Speaker 1: H finding light with a bow, stringing again of exotic places,
wishing with some willing, There offer us escape.
Speaker 2: Escape, designed to pray from the four walls of pre
There for half all of high adventure. Escape with us
now for the year one hundred thousand and eighty, and
a world where beauty and talent as side by side
as eight te Wells that tribes it in his immortal staring.
The time machine, Dot, you must be mad.
Speaker 3: A time machine. Here's my friend, a time machine.
Speaker 4: This thing, this very thing, the compassions, this framework made
of quartz and bronze ivory, with its.
Speaker 5: Levers and styles, and the seasons in middle.
Speaker 3: This is the result of three years hard work. I
promise you follow that on.
Speaker 1: This machine a man can go wherever he likes in time.
By working these leather the man can choose. Essentially his years.
Speaker 3: Is very days for real, old man. Time is only
a time of space.
Speaker 1: If we can move about on all the other dimensions
of space, why not in time too?
Speaker 3: It is impossible. Out of the questions, but.
Speaker 4: All of the journeys I've already taken him on this
little contraction.
Speaker 3: I'm afraid you've been having a bad dream. May not
develop into a liar. Very well, you shall have proof,
my friends. How the time follow the teach beside me.
Thanks these ivory dials, and I'll take you for a
little sin well you mean right now? Right now? Or
just indusr? Things should take off like the flying red horse.
Out of any preparations you a be look at. This
should not even a tooth brush. You'll be back here
in my laboratory in less than a minute. No, I
I'm on now, old tight.
Speaker 5: It sways a good deal, and heye.
Speaker 3: To lose you. I gotta be frightened, Dudley, and your
braver than I am. Tell me what time is it?
Speaker 5: It's just twelve noon?
Speaker 3: Always started one who with justice control of this? Is
everything ships right? What did you notice anything?
Speaker 4: You think?
Speaker 3: I mean noise, humming, noise, nothing else? What time of it?
You just ask me, old man, it's true. I saw
what my watch says eleven o'clock. It was sworn it
was noon a moment ago. Must be something wrong with it.
Speaker 1: Told that I touched the levels and test it, and
we've gone forward a full day, twenty.
Speaker 3: Three hours away. Yes that's actually finished, scoffling color. Yes, yes,
I believe I have the hold tight, this will be
the real article. I'm ready to me good.
Speaker 4: Man, well take good five, take your fine dine hundred
six three dollars.
Speaker 3: They went over. They had written job making swaying say, laboratory,
still away like this, leaving us today. I don't think
up my seat.
Speaker 6: I thought this smart, having a pot of the sky
being pos everything and everything second fine and sa I
know the moon winning.
Speaker 3: So it was like a bat a musical, all.
Speaker 4: The clinking of an eye, three group and drop like
a couple of slops, and then.
Speaker 3: Passed away all the fire. We were going back now
our pay give a second a second flight, second flight
of snow fighting across the world. And the color was
a quite squat straight and still he went off. He's
in the future.
Speaker 6: All the pels three weeks past, all that. Don't off, Amy,
I thought it become run one hundred fo the get there,
I say, say.
Speaker 4: Something, stand say anymore, sund it.
Speaker 3: You are right anyway, han't believe so the broken bone,
what happened? I'm not sure not to stop to suddenly?
Where are we doubling?
Speaker 1: The grolsy yourself a wide, long, beautiful, vast gardener.
Speaker 3: I meant geographically just very well. When we started where
my laboratory stood one hundred thousand years ago, and the
year Dudley, what is the year now?
Speaker 4: One hundred thousand and eighty, it seemed as the looting
inc but me the pleasant ones for the garden which
we found ourselves was beautiful in summary, with an unexpected.
Speaker 3: Perfume about it, always like the teens. At some distance.
It could be a large and imposing building, and everything
was required in the peaceful but almost too much.
Speaker 5: Soul and the sense of strangeness, an incriminal strangeness, and
shugar my spine Hill, one hundred thousand and eighty.
Speaker 3: Do you.
Speaker 2: Want to go back?
Speaker 3: Yes? Yes, I rather think I let's go back from
over there the bushes from the humans tomorrow.
Speaker 4: If a child seems to be a very small girl
with a beast and some kind of mark in her house,
my dear, you'll be all right now. You will be
harmed because she wasn't stand English bustioning us to go
with her. And what about the animal?
Speaker 3: Did you see? No that I live too fast for her?
Perhaps you got to go back to uplish. The girl
seems to be all right now? I mean, are like, yes,
get bad enough. Well, they haven't program because they're here
all around them. They had up on sounds of feet
to surround them. The little people are the dealer, and
the girl we saved was not a child, but a
full grown woman.
Speaker 4: But they all stood four feet high, dressed in simple tunics, beautiful.
Speaker 3: Creatures that have it trailed. There's some soft kind of frailty.
They were like weary figures in the dreams. And all
we could hear was the rustling of their clothes that
they have said happily around us, their faces and we
do smiles. Why they're not savage at all? They had
very loving, gentle little people. Yeah, there's something terribly wrong.
Now do you mean seem to have the minds of
five year old? How do you listened? To be far
ahead of us?
Speaker 1: They've caused incredibly ahead of us the knowledge and science.
Speaker 4: We look at them children, they seem happy in this
huge gargments that I've changed my mind. Let's stay that
we shall enjoy spending a few days with our little friends.
The little people led us home into their valley. The
lit a colossal building, leaving all together in one huge hall,
seating in another, playing squallocking together.
Speaker 3: In the sunshine, and we lived with them for days
in utter contentions.
Speaker 4: One afternoon, Dudley and I walked along the banks of
the great city, the little people.
Speaker 1: All the way, the same clothes, the strange soft hairless skins,
same semline roundness of limbs, orders because they're vegetarian, the
vegetarian because they had to be then run across, and
the horses of.
Speaker 3: Dogs, cattalica and areas. No nother dimension was good reason,
all extinct by love. This is a dilasauries with us, Dudley.
There is something strange here, something hidden away and silent
here in the year one hundred thousand and eighty out
the same way. I think it's precaution of removing the
control levels of the time machine, putting a massive paddle
in the main switches on.
Speaker 1: The much fancy the idea of someone riding away with
it into another century and leaving us here for the rest.
Speaker 3: Of our lives. Dudley, you know where we are, yes,
this is where we were ended right off. I wasn't
sure what did you ask? What happened to the machines?
But they take it away, they've stolen it.
Speaker 5: This is where it was.
Speaker 2: It's right here, look hollow time here where the dragon over.
Speaker 3: Come along, done it fast right there, the monuments, the
brass doors and the base so hard and locked the machine.
It must be in their hands tight we must get it.
No good buys. You will never never unny here.
Speaker 6: We never call a kidney see the fame machine.
Speaker 3: The laughs that Red Skelton and.
Speaker 4: Amos Andy bring to CBS and Sunday Nights are double
triples and quadruples because of the French relatives.
Speaker 3: And strange acquaintances they bring with him.
Speaker 4: Hardly a Sunday night goes by.
Speaker 3: If you meet.
Speaker 4: Shorty, the Kings Sapphire and the whole host of Amos
and Andy money friends. Red Skelton generously gets.
Speaker 3: Time to Willie clam and the rest of his laugh
provooking pals.
Speaker 4: You're invited to meet them all again tonight on most
of these same stations. When Red Skelton and his gang
and Amos and Andy and their friends back the house
with mert, that's the as the stars a dress, and
now we'll return you to escape.
Speaker 3: We were caught in the year one hundred thousand of matings.
The time machine was gone. The brass doors of the monuments.
Speaker 4: Hills, our retreat was cut off, the thin line by
which we could make our way back home, back to
our own times and our own people, back to nineteen fifty.
Speaker 5: We had no way of communicating with the little.
Speaker 3: People, of asking what they had done with the machine,
or for how to get it back. There was nothing
hostile in their attitude. They were more like simple wondering children.
Only once the young woman Weena, who was slightly had
stayed on our first day, had become really friendly.
Speaker 4: She went with us wherever we walked, faught as presents
of starland flowers, lept mirrors at night in the fall,
and we in turn at top of a.
Speaker 3: Few words of English.
Speaker 4: Now we've doubled our records, like men racing against the truck,
so that we might speak to earn, distubble the seekers
of our immense luck.
Speaker 3: We were talking to her, one night after the other
at no, yes, no, how can you be so sure
your people? Machines?
Speaker 2: Are there any thieves?
Speaker 3: And on your perfect so nothing? Wakeen And she doesn't understand.
He must be sleeping somewhere in his hall. We are
they take machines?
Speaker 4: You certainly?
Speaker 3: No, we we are a friend m we must have machines. Yes, yes,
who took machines other people, not yours? What about those doors?
Speaker 4: We know.
Speaker 3: Doors open you a machine in in there must open,
must hope.
Speaker 4: Oh oh, of.
Speaker 3: Course we jest word mm hmmmm, to become us? How
are we caught here in this century? We spend our
lives with the little people of the secret. We'll go
back to the monument tomorrow. You will find a way
of breaking good night, buddy, suddenly say did you just
here again?
Speaker 4: And my face cool into the touch, and my face
in my hair.
Speaker 1: That the claim.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but the little people are all away.
Let's get out of here, I went the fresh hair.
Speaker 4: We went quickly through the hall from outside, away from
the frantic rustling of the little people.
Speaker 3: The moon was full of the over hair rooms, and
it was close to din, with the pink towns feeding
close behind us. And we turned our nerves we like it,
our muscles pink, and it was only we lied, coming
swiftly to join us. Then what do you mean when
are dark? But why should it be a fit of
the night that made nothing like a long dark place?
That's our Cuba, Perhaps just something underground.
Speaker 4: It was another day we had wandered into a lovely
wooded place about the miles from the community.
Speaker 3: Suddenly we not screamed, reaped up short.
Speaker 4: A pair of glaring eyes were fixed upon us as
we stood there petrified the thing. A little ape like
figure rushed the copper path and disappeared in the clearing
about thirty yards away. And it seemed to be a
dull white with white hair on its head and bois
back and looked like a small He was running on
all paws over this Contreena.
Speaker 3: You know what, who are them? Morelocks? What are they?
Speaker 4: Weena?
Speaker 3: Tell me, let's go over there and see where it disappeared.
Come along, power. In the clearing we found around well
like over Dudley, and I leaned over and looked down
a deep hank. A small white creature was beating down
a madder in the well. A human spider with large,
bright eyes watching me. That went swiftly down. Then it
disappeared in the half hour. Did you see it like
an eight? Yes, but also like men. So there are
two species of men in this world.
Speaker 4: Yes, the little people above, the growl of this upscene thing,
this bleached monster below, and let white look common to
animals that live in the dark. My huge rats are
worms that are cold to the touch.
Speaker 3: I know because they've touched Malla. You can feel the
air being sucked down into the shafts.
Speaker 1: Yes, the earth must be tunneled enormously here and drafted.
These monsters must live in the tunnels.
Speaker 3: I think we know now who's stole our time machine. Ah,
then then we'll.
Speaker 2: Go down and have a look.
Speaker 3: Whoa, let go, you're not you've never come back. We
must have our machine, my dear, you wait for us here.
Speaker 4: And so we went down, our heels ringing on the
small metallic bars that were mental creatures, so much smaller
than us.
Speaker 3: Down we climb down, down, ever.
Speaker 4: In darkness, down seemed to the center of the earth,
into the poor of the world.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so much longer? Oh no, can we reach bottom?
Speaker 4: Can't be much color?
Speaker 3: Yeah you hear that? Are you hearing all? Not? There?
Thank Heaven for that? All right? All right, him on
the bottom, come along just too of that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, give me your hands.
Speaker 3: Here, we're here in the land of the molocks. Yeah,
the match, yes, yes, yes, here it'll be a large
vaulted together at the end of this passage. What do
you suppose they'll do The conchs. I had no idea.
Let it take care of lot to be caught. Another
man live the bothering mind. Suddenly there that them pupping
the air out the thousands upon the close of the
smaller than eleven years. You haven't seen any yet. They
kept a lot of friends who came down the head
of it. Why why do you suppose they want by
time machine? I think they wanted us on the machines.
Speaker 4: And we come to them.
Speaker 3: We lost early child color. If that noise does come
from air pumps, yeah, why is it so stuffy?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: So a pressing dody that smells blood black mother match study,
but straight ahead on the white metal treat that for
a year. Yes, the more haunch they know that the
cattle are think then what they've done is more lock.
But you know, yes, I know.
Speaker 4: Another match, Yes, yes that I have no more have
used the last match?
Speaker 3: Oh well, let's we have to go back there. You
know the secret now?
Speaker 4: Anyway, MLAs living here underground at the matters of this age.
Speaker 3: And our friends up above, and this cattle set by them.
Speaker 1: Allas clothes apply the house until the day when when
they've cut out of the herd and brought.
Speaker 3: Under ground of food distance. The futures are looking at.
This is what we met of the twentieth century, shall
come to that? What can ton't you what? They're darkness?
They went back in an evil darkness, fighting every seventh.
We went ye, back to those projecting bars, keeping.
Speaker 4: Human crying, our high bluing and kind of grasping and
rising up again upcard daylight and freedom, away from their stretch.
Speaker 3: And the eagerness of their icy hands. And they did
not follow what daylight was their enemies and their great tears.
Speaker 4: We lived among the lush gardens of the little people,
like prisoners, like men without the tree, like.
Speaker 3: Men who are dead. So they still walked. The earth
for the times was locked away behind great glass doors,
and we knew we could never force them open. Then
one day we had told this of an old book,
an anxious.
Speaker 4: Time structure that had survived through many ages and was
filled with many curious objects.
Speaker 3: A museum, that it must be a museum power, But
from from earlier time I'm in no mood to going
in a museum.
Speaker 1: Do you see what specimens pometically sealed in the museums?
Speaker 3: Press? There are things, weapons, machinery is something we can.
Speaker 4: Us yes, of course, if we could find some dynamite
or gunpowder, if we could glass those doors, we could
get in.
Speaker 3: Then where is this place? Arena? This this old building
that no one ever goes near. I thank you a
chanceful man, a swim one, but a chance number. All
day we wandered through the great ruin laws. The bill
had been deserted. I knew, but perhaps a century. The
childlike men that time had long since used to care
about anything but their own personal compass. It was late afternoon,
and growing back, and came up the section we have
found nothing useful to us until then. Now came the
worst disappoints of all. And it's dust, all.
Speaker 4: Be dust ptenion another dad's hopeless.
Speaker 1: We were out of our head hope that nitrates would
retain their form for one.
Speaker 3: Hundred thousand years.
Speaker 4: So m m hm oh, wait just a moment, something
in this case and you can break it with your
eleven stand back, a little.
Speaker 3: Box of matches, smatically see a way, Let me see
that's perfect. But don't you dance? What should we do?
Burns down those brass rooms? You better keep them.
Speaker 4: You can can't tell us from the Floyd Lola put
Prince leading away into the darkstipy into the gallery. So
we better go like keen up and carry when I
come and fight, and don't be fighting by the we'll
be all like Hi. We came on of the gloom
of that flaced into the deeper gloom of dusk, and
suddenly we passed. He would set all around us with
them alas they were about the sus surrounding us and
coming closing a long wooden line of death, like their
eyes blinking in a half light, the tiny mouth and
lie whatever.
Speaker 6: Time as the masters of fire, O the horse is Hi.
We're having in shadow again in the mis.
Speaker 3: I little sense a light like fire, and the head
of the conti of the face. But monats turned into
fear and tried by the player. Some of them plumbered
into the ddle of the.
Speaker 4: Raging plane, and the rest traded away like a pot.
But they have left narrows have the way for our
retreatingly set down a larm corridor of peeping plane.
Speaker 3: And flipping it text to stake. Because the community of
a little people.
Speaker 4: As we ran it, has a huge fund string around
the store that were mut tight in our time machines
and in the player of the distance tires.
Speaker 2: We saw something that.
Speaker 3: Stopped the shot. They opened the door. It's attacked. They're
they're waiting for us in time, waiting or not worth
going in. It's still expect me one minute of throwd
on again. Then I touched the little away or right.
Speaker 4: God, by.
Speaker 3: No, my dear, you hold tag around my next you're
coming home with that right.
Speaker 4: Willing.
Speaker 3: I lost the machine.
Speaker 6: They had a coffee.
Speaker 3: I don't see them among our quiches, the the clothes,
get the scene.
Speaker 5: I'll be ready at the moment.
Speaker 3: I waited for the hum every single on the pacha
and there in the darkness Moloch. But suddenly upon the
cold the system sumers swore un over my bug touching
a passing away from the machine. I know that to
be a man who, like I missed them away.
Speaker 6: My test gives me letters with me all the time trying.
Speaker 3: The fire away with God very made it.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 3: I'm all my spots and wait up en give this
sing up. What happened? They talk from my hand the
last minute they got that, and I tried to save us.
I couldn't. I still ask peace laturnic, then the lacunic.
Speaker 4: Nothing else, and so we came home again, back into
the very minute from which we had met, back into
twelve noon. Out the twenty second, nineteen fifteen, we were
in Dublay's laboratory, again, motionless, sitting on the ridiculous contractions
which he has called time machine.
Speaker 5: Was it all agreeing?
Speaker 3: Did any of it happen? Could any of it happened?
Of course not, how stupid member of this that of
this little piece of green soup. I hold him my hands.
Speaker 1: Escape is produced and directed by Norman McDonald's Today We
Brought You The Time Machine by H. G. Wells, a
deathball radio by Irving Rabbits and starring John Dayner's father
and Larry Dubkin as Dudley.
Speaker 3: With Georgia Ellis as we Are. The special music for Escape.
Speaker 4: Was arranged and played by Ivan Detmars.
Speaker 3: Next Week Escape with Us a fall fishing boat off the.
Speaker 4: California coast and a night of keller and death at

Speaker 3: Into the tidings.
Speaker 2: Seven hours sleep. However, to da
