1
00:00:18,679 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: Come in welcome. I'm a g Marshall.

2
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:29,039
Speaker 2: How far can the mind of man's go once that

3
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:34,880
had been convinced that nothing is impossible? We've already visited

4
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,159
the moon that was impossible a short while back.

5
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: We'll surely reached.

6
00:00:39,759 --> 00:00:42,359
Speaker 2: The other planets of our solar system who really want

7
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:48,240
to and most likely gassarge eventually. But there are other directions,

8
00:00:48,759 --> 00:00:53,280
other so called the impossibilities to pose. For example, a

9
00:00:53,359 --> 00:00:56,399
man looked in his mirror one day, and, seeing the

10
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,679
lines of encroaching old age, said to himself, now.

11
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: Why does a thing like that have to happen?

12
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 3: I want out of this house. Maybe once throw out

13
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,120
of it. Nathan will stop? Who Jeffeica, I'm so frightened.

14
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:14,959
It's not dare surely not a nathing. I think he's

15
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,239
finished his experiments with the animal, Jeffeter, What is he

16
00:01:19,359 --> 00:01:23,000
going to do now? I don't like the way he

17
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,799
looks at me. It is that log howl tonight? What

18
00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:31,519
kind of noise do you suppose I'll makes? Because I'm next,

19
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,120
and I'm not imagining it. I'm next.

20
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 2: Our mystery grammar You're Only Young White, was written especially

21
00:01:49,519 --> 00:01:52,879
for the mystery theater by Nild and Charon and stars

22
00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:57,200
Anne Shepherd and Norman Rose. It is sponsored in part

23
00:01:57,319 --> 00:02:01,480
by True Value Hardware Stories. I'll be back shortly with

24
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:15,879
that one. Aging like it or not is a process

25
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,960
shared by all living things, always.

26
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,199
Speaker 1: Has been, and always will be.

27
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 2: It isn't the fact of being old that's so intolerable.

28
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,199
It's more the step by step, irreversible deterioration that has

29
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,400
to be faced along the way. Jessica Stone, a great

30
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,120
romantic star of stage and screen in her day, finds

31
00:02:38,159 --> 00:02:42,360
herself at Liberty with no professional prospects.

32
00:02:41,759 --> 00:02:43,479
Speaker 1: For the summer just beginning.

33
00:02:44,039 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 3: So you see, Jim, there's just no reason for my

34
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:50,319
staying on in the city and sweltering all summer.

35
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:51,759
Speaker 1: Uh, you're running elderly.

36
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 2: You're going up to Maine where it's cool, quiet, beautiful,

37
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,639
and you're leaving me strengthened. Oh come on now, Jim,

38
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,479
your lawyer, business manager, your good friend, and more and more.

39
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,680
Any time you say you're leaving me stranded in the

40
00:03:06,719 --> 00:03:11,120
city which lives for me only because you're still ye Oh,

41
00:03:11,199 --> 00:03:12,960
I do wish you wouldn't go, Jessica.

42
00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 3: My sister wants me to come and spend the summer

43
00:03:15,879 --> 00:03:18,639
with her, but she's got a perfectly good husband up there,

44
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:22,960
great scientist, or at least a rich scientist, and you'd

45
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,000
be getting old Jim. Besides, Nathan's a very strange man,

46
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,360
well all of a sud and I didn't like the

47
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,479
sound of a letter. It's more than just an invitation.

48
00:03:32,599 --> 00:03:37,759
I think she actually needs me. Something's wrong, like what.

49
00:03:38,039 --> 00:03:40,039
I don't know. I don't know if you didn't say,

50
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,319
but from the way her letters read, I think she's.

51
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 4: Afraid of something.

52
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,599
Speaker 3: My sister is coming for a visit, Nathan. She phoned

53
00:03:52,639 --> 00:03:54,759
me last night, Jessica.

54
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,479
Speaker 4: Yes, she may spend the summer.

55
00:03:56,479 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 5: I don't know.

56
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: Wonderful. I'm delighted, y, of course I am. She's an

57
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,840
intelligent woman, good company.

58
00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:10,199
Speaker 3: Yes, she was always the glamorous one, Nathan. That dog

59
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,960
was howling again last night.

60
00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:12,479
Speaker 1: I know that.

61
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 3: Were you.

62
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:16,759
Speaker 6: Hurting him?

63
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 3: No?

64
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: I was not. I wish you could believe me. I

65
00:04:19,879 --> 00:04:22,959
use animals in my experiments. I do not hurt them.

66
00:04:23,399 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 3: If only I knew what, Nathan, you can't blame me

67
00:04:27,959 --> 00:04:31,120
for feeling lest out. Even Cal knows what you're working on.

68
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,439
Speaker 1: Is my assistant. He has to know.

69
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 3: Cal is a handy man. That's all call.

70
00:04:36,399 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: Is takes care of the animals. I need him.

71
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 3: Do you intend to use this whatever it is you're

72
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,920
working on? Do you intend to use it on people

73
00:04:46,879 --> 00:04:48,680
once you've finished with the animals.

74
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: You forced me to ask you again to mind your

75
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,759
own business.

76
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:58,199
Speaker 3: Because I'm the only people you have handy O.

77
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,959
Speaker 1: Would you like me to keep you posted while you're going?

78
00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 3: Well, of course i'd jump into anything that was offered

79
00:05:09,079 --> 00:05:12,360
right now, and we both know it. I don't like

80
00:05:12,399 --> 00:05:15,759
being old and burnt out and not want it now?

81
00:05:15,959 --> 00:05:16,519
Speaker 1: Stop it?

82
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,399
Speaker 6: Oh, isn't it?

83
00:05:18,519 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: Well, you're not sixteen anymore, but you're not old.

84
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 3: Well I feel old and tired, and that's his numsets.

85
00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:30,759
Speaker 2: You're beautiful and you s you sparkle, and I wish

86
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:31,680
you weren't going away.

87
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 3: Huh Oh, Dear Jim, I don't know how I'll manage

88
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:37,199
without you.

89
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you once more, Jessica, will you marry me?

90
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 3: You know how dear you are to me. But I've

91
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,879
been married four times, divorced four times. No more.

92
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: That's enough.

93
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 3: Jasey over here, good, Holy Anthony's come too long night.

94
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,759
Speaker 7: I wonder how long it's.

95
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,519
Speaker 3: Been since anybody calls me that?

96
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 6: Since the last time I did.

97
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,519
Speaker 3: Probably here, let me have a look at you.

98
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, doesn't look so closive.

99
00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 7: Oh what are you talking about?

100
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:27,879
Speaker 4: You look wonderful.

101
00:06:29,399 --> 00:06:32,519
Speaker 3: There's a lot of camouflage. The old gal's not what

102
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,079
he is to be old. And I'm older than you are,

103

and I.

104
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: Don't like it either. I hate it.

105
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 3: Brow.

106
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 5: Come on, let's go pick up your luggage.

107

Speaker 4: With a long drive ahead of us.

108
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:51,759
Speaker 1: Now that's left, big off coward.

109
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 8: They're just mouring the lord. Mister Hardy, it gets real shaggy.

110
00:06:57,759 --> 00:06:59,639
You must be feeling pretty perky today.

111
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: Why do you say that?

112
00:07:00,959 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, trips around all over the place, and wat shot.

113
00:07:04,199 --> 00:07:06,519
Speaker 1: You don't overdo. I'm not a day older than you,

00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,160

of work we're doing in the lab.

125
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 8: If I was a few years younger, I wouldn't be

Speaker 6: How is he?

135
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 3: Well, all I can say is never marry a man

136
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:25,800
fifteen years older than you are. Oh it's I don't know,

137

not exactly soured him, but I don't really know him anymore.

138
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,960
M Maybe it's his age, and maybe it's something else.

139
00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:39,279
Speaker 6: He's changed in what way?

140
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,519
Speaker 5: When he he.

141
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 3: Lives in that laboratory, I mean literally, he has a

142
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,759
sitting room and bedroom there. I almost never see him.

143
00:08:48,879 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 6: I almost never see anybody.

144
00:08:51,159 --> 00:08:57,399
Speaker 3: There's just Nathan cal and that's all cal mm local product.

145
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 4: Nathan calls him his assistant. He helps out with the animals.

146
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,399
Speaker 6: And potters around the ground. It not very bright.

147
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:11,279
Speaker 3: It's uh, not an exciting life. Well, maybe I can

148
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:19,480
liven things up a little if things don't deaden you.

149
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: May I offer you a liquor, Jessica after that dinner.

150
00:09:25,159 --> 00:09:27,639
Speaker 5: I don't really think I have any room for his neighbors.

151
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:36,799
Speaker 1: Oh, of course you do. Here you are, Jessica, Thank you, Ny. Now,

good for spirituous liquors, died for people.

156
00:10:00,639 --> 00:10:02,919
Speaker 3: Well, nothing much we can do about that.

157
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:05,159
Speaker 1: We can dream.

158
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 4: Oh, oh, Nathan, is.

159
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,960

00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,440
tell you about old age Patchie a dog one of

161
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,320
my animals, You see, I I use animals in my experiments.

162
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,720
Best thinks that I torture them.

163
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,519
Speaker 4: But the truth, now, I never said that.

164
00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: The truth is my experiments are designed to help them

165
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:32,399
and do help them. Jessica. Uh, do you have a

166
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:33,840
new play for next season?

167
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 3: Well, I haven't really decided what I'm going to do.

168
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,000
Of course that's the right thing comes along.

169
00:10:40,799 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: But you never know the I'll never forget you. In

170
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,279
the lives of Gretchen Day and were well you were

171
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,320
absolutely magnificent.

172
00:10:50,039 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 3: When I made that film, I was very young.

173
00:10:52,919 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 6: Were you expecting to call Nathan?

174
00:10:54,759 --> 00:10:54,919
Speaker 7: No?

175
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,919
Speaker 1: What you mind answering phone?

176
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:57,279
Speaker 3: Rings?

177
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:57,919
Speaker 1: Or seldom?

178
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 4: I sometimes forget we have a phone?

179
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,879
Speaker 1: Kind of a play? Are you looking for this time, Jessica?

180
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:04,159
Speaker 6: I really don't know.

181
00:11:05,039 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 3: I'm getting a little old for romantic leads these days.

182
00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:11,639
Speaker 1: Well, there always character roles, aren't there?

183
00:11:12,639 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 3: I never played much character. Tell me about that. You

184
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,279
just can't imagine yourself ever growing old. And then one

185
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:26,639
morning you get up, you look in the mirror, and all.

186
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: Of a sudden you see it's for you. It's from

187
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:31,080
New York.

188
00:11:31,799 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 3: Oh, that'll be Jim Blake most likely. Uh. I promised

189
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,960
to call him when I got in, and and I forgot.

190
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,320
I didn't know that you were such a fan of

191
00:11:43,399 --> 00:11:44,279
Jessica's making.

192
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: Oh well, maybe I exaggerated a little count do any harm?

193
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,720
She was good, you know she still is.

194
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,039
Speaker 8: Eh, excuse me for bothering you, mister Hardy. But oh,

195
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,919
Patty's sh having.

196
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: One of a spell? All that dog? What's his problem

197
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:00,440
this time?

198
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,279
Speaker 8: You seem old saying you're shaking, and he, you know,

199
00:12:03,759 --> 00:12:05,399
not breathing the way he ought to A way.

200
00:12:05,799 --> 00:12:10,159
Speaker 2: I think maybe him all right, h t uh Busica?

201
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: This, yes, this is Cal somewhere's my assistant. How do

202
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,159
you do that? How do you do mister doner? I swave?

203
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 8: And if you ain't prettier, then you are in the movies.

204
00:12:20,159 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: You see he don't listen to him, Jessica, he's an

205
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,600
old rake. I come on, Cal, let's go down and

206
00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:26,840
see what we can do for old patche Now how

207
00:12:26,919 --> 00:12:28,600
long has he been acting this way?

208
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:36,159
Speaker 3: Well that's the last we'll see if Nathan tonight really yes,

209
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:42,159
once he shuts himself up from that lab, forget it, Jessica.

210
00:12:42,399 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 6: If he asks to.

211
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 4: Borrow money from you, don't give.

212
00:12:45,759 --> 00:12:48,159
Speaker 6: Him any will you borrow money?

213
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 3: Broke or very close to it? I don't really know

214
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,320
how bad it is, but money is very short these days.

215
00:12:54,919 --> 00:12:57,960
I don't understand. I always thought that he had. I

216
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,759
I mean, I I thought he was quite rich.

217
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,159
Speaker 1: I guess I.

218
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,759
Speaker 3: Guess his experiments, whatever they are, have cost him a

219
00:13:03,799 --> 00:13:08,799
lot of money. If you need money, No, no horse, oh, Jessica,

220
00:13:08,919 --> 00:13:13,840
I'm so frightened of what, surely not of Nathan. You

221
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,639
heard that dog howl this evening, Well, dogstill howl. It's

222
00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:22,519
their nature. That doesn't have to be anything sinister about it.

223
00:13:22,639 --> 00:13:26,320
I think he's finished the experiments with the animals, Jessica,

224
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,399
what's he going to do now? I don't like the

225
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:36,159
way he looks at me, and that's dog howl tonight.

226
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: What kind of noise do.

227
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,919
Speaker 4: You suppose that I'll make? Because I'm next. I'm not

228
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:43,960
just imagining it.

229
00:13:44,639 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 3: I'm next.

230
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: A man who devotes himself to scientific research is necessarily

231
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,960
a curious man. That's the starting point for all research.

232
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: Curiosity carried too far, however, it can become dangerous. Are

233
00:14:07,399 --> 00:14:12,039
we witnessing a case in point. We'll try to satisfy

234
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:25,720
your curiosity about that when I return shortly with Act two.

235
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,919
The experiments which Nathan already has been conducting in his

236
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,279
laboratory are such a secret nature that only his assistant

237
00:14:35,559 --> 00:14:40,519
Cal Summers knows what their purpose is. Although his wife

238
00:14:40,759 --> 00:14:45,840
questions it, Nathan himself says that his experiments are beneficial

239
00:14:46,159 --> 00:14:49,639
to the animals he uses. But Nathan is one of

240
00:14:49,679 --> 00:14:54,559
those intensely curious researchers, and it may be that his

241
00:14:54,759 --> 00:14:59,919
thirst for knowledge prejudices his judgment. He's with his SI

242
00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:04,320
now in his laboratory, attending to a sick old dog.

243
00:15:04,799 --> 00:15:11,039
Speaker 1: He calls Patchie, what's your problem, Patsy, old boy, your

244
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,360
poor old bone making and boy?

245
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 8: Yes, me, that old dog's gone just about as far

246
00:15:16,399 --> 00:15:17,120
as he can go.

247
00:15:17,399 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: You can get him through the night catcher, count Er,

248
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,559
I don't like the promise.

249
00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:24,759
Speaker 8: Why don't we give him a shot of R Jane

250
00:15:24,879 --> 00:15:25,960
ninety seven right now?

251
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: Mister hiding, though, I want to save him for tomorrow.

252
00:15:28,919 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 8: I have a special reason for h eh, anything to

253
00:15:32,159 --> 00:15:34,480
do with your sister in law that uh had just

254
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:35,480
a lady' just.

255
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,159
Speaker 1: Pulled him through the night. Count h I'll do what

256
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:39,919
I can.

257
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:46,039
Speaker 8: He Uh, mister Hardy is when do I get mine?

258
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: You're R J ninety seven soon, now, very soon?

259
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 8: Well, I I don't see nothing standing in the.

260
00:15:55,279 --> 00:15:58,519
Speaker 2: Way of it right now, I I it's I It's ready, ain't.

261
00:15:58,279 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: It it is? But I'm not quite Maybe tomorrow, count

262
00:16:04,879 --> 00:16:08,399
maybe the day after uh whatever you say, of.

263
00:16:08,399 --> 00:16:13,639
Speaker 8: Course me, old Patty here still try to hang on

264
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:20,399
till our time comes.

265
00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:22,519
Speaker 1: There.

266
00:16:22,639 --> 00:16:25,919
Speaker 3: Anything I can do to help with breakfast, then, oh,

267
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,840
pour the coffee if you like. All I have to

268
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:33,320
do now is scramble the eggs. I hope Nathan doesn't

269
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:34,559
let his get cold again.

270
00:16:35,039 --> 00:16:38,159
Speaker 4: But he's still in the laboratory. I don't know where

271
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:38,519
he is.

272
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 3: I haven't seen him, but he surely didn't work all night.

273
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:46,600
Who knows, Jesse. He said he wanted to show you

274
00:16:46,679 --> 00:16:48,000
through the house this morning.

275
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:50,519
Speaker 4: Will you see if you can.

276
00:16:50,399 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 3: Get anything out of him about what he's doing? Well,

277
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,360
I can try, but I don't think he's likely to

278
00:16:57,399 --> 00:16:59,000
tell me anything. He won't tell you.

279
00:16:59,120 --> 00:16:59,879
Speaker 6: Oh he might.

280
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 3: He won't tell me anything, of course, not if he

281
00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:09,240
has plans for me, But you, he might.

282
00:17:10,519 --> 00:17:10,559
Speaker 1: Be.

283
00:17:11,559 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 3: I think you must be wrong. I'm just gonna have

284
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,400
to throw the eggs out of Nathan doesn't get Oh, let.

285
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 1: Me catch you throwing my eggs out. I could smell

286
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,240
that bacon all the way down the hall. I'm starved.

287
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 4: Oh did you work all night?

288
00:17:26,279 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 1: No? No, I went to bed early. I'm feeling quite

289
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,079
fit this morning. Good morning, Jessica.

290
00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:31,319
Speaker 5: Good morning.

291
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,319
Speaker 1: Oh you look radiant.

292
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 3: Well, thank you. A good night's sleep and a little

293
00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:38,119
cosmetic booster.

294
00:17:39,519 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: Very becoming whatever it is?

295
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:42,319
Speaker 3: Everybody ready?

296
00:17:43,039 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 4: Uh, don't let your eggs.

297
00:17:44,559 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: Get cold, Jessica. Do you feel up to making a

298
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,000
tour of a house this morning? Nineteen rooms? You know?

299
00:17:51,319 --> 00:17:52,039
Three floors.

300
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 3: I can make it if you can.

301
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: I'm not as decrepit as I look. Uh, what do

302
00:17:59,519 --> 00:17:59,960
you think of.

303
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:04,799
Speaker 3: It's beautiful, old plays just beautiful. Takes you right back

304
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,920
to a quite different style of living, doesn't it.

305
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,079
Speaker 1: Yes, it needs some work, of course, but after all,

306
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,319
but adjust the two of us.

307
00:18:12,799 --> 00:18:13,799
Speaker 3: Nah, it's lovely.

308
00:18:14,079 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: Hm. That's about it, except for the laboratory wing, of course.

309
00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 3: Uh.

310
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,279
Speaker 1: Would you like to see that very much? Yes? Alright,

311
00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:30,960
come along. Oh this is actually my home, Jessica. I

312
00:18:31,799 --> 00:18:34,880
keep this small sweet in the lab wing and when

313
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,839
I come to visit Beth sometimes. But but this is

314
00:18:38,839 --> 00:18:39,480
where I live.

315
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,079
Speaker 4: Mm, rety nice.

316
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: Don't be embarrassed. Beth and I. Uh, but it's not

317
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,680
much left of our marriage. That must have told you.

318
00:18:49,799 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 3: Uh, not that flatly. I know she isn't very happy.

319
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 2: Uh.

320
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,279
Speaker 1: This is my living room. I like heavy Victorian furniture,

321
00:18:59,279 --> 00:18:59,839
as you receive.

322
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 3: Uh.

323
00:19:00,599 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: The bedrooms back that way, and this door. This is

324
00:19:06,039 --> 00:19:07,519
the entrance to my laboratory.

325
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:09,279
Speaker 3: Uh.

326
00:19:09,279 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: I might as well see that too, your laboratory. You'll

327
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,119
be the first except for Cal and myself. Beth has

328
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,119
never seen the lab Uh.

329
00:19:21,799 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 3: Uh I'm flattery.

330
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:31,799
Speaker 1: Uh, go ahead, Jessica going in, Harry pressing.

331
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 2: I've spent ah a lot of money on equipment. The

332
00:19:37,279 --> 00:19:42,079
too much, really, the cow, I hear, mister Hardy. I'll

333
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,440
bring Patchie up, will you as a dog?

334
00:19:45,599 --> 00:19:48,599
Speaker 1: You heard howling last night, Jessica, as I said, he's

335
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:49,200
very old.

336
00:19:49,519 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 8: Eh.

337
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,799
Speaker 1: How do you do, miss Jessica? How do you do? Start? Best?

338
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 2: Carry poor old Patchy in. He ain't getting alarms good

339
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,039
this morning. I got through the night alright. So that's

340
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,480
the main thing. I U the count just put him

341
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,960
down on the pillow there, ay, shure, here you go, boy,

342
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,079
you see, Jessica. But there's nothing really wrong with this

343
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,880
dog at all except old age, which is cause means

344
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,440
that just about everything is wrong with him.

345
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: You look so sad.

346
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 5: Ah what kind of dog?

347
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: He said? Too many kinds to lift? I got him

348
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,279
at the pond. I imagine they'd 'em uh put him

349
00:20:30,279 --> 00:20:32,200
away by this time if I haven't taken him.

350
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 6: Might be a kindness.

351
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,799
Speaker 4: I don't see what else there is to do, Jessica.

352
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: Waits a little and you will. I made you uh

353
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,079

00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:18,440
Count suh one two, three four? Al right count between

00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:25,319
Yeah we show patchy. Yeah, this is the big one.

00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 3: Who is it all right to aska?

00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:31,039
Speaker 1: What?

363
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 4: What is it that you put in the milk?

what you mind? Meetings? I uh, I D D.

366
00:21:41,599 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 2: Don't you think it'd be a good idea for me

367
00:21:43,559 --> 00:21:46,079
to hang around just in case something goes wrong?

368
00:21:46,279 --> 00:21:48,319
Speaker 1: It'll be all right, Count, I'll call you if I

369
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:55,160
need you. I uh r J ninety seven. It's the

370
00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:00,519
ninety seven formula ninety six with failures or only partials successes.

371
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,000
This is the one that I've been working toward for

372
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,960
well better than ten years now, r J ninety seven.

373
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 5: What will it do to you?

374
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: You'll see It will take a little time, five minutes

375
00:22:13,279 --> 00:22:15,680
or so, but you'll see.

376
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 3: What we can look at you.

377
00:22:23,599 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 6: What happens.

378
00:22:27,759 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: Down boy down? He is a puppy or a little more.

379
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,799
I'd say he's just about the equivalent of or a

380
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,400
year or and a half, maybe as much as two years,

381
00:22:38,799 --> 00:22:40,759
or he has a good ten years to look forward to.

382
00:22:42,039 --> 00:22:46,559
And I can understand r J ninety seven. The RJ

383
00:22:46,799 --> 00:22:48,240
stends for rejuvenation.

384
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:49,599
Speaker 5: P't you then?

385
00:22:49,839 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: Yes, it will work on people too. I'm sure it will.

386
00:22:52,880 --> 00:23:00,160
No reason on earth why it shouldn't. I'm people, Jessica, Jessica, Oh,

387
00:23:00,519 --> 00:23:04,680
would you like to be young again? I can do

388
00:23:04,839 --> 00:23:07,799
it for you. Make me young about twenty five, I

389
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:12,559
guess over twenty hundred thirty cer maybe within that range.

390
00:23:13,519 --> 00:23:17,839
How can you four crops of our J ninety seven, Jessica.

391
00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:23,039
Speaker 4: I don't believe it. I just don't believe it.

392
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:29,599
Speaker 1: Look at Thatchy. Isn't that slight of hand? Do you know?

393
00:23:30,559 --> 00:23:33,799
Speaker 3: I'm not sure i'd wanna go through it again. Oh

394
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,960
that stressed that of sewing the station?

395
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: No, no, no, Jessica, that's the most beautiful part. You see.

396
00:23:42,039 --> 00:23:44,240
You would retain your memory. You wouldn't have to be

397
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:49,599
young and foolish again, only young. You'd be as wise

398
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,680
as you are today, all the experience, none of the fatigue.

399
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,839
How can you know that I pooved it a hundred

400
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:01,200
times with animals. Oh, we'll retain our memory alright, O?

401
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,599
You too? Why do you think I went to the trouble.

402
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:07,839
How do you think I intend to live with this

403
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,519
bone weary old body of mine when four drops of

404
00:24:11,599 --> 00:24:14,680
our J ninety seven will make it young and song again.

405
00:24:15,319 --> 00:24:22,400
You and I, Jessica, there are sutain emises I'll ask

406
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,599
you to make. If you wouldn't expect to get a

407
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:29,960
thing like youth and nothing, would you? I see what

408
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,960
promise is. I won't ask for your soul, although that

409
00:24:33,279 --> 00:24:37,400
is the going price. I understand. No, no, not your soul.

410
00:24:38,079 --> 00:24:40,880
All I require of you is that you would.

411
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,799
Speaker 7: Jasey Jesse, Wait a minute, I wanna talk to you.

412
00:24:51,079 --> 00:24:53,559
Speaker 5: I have to make a phone called bit Uh. I'll

413
00:24:53,599 --> 00:24:54,400
have the operator.

414
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 7: Jesse.

415
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,799
Speaker 3: Please, you were in the lab with Nathan, weren't you?

416
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 6: Yes?

417
00:25:02,839 --> 00:25:03,519
Speaker 4: What happened?

418
00:25:05,079 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: Please, Jesse?

419
00:25:06,279 --> 00:25:12,039
Speaker 3: I have to know nothing, nothing much really happened. He

420
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,200
gave that old dog a dose of some kind of

421
00:25:14,319 --> 00:25:17,319
medicine and it got better. That's all I saw.

422
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,839
Speaker 4: He gave it a dose of medicine.

423
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,319
Speaker 6: That's right. He's lying to you.

424
00:25:25,279 --> 00:25:27,519
Speaker 3: He wouldn't drive himself the way he does.

425
00:25:27,599 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: Just to cure a sick dog. You let him fool you, Jesse.

426
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 7: You let him pull the wall over your eyes.

427
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,079
Speaker 6: Yes, I have to make this phone call.

428
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,799
Speaker 3: I'm in a hurry, all right, that he is lying?

429
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: And you call me mister Hardy, Yes, I called him.

430
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:55,279
Uh huh. Take a look at old patchy, actual actual patchy.

431
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 3: There.

432
00:25:56,559 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: I know it ain't nothing but a park. It's that's

433
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:01,160
you all the same.

434
00:26:01,559 --> 00:26:05,599
Speaker 8: Well, la sakes that shot of r J ninety seven

435
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,119
short took hold on him, didn't I.

436
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:09,039
Speaker 7: That?

437
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 2: There's just about the best one yet, no reason why

438
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,000
it shouldn't work just as well for you.

439
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:15,759
Speaker 1: I sure hope.

440
00:26:15,839 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 2: So when my time comes, cal hm, car, it's time?

441
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:20,839

Speaker 3: What for me?

00:26:24,519 --> 00:26:30,440

448
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 8: Uh? Well yeah, yeah, you ain't having yours now.

449
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: No, there are a few things I have to take

450
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:56,680
care of first. You go ahead, Hey, uh, well, here goes.

451
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:04,480
Good luck. Cow. Can't that kind of catches in your throat,

452
00:27:05,599 --> 00:27:10,000
don't it? I wouldn't be surprised how long how long

453
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:17,599
you reckon the foot? It hurts mister Hardie hurts my stomach.

454
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:22,559
That world last long cow? Hey, Oh, I think you'd

455
00:27:22,599 --> 00:27:24,799
better just sit down here?

456
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 8: Wasn't IRG ninety seven?

457
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:29,799
Speaker 1: You put it by clink?

458
00:27:30,039 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 2: Was it?

459
00:27:30,319 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: I couldn't leave you free to talk? Why isn't me?

460
00:27:36,039 --> 00:27:40,160
I'm gonna die tobout how they'd mob me? Everybody wanted

461
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,920
to get catch you see there. You wouldn't have known

462
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,599
what to do with it. Anyway, you'd have wasted it.

463
00:27:46,039 --> 00:27:47,559
Oh the way I.

464
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 2: Worked, and even the doors, the hats you gave them,

465
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,079
theirs put me you keep here?

466
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: Ah, I'm sorry, can truly I'm sorry. Here is a

467
00:28:11,839 --> 00:28:16,000
man who dispenses youth out of one bottle and out

468
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,519
of another. Death give a man that kind of power,

469
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,000
and who knows in what direction it will bend his mind?

470
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,039
But would you want to be the person who.

471
00:28:29,079 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 8: Drank four drops out of one or perhaps the other

472
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,119
of his bottles. Jessica Stone has a decision to make.

473
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,240
We'll see how she makes it when I returned shortly

474
00:28:42,720 --> 00:29:00,799
with Act three, there's nothing very new about a desire

475
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:05,279
to recapture youth. Counts de Leon traveled a long way

476
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,640
looking for a fountain of youth that didn't exist. A

477
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,799
fellow named Faust is said to have sold his soul

478
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:17,599
to the devil in exchange for youth, who though could

479
00:29:17,759 --> 00:29:20,480
yearn more poignantly for.

480
00:29:20,599 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: The return of youth.

481
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,759
Speaker 2: And a famous actress who is beginning to realize that

482
00:29:26,039 --> 00:29:30,960
youth and beauty are slipping away from her. Nathan Hardy

483
00:29:31,039 --> 00:29:35,640
has offered Jessica Stone her second chance at youth.

484
00:29:36,599 --> 00:29:41,279
Speaker 3: Hello them, Jessica, La looked at something you must do

485
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:41,720
for me?

486
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: Of course?

487
00:29:42,519 --> 00:29:44,319
Speaker 4: What liquidate everything?

488
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 3: Understand, Tell everything I own for whatever you can get,

489
00:29:48,519 --> 00:29:51,000
and bring the money up here to me in cash,

490
00:29:52,279 --> 00:29:56,799
in cash, yes, clea cash, Jessica, are you out of

491
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:57,400
your mind?

492
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 4: Within twenty four hours? Don't try to make decisions for me, Jim,

493
00:30:02,599 --> 00:30:03,759
Just do as I say.

494
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,359
Speaker 1: Don't damn well, I can't sell everything within twenty four hours.

495
00:30:07,359 --> 00:30:08,200
It's impossible.

496
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,119
Speaker 6: Don't make problems for me.

497
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 7: Just get the money, all right, Jim, Jim, Nathan.

498
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 4: Have you seen Cal anywhere?

499
00:30:25,039 --> 00:30:26,039
Speaker 1: M Cal?

500
00:30:27,039 --> 00:30:27,079
Speaker 7: No?

501
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:28,079
Speaker 1: Why?

502
00:30:28,279 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 4: Then, well, I'd like him to go to the shopping center.

503
00:30:31,559 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: I gave Carol the day off to day. As a

504
00:30:34,759 --> 00:30:37,000
matter of fact, he may be gone for several days.

505
00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:39,279
Has some kind of family trouble. I didn't get the

506
00:30:39,319 --> 00:30:39,759
straight of it.

507
00:30:40,319 --> 00:30:46,079
Speaker 4: Family trouble, Well, so myself. Maybe Jessica would like to

508
00:30:46,119 --> 00:30:46,559
go with me.

509
00:30:47,599 --> 00:30:50,079
Speaker 1: Well, the truth is I promised to show Jessica the

510
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,160
Rose Garden this afternoon.

511
00:30:52,759 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 3: The roads garden.

512
00:30:54,279 --> 00:30:56,359
Speaker 4: But Nathan, she can see that anytime.

513
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: The point is, Beth, she wanted to see it this afternoon,

514
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,480
and I promised to show it to her.

515
00:31:12,319 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 4: Nathan, I don't like deceiving Beth. Why would you make

516
00:31:16,839 --> 00:31:20,079
bes young again? There's enough of that stuff he isn't

517
00:31:20,119 --> 00:31:21,000
there for all of us.

518
00:31:21,079 --> 00:31:25,359
Speaker 1: That stuff is called r J ninety seven. There's enough, Yes,

519
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,440
but I don't want to give it to Beth. I

520
00:31:28,519 --> 00:31:29,279
wanna give it to you.

521
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,559
Speaker 4: Couldn't you give it to both of us? She'd be

522
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,720
young and beautiful again. She was beautiful when you're married.

523
00:31:35,799 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: H huh as beautiful as you. Oh you I have

524
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,200
always loved always, Oh, Jessica, and I can give you

525
00:31:43,319 --> 00:31:46,440
such a life. Think of it, both of us young,

526
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,160
A brilliant scientist, a great actress.

527
00:31:49,519 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 3: Nathan. What's that?

528
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:52,319
Speaker 1: What's what.

529
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 4: Under that big tree? That mom looks like a grave?

530
00:31:58,119 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: A fresh grave? Oh yes, yes, if there's a grade

531
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,119
nae from one of my dogs died this morning I

532
00:32:05,319 --> 00:32:05,839
buried him.

533
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,119
Speaker 4: Looks big enough to be a man's face.

534
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: He was a safe but not as big as a

535
00:32:12,559 --> 00:32:13,200
man of her.

536
00:32:15,519 --> 00:32:20,839
Speaker 3: Let's get out of here, alright, Nathan, n I I

537
00:32:21,119 --> 00:32:22,519
can't do this to death.

538
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: You insistly be married? Why that big? Oh not really?

539
00:32:28,599 --> 00:32:32,279
We'll be completely different people, don't you understand? In our twenties,

540
00:32:32,759 --> 00:32:35,559
As far as anybody can tell her, we won't be

541
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,480
Nathan Hardy and Jessica's stone anymore. We don't love you,

542
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,680
but I won't be the same man. Can't you get

543
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,599
that through your head? I'll be well. Actually, I how

544
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,039
big as young as you? And I wasn't a bad

545
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,240
looking man when I was young, Jessica. Not the points.

546
00:32:51,799 --> 00:32:54,480
I don't love you, Jessica. We're going to do this

547
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,839
my way. Oh, we're not going to do it at all.

548
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 4: I'll get it.

549
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,559
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's for you, Jesse. Good best thing you

550
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:11,599
were mad in New York.

551
00:33:12,599 --> 00:33:13,839
Speaker 4: I guess it could be Jim.

552
00:33:14,039 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 3: Yes, I told him I wanted the money here by falling.

553
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 5: Oh it's for you, Jesse.

554
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 6: Oh okay, thank you.

555
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,039
Speaker 4: Jim Blake from New York again. He has a nice voice.

Speaker 4: Yes, I'll borrow Nathan's car.

Speaker 1: I'll be dead all right?

565
00:33:55,839 --> 00:33:56,599
Speaker 5: Is it coming here?

566
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:58,599
Speaker 7: That's wonderful?

Speaker 4: He's uh, he heems very upset.

568
00:34:03,359 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: What about What right has he to be upset? He's

569
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:06,480
going to be a business manager.

570
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 5: Well, he's a good friend too, or used to be,

571
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:23,400
just for me.

572
00:34:23,519 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 3: I come in, What is it?

573
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,639
Speaker 5: I couldn't sleep, Oh and I thought I.

00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 4: Heard you cry.

575
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:37,599
Speaker 6: Oh that I couldn't do it.

576
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,559
Speaker 1: I just can't do what.

577
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:43,519
Speaker 5: Could Nathan wants you to?

578
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,519
Speaker 6: What Nathan wants you to?

579
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:51,559
Speaker 4: I lied to you.

580
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 6: I didn't find out what she's been working on it.

581
00:34:56,159 --> 00:35:01,159
Speaker 3: He's developed a sing a serum or something that he

582
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,159
called r J ninety seven.

583
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,679
Speaker 6: He gave it to that old dog in a few minutes.

584
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,199
The dog is young, and it's for you.

585
00:35:20,039 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 3: To marry him after we've both taken the RG ninety seven.

586
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 5: Just that if you didn't exist.

587
00:35:29,039 --> 00:35:31,199
Speaker 1: He is really a dreadful man, isn't he.

588
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 4: I think I know who is in that grave.

589
00:35:37,079 --> 00:35:43,079
Speaker 3: A person you meet, not a dog, Cow, a handyman.

590
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,000
He had to go away, Nathan said, because of some

591
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:47,400
kind of family trouble.

592
00:35:47,519 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 4: Cow doesn't have any.

593
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,199
Speaker 3: Family that I ever heard of.

594
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 4: Who will have to call the policeman?

595
00:35:52,559 --> 00:35:55,280
Speaker 1: No, no, not just yet.

596
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 3: You say you really believe that he can make people

597
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:00,519
young again.

598
00:36:01,199 --> 00:36:02,639
Speaker 4: He made the dog young.

599
00:36:03,599 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 6: I saw that with my own eye.

600
00:36:06,039 --> 00:36:08,079
Speaker 1: I want some about r J.

601
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:09,119
Speaker 4: Whatever it is.

602
00:36:10,119 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll give it to you.

603
00:36:11,639 --> 00:36:22,760
Speaker 6: Bet I'll think of a way to get it. It's

604
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,760
about uh a knowledge. Drive to the house, Jim, Oh,

605
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,320
I have so much to talk.

606
00:36:28,159 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 3: To you about it.

607
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,679
Speaker 1: I brought you fifty thousand dollars.

608
00:36:32,159 --> 00:36:36,679
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter now, Jim, the money doesn't matter. That's

609
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,360
all changed, Oh, Jim.

610
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 3: Nathan has found out how to make old.

611
00:36:44,119 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: People young again. Found to come.

612
00:36:48,679 --> 00:36:52,079
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, he can do it. I saw

613
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,599
him with a dog, and he wants to make me young,

614
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,159
just me and him, and then he wants to.

615
00:37:01,159 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 5: But I told this, and she thinks she can.

616
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,559
Speaker 1: When you stop it, Jessica, to stop it. You're not

617
00:37:07,639 --> 00:37:08,400
making any sense.

618
00:37:08,519 --> 00:37:13,559
Speaker 3: Smith and you and I, Jim, we're all going to

619
00:37:13,599 --> 00:37:19,599
be young against.

620
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,559
Speaker 8: Even if there's any truth in all those nonsters, which

621
00:37:19,559 --> 00:37:20,639
I don't believe for a minute.

622
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: I don't want any part of this, But Jim, it

623
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,239
is unnatural and it's no good.

624
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 4: Jessica, I'm going to do it.

625
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,599
Speaker 5: I want to be young.

626
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: Did he bring the money?

627
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, Nathan, he brought it. How much all he

628
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,280
could get on such short note?

629
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,760
Speaker 3: How much fifty thousand dollars?

630
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,039
Speaker 1: That's all right, it's enough to get stopped with.

631
00:37:51,559 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 2: Nathan.

632
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 4: I'm not going to marry you.

633
00:37:56,599 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: I think you will.

634
00:37:59,159 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 5: I suppose i'd be.

635
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 3: He's smarter to let you think I intend to, But

636
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:04,159
I just can't.

637
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 4: I don't love you.

638
00:38:05,559 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 3: I don't even like you, even if you weren't married

639
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,559
to Beth, even then I couldn't.

640
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,599
Speaker 1: Jessica, that's not very kind of you.

641
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:20,119
Speaker 3: No, but sometimes it's impossible to be both kind and honest.

642
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 2: Well, we'll go ahead with a plan. Maybe you'll change

643
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:33,000
your mind when we're both young. Why don't we just

644
00:38:33,159 --> 00:38:35,559
get out of this place. I don't trust that.

645
00:38:36,039 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 3: Oh No. If he's found a way to make people's young,

646
00:38:40,039 --> 00:38:41,199
eye intend.

647
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,519
Speaker 4: To be one of the people it's alright, Chim, You

648
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,039
and Beth will be right.

649
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 3: There in his living room, just outside the lab.

650
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,199
Speaker 1: Well, how can we get in there without his knowing?

651
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:51,519
Speaker 4: I don't think you ought to be hard.

652
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,119
Speaker 3: I'll leave there to shakecase with the money in my.

653
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 5: Room, say I've forgotten it.

654
00:38:57,639 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 3: I'll tell him I don't feel well enough to go

655
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,840
back upstairs for it, you know, partly from nervousness. Partly

656
00:39:04,199 --> 00:39:07,840
is to from the smell in the lab, and it

657
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:09,400
really does smell all.

658
00:39:09,639 --> 00:39:11,039
Speaker 1: I don't see what that has to do with.

659
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:12,559
Speaker 4: He'll go up and get the money.

660
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,679
Speaker 3: Believe me, he won't make 'em move until he has

661
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,639
his hands on that money. So when he leaves, you

662
00:39:20,119 --> 00:39:23,079
and Beth can come in and hide.

663
00:39:24,159 --> 00:39:28,039
Speaker 1: I don't like it. I don't like any part of it,

664
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,960
read Bloys Gray. I have to say a case, Jessica.

665
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 3: That's the one Nathan iry in the bedroom. Make sure he.

666
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: Leaves the door open, right right?

667
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:42,119
Speaker 3: All?

668
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 1: Are you feeling better now, Jessica?

669
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 3: Not much? I I don't know.

670
00:39:46,679 --> 00:39:51,199
Speaker 4: I feel sort of fade. It's very close in here.

671
00:39:52,119 --> 00:39:55,119
Speaker 1: Go on into the lab. Let's get this over with it.

672
00:39:57,119 --> 00:39:59,519
Speaker 4: Nathan, Please, can't we have the door open?

673
00:39:59,639 --> 00:39:59,679
Speaker 3: That?

674
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,199
Speaker 4: Who did I I I simply can't breathe.

675
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:09,599
Speaker 1: Alright, I guess it doesn't matter. Everything's ready, Jessica. That's

676
00:40:09,639 --> 00:40:13,519
your glass there on the counter. Pick it up, Jessica.

677
00:40:15,559 --> 00:40:33,960
Alright is to youth. Now you, Jessica drink I can,

678
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,760
of course you can. You saw me drink mine. It's

679
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:38,599
perfectly safe.

680
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,639
Speaker 5: H I'm afraid.

681
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,159
Speaker 4: I don't want to anymore.

682
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: Alright, watch me stand there for a few minutes and

683
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:54,039
watch me grow young and strong again. Then see whether

684
00:40:54,199 --> 00:41:02,559
or not you want to look at me. Look at me.

685
00:41:03,119 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 4: Oh lord, look, I could call it.

686
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: It's better than my thoughts. I feel. I feel wonderful.

687
00:41:16,199 --> 00:41:19,320
Now you can drink yours, Jessica. You can see that

688
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:19,920
it's safe.

689
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 3: I can't.

690
00:41:24,519 --> 00:41:25,119
Speaker 5: I don't want it.

691
00:41:26,559 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 6: I don't want to be the way you are.

692
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:34,199
Speaker 1: Drink it and give it to me, jeff I'll drink it. No,

693
00:41:34,599 --> 00:41:37,719

694
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 3: There?

695
00:41:47,599 --> 00:41:51,039
Speaker 1: Why didn't hurt? I told you not too badful? It

696
00:41:51,199 --> 00:41:52,280
was meant for Jessica.

697
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:56,599
Speaker 5: Down my stomach?

698
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 6: Ohton' what' hive being ugly?

699
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,280
Speaker 2: Oh hm?

700
00:42:06,119 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 1: Oh the.

701
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 2: There's no pulse. It's her own fault. I told her

702
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,840
not to drink it. It was coorse and wasn't it?

703
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,239
And you meant it for Jestice. She wouldn't marry me.

704
00:42:17,559 --> 00:42:20,000
She said terrible things to me. She deserves to die,

705
00:42:20,119 --> 00:42:24,239
and didn't you. I'm going to kill him away from

706
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,119
me yet, meet, don't move e bar of you.

707
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: I'd have to kill you, you know, no matter what.

708
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,480
But if you try anything, I'll do it sooner. An

709
00:42:33,519 --> 00:42:38,599
he needs I'm sure he does. Here in this bottle

710
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,800
is every drop of Arch ninety seven, but it is

711
00:42:42,199 --> 00:42:49,400
everywhere in all the world. I watch closely, all down

712
00:42:49,599 --> 00:42:53,440
the drain, so that there'll never be anyone else. You

713
00:42:53,559 --> 00:43:00,480
see only me. Now watch this. This is the formula

714
00:43:00,639 --> 00:43:04,039
for r J ninety seven. And in this file are

715
00:43:04,039 --> 00:43:07,599
all the notes I made, step by step for ten

716
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:13,880
long years, torn up in just a few seconds. Yes,

717
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:20,639
I dropped them in the waste basket, and now I

718
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:26,519
strike a match. I drop it in the waste basket.

719
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:31,039
Ten years work up in flames. Don't worry it, doll,

720
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,800
I have it all in my head. I can make more,

721
00:43:34,079 --> 00:43:36,760
uh Jane ninety seven when I need it in forty

722
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:44,920
or fifty years. But no one else ever, Jessica, I

723
00:43:45,079 --> 00:43:47,960
want you to go to the door and close it.

724
00:43:48,079 --> 00:43:53,039
It's setting up a draft. Very slowly and carefully, so

725
00:43:53,199 --> 00:43:56,079
you don't make me nervous with this gun in my hand.

726
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,880
Do as he says. Just but your enough to move

727
00:43:59,159 --> 00:44:03,960
jim m as much as a muscat. He run, Jessica,

728
00:44:04,079 --> 00:44:05,000
I hold you again.

729
00:44:05,679 --> 00:44:11,599
Speaker 2: Now non's bleeding.

730
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,559
Speaker 1: Never mind. Now we've got him shut inside there.

731
00:44:15,639 --> 00:44:17,599
Speaker 2: Now, help me move this couch in front of the

732
00:44:17,679 --> 00:44:19,840
door so he can't get out.

733
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: After you push me out of the door.

734
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,800
Speaker 5: I durn shot him. You're bleeding.

735
00:44:28,039 --> 00:44:33,159
Speaker 1: He's not a very good shot. He killed this he'll

736
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:40,199
pay for it, or poor Davis police.

737
00:44:41,079 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 2: I want to report a murder, Yes, murder at the

738
00:44:45,039 --> 00:44:45,719
Hardy place.

739
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,559
Speaker 1: Nathan Hardy, well.

740
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 8: Him.

741
00:44:56,039 --> 00:44:57,119
Speaker 5: The lad's on fire.

742
00:44:57,599 --> 00:44:59,559
Speaker 2: The fire in the waste basket must have set off

743
00:44:59,639 --> 00:45:02,000
some kind You stayed back, Jessica.

744
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: The heat. The heat is too much. I'm afraid the

745
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:09,719
whole place is going. Oh, poor Beth. I'm sorry, Jessica.

746
00:45:10,559 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 4: You know what I forgot yet shaped you all that money?

747
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:16,119
I left it in the laboratory.

748
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:20,119
Speaker 1: Considering what might have happened to you, it's not too

749
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:21,280
high a price to pay.

750
00:45:28,519 --> 00:45:32,280
Speaker 2: As I said earlier, aging is a process shared by

751
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,239
all living things, always has been and always will be.

752
00:45:36,199 --> 00:45:41,559
Waist lines expand, hair turned gray or disappears altogether, and

753
00:45:42,199 --> 00:45:46,039
except for an occasional Nathan Hardy, we all managed to

754
00:45:46,119 --> 00:45:47,760
take a pretty philosophically.

755
00:45:48,559 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 1: It isn't all downhill. It has its compensations.

756
00:45:54,079 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 2: I'll be back shortly and living quite happily in New

757
00:45:57,559 --> 00:46:01,519
York City now that it doesn't matter to her particularly.

758
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:06,079
Jessica is, of course one of the busiest actresses around,

759
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:11,800
and she's happy. After all, doesn't her husband always do

760
00:46:12,039 --> 00:46:16,239
