I'm due at culture class.

128
00:06:17,878 --> 00:06:18,712
Bye.

129
00:06:18,795 --> 00:06:20,630
Goodbye.

130
00:06:20,714 --> 00:06:22,382
She told you, didn't she?

131
00:06:22,465 --> 00:06:24,217
Yes, she did.

132
00:06:24,259 --> 00:06:26,636
Don't you think you're
being awfully silly?

133
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,014
No. There's no law, is there?

134
00:06:29,097 --> 00:06:31,433
But it isn't as if
it hurts or anything.

135
00:06:31,516 --> 00:06:34,019
When they did mine,
I didn't feel a thing.

136
00:06:34,102 --> 00:06:36,730
I know that.

137
00:06:36,813 --> 00:06:39,107
Well, you like the
way I look, don't you?

138
00:06:39,190 --> 00:06:41,651
I like you, val, we're friends.

139
00:06:41,735 --> 00:06:43,778
I liked you
before the transformation.

140
00:06:43,862 --> 00:06:45,363
But you're missing the point.

141
00:06:45,447 --> 00:06:46,907
It's like getting
a new hairstyle

142
00:06:46,990 --> 00:06:48,450
or new clothes or something.

143
00:06:48,533 --> 00:06:49,993
You just look better.

144
00:06:50,076 --> 00:06:51,828
I'll look like one
of those drawings

145
00:06:51,912 --> 00:06:53,330
that the bureau sends over.

146
00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:55,081
But they're all beautiful.

147
00:06:55,165 --> 00:06:56,416
What's wrong with that?

148
00:06:56,499 --> 00:06:58,084
It is wrong, Valerie.

149
00:06:58,168 --> 00:06:59,836
How will you know me?

150
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:01,630
I mean, how will anyone know me?

151
00:07:01,713 --> 00:07:03,673
I don't wanna look
like everyone else.

152
00:07:03,757 --> 00:07:05,300
I want to look like me.

153
00:07:05,383 --> 00:07:06,885
I'm not gonna
let them change me.

154
00:07:06,968 --> 00:07:09,679
I won't let them change me.

155
00:07:09,763 --> 00:07:11,014
Valerie...

156
00:07:11,097 --> 00:07:13,892
Please help me.

157
00:07:13,975 --> 00:07:15,018
Please.

158
00:07:19,898 --> 00:07:21,650
Doctor will see you now.

159
00:07:27,197 --> 00:07:29,491
Ah, come in, please, Lana.

160
00:07:29,574 --> 00:07:31,201
Thank you, doctor.

161
00:07:31,284 --> 00:07:33,286
Come, Marilyn.

162
00:07:36,581 --> 00:07:39,668
And this is Marilyn.

163
00:07:39,751 --> 00:07:41,294
Sit down, sit down.

164
00:07:41,378 --> 00:07:42,754
I'm sorry to have to bother you,

165
00:07:42,837 --> 00:07:44,077
it's such a silly thing really.

166
00:07:44,130 --> 00:07:46,466
Not at all, not at all.

167
00:07:46,549 --> 00:07:50,011
I see you're 18 now.

168
00:07:50,095 --> 00:07:51,805
It must be just about time

169
00:07:51,846 --> 00:07:53,473
for you to, uh...

170
00:07:53,556 --> 00:07:55,183
Ah! I see you've
already received notice.

171
00:07:55,266 --> 00:07:57,394
That's why we're here.

172
00:07:57,477 --> 00:07:58,979
Of course.

173
00:07:59,062 --> 00:08:00,814
You m ustn't worry, Lana.

174
00:08:00,855 --> 00:08:03,900
Marilyn is like the
rest of them nowadays.

175
00:08:03,984 --> 00:08:05,235
I am?

176
00:08:05,318 --> 00:08:06,987
And it's our fault really.

177
00:08:07,070 --> 00:08:08,630
We haven't given her
any definite reason

178
00:08:08,655 --> 00:08:10,657
why she must wait
until the age of 19.

179
00:08:10,740 --> 00:08:12,367
You see, she looks at you, Lana,

180
00:08:12,450 --> 00:08:13,952
and the other women around her

181
00:08:14,035 --> 00:08:17,414
and then at herself
in the mirror.

182
00:08:17,497 --> 00:08:19,082
Doctor...

183
00:08:19,165 --> 00:08:21,835
From pure perfection
of body, face, limb,

184
00:08:21,918 --> 00:08:25,755
pigmentation, stance, carriage,

185
00:08:25,839 --> 00:08:28,591
she looks at herself
and she's horrified.

186
00:08:28,675 --> 00:08:31,261
Isn't that so? Of course.

187
00:08:31,344 --> 00:08:33,513
You see, the poor child
says to herself

188
00:08:33,555 --> 00:08:35,348
why should I be so hideous?

189
00:08:35,390 --> 00:08:39,894
So awkward,
oversized, unbalanced,

190
00:08:39,978 --> 00:08:44,691
so full of revol ting
skin eruptions, eh?

191
00:08:44,733 --> 00:08:46,359
In short, Lana,

192
00:08:46,401 --> 00:08:48,695
our Marilyn is tired
of being a monster.

193
00:08:48,778 --> 00:08:50,363
Dr. Rex, you don't understand.

194
00:08:50,405 --> 00:08:51,448
What's that?

195
00:08:51,531 --> 00:08:53,074
She isn't anxious.

196
00:08:53,158 --> 00:08:54,784
I don't want to have
the transformation.

197
00:08:54,868 --> 00:08:56,786
You what?

198
00:08:56,870 --> 00:08:58,705
I can't understand.

199
00:08:58,747 --> 00:09:00,623
She never said
anything about it before.

200
00:09:00,707 --> 00:09:02,417
Is this true?

201
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:04,044
Yes.

202
00:09:04,085 --> 00:09:05,628
She doesn't give any reasons.

203
00:09:05,712 --> 00:09:08,131
Yes, yes.

204
00:09:08,214 --> 00:09:10,216
Now, Marilyn,

205
00:09:10,258 --> 00:09:12,469
suppose you tell me
all about it,

206
00:09:12,552 --> 00:09:13,803
in your own words.

207
00:09:16,431 --> 00:09:17,766
I don't know.

208
00:09:17,849 --> 00:09:20,310
I just don't want the change.

209
00:09:20,393 --> 00:09:23,646
You understand, of course,
that the transformation

210
00:09:23,730 --> 00:09:25,899
has become a normal
part of growing up.

211
00:09:25,940 --> 00:09:27,400
It's a sign of maturity.

212
00:09:27,484 --> 00:09:30,570
What, being like everyone else?

213
00:09:30,653 --> 00:09:33,323
Marilyn...

214
00:09:36,451 --> 00:09:39,412
Would you mind if I conducted
an experiment with you?

215
00:09:39,454 --> 00:09:41,331
Purely for my own records.

216
00:09:41,414 --> 00:09:42,749
This way, please.

217
00:09:49,130 --> 00:09:51,091
Sit right down here, please.

218
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,763
Now, Marilyn, you
must try to understand

219
00:09:56,805 --> 00:09:59,099
the transformation is
not merely desirable

220
00:09:59,182 --> 00:10:01,017
from an aesthetic point of view.

221
00:10:01,101 --> 00:10:03,186
But experience has shown us

222
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:05,021
that it plays a
very important role

223
00:10:05,105 --> 00:10:06,773
in psychological adjustment.

224
00:10:06,856 --> 00:10:08,650
Now just hold your head
very still, please.

225
00:10:08,733 --> 00:10:09,984
This won't hurt a bit.

226
00:10:13,238 --> 00:10:15,365
There we are.

227
00:10:15,448 --> 00:10:17,283
[Whirring]

228
00:10:29,379 --> 00:10:31,089
That's all there is to it.

229
00:10:44,185 --> 00:10:46,312
Yes.

230
00:10:46,354 --> 00:10:51,317
Lana, you have no idea what
triggered this resentment?

231
00:10:51,401 --> 00:10:52,986
I can't imagine.

232
00:10:53,069 --> 00:10:56,656
(Lana) She's never
shown much interest.

233
00:11:00,243 --> 00:11:04,497
But it never occurred to me.

234
00:11:04,581 --> 00:11:07,000
I see that your husband died

235
00:11:07,041 --> 00:11:08,877
in the ganymede incident.

236
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,420
Five years ago.

237
00:11:10,503 --> 00:11:13,548
Did you and he ever
have an occasion

238
00:11:13,631 --> 00:11:15,508
to discuss this matter
between yourselves?

239
00:11:15,592 --> 00:11:18,595
Yes, he was opposed
to it at first.

240
00:11:18,678 --> 00:11:21,431
But he finally chose
number 17, your number.

241
00:11:21,514 --> 00:11:25,268
Ah, I see.

242
00:11:25,351 --> 00:11:27,020
Marilyn, you can
come over here now.

243
00:11:27,061 --> 00:11:29,355
We're quite finished.

244
00:11:34,861 --> 00:11:37,197
Now, Marilyn, I take it

245
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,283
that you were quite
fond of your father.

246
00:11:40,366 --> 00:11:42,076
Yes.

247
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,705
And you no doubt
respected his opinions.

248
00:11:45,788 --> 00:11:49,792
Did he ever say to you that
the transformation was bad?

249
00:11:49,876 --> 00:11:52,420
No, not exactly.

250
00:11:52,503 --> 00:11:54,130
What did he say to you?

251
00:11:54,214 --> 00:11:58,968
He said... he thought
it was tragic.

252
00:11:59,052 --> 00:12:02,305
My husband had some
rather nonconformist ideas,

253
00:12:02,388 --> 00:12:04,182
but it was just talk.

254
00:12:04,265 --> 00:12:06,976
He had the highest physical
and psychological rating

255
00:12:07,060 --> 00:12:08,311
with the rocket service.

256
00:12:08,394 --> 00:12:11,314
Yes, yes.

257
00:12:11,397 --> 00:12:15,902
Lana, this case
is extremely unusual.

258
00:12:15,985 --> 00:12:18,404
I'm afraid that I shall
require more time

259
00:12:18,446 --> 00:12:20,073
to examine the matter further.

260
00:12:20,156 --> 00:12:22,283
Suppose I get in touch with you?

261
00:12:22,367 --> 00:12:24,077
You find out what's in there?

262
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,662
What's that?

263
00:12:25,745 --> 00:12:28,790
Did you find out
what's inside of me?

264
00:12:28,873 --> 00:12:31,084
Yes, indeed.

265
00:12:31,167 --> 00:12:37,465
Your general intelligence
rating is quite high.

266
00:12:37,548 --> 00:12:40,843
Your social
adaptability is good.

267
00:12:40,927 --> 00:12:42,971
Your powers of
reasoning, quite normal.

268
00:12:43,054 --> 00:12:45,014
Then why can't I
make up my own mind?

269
00:12:45,098 --> 00:12:47,183
Marilyn, please.

270
00:12:47,267 --> 00:12:49,769
Why are you gonna force me to
do something I don't want to do?

271
00:12:49,852 --> 00:12:51,980
You can't make me
do it, can you?

272
00:12:52,063 --> 00:12:55,024
Nobody can make me do it.

273
00:12:55,108 --> 00:12:58,361
Now, now, my dear child.

274
00:12:58,444 --> 00:13:00,113
No one has ever been forced

275
00:13:00,196 --> 00:13:03,950
to take transformation
if he didn't want it.

276
00:13:03,992 --> 00:13:05,451
You see, the problem is simply

277
00:13:05,535 --> 00:13:08,037
to discover why
you don't want it

278
00:13:08,121 --> 00:13:11,332
and then to make the
necessary correction.

279
00:13:33,771 --> 00:13:35,398
Right in here, please.

280
00:13:35,481 --> 00:13:37,400
What place is this?

281
00:13:40,903 --> 00:13:42,697
Marilyn cuberle.

282
00:13:51,873 --> 00:13:54,792
(Man, German accent) Come
in and sit down, please.

283
00:13:59,589 --> 00:14:01,507
There's nothing
to be frightened of.

284
00:14:06,095 --> 00:14:07,597
Who are you?

285
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:09,015
Sit down, please.

286
00:14:16,731 --> 00:14:21,361
I am professor friend,
Sigmund friend.

287
00:14:21,444 --> 00:14:25,198
You must call me professor sig.

288
00:14:25,239 --> 00:14:29,535
Dr. Rex has told me about you.

289
00:14:29,577 --> 00:14:30,787
I am here to help you.

290
00:14:30,870 --> 00:14:32,288
Help me?

291
00:14:32,372 --> 00:14:33,873
To help rid you of these fears

292
00:14:33,956 --> 00:14:35,750
of this necessary
and important...

293
00:14:35,833 --> 00:14:38,294
That isn't true.
They're not necessary.

294
00:14:38,378 --> 00:14:40,755
[Laughing]

295
00:14:40,838 --> 00:14:42,215
This is very necessary,

296
00:14:42,298 --> 00:14:44,258
very important step
in your life.

297
00:14:44,342 --> 00:14:46,260
Why does everyone
want to force me to do

298
00:14:46,344 --> 00:14:47,637
something I don't want to do?

299
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,889
But for your own good.

300
00:14:49,972 --> 00:14:51,933
Why else?

301
00:14:52,016 --> 00:14:56,145
Why else would the state go
to such trouble and expense?

302
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:59,399
Many years ago, wiser men than I

303
00:14:59,482 --> 00:15:01,567
decided to try and
eliminate the reasons

304
00:15:01,651 --> 00:15:05,988
for inequality and injustice
in this world of ours.

305
00:15:06,072 --> 00:15:08,825
They saw in physical
unattractiveness

306
00:15:08,908 --> 00:15:11,911
one of the factors
which made men hate.

307
00:15:11,953 --> 00:15:15,665
So, they charged
the finest scientific minds

308
00:15:15,748 --> 00:15:20,002
with the task of eliminating
ugliness in mankind.

309
00:15:20,086 --> 00:15:21,838
But I'm not ugly.

310
00:15:21,921 --> 00:15:24,090
I'm not pretty,
but I'm not ugly.

311
00:15:24,173 --> 00:15:26,342
[Laughing]

312
00:15:26,426 --> 00:15:28,261
But to others you are.

313
00:15:28,344 --> 00:15:31,931
Not to people who love me.

314
00:15:32,014 --> 00:15:35,309
There is more to it
than that, of course.

315
00:15:35,393 --> 00:15:39,856
As we learned to reshape
the features, remold the body,

316
00:15:39,939 --> 00:15:43,317
we also learned to eliminate
most of the causes of illness

317
00:15:43,401 --> 00:15:45,987
and thus to prolong life.

318
00:15:46,070 --> 00:15:48,364
Before the transformation,

319
00:15:48,448 --> 00:15:53,369
you could have expected
to live 70, 80, perhaps 90 years.

320
00:15:53,453 --> 00:15:55,872
But now you can live
twice that long.

321
00:15:55,955 --> 00:15:58,207
Perha ps three times.

322
00:15:58,291 --> 00:16:00,460
This is a good thing, is it not?

323
00:16:00,543 --> 00:16:02,211
Yes, b...

324
00:16:02,295 --> 00:16:06,132
Your mother, ah, she
is lovely, is she not?

325
00:16:06,174 --> 00:16:08,843
A t one time,
her body, her fa ce,

326
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,387
mightalreadybe
showing signs ofage,

327
00:16:11,471 --> 00:16:14,348
of... decay.

328
00:16:14,432 --> 00:16:17,226
You would not deny your
mother her youth, would you?

329
00:16:17,310 --> 00:16:20,480
But you could do that
anyway, couldn't you?

330
00:16:20,521 --> 00:16:22,315
Keep me young
without changing me.

331
00:16:22,398 --> 00:16:23,816
Iwouldn't mind just that.

332
00:16:23,900 --> 00:16:27,987
[Laughing]

333
00:16:28,029 --> 00:16:31,157
But someday you might

334
00:16:31,199 --> 00:16:33,284
and that would be too late.

335
00:16:33,367 --> 00:16:35,745
You see, the transformation
must be performed

336
00:16:35,828 --> 00:16:37,914
when the body and the
tissue are at the proper state.

337
00:16:37,997 --> 00:16:40,374
No, I'll never change my mind.

338
00:16:40,458 --> 00:16:42,251
I've thought about it
and I never will.

339
00:16:42,335 --> 00:16:45,254
Why?

340
00:16:45,338 --> 00:16:47,882
Have you ever read Shakespeare?

341
00:16:47,965 --> 00:16:49,842
Who?

342
00:16:49,926 --> 00:16:51,761
Or keats or shelley?

343
00:16:51,844 --> 00:16:55,681
Those books were
banned many years ago.

344
00:16:55,723 --> 00:16:57,350
Where did you find them?

345
00:16:57,433 --> 00:16:59,644
My father gave them to me
and lots of others.

346
00:16:59,727 --> 00:17:02,897
Aristotle,
socrates, dostoyevsky.

347
00:17:02,980 --> 00:17:05,608
Did you know that
dostoyevsky was an epileptic?

348
00:17:05,691 --> 00:17:07,610
He was ugly, he was deformed,

349
00:17:07,693 --> 00:17:10,905
but he wrote about
beauty, about real beauty.

350
00:17:10,988 --> 00:17:13,407
I must warn you,
this subversive...

351
00:17:13,491 --> 00:17:15,326
These men wrote about life

352
00:17:15,409 --> 00:17:18,746
and about the dignity of
the individual human spirit

353
00:17:18,829 --> 00:17:19,956
and about love.

354
00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:21,082
This is enough!

355
00:17:23,334 --> 00:17:26,128
The introduction of smut
into this interview

356
00:17:26,212 --> 00:17:28,965
will not help your case,
young lady, not at all.

357
00:17:29,048 --> 00:17:30,800
May I go?

358
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:34,262
Yes, certainly, I have
arranged a room for you.

359
00:17:34,345 --> 00:17:35,972
You will be quite comfortable.

360
00:17:36,055 --> 00:17:38,099
I don't wanna stay
here. I wanna go home!

361
00:17:38,182 --> 00:17:40,685
It'll be temporary. Your
mother will be informed

362
00:17:40,768 --> 00:17:43,145
and you will be
allowed visitors.

363
00:17:43,229 --> 00:17:45,815
Come, my dear.

364
00:17:45,898 --> 00:17:47,650
Why do I have to stay here?

365
00:17:47,733 --> 00:17:49,485
I am afraid that
for the time being

366
00:17:49,569 --> 00:17:51,779
you must let us decide
what is best for you.

367
00:17:51,862 --> 00:17:53,447
We're not going to hurt you,

368
00:17:53,531 --> 00:17:55,283
we're only going to help you.

369
00:18:01,831 --> 00:18:04,417
This way, Lana.

370
00:18:04,458 --> 00:18:05,668
She's right in here.

371
00:18:13,342 --> 00:18:14,844
Marilyn?

372
00:18:14,927 --> 00:18:19,807
Marilyn, you have visitors.

373
00:18:19,890 --> 00:18:20,891
Mother?

374
00:18:25,146 --> 00:18:26,772
She was quite upset last night.

375
00:18:26,814 --> 00:18:28,941
I gave her something
to help her sleep.

376
00:18:29,025 --> 00:18:30,443
She's all right, isn't she?

377
00:18:30,484 --> 00:18:31,986
You haven't done anything?

378
00:18:32,069 --> 00:18:34,530
Just a mild sedative.

379
00:18:34,614 --> 00:18:38,117
Now if you ladies
will excuse me.

380
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,037
Darling, we'd have
been here sooner

381
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:43,623
but the doctor said
you were sleeping.

382
00:18:43,706 --> 00:18:45,041
Do you feel all right?

383
00:18:45,124 --> 00:18:47,043
Yes. Hello, Valerie.

384
00:18:47,126 --> 00:18:49,670
Hi, honey, what happened?

385
00:18:49,754 --> 00:18:51,672
Nothing.

386
00:18:51,756 --> 00:18:54,508
They just wouldn't let me go.

387
00:18:54,592 --> 00:18:56,886
Oh, mother, they're
gonna do it anyway.

388
00:18:56,969 --> 00:18:58,512
They're gonna make me do it!

389
00:18:58,596 --> 00:19:01,223
No, Marilyn, Dr. Rex
promised, remember?

390
00:19:01,307 --> 00:19:02,558
He was lying!

391
00:19:02,642 --> 00:19:04,644
Lying, but why should he?

392
00:19:04,727 --> 00:19:09,398
He has to say that to keep
people from finding out

393
00:19:09,482 --> 00:19:11,960
the transformation is gonna be
done whether you want it or not.

394
00:19:11,984 --> 00:19:14,070
I don't see why you're unhappy

395
00:19:14,153 --> 00:19:16,072
when all they want to
do is make you pretty.

396
00:19:16,155 --> 00:19:18,991
But that's not true!

397
00:19:19,075 --> 00:19:21,369
Last night, before
I went to sleep,

398
00:19:21,452 --> 00:19:23,996
I remembered something
that father said.

399
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,333
He said, "when
everyone is beautiful

400
00:19:27,416 --> 00:19:28,668
"no one will be

401
00:19:28,751 --> 00:19:31,379
"because without ugliness

402
00:19:31,462 --> 00:19:33,839
there can be no beauty."

403
00:19:33,881 --> 00:19:35,591
Mother, don't you understand?

404
00:19:35,675 --> 00:19:37,677
They don't care whether
you're beautiful or not.

405
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,012
They just want
everyone to be the same.

406
00:19:40,054 --> 00:19:44,100
"They"? Who are you
talking about?

407
00:19:44,183 --> 00:19:45,935
Uh, I'm terribly sorry,

408
00:19:46,018 --> 00:19:49,188
but I'm afraid it's
time to leave now.

409
00:19:49,271 --> 00:19:51,023
Oh, well.

410
00:19:51,065 --> 00:19:52,358
If it's all right,

411
00:19:52,441 --> 00:19:53,651
I'd like to talk to Marilyn.

412
00:19:53,734 --> 00:19:54,860
Just for a few minutes.

413
00:19:54,944 --> 00:19:56,404
Don't worry, darling

414
00:19:56,487 --> 00:19:58,197
everything's going
to be all right.

415
00:20:04,537 --> 00:20:06,956
I've been thinking
about what you said.

416
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:10,376
I mean about what
your father said

417
00:20:10,459 --> 00:20:11,961
and... well, I don't see why

418
00:20:12,044 --> 00:20:13,921
you're so concerned about him.

419
00:20:14,004 --> 00:20:16,465
He's dead.

420
00:20:16,549 --> 00:20:20,177
I mean, surely you've
had other fathers.

421
00:20:20,261 --> 00:20:21,971
My mother's been
married 11 times

422
00:20:22,054 --> 00:20:23,472
and personally

423
00:20:23,556 --> 00:20:25,558
I've liked the
stepfathers better.

424
00:20:25,641 --> 00:20:27,601
Valerie, please don't.

425
00:20:27,685 --> 00:20:30,396
I know you've had 9
fathers since the first one.

426
00:20:30,479 --> 00:20:32,940
Everybody marries
everybody these days.

427
00:20:33,023 --> 00:20:34,734
Valerie, stop.

428
00:20:34,817 --> 00:20:36,569
I don't see how anybody
can stay married

429
00:20:36,610 --> 00:20:39,447
to the same husband
for a hundred years.

430
00:20:39,530 --> 00:20:42,491
Besides, I've heard that
your father was pretty dull.

431
00:20:42,575 --> 00:20:44,243
Valerie, stop it!

432
00:20:44,285 --> 00:20:46,454
Stop talking about my father!

433
00:20:46,537 --> 00:20:48,164
Can't any of you understand?

434
00:20:48,247 --> 00:20:49,665
Iloved him!

435
00:20:49,749 --> 00:20:51,542
I cared about him.

436
00:20:51,625 --> 00:20:53,586
He was good and he was
kind and he cared about me;

437
00:20:53,627 --> 00:20:55,796
not what I wore,
not the way I looked

438
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,382
but what I thought, what I felt.

439
00:20:58,466 --> 00:21:02,511
What's more important, he cared about
himself and his dignity as a human being.

440
00:21:02,595 --> 00:21:05,055
Valerie, he didn't die
in the ganymede incident.

441
00:21:05,139 --> 00:21:07,057
My father killed himself.

442
00:21:07,141 --> 00:21:08,781
Because when they
tooka way his identity,

443
00:21:08,851 --> 00:21:11,270
he had no reason
to go on living.

444
00:21:11,312 --> 00:21:13,981
I just don't understand
you, Marilyn.

445
00:21:14,064 --> 00:21:16,817
Valerie...

446
00:21:16,901 --> 00:21:19,028
Can't you feel anything?

447
00:21:19,111 --> 00:21:22,448
Well, of course, silly.

448
00:21:22,531 --> 00:21:25,326
I feel... I feel good.

449
00:21:25,409 --> 00:21:27,536
I always feel good.

450
00:21:27,620 --> 00:21:29,830
"Life is pretty, life is fun

451
00:21:29,914 --> 00:21:32,041
iam all and all is one."

452
00:21:32,124 --> 00:21:34,210
[Laughs weakly]

453
00:21:34,293 --> 00:21:36,378
You can't understand, can you?

454
00:21:36,462 --> 00:21:38,214
What?

455
00:21:38,297 --> 00:21:42,843
Oh. They can't understand.

456
00:21:42,927 --> 00:21:44,094
[Sobbing]

457
00:21:44,178 --> 00:21:47,014
They can't understand!

458
00:21:47,097 --> 00:21:49,475
They can't understand.

459
00:21:53,312 --> 00:21:54,939
[Gasps]

460
00:22:17,127 --> 00:22:18,128
[Gasp]

461
00:22:47,157 --> 00:22:48,409
Come in, my dear.

462
00:22:48,492 --> 00:22:50,286
We've been expecting you.

463
00:22:50,369 --> 00:22:52,013
Sooner or later, everyone
wants to be beautiful.

464
00:22:52,037 --> 00:22:56,083
Where's your number?

465
00:22:56,166 --> 00:22:57,710
She's chosen number eight.

466
00:22:57,793 --> 00:23:00,087
Excellent, excellent.

467
00:23:09,555 --> 00:23:11,223
I just love your suit, val.

468
00:23:11,307 --> 00:23:12,641
Lana, val!

469
00:23:12,725 --> 00:23:14,476
You're just in time.

470
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:15,644
It's all over, doctor?

471
00:23:15,728 --> 00:23:16,812
All over.

472
00:23:16,896 --> 00:23:18,063
Is she all right?

473
00:23:18,147 --> 00:23:19,773
She's fine. You'll see.

474
00:23:19,857 --> 00:23:21,483
I've been so worried
these last few days,

475
00:23:21,567 --> 00:23:23,235
not being able to talk to her

476
00:23:23,277 --> 00:23:25,487
and she seemed in such a state.

477
00:23:25,571 --> 00:23:26,906
Well, it's as I told you.

478
00:23:26,989 --> 00:23:28,407
Occasionally, a person has

479
00:23:28,490 --> 00:23:30,242
difficulty adjusting
to the idea.

480
00:23:30,326 --> 00:23:32,620
But we've improved
methods since the old days

481
00:23:32,703 --> 00:23:34,997
and now it always
turns out well.

482
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,248
Never fails.

483
00:23:36,290 --> 00:23:37,499
It's complete.

484
00:23:37,583 --> 00:23:39,084
(Marilyn) M 0 the?!

485
00:23:39,126 --> 00:23:42,838
Mother, val.

486
00:23:42,922 --> 00:23:44,757
Look at me.

487
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,842
What do you think?

488
00:23:46,926 --> 00:23:48,844
You're beautiful, Marilyn

489
00:23:48,928 --> 00:23:50,304
just beautiful.

490
00:23:59,063 --> 00:24:01,857
And the nicest
part of all, val...

491
00:24:01,941 --> 00:24:04,026
I look just like you!

bodybuilding

ma y be waiting in the future

500
00:24:23,879 --> 00:24:26,799
which, after all,
is the twilight zone.

501
00:24:30,844 --> 00:24:32,846
(Male presenter)
And now, Mr. Serl/ng.

502
00:24:32,930 --> 00:24:35,724
Earl hamner, Jr. brings his
typewriter and his fertile mind

503
00:24:35,808 --> 00:24:37,351
back into
the twilightzone next time

504
00:24:37,434 --> 00:24:39,019
with a program about visitors.

505
00:24:39,103 --> 00:24:40,771
On the surface they're beatniks:

506
00:24:40,854 --> 00:24:42,982
A few raunchy-looking
characters on motorcycles

507
00:24:43,023 --> 00:24:44,650
draw into town one day.

508
00:24:44,733 --> 00:24:46,402
You won't forget them.

509
00:24:46,485 --> 00:24:48,404
They're quite different
from what they appear.

510
00:24:48,487 --> 00:24:50,864
On the twilightzone, Lee
kinsolving, shelley fabares

511
00:24:50,948 --> 00:24:53,993
and Michael forest star in
"black leather jackets."
