Speaker 1: Come in.
Speaker 2: Or welcome.
Speaker 1: I'm a g Marshall chauffeur of this ominous omnibus which
makes unscheduled stops for terror, suspense and murder. The life
of man, according to the ancient Greeks, was a thread,
a thread that passed through the hands of the three
goddesses of fate. The first was Clotho, who spun the thread,
the second was Lachisis, who wove the design, and the
third was Atropos, grim, implacable, Atropos who used the sharp
and terrible shears, Atropos who cut the thread of life
for all eternity.
Speaker 3: I don't want you to go.
Speaker 2: Why not?
Speaker 3: I told you why not. I can foresee the future,
and I know the plain will crash and you'll be killed.
You know the yes, Ted, I saw it in a dream.
Speaker 1: I'd like to test your powers of prophecy. You say,
you see what's going to happen to me twelve days
from now, on March twelfth.
Speaker 3: I've seen it. You get killed at the airport.
Speaker 1: Tell me what else did you see? What was on
the stock market page? Who won the races at Starlight Park?
That's what you say. You can foresee the future.
Speaker 3: I can ted believe me.
Speaker 1: I will if you can tell me what's stock to buy? Well,
I'm waiting. Our mystery drama The Ideas of March, was
written especially for the Mystery Theater by Sam Dan and
stars Nina Phousche and Les Tremayne. Albert Einstein had a theory.
It was called relativity. Although it changed the scientific thinking
of the world, less than a handful of people can
actually understand it. One facet of it says, in a
general way, if you travel at the speed of light,
the past, the present, the future become all tangled up
with each other in a general way. Then this could
mean that the future has already happened off somewhere and
it's waiting for us to catch up with it. Well,
then is it possible somehow to catch a glimpse of it.
There are people who say we do in dreams. The
problem is most people's dreams are mixed up, confused, and obscure,
as where the dreams of Cassandra Morrol. Until very recently,
until last night. Last night, she had a dream that
was so clear, so precise, so real.
Speaker 3: It's seven o'clock in the morning, the morning of March twelfth,
a morning that is still almost two weeks in the future.
Ted is gulping down a cup of coffee and we
are having an argument, a very bad argument.
Speaker 2: I just have time to get to the airport.
Speaker 3: Ted, Please don't go.
Speaker 2: Oh what's the matter with you?
Speaker 3: Do? Shout at me?
Speaker 1: Oh, please be sensible, be reasonable, be rational. Why can't
you believe me?
Speaker 2: What am I to tell mister Henderson? I can't go
to Chicago because my wife had a bad dream.
Speaker 3: You won't live to get to Chicago. That plane will
crash on takeoff.
Speaker 2: Cassie, this is the biggest day of my life.
Speaker 3: If you go to the airport, it will be the
last day.
Speaker 2: Of your life.
Speaker 1: Henderson has called a special meeting of the Bord of Directors.
These important people are coming in from all over the
country to meet me.
Speaker 3: Me.
Speaker 2: You know what that means. Don't go.
Speaker 3: I saw the flames, I heard the siren.
Speaker 2: This damn You've made me some nervous. I've spilled coffee
all over my new jacket.
Speaker 3: The jacket.
Speaker 2: Luck, he's got brown flecks. No one will notice it.
Speaker 3: The jacket. How could I have known about the jacket? Ted?
Speaker 2: Look, call your mother or my mother and have lunch.
Speaker 3: The jacket the cop the sign.
Speaker 1: How could I've known all that, Cassie. You just don't
want to face the truth.
Speaker 2: What truth? Deep down in your heart? You don't want
me to take.
Speaker 3: The job that isn't true. Go tomorrow.
Speaker 2: The meeting is today.
Speaker 3: Telephone, say say you're sick.
Speaker 2: I can't say I'm sick.
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know what's gotten into you. You better
call up doctor Miller for an appointment.
Speaker 2: I saw it all so clear.
Speaker 1: Look, I can't argue anymore. I have to make the plane.
I'll be home for dinner. Might as well drive my
own car at the airport.
Speaker 2: Goodbye, Cassie, Ted, I'm going, and that's all there is
to it. I'll call you from Chicago, Ted, Ted.
Speaker 3: I want to stop dreaming, but I can't. I hear
the car starting up in the driveway. What an incredible
dream I'm having. Never was there such detail. I could
hear the percolator, the tacking of the clock. There was
a whipperwheel that started his song outside the window every morning,
And now I heard him too. Ted's car pulls out
of the driveway. I had to stop him. I would
stop him. I'll catch him before he gets to the airport.
I back my car out of the driveway. I race
with the turnpipe, I disregard stop signing his traffic lights,
and it is long.
Speaker 1: Before I hear it.
Speaker 2: Okay, lady, to mess your license and.
Speaker 3: Registration, Officer, I don't have time.
Speaker 2: You'll just have to make the time. Who are you
trying to kill?
Speaker 3: I have to save my husband.
Speaker 2: You have to save your husband. I thought I heard
him more. Okay, let's hear this one.
Speaker 3: I have to stop my husband before he gets to
the airport. Why, because you'll be killed. Oh, here's going
to be an accident.
Speaker 2: There's gonna be an accident. Yes, how do you know?
Speaker 3: I had a dream?
Speaker 2: You what?
Speaker 3: I had a dream?
Speaker 2: Hey? What are you trying to handle?
Speaker 3: Please believe me?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 3: Look miss that's missus I, missus Morrow, and I have
to say my husband. I just cannot sit here.
Speaker 4: I'm afraid You'll just have to sit here. You're in
no condition to drive that car. Now, you just sit
there quietly, and I'm going to radio back for someone
to come.
Speaker 2: Along and help.
Speaker 3: Officer.
Speaker 4: Now, lady, you just sit there and look at that sign.
See the billboard about the new picture at the drive
in See it says endless love starring Robert Gaylord. Very
handsome guy. I'm used to think about him while I.
Speaker 3: Got to sit here stop, I floor the pedal. The
needle springs violently to the right to where it had
never been before, all the way to the right hand
edge of the gauge. No one could ever catch me,
but I had to catch Tad. The car rattles, the
whole world seems to twist and spin crazily, and then
I see the nightmare flashing of red and blue lights,
the terrible howling of the sirens, and my own voice suddenly.
Speaker 5: Rises to a scream that drowns everything out.
Speaker 3: I'm too late, it has already happened. I see his body, mangled, bloody, lifeless,
and my scream dies to a mold.
Speaker 2: A low and terrible moment.
Speaker 6: Oh, Cassie Castle, wake up, angel, wake up, coming, wake up.
Speaker 2: You're having a bad dream.
Speaker 3: A dream, a dream, Yes, it was a dream, all
a dream.
Speaker 2: Something really must have scared you.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes it was it was.
Speaker 2: Tell me about it.
Speaker 3: Oh, it was so clear, so exact. You know, sometimes
you dream and it feels so real.
Speaker 2: Well, what was he?
Speaker 3: Oh it was silly?
Speaker 2: Tell me no, why not?
Speaker 3: Because I would dearly love to forget it, and if
I talk about it, I might dream it again. And
oh so tired.
Speaker 1: You should be worn out from that dream.
Speaker 3: Ah, I just want to get back to sleep again.
Speaker 2: Dead, Yes, indeed, don already.
Speaker 3: I know you heard you leave the house this morning.
Speaker 2: You had a rough night. Thought i'd let you sleep.
Speaker 3: I hope you made yourself some breakfast.
Speaker 2: I'm in the star. You're feeling okay.
Speaker 3: Why shouldn't I be feeling okay?
Speaker 1: We had a very bad dream, seemed to take something
out of you. I was worried about you all day
at the office.
Speaker 3: Well if you was so worried, why didn't you call?
Speaker 2: Why didn't I call? To call? Or not to call?
That was a question?
Speaker 3: What question?
Speaker 2: Well? First I was tied up all day, and second
I wanted to tell you about it in person.
Speaker 3: Tell me about what.
Speaker 1: Tell you that I'm going to be named vice president
in charge of production, Ted, vice president Ted, if you please,
you mean it's going to happen.
Speaker 2: This has already happened.
Speaker 1: Sterling sent in the recommendation to mister big Wheel himself
Henderson in Chicago, vice president.
Speaker 2: Money, bonus, stock options.
Speaker 1: The whole works I have become What is known as management.
You know how people talk about they. I have now
become a they.
Speaker 3: Oh we'll have to move, won't we?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 1: Become the vice president in charge of production for International
Minerals reside in a three bedroom ranch in West Valley.
Speaker 2: No, we'll have to live up to it. I like it.
You'll like it better where you're going.
Speaker 3: When does it become official?
Speaker 2: Thursday, twelfth of March. The twelfth of March, that's the
faithful day. I'll give you a rundown.
Speaker 1: On seven am Thursday, March twelfth, I drive out to
the airport and I bought the eight o'clock to Chicago.
What did you say, I haven't said anything yet. Listen,
there will be a luncheon session of the Board of Directors,
at which time I should be named VP in charge
of production in Chicago.
Speaker 2: Well, of course, why.
Speaker 1: Why, Cassie, that's where the international headquarters of the company happened.
Speaker 2: To be ted something wrong?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Well, then something has to be wrong.
Speaker 7: What is it?
Speaker 3: I don't know what to say.
Speaker 2: Please tell me.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know how.
Speaker 2: We'll try.
Speaker 3: You know that dream I had last night, I dreamed
that it was ten days from now. The morning the
Thursday morning of March twelfth.
Speaker 2: Well, that's a coincidence.
Speaker 3: And I dreamed I tried to stop you from going
to the airport. But why because because there would be
an accident and you would be killed. That's what I dreamed.
Speaker 1: Oh, well, I hope you woke up before anything drastic occurred.
Speaker 3: No, I didn't wake up, not until I had seen
the ambulances and the emergency cruise and I saw you dead.
Speaker 2: Are you sure I was dead?
Speaker 3: Please? Don't make me talk about it. Don't make me
think about it. It was horrible. Well, forget it. Why
did I have a dream like that? Ted? Why should
I dream that that you would die in an airplane
accident on March twelfth?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: You're probably scared of me flying when you heard that
I was scheduled to go to Chicago.
Speaker 3: You're not listening. This was last night before I knew
you were going to Chicago on the twelfth.
Speaker 2: For you knew, Darling. There's an explanation for everything.
Speaker 3: Well, how do you explain this?
Speaker 1: Well, let's see if we can analyze the thing March twelfth,
What if anything is significant about that date? Does March
twelfth mean anything to you? No, March twelfth, Old course,
what is it. I know why you don't want me
to go to Chicago. Why because that's where Marcella Thornton lived.
Speaker 3: Oh, Marcella, I haven't thought about her in years?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: Was that?
Speaker 1: So you forget that Marcella and I were supposed to
be married twelve years ago on what date?
Speaker 2: March twelfth? Oh?
Speaker 3: But Ted, I knew it was over between you and Marcella.
I knew you chose Meh.
Speaker 1: But a little residue of doubt may still be lurking
in your subconscious. It was twelve years ago, the twelfth
of March. All those twelves coming up must have overwhelmed you.
Speaker 3: No, no, Ted, No, nothing inside of me brought this on.
It was as if I had been allowed to live
in the future and I had a glimpse of what
was going to happen.
Speaker 2: Oh, you don't believe that, do you.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're a sensible, rational woman. You know you
just know you can't see into the future.
Speaker 2: Now admit it.
Speaker 1: Well, look on the basis of that dream, do you
want me to cancel the trip?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 3: No, I suppose not.
Speaker 2: Why don't we forget it?
Speaker 1: Incidentally, there was a sale at Rossmeiers. I picked up
a honey of a jacket.
Speaker 3: It's about time you need new clothes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you open the package. I was thinking, I'm
wearing this to Chicago. They're a very informal group.
Speaker 3: Oh no, wait, Ted, wait before you open the package.
See if I can tell you what color it is.
It's gray with brown flecks.
Speaker 2: Well, how'd you know?
Speaker 1: You must have been spying on me the see. Oh,
it's exactly the way you described it, Ted.
Speaker 3: That jacket, that's the jacket you were wearing in my dream.
That's the jacket you were wearing on Thursday morning, the
twelfth of March.
Speaker 1: When you see into the future, you have to see
it all, all the basic details, all the fine points,
all the odds and ends.
Speaker 2: What are we dealing with here? Anyhow? Is it coincidence
or is it out and out prophecy? We always play fair.
Speaker 1: You might consider her name, for example, do you know
who Cassandra was? Well, we'll explore it all further when
I return in just a few moments.
Speaker 2: With that too, What is.
Speaker 1: The difference between the oracle at Delphi of the ancient
Greek and.
Speaker 2: Your own psychiatrist?
Speaker 1: The oracles stated that your dreams reveal your future. Your
psychiatrist will contend that your dreams illuminate your past. Albert
Einstein reconciled it too, by saying, both past and future
can exist at the same time.
Speaker 2: Is everything clear? It is to Cassie.
Speaker 1: Morrow, who had a terrible dream the other night, it's
a coincidence.
Speaker 3: I dream that you're killed at the airport. I dream
you're wearing a jacket that you hadn't bought yet, that
I'd never seen before.
Speaker 2: Now, how do you account for that? I'm scared, Cassie.
Be sensible.
Speaker 3: That's what you said to me in the dream.
Speaker 2: Be reasonable.
Speaker 1: You said that too, well, Be rational.
Speaker 3: Be sensible, be reasonable, be rational. That's exactly what you
said to me. Oh, Ted, I'm so frightened.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know what to tell you. Look, hadn't
you better seen doctor Miller.
Speaker 3: You told me to do that in the dream too.
Speaker 2: Doesn't that make sense, Dear?
Speaker 1: I don't know, all right, let me I'm trying to
think what it all means.
Speaker 2: Has to mean something.
Speaker 3: Thanks Ted, Thanks for not saying I'm being silly.
Speaker 1: Well, the fact is you are being silly. It's just
I'm being the concerned husband.
Speaker 2: Here's what I'll do. I can't promise anything.
Speaker 1: But in a roundabout diplomatic way, I'll ask Sterling if
there's any chance the meeting could be shifted a day earlier,
a day later.
Speaker 3: Oh, Ted, could you do that? Well?
Speaker 2: I don't know if I can, but I can ask.
Speaker 7: Hello, Cassie, I am what is it?
Speaker 3: Dad?
Speaker 7: Look on this thing, this dream of yours.
Speaker 2: Well, well, but I couldn't even bring it up.
Speaker 7: Sterling hit me first thing.
Speaker 2: He said, March.
Speaker 1: Twelfth is going to be a big event at the company.
They're even bringing in the European people. And I just
couldn't well, I couldn't ask.
Speaker 3: Oh, Ted, you must, honey.
Speaker 1: Everybody has bad dreams, and this is the twentieth century.
I mean, look, maybe you had better go see doctor Miller.
Speaker 3: And what will he tell me?
Speaker 7: I don't know, but somebody has to tell you something.
Speaker 2: That will make sense.
Speaker 3: How do you account for my seeing his jacket, doctor,
especially since I didn't even know he bought it? How
could I describe the color and the design?
Speaker 4: Oh, the colors, the designed, the cut flattering to your husband? Well, yes,
is it the kind of jacket you would have selected?
Speaker 2: I suppose so, Doctor but that could have explained it.
Speaker 3: The dream, It was so real, missus.
Speaker 4: Morrell, do won't you husband to be the vice president
in charge of production for International Minerals?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: What does that have to do with it?
Speaker 2: Please answer the question.
Speaker 3: We were married twelve years ago. A few months later
Ted went to work for International. We've been aiming at
that job ever since.
Speaker 4: I didn't ask you what you were aiming at. I
asked you what you wanted.
Speaker 3: I want what Ted wants?
Speaker 4: Now about what you want? Life is more than what
a person does for living. What should be on the
way to your goal? Perhaps you found a way of
life that appealed to you, friends, community, Maybe you really don't.
Speaker 2: Want to leave it.
Speaker 3: Well, what would that have to do with my dream?
Speaker 4: Everything you knew Ted was being promoted. This is how
you tried to stop him.
Speaker 3: Well, that might make sense if I knew. But you see,
I didn't know. I dreamed this dream the night before
Ted told me about the promotion.
Speaker 2: You knew you knew about the promotion.
Speaker 3: Now how could I know?
Speaker 4: Ten sames, things were coming to a head at the office.
It made him tense, nervous after twelve years of marriage.
People don't have to say things, you interpreted those signs,
neither of you had to speak.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know.
Speaker 4: What you're asking me to believe is that you were
able to see into the future.
Speaker 2: Isn't that so? Yes?
Speaker 4: Yes, that so you should realize that such a.
Speaker 2: Thing is impossible.
Speaker 3: Why why is it impossible?
Speaker 4: Because such things are not humanly Well, it just doesn't happen.
Speaker 3: You mean, no one has ever been able to foresee
a distant event?
Speaker 2: Well, I would say so, how about.
Speaker 3: These people you read about in the papers, these people who.
Speaker 4: Forget dear missus morrow. You want to indulge in crackery.
I know all about people who claim to have.
Speaker 2: Foretold the assassination of a president or the breaking out
of a war.
Speaker 4: But does anyone keep score of their predictions? How many
never happened? What is their batting average?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 3: Still, there are people who have had premonitions of what of.
Speaker 4: Some disaster, usually the death of a loved one.
Speaker 2: What about it?
Speaker 4: If you keep worrying about something constantly, one day it happens,
and it's on a court that there's not prediction.
Speaker 2: That's that's coincidence.
Speaker 3: I know, I know all the arguments are against me,
but I know I saw it all so plainly.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to tell you why you don't want him
to go.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't stand in the way of his becoming VP
in charge of production.
Speaker 4: That's something less than a ringing endorsement. And then, of
course three of Marcella.
Speaker 3: No, no, I deny that completely.
Speaker 2: Is Marcella made?
Speaker 3: I don't think so.
Speaker 2: Who is she?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 2: No, what is she doing now?
Speaker 3: She's editor of a fashion magazine in Chicago.
Speaker 2: When did you see her last?
Speaker 3: I never really met Marcella.
Speaker 2: Oh, Sanuel, you never saw her?
Speaker 3: Oh I did see her. It was a few days
ago on a TV panel show.
Speaker 2: And how did she look beautiful?
Speaker 4: So here they have Marcella beautiful, surrounded by glamor by
you have been missus housewife these past twelve years.
Speaker 2: Did ted see the show with you? Yes, but they
did say he.
Speaker 3: Said, there's Marcella as beautiful as ever.
Speaker 2: Did he discuss her after the show was over?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Did he say anything else about her? You mean all
he made was up one.
Speaker 4: Yes, but you couldn't help thinking that quietly he was comparing.
Speaker 2: The two of you.
Speaker 3: I didn't think anything of the sort.
Speaker 2: And didn't you.
Speaker 4: Think, Oh my lord, I hope he never goes to Chicago.
Speaker 3: I'm not worried about it. I know he chose me,
and we have twelve years together, and they mean something.
Speaker 4: Missus Mora, I think you must come to grips with
your insecurity.
Speaker 2: You're afraid of Marcella.
Speaker 3: All I know is I had a dream I saw my.
Speaker 4: Husband kill It's not what you saw, it's val you
saw it.
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, let's say it's nothing more than my subconscious insecurity. Okay,
But how could I dream the details, the details of
the future, the jacket.
Speaker 2: You've already accounted for the jacket.
Speaker 3: How about how about the other details, such as the
police officer. He stopped me just outside the drive in
movie at the Turnpike and he said, why don't you
look at that sign and fantasize about Robert Gaylord while
I get you some help.
Speaker 2: He said that, Well, I haven't.
Speaker 3: Been near the Turnpike in weeks. I never go to
that drive in. How would I be able to read
a billboard Endless Love starring Robert Gaylord? How would I
see that?
Speaker 2: There must be an explanation.
Speaker 3: Oh, everybody keeps saying there's an explanation, but nobody explains it.
Have you got a phone book?
Speaker 2: Yes? Right over there?
Speaker 3: Thank you, turnpikee turnpipe. Drive in here. It is two
o seven eight three oh eight. That may I yes,
of course. Everybody says be rational, be sensible. I am rational.
I am sensible. What I saw was real, and I'll
prove it driving. Can you tell me what it says
on your marquee?
Speaker 2: It says what's playing? What else would it say?
Speaker 3: Can you tell me what's playing? Please be my guest.
Speaker 7: The love I get starring Jenny Bailey.
Speaker 3: That that's what it says.
Speaker 7: That's what we got showing.
Speaker 3: I see.
Speaker 7: Hey, come on, bring your husband a boyfriend.
Speaker 2: Hey, I got a dynamite idea, bring them both.
Speaker 9: But here's it.
Speaker 3: Nothing I was wrong. It was just a dream, of course.
I mean it was just a dream, a dream like
any other dream, and it probably means nothing at all.
Speaker 2: It probably means something, but.
Speaker 3: It doesn't mean. It doesn't mean I foresaw the future.
Speaker 2: Let me to change your mind suddenly.
Speaker 3: What I was I was wrong about a significant detail
the movie, so I could be wrong about all of
it the accident too. Thank you doctor for what I
feel so much better, But I only felt better for
a few minutes the movie bothered me. I knew what
I had seen on the billboard so clearly, so plainly,
and it occurred to me I had better ask that
question again and differently. Are you the manager?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm the manager. Oh, you gotta beef already. Show
hasn't even started.
Speaker 3: Can you tell me what your billboard will read on
Thursday morning, March twelfth, nine days from now? What will
the attraction be?
Speaker 10: Oh, lady, you said the magic word attraction. We're gonna
have dynamite Robert Gaylord in Endless Lot.
Speaker 3: And the sign that faces the turnpike, well.
Speaker 10: Of course faces the turnpike. How else would people be
able to read it?
Speaker 3: Will it read Endless Love starring Robert Gaylord.
Speaker 2: Or what he wanted to read? Those are the facts,
ain't they?
Speaker 3: Yes? Yes, those are the facts. But how could I
foresee Robert Gaylord would be playing at the drive in?
Speaker 2: Because he's your favorite actor?
Speaker 3: But how would I know?
Speaker 1: A dream is a fantasy world, and you create it
and there are no real foundations for anything. You wanted
that picture to be playing there? So that's what the
billboard said.
Speaker 3: Did I also want you killed in a crash?
Speaker 2: Oh? Subconsciously. Maybe you're angry at me for something.
Speaker 3: Oh what how would I know?
Speaker 2: It's your subconscious.
Speaker 3: Ted, I'll tell you what scares me. The tone in
your voice.
Speaker 2: What about it?
Speaker 3: I never heard it before. I never heard such anger.
Speaker 2: Maybe you never made me really angry before.
Speaker 3: This is the dream, This is what I saw. Yes,
we're getting.
Speaker 2: There, getting where.
Speaker 3: I have eight days till the twelfth, and we're starting
to argue the way we'll argue that morning, angrily, bitterly.
Speaker 2: Well, just cut it out.
Speaker 3: I can't help it, Ted, I can't.
Speaker 1: You want me to refuse to go to Chicago? Is
that it only on the twelfth, Well, it's the twelfth
or nothing, all.
Speaker 3: Right, Ted, I don't want you to go.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 1: Yes, Well I can't cancel it, Cassie, I just can't.
What did doctor Miller.
Speaker 3: Say that's unimportant?
Speaker 2: What do I mean it's unimportant?
Speaker 3: Anything anyone says it's unimportant. I tell you, I know
what's going.
Speaker 2: To happen, Cassie. Cut it out.
Speaker 3: Don't talk to me like that.
Speaker 2: Ted, You've got to get a hold of yourself.
Speaker 1: You've got to face the facts facts.
Speaker 3: So far, I'm the only one who's offered any facts
that all the jacket.
Speaker 1: The movie Marquee, those are facts you created yourself, all right.
Speaker 3: But there's one fact, one basic fact I couldn't create.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's that?
Speaker 3: Isn't it that? It's a person?
Speaker 1: It's a he who I have a witness? How could
there be a witness to a dream?
Speaker 3: If I can produce that witness, will you finally believe me?
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about, but if you
can do it, I'll believe it. Who is this person
who can vouch for the authenticity of Cassie's dream? If
she says says a person, then she definitely is able
to name that person. And since we try to play
according to the rules, you know, we aren't going to
drag in anybody out of lead field. That person has
to be someone you've already met. But who I'll be
back just few moments.
Speaker 2: With Acts three, we.
Speaker 1: Deal here with the basic subject of dreams and what
they are and what are they? A kaleidoscope of what
has already happened, a journey mails from of our hopes,
fears and desires, or are the windows into the future.
Cassie Morrow never thought much about it, one way or another.
Speaker 2: But right now is all she can think about.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm listening. Who can prove you had this dream
of yours?
Speaker 3: Seven o'clock on the morning of the twelfth you storm
out of here?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: I never stormed out of this house in my life,
or you will.
Speaker 3: You will. We're getting there. We're building up to it.
Speaker 2: The proof, the guy who can prove it.
Speaker 3: I followed you in my car. I break every law
in the book.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the world's best. You never worried.
Speaker 3: No, no, please listen. A cop comes up. He pulls
me over to the side of the road.
Speaker 2: I hope he threw the book at you.
Speaker 3: Oh please listen.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's only a rehash of what you told me.
You said a cop stomped you on the way.
Speaker 3: I know, But let me tell you about him. He
was a cop I've never seen before in my life.
So let us suppose he's a real cop. What if
there really is an Officer TJ. Belden.
Speaker 2: Who is Officer TJ.
Speaker 1: Belden the cop who stopped me? You mean he introduced himself.
Speaker 3: No, I've read his name plate. He had a nameplate
on one side and a marksman's medal on the other.
Speaker 1: Oh, how many hundreds of cops have nameplates over one
pocket and marksman's medals on the other.
Speaker 3: How many cops are named TJ. Belden? How many cops
have red hair, blue eyes, and a scar on their chin?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: Hey, what is this?
Speaker 3: Your eyes take it all in. Maybe you don't think
you notice it, but your eye sees it, and you
can recall it if you try. I never saw this
cop before in my life.
Speaker 2: Well, how could you? He doesn't exist. He's a figment
of your dream. You created him like you did that billboard.
Speaker 3: I couldn't create a real, live human being. I couldn't
create an officer TJ.
Speaker 1: Belden who says he's any more real than the billboard?
Speaker 3: Why don't we find out?
Speaker 1: How?
Speaker 2: As ask whom?
Speaker 3: Ask the precinct? Oh?
Speaker 2: Why, I'm not going to make a fool of myself.
Speaker 3: You're afraid to face it. I'll do it for you.
Speaker 8: Ted, Yes, ma'am, we patrol a termpike between here and
the airport.
Speaker 3: Sergeant, would you have an officer Belden? A TJ. Belden?
Speaker 8: What he asked, ma'am? Well, I do you wish to
register a complain?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: No, no, no, not at all. I just want to.
Speaker 8: Know, lady, the personnel of any precinct is a matter
of record. I couldn't keep it from here. I'm not
saying if it came to it, you could have a
lawyer compel the department.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I only want to know if an
officer named TJ. Belden, we'll be patrolling the turnpike on
the morning of the twelfth.
Speaker 2: Uh. Look, ma'am.
Speaker 8: If we have no officer Belden, I don't know what
a man you might go to Central Headquarters downtown.
Speaker 3: I see, thank you. It makes me feel wonderful to
hear that thank you again. Now, finally the thing could
be laid to rest. If a dream is to be
more than a fantasy, then all the details must be real.
And if I had fantasized an officer TJ. Belden, then
I could have fantasized the rest.
Speaker 7: And I was feeling.
Speaker 3: Wonderful as I walked out the door. And then I
saw him coming in, a tall, reddish haired cop with
blue eyes, a scar on his chin, a marksman's medal
over his right shirt pocket, and a nameplate over the
left which read TJ. Belden. I thought my heart would stop.
I stood by the doorway. I watched him approach the desk.
Speaker 2: Uh Patrolman TJ. Beldon, Sergeant.
Speaker 4: I'm being transferred on the twelfth year by papers H.
Speaker 2: Weld Where have I heard that name before? Oh?
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, you're just a minute ago some dame was
asking for you.
Speaker 2: Did you ask him for me? How don't you know
I was coming here?
Speaker 3: He's exactly the way I described him now, Ted, What
do you say?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: I say, there has to be some kind of explanation totally.
You don't sound so confident like Cassie. What am I
going to do?
Speaker 3: Don't go?
Speaker 2: Then, I'm through. It's the end of the job.
Speaker 3: The job isn't for you in your heart. You don't
feel you really want it. It'll only make you us miserable.
Speaker 2: You would foresee all this too, don't you don't you?
Speaker 3: Ted? Oh? Ted? Sometimes we are allowed a glimpse into
the future by whom I don't know. I only know
what I saw, Ted. The signs are there, all the
signs I did see. Officer TJ. Belden.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't get around that. Well, okay,
you win.
Speaker 2: I won't go.
Speaker 3: Don't say I win? We win? Hi, just in time
for dinner steak. Yeah, oh you sound low a drink?
Speaker 2: No, Well, what.
Speaker 3: Happened after you told them you couldn't make it on
the twelfth? I bet all your fears were groundless. They
can't afford to lose a good man for a trivial reason.
What did they say when you told I didn't tell
them you didn't. But I thought you'd agreed not to
go to Chicago.
Speaker 2: Yes I did. I did because you scared me.
Speaker 3: All I told you was the truth.
Speaker 1: You scared me with Officer Belden, after all, how could
you conjure him up out of nothing?
Speaker 3: I never saw him before in my life.
Speaker 1: Well that's true, and it wasn't a dream. Then it
was truly a prophecy. If it's true, If you never
saw him before, I never did.
Speaker 2: But it isn't true.
Speaker 1: You did see Officer Beldon before, that's impossible.
Speaker 2: Then you brought him back into a dream.
Speaker 1: But I tell you, five years ago you were ticketed
for driving through a stop sign.
Speaker 3: I don't remember.
Speaker 1: Look this thing about Belden. It bothered me and bothered me.
Speaker 2: Why not. My whole future was at stake. So I
didn't go to the office.
Speaker 1: I drove around thinking just thinking, then, I remember the
traffic ticket? Would you buy any chance remember the cop
who wrote the ticket?
Speaker 3: But how could I remember a coup who gave me
a ticket five years ago?
Speaker 1: So I went down to the Central Traffic Bureau and
I went through the old records, and I found the ticket.
And you know who the arresting officer was? None other
than TJ. Beldon Thomas Joseph happens to be his full name.
Speaker 3: Oh, but how could I remember the face of an
officer who wrote me a ticket a long time ago?
Speaker 1: You've already asked that question, and it doesn't matter. He's
part of your subconscious mind, and so you created him
for your dream. You would have me jeopardize my entire
career over a silly dream.
Speaker 3: It's not a silly dream.
Speaker 1: I've humored you long enough, and I don't want to
hear one more word about it.
Speaker 3: The days passed and we hardly spoke because what was
there to speak about. And then it was the morning
of the twelfth, the morning I had dreamed about twelve
days before, and suddenly it was the dream come to life.
The words exploded between.
Speaker 2: Us, be sensible, be reasonable, be rational?
Speaker 1: What the damn spilled coffee all over my new jacket,
to the jacket.
Speaker 3: How could I have known about the jacket, ted the jacket,
the cop the movie sign. How could I have known?
Speaker 2: Look, you won't face the truth.
Speaker 3: Keep down in your heart.
Speaker 2: You don't want me to go to Chicago. You're afraid
of Marcella. You don't want me to take the job.
Speaker 3: Go, but go tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I'm going today, And that's all there is to it.
Speaker 3: I'm living through it again, but this time I'm awake,
wide awake. I'm not dreaming. I know I have to
stop him, stop him somehow before he gets to the airport,
before he gets on that plane, before that plane takes off.
Speaker 7: In the dream, I was too late.
Speaker 3: But this time I'll go faster.
Speaker 2: Okay, lady, your license and registration? Now, who you trying
to kill?
Speaker 3: I have to save my husband.
Speaker 2: I thought I heard them all. Let's hear this one.
Speaker 3: My husband is going to be killed. There's going to
be an accident.
Speaker 2: How do you know?
Speaker 3: I had a dream.
Speaker 2: You're in no condition to drive that car.
Speaker 4: And I'll sit there while I radio back, look at
the billboard Endless Love starring Robert Gayla.
Speaker 2: I think about him.
Speaker 3: I can't sit here, I won't hey where in the shirt.
Once again, I could see him in the rear view mirror.
I could see him get into his cruiser and start
out after me, but no one could catch me. The
whole world seemed to twist and spin crazily, and just
up ahead was the blue sedan with a license plate
UL fifty eight, Ted's car. I hug the horn. I
knew he was looking through a rear view mirror, but
he refused to stop. He was trying to escape from me.
I pushed down harder on the pedal, and this phenometer
needle shut violently over to the right, all the way
to the extreme right hand side of the gage, to
where it had never been before. And suddenly I heard.
Speaker 5: It, the terrible sound of the crash.
Speaker 3: And for a while I didn't know anything. And then
suddenly all around me I heard sirens. I could see
the flashing lights, red and blue. I had been too late.
The plane had taken off.
Speaker 2: Ted was dead.
Speaker 3: Then I saw familiar faith, the helmet, the red hair,
the blue eyes, the name plate ten J. Belden, and
I could hear his voice.
Speaker 4: I think this woman's alive. Get the ambulance over here. Oh,
this is a bad one, sage. She rear ended him
at over one hundred miles an hour air.
Speaker 2: Poor day's gone.
Speaker 8: According to his wality, he's a mister Ted Morrow. Does
she have anything on her person?
Speaker 2: And here's her license. That's funny.
Speaker 8: Her name is Morrow too, Cassandra Morrow, same address.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, she said she was trying to stop him,
stop him from what stop him from getting killed?
Speaker 2: Hey, this is the name. Wish to have it, the
one who was asking about you, How do you figure?
It beats me? Sure beats me, It sure beats me.
That's how we dismiss.
Speaker 1: So many things in this world, so many things we
don't understand. You can't explain how many times do we
stand without knowing?
Speaker 2: At the edge of quicksand.
Speaker 1: Near the edge of the volcano, within the reach of
the jaws of.
Speaker 2: The shark, or the bangs the snake.
Speaker 1: How many things are hidden and yet just beneath the surface.
I shall only be hidden for a few moments, and
then I shall return.
