00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:10,400
Mm hmm, Calm down for blast
off x minus five four three two x

2
00:00:10,439 --> 00:00:41,359
minus one. Fire from the far
horizons of the unknown come transcribe tales of

3
00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:46,600
new dimensions in time and space.
These are stories of the future, adventures

4
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,359
in which you'll live in a million, could be years, on a thousand,

5
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,880
maybe worlds. The National Broadcasting Company, in cooperation with Street and Smith,

6
00:00:53,920 --> 00:01:11,560
publishers of Astounding Science Fiction, presents
minus minus one Tonight's Story to the

7
00:01:11,599 --> 00:01:26,560
Future by Ray Bradbury. Time is
an interesting phenomenon, a ticking clock,

8
00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:32,120
the running sands of an hour glass. All these have captured the imagination of

9
00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:38,439
men. But time is more.
It exists now and then and in the

10
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:44,719
future. Suppose we are in the
year nineteen fifty five, coexistent in time,

11
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,719
may be worlds we have never seen, the worlds of the past and

12
00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:57,920
of the future. The year nineteen
fifty five. It was a spring night

13
00:01:57,959 --> 00:02:01,040
in Mexico, Fiesta time. The
fireworks shot up into the clear, dark

14
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,439
sky, and the paper machet bull
ran about the plaza, chasing boys and

15
00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:08,719
laughing men. Mister and missus William
Travis stood on the edge of the yelling

16
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:21,840
prod smile. What is for the
bull? Here he comes. Good,

17
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,080
isn't it now? They rid that
fire breathing phil It's wonderful. I've never

18
00:02:25,159 --> 00:02:31,840
enjoyed myself so much in my life. It's terrific. Fought the ball brov

19
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:39,319
Colo Hell, Philip will go on, I mean not keep it, so

20
00:02:39,719 --> 00:02:44,680
don't worry. I've got enough travelers
checks for a lifetime. No, but

21
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,960
suppose they find you. Forget if
they haven't a chance, suppose they do.

22
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,240
Suppose they take us back, never
find us. Relax, enjoy yourself

23
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,280
if it only lasts. Come on, let's get out of the crowd.

24
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,360
You need a drink. Let's try
something different this time. I want to

25
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,039
try every drink there is in the
world. Don't worry, there's no rush.

26
00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:13,080
We've got plenty of time. Now
in here, there's a table over

27
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:19,159
there. Come on, Bill,
don't don't look right away. Will be

28
00:03:19,159 --> 00:03:23,639
your left shoulder right by the end
of the bar. That man, what

29
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,680
is it? I saw him this
morning in the plaza. Take it.

30
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,400
The town's full of tours a task, Bill, I'm afraid. Don't stare

31
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,199
at him. I know what's the
same man. He was wearing the same

32
00:03:34,199 --> 00:03:37,919
white suit. Sit down, sir, Come on, dear, smile at

33
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,240
match. He's been following us.
He's a searcher. I know he is.

34
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:49,719
Yet here boynor bendicting a brandy to
see he's been watching his Bill.

35
00:03:49,719 --> 00:03:53,039
Put yourself together soon. You can't
take us back worrying. The chances are

36
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,400
one in a thousand that they've found
us. It's probably just a coincidence.

37
00:03:57,319 --> 00:03:59,639
I want to lie down. I
think I'm going to be sick. Susan,

38
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:00,960
hang on, will you? If
he is looking for us, we

39
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,240
can't run out attracted. He must
have slipped up and we checked out in

40
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:11,520
New York. What's he doing now? Stopped our waiter. He's asking him

41
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,079
something. May just want a drink? Bill. I can't stand it.

42
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,560
I've got to go upstairs and lie
down, all right, as soon as

43
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:26,560
we finish our drinks. What's he
doing now? He's nodding at me as

44
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:31,319
if he knows me. He's smiled
Bill. He's coming over here. We've

45
00:04:31,319 --> 00:04:33,399
got to go right on in front
of him. So here's what we think

46
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:35,720
he is. He wants to spect
it. I can't. We got to

47
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:41,240
come on. And so I said
to David, that's absolutely ridiculous. What

48
00:04:41,399 --> 00:04:44,759
are you, Christian? You did
not pull up your pants leg when you

49
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,480
sat down. I'm afraid you've got
the wrong person. My name isn't Chrysler

50
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:56,120
Kristen. Oh, I'm William Travis. I don't see what my pants like

51
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:01,360
it has to do with it?
Mind if I sit down? See everyone

52
00:05:01,439 --> 00:05:08,040
nowadays pulls up his pants leg when
he sits down like this. See it

53
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,639
keeps the trouser from begging at the
knees. But of course, if you're

54
00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:14,480
not used to this style of clothes, I see here, we don't know

55
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,079
you. You don't. I'm sorry, I thought I knew you. This

56
00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:21,560
is our table, if you don't
mind, you see, I'm looking for

57
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,639
two friends of mine, a man
and his wife, very much like you.

58
00:05:27,639 --> 00:05:31,480
The man is an atomic scientist,
the wife a bacteriologist. Very important

59
00:05:31,519 --> 00:05:35,920
people. They work on government business. What are you talking about? And

60
00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:40,319
when I find my friends, I'm
going to take them home with me.

61
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,439
Look here, mister, mister Simms, that will do for now. Look,

62
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,879
I understand you thought you're newest,
but you see you're mistaken. I

63
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,079
feel excuses. My wife and I
were just going up to our room.

64
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,079
We have to make an early start
in the morning. Oh, going for

65
00:05:54,199 --> 00:05:57,639
a trip like a pool code.
Perhaps, Oh, a lovely spot.

66
00:05:57,639 --> 00:06:00,759
I don't mind where we're going,
Yes, yes, of course you don't

67
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,160
like crowds. Tourists probably like to
get off the beaten path. You know.

68
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,959
I have a vacation folder here that
might interest you. Please let's go.

69
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,399
It's it's put out by an outfit
that calls itself travel in Time Incorporated.

70
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:21,720
Travel in Time. Yes, they've
come up with a rather intriguing idea.

71
00:06:23,319 --> 00:06:28,959
Here, travel in Time Incorporated can
costume you put you in the crowd

72
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,160
at any place and time in history. We guarantee to teach you any language

73
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:38,199
you need to move freely in any
year without risk of detection. This summer,

74
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:42,800
why not escape from the warries of
our modern world take your vacation in

75
00:06:42,959 --> 00:06:45,920
time. That's impossible, of course, Ah, but think what it would

76
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,000
mean. A chance to escape all
the tensions of an unpleasant life, war

77
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:55,600
insecurity, fear. Suppose you were
a scientist working on a dangerous bomb project

78
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:01,120
or you, missus Travis, Suppose
you were a bacteriologist working on disease cultures,

79
00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:03,959
and you had a chance to escape
all that, to take a vacation

80
00:07:04,079 --> 00:07:09,240
two hundred years in the past.
It would be wonderful woudn't it to escape

81
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:15,240
to a more peaceful world, a
trip back to nineteen fifty five, nineteen

82
00:07:15,279 --> 00:07:17,040
fifty five. But you said a
vacation in the past, so I did.

83
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:23,959
But you see, nineteen fifty five
is the past if you'll come from

84
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:30,319
the year twenty one fifty five,
twenty one fifty five. Yes, terrible

85
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,720
times, most unpleasant, a war
raging, an atomic bacteri logical war.

86
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:40,240
Terrible times with none of the little
comforts we enjoy today, like this fine

87
00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:46,959
havana cigar. Well, I want
to go upstairs, I want to lie

88
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,680
down. If you were living then, think of how wonderful it would be

89
00:07:50,759 --> 00:07:57,680
to take a vacation in time back
to now. Suppose a young couple like

90
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,639
yourselves took a trip to ninety fifty
five and didn't want to come back.

91
00:08:03,839 --> 00:08:07,560
Do you know what would happen?
The government sends a searcher back to look

92
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,000
for them. This is all fantastic
now. The searcher finds them and brings

93
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,480
them back back to that miserable,
insane, stark, pleasureless world of twenty

94
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,959
one fifty five. A pity,
isn't it? Look here, sims,

95
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,959
well, do you think I shall
find my two friends. Mister Travis,

96
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,800
Bill, please take me upstairs.
I don't feel Oh is the lady feeling

97
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:37,320
a bit ill? How unfortunate linker. Ah, well, shall we drink

98
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:56,159
a toast to twenty one fifty five
to the future? Sorry? Sorry,

99
00:08:56,279 --> 00:09:05,799
quick? What are you doing shutting
a chair under the Doorknom he knows he's

100
00:09:05,799 --> 00:09:09,360
been following us. He's a searcher. Look, keep quiet. So what

101
00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:15,399
you're going to take us back?
It isn't over yet. I've got a

102
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:24,080
headache. I'll get you an aspirin
us. I don't know something slipped.

103
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:30,200
Something must have slipped, but we
were so careful. Searchers are trained to

104
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:35,279
watch for detail. Things like not
pulling up my trousers started them thinking,

105
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,519
there's a man who isn't used to
ancient clothes. I could kill myself for

106
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:45,120
giving it away. No, no, it was my walk these high heels

107
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,840
here, thanks the nerve of that's
sim sitting there looking us up and down

108
00:09:50,879 --> 00:09:54,279
like animals, smoking those stinking cigarettes. No, that's how I first noticed

109
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,440
him, a Tasco. He had
four bottles of the Quurs and a pile

110
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,320
of chocolate. Yes, he still
hasn't gotten over that first green hunger We've

111
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,679
got to look out for that.
It's the sure sign of somebody from the

112
00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:07,480
future trying to make up for a
lifetime of shortage just by stuffing yourself sick.

113
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,039
Remember our first night. No,
I can't stand it. We've got

114
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,840
to get out of here. What
are you doing packing the suitcases up?

115
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,000
It's no use. What do you
mean we can get to Alca Polco by

116
00:10:18,039 --> 00:10:20,720
morning? Don't you think he's watching? We could get away. No,

117
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,279
no, We've got to sit tight. Maybe he isn't sure of us yet.

118
00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:28,879
Maybe we can still figure out some
way to escape. Come on now,

119
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:45,360
we'll need our strength. We better
try to get some sleep. No,

120
00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:58,120
no, I won't go back security, puet, Mom, cute it?

121
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:05,399
No, well, all right away, calm down, honey. We're

122
00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:11,600
still in nineteen fifty five. It's
all right. Oh nightmare, Oh Bill,

123
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:16,360
it was awful. We were back
there twenty one fifty five. We

124
00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:18,879
won't go back there, will we
ever? Tell? Sleep? Honey,

125
00:11:18,919 --> 00:11:22,519
it's all right. We're in Mexico
nineteen fifty five and we're going to stay

126
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:28,039
here. So I've been lying awake
here thinking he's still testing us. He's

127
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:33,759
not absolutely certain he's got all the
time in the world and stay here as

128
00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:37,399
long as he likes, and bring
us back to the future sixty seconds after

129
00:11:37,399 --> 00:11:39,480
we left it. They can't make
a scene, can they. They don't

130
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:41,919
dare come out in the open.
No, No, it might change the

131
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,720
future. They're afraid of that.
If we could only tell, somebody ask

132
00:11:46,799 --> 00:11:52,679
for Hill. We can't. That's
why we had to submit to the psychological

133
00:11:52,759 --> 00:11:56,200
block treatment before they okayed our vacation. We couldn't tell. If we tried.

134
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,919
The block's too strong. Maybe we
can break it. What's the use

135
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,759
darling who believe a crazy story like
ours? Who'd believe we come from twenty

136
00:12:05,799 --> 00:12:11,759
one to fifty five? We can't
tell, and they'll have to get us

137
00:12:11,799 --> 00:12:15,559
alone to put us in the time
machine to send us back. Then that's

138
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:20,320
it. Bill will never be alone. It's still Fiesta tomorrow. It'll be

139
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,600
easy to stay in the crowd.
Yes, yes, that's the only chance.

140
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,000
We can't let him get us alone. He won't get us back to

141
00:12:28,039 --> 00:12:35,759
that war in that insane world.
Till could be the room clerk at three

142
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:43,960
in the morning. I'd better answer, don't Bill, don't I've got to

143
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:54,519
hello hello, mister Travins. That's
the idea it's three in the morning.

144
00:12:54,840 --> 00:13:01,279
Yes, yes, I just wanted
to remind you rabbits may hide in the

145
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:11,519
forest, but a fox can always
find them. What was it, Bill?

146
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:18,399
Bill? Never mind, come on, let's get some sleep where we

147
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:33,840
can. Hm. When as the
senor, senor? Morning, Senors,

148
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,279
I trust you are spending pleasant days
in my hotel. Yes, that time

149
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,840
is the best. Yes, you
were a especial table. He's all ready

150
00:13:41,879 --> 00:13:48,399
for breakfast. I weren't pleasures the
hotel? You buster? Where's the hotel?

151
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,480
And this? God? For a
second sake, hold of the one

152
00:13:50,519 --> 00:13:58,879
horse town, all the planet deserts
and the what is it? If they

153
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:07,480
come we fall trucks and movie motion
picture company from wood down here they make

154
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,480
the pictures of the background. That
the fat man, the one with the

155
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:18,639
most colorful shirt, he is the
chief. Where's the manager coming, Senor?

156
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,159
He would excuse me. I hope
they're satisfactory, coming coming, Senor.

157
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,200
This is a break so that that
movie company will draw crowds and that

158
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,759
helps us. When can we leave? Not today? He'd be okay,

159
00:14:31,879 --> 00:14:35,799
Yes, under the line, show
you're not Maxwell and lay off the pepper.

160
00:14:35,799 --> 00:14:39,159
I got announcer there sims across the
dining room. You can't do anything.

161
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,279
I'm not with these actors coming in. Here's it next to Papa Max.

162
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,320
Make sure nobody mortgage with the trucks
of the gear. We have to

163
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,000
eat at this crumby joint. Joe, cheer up, sweetie. Your mayor

164
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,440
presence makes this chasings and truck roll
in the world. Not this early in

165
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,919
the morning, Joe. I couldn't. Okay, okay, anything you want,

166
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:03,480
laddies, it's not a dear old
expensive look happy, don't. There's

167
00:15:03,519 --> 00:15:07,000
an idea. Maybe I could hire
two of them. I could say it

168
00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:09,039
was a joke. You could dress
him in arc clothes, have them drive

169
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,279
off in arcau sometime when sims couldn't
see their faces. Where would that games?

170
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,720
With him off on their trail,
we might make it to Mexico City.

171
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,519
It takes years to wait. Coming
over. Excuse me, you folks

172
00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:24,120
are Americans, aren't you? That's
right? Boy? Am I glad to

173
00:15:24,159 --> 00:15:26,039
see you. I'm so sick of
hearing Spanish. I could kiss you.

174
00:15:28,759 --> 00:15:31,480
Hey, come on over and eat
with us. Hat well, I uh,

175
00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:33,000
I don't think we should intrude.
Oh, come on, come on.

176
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:39,240
Misery loves company. I'm Misery and
that's the company. Were from Hollywood

177
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,840
sounderstand Yeah? Yeah, boy,
would I like to be there? Oh

178
00:15:43,879 --> 00:15:46,840
I'm Joe Melton, I'm the director. I'm William Travis. This is my

179
00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:50,600
wife, susan mutual. Come on
over, kids, join the party,

180
00:15:50,679 --> 00:15:54,480
cheer us up. Only know Tomaly's. I burned out three kidneys on to

181
00:15:54,600 --> 00:16:02,159
Molly's since I come over the border. Eh, boy, come on over,

182
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:08,480
hey, kiddies, I got no
blood brother. Yes, just a

183
00:16:08,559 --> 00:16:15,120
moment, mister Travis, I thought
you might be breakfasting with me alone.

184
00:16:15,639 --> 00:16:18,320
Sorry, I got him first,
Mac. Do you want to join us?

185
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,519
No? No, I've already ordered, mister Travis. I think you'd

186
00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:26,480
better talk with me. Jay Jesus
guy giving you trouble, it's all right,

187
00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:27,519
And I say the word, I'll
have Max pitch him out on his

188
00:16:27,559 --> 00:16:30,879
ear. It's all right. We'll
be right over, mister Meltourn. We'll

189
00:16:30,879 --> 00:16:33,559
talk to mister Sims. Mister Melton, you sort of keep an eye on

190
00:16:33,639 --> 00:16:37,919
us, eh, after all you
found us first. Yeah, sure,

191
00:16:37,159 --> 00:16:45,240
well come on over soon' cheez uh. Sit down, mister Travis. I

192
00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:49,759
hope you slept well, did you
well? I'm not used to spring mattresses,

193
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,639
but in our compensations. I stayed
up half the night trying new cigarettes

194
00:16:53,679 --> 00:17:00,159
and foods, a whole new spectrum
of sensation, these ancient vices. We

195
00:17:00,159 --> 00:17:02,960
miss something in our world, don't
we, And when we could get back

196
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,400
here, we try to cram it
all in a few short days. We

197
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:12,000
don't know what you're talking about.
Still acting, eh, But it's no

198
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:17,240
use. You can't stay in crowds
all the time. I'll get you alone

199
00:17:17,319 --> 00:17:22,359
soon enough. I'm immensely patient.
However, let's come to the point.

200
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,480
You know, we can't let you
get away with this escape. Other people

201
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,279
in the year twenty one to fifty
five might get the same idea and do

202
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,480
the same thing, and we need
people to fighter wars. Well, it's

203
00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:37,240
all right, Susan. We can
talk on his terms. Now he's got

204
00:17:37,319 --> 00:17:44,000
us. We can't escape at last. Really, you know you've been incredibly

205
00:17:44,079 --> 00:17:48,480
romantic, running away from your responsibilities, running away from horror. Oh nonsense,

206
00:17:48,599 --> 00:17:52,480
only a war only with half the
world dead and the other half dying.

207
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,680
Yes, but we can't have you
escaping here while we drop off a

208
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,279
cliff dying. People love to know
that others died with me. Yeah,

209
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,720
break it up. We're waiting on
you. The longer you keep me waiting,

210
00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:07,519
the harders will go on you.
What do you mean we need you

211
00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:12,279
on that bomb project. Return now, and no torture. Torture, yes,

212
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,880
you see later we'll force you to
work, and after you've finish the

213
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,880
bomb, we'll try a number of
complicated new devices on you. As you

214
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,960
say you can't escape. We have
all the time in the world here,

215
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,599
Sims. I'll make a deal with
him. I'll come back now if my

216
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,839
wife stays here alive, safe away
from that war. No, well,

217
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,480
Sims, you need me for that
bomb. You can duplicate her work.

218
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:49,160
Hmm. It exceeds my authority.
But all right, meet me in the

219
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:55,000
plaza in ten minutes. The cap
the car good. We'll drive out into

220
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,200
the country to some deserted spot and
I'll have the time travel machine pick us

221
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:02,400
up. No, I won't let
you argue. Dear it settled, Sims.

222
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:07,200
There's one thing. Yes, last
night, instead of calling, you

223
00:19:07,319 --> 00:19:12,400
could have broken into our room and
got us. Why didn't you? Shall

224
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:18,880
we say that I was enjoying myself. Take this new fine cigar for example,

225
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:27,640
wonderful, wonderful. Do you know
that I have twelve boxes up in

226
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:33,200
my room, and because Craye the
month Benedictine crained, the coca and so

227
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,599
many others, and the wine.
I've got the closets full of them,

228
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,759
and I shall so hate to leave
it. All. Well, I'll meet

229
00:19:41,759 --> 00:19:45,319
you in the plaza in ten minutes. Your wife may stay here as long

230
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:51,079
as she wishes. All right,
Sims, it's a deal. Don't try

231
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,960
anything now, And I know when
I'm deep. We just want a few

232
00:19:53,960 --> 00:20:00,599
minutes to say goodbye. I shall
be seeing then let you do it.

233
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,680
I won't let you. I'm going
to tell the truth. I'm going to

234
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,400
get help. You can't the psychological. We've got to try. It's our

235
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:10,039
last chance. Hey, join us. I've got something to tell you,

236
00:20:10,079 --> 00:20:11,160
and you've got to believe me.
It works. I've got to try.

237
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,480
I go ahead, kids, you've
got to understand. You see, we

238
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:22,880
really bill my head. I can't
think my head. You need a bromo.

239
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:32,279
Honey works. So the block's too
strong. We better get the car

240
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,640
breakfast. No time for people to
cry. What in the world could a

241
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:49,960
good looking kid like you find a
cry about. I won't let you do

242
00:20:51,039 --> 00:20:53,799
it. Let me go back with
you. We'll get through somewhere. I'd

243
00:20:53,839 --> 00:20:57,599
let you go back to that war, So please stop. It was so

244
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:04,680
wonderful here Bill. There he is
smoking those Turkish cigarettes, waiting for it.

245
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,200
There must be some way, some
way we can both stay here.

246
00:21:08,319 --> 00:21:11,119
Maybe there is, Bill, What
are you going to do? Answer?

247
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,200
When I tell you, Bill,
you're heading right for it. He's not

248
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:36,799
going to get either of us now, damn so dumb Bill. It's all

249
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:41,039
right, it's all over, Johnny. This is the mayor signor. Your

250
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,480
husband has beneficially cleared in this most
unfortunate affairs. It is obvious this senor

251
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:52,480
seems died of an unavoidable accident.
Oh yes, yes, of course a

252
00:21:52,640 --> 00:22:00,000
your senor signor. Will they want
to see you again? No? Clear?

253
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,480
Oh lost control of the car.
That's the way it stands. So

254
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,000
I hated to kill him. I've
never wanted to do anything like that in

255
00:22:07,039 --> 00:22:15,720
my life. Where shall we go? Now? Mexico City cars in the

256
00:22:15,759 --> 00:22:21,039
repair shop won't be ready to look
before and we'll get out. Hey there,

257
00:22:21,079 --> 00:22:22,680
Travis, it's that movie man.
Bill. He was very good to

258
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,160
me when they had you in there. Hey, I heard what happened.

259
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:27,960
They sprung you? Eh? Great, great, Yes, it was an

260
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,440
accident. Lucky you didn't get hurt
yourselves. Everything okay, now, yes,

261
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,039
yes, I think so. It's
fine and fine, but you're both

262
00:22:36,039 --> 00:22:37,559
look a little rocky. Say hey, you want to get your mind off

263
00:22:37,599 --> 00:22:41,000
your troubles? Way through for the
day Clouds follow up our shooting schedule.

264
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,720
We're gonna put a head on it
up at the hotel. Gloria's cracking the

265
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,160
ice. Now maybe we will join
you, but first I've got to check

266
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,880
up on the car. Ill don't
miss the party, kiddies see upstairs.

267
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,599
I don't relax, honey. We've
got the break now. Simms is dead

268
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,000
before they can put another searcher on
our trail. We'll have time to make

269
00:22:57,039 --> 00:23:02,079
a clean getaway. How about the
car be ready till four? We got

270
00:23:02,079 --> 00:23:06,920
a couple of hours to kill.
I'm so tired. Janda is a little

271
00:23:07,519 --> 00:23:12,279
excitement. We rate a celebration,
honey, Well, I guess it would

272
00:23:12,319 --> 00:23:15,599
be nice to un what. Sure, we'll go up to Melton's room,

273
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,119
have a couple of drinks, a
few laughs. Don't worry, honey,

274
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:34,000
it's all over, but we can
relax. Well. Well, well,

275
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:40,000
Kenny, we thought were great.
Great, call me your Gloria. Yeah,

company? You are you kids?

277
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,160
Rate a drink? Yeah? That
was a pretty messy business. But it's

278
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,319
all over now. Yes, it's
all over. Time to unlike scrab a

279
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,279
glass. Honey, thank you?
Hey, hey, quiet everybody? Ye

to toast my guests? Okay, all

281
00:23:59,559 --> 00:24:04,160
right to a very beautiful lady.
Lovely enough for the movie. I'm not

282
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,119
kidding. That's why I came over
to you in the first place. I

283
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,160
might even give you a test.
Oh, I mean it, Honey,

284
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,480
you're pretty nice. I could make
you a movie star and take me to

285
00:24:14,519 --> 00:24:18,480
Hollywood. Lady, did he get
us out of Mexico? You're not serious?

286
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:25,000
Sure I am, Gloria. About
that sounds wonderful, doesn't it?

287
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:30,079
Through? Los Angeles is a pretty
crowded city. Wait till you see the

288
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:34,079
sunset bus. You don't really think
I could be an actress, do you?

289
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,519
You don't have to cheer me up
anymore. I'm feeling wonderful. No,

290
00:24:37,519 --> 00:24:38,920
No, I'm serious. Really,
what kind of a film do you

291
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,000
think my wife would be good for? I want to do a suspense story,

292
00:24:44,279 --> 00:24:47,319
sort of a war story, you
know, Gloria. Poor mister Travison

293
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:52,279
of the glass. A story about
a man and a wife. You live

294
00:24:52,279 --> 00:24:55,400
in a little house. I'm just
ad libbing this, you understand, sure,

295
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,440

on see, a terrible war you

296
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:03,720

year twenty one fifty five. Yeah,

297
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,480
now here's the gimmick. They escape
into the past and they kill a man

298
00:25:08,519 --> 00:25:12,279
who follows them to bring them back. Gloria, honeypot again, mister Travis,

299
00:25:12,319 --> 00:25:18,200
another glass? He dropped his well, sir. This couple takes refuge

300
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:22,759
with a group of movie people as
safety of numbers, they figure ah.

301
00:25:22,759 --> 00:25:27,279
But the story goes on, and
this couple is terribly important for a new

302
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:36,519
bomb, let's call it the leprosy
bomb. So the searchers figure out a

303
00:25:36,519 --> 00:25:41,079
way that they can get them alone
in the hotel room. Shove a tear

304
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:48,039
under the datos, yes, sir, you see. The searchers may work

305
00:25:48,079 --> 00:25:52,720
alone or in groups of eight,
so that if one of them's killed,

306
00:25:52,759 --> 00:25:57,720
the rest carry on. Don't you
think that would make a wonderful picture?

307
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:03,119
H Susan, don't you Bill when
he stands still? But that God,

308
00:26:03,319 --> 00:26:11,400
Travis, who is it? The
manager? Your car is already? Shall

309
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,000
I them? Like? Mate,
Let's go Let's not make things worse,

310
00:26:15,039 --> 00:26:21,839
mister Travis. Let me shots.
Let me the manager heard the shots.

311
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,319
Let's get going. Let me let
me. You'll break down the door in

312
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,720
a minute, Max, get ready
to travel. Take a god look,

313
00:26:27,759 --> 00:26:32,359
mister Travis. Take a good look
at nineteen fifty five. You won't be

314
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:45,160
saying it anymore. All right,
break it down? Where are they?

315
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,880
I was at the door, I
heard them inside? They're gone. The

316
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,960
windows Nope, the iron bars are
undisturbed. What happened to them that?

317
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,240
They just disappeared? All of them? And you? I think you had

318
00:26:56,279 --> 00:27:03,240
better send for the priest in the
hodio later. They just disappeared. Look

319
00:27:03,279 --> 00:27:08,799
in the closet. Battles, hundreds
of battles in box is the twenty best

320
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:15,240
of pure Evan. If he was
your guys, these crazy americanos. Why

321
00:27:15,279 --> 00:27:22,559
would anyone leave all this behind?
Never questioned providence. Yes, there is

322
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:32,319
enough here to last a sport for
the month. I think we can look

323
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:45,799
forward to a most happy future.
