Most of the stations aired two episodes each week, usually on the weekends and many times back to back.Many of the stories are based on Rod Serling's scripts from the original Twilight Zone series, and are slightly expanded and updated to reflect contemporary technology and trends and the lack of a visual component. In addition to adapting all of the original episodes aired on the TV series, the radio series has also adapted some Twilight Zone TV scripts which were never produced, scripts from other Serling TV productions, and new stories written especially for the radio series.
Taking Serling's role as narrator is Stacy Keach. Different Hollywood actors, such as Blair Underwood and Jim Caviezel, take the lead role in each radio drama. In addition, several stars who appeared on the original TV series, such as H.M. Wynant, Orson Bean and Morgan Brittany, appear, although purposely not in the roles they originated on television. The series features a full cast, music and sound effects and is produced in the flavor of classic radio dramas but using today's technology.
In addition to being an homage to the original Twilight Zone TV series, the radio dramas pay tribute to the era of classic radio drama, including allusions to radio dramas such as Gunsmoke, the presence of radio legend Stan Freberg in many episodes, and the sons (Stacy Keach, Ed Begley Jr.) of radio drama personalities Stacy Keach Sr. and Ed Begley as stars in the series.

personal invasion, the complete and utterdisregard for boundaries for one's private space.
You folks have a list of whatwas taken. Oh, we wouldn't know
where to begin. So many things. Uh, a Queen Anne chest.
What was in it? I don'tknow. We could never get it open.

eight. Let me see three paintingsin frame early Picasso's h that right?

(02:46):
consequence. Don't forget the other trayof rings, deer, Remember the Native
American baskets and the camera one camera, a very special camera, one of
a kind. Make well, itdidn't have a name on it. We
never could make it out. Foreignlettering, indecipherable, probably ancient. Never
saw one like it before. Itwas here when we bought the shop.

years old. Okay, let's see. We got here now, let's see

Navy surplus tableware, plus a chessworth maybe twenty five dollars. Tops.

thinks a Picasso is a foreign sportscar. Two teakwood handcoved cigarette cases.
All right, knock it off,knock it off. Here's something they forgot
to put in the paper. Acamera, big deal. Well it looks
(04:39):
like an antique. When I wasa kid, you could have bought this
in a five and dime, Butnow I get it as part of a
heist. Perfect. The whole horseworth maybe fifty bucks. A fence will
give us ten If we're lucky,I could have shot pulled for half an
hour and made more. Come on, Chester, you want to take my

an insurance claim, perhaps a threeinch box. On page twelve of the
evening paper. There's just one smallitem to be added to the list of
loot A camera, a most unimposingaddition to the flotsam and jetsam that came
with it. Hardly worth mentioning,really, because cameras are cameras, some
(05:41):
expensive, some available at the cornerdrug store. But this camera, this
one is unusual because in just amoment, will watch as it injects itself
into the destinies of three people forit happens to be a fact that the
pictures it takes can only be developedin the Twilight Zone. And now back
(06:06):
to the Twilight Zone with a mostunusual camera starring Mike Starr with Stacy Keach
as your narrator. Please ches totake my picture. Look, it's crummy

(09:33):
camera strictly for lefts. What doyou mean? You know, like a
Coney Island. Remember it looks likeyou're wearing a costume or something. I
don't think so. Sure inside theygot these ready made pictures already developed.
But the negatives have already got apicture on them. See, the only
thing this takes is to face.But we ain't in Coney Island, you
(09:54):
know, like a carnival when you'reposing front of those crazy cardboard things.
You put your head on top ofthe car out fat lady sailor cowboy driving
a car, you name it,and it looks real. That's what this
thing is. Not bad, that'skind of clever. You sure, sure,

(10:16):
cares? Stuff it down a garbageshoot for all I care something these phony
ming flower pots Chester? What isit there for? Now? We gotta
clean it up. We don't leaveit for room service. We're paying enough.
There's one thing we didn't open yet. Yeah, that little chest over
there in the corner. Did itcome with a key? No, you'll
(10:37):
have to open it in your owninivitable style. There ain't a luck ever
made. I can't jimmy anybody evertell you at a lousy disposition. If
I have a lousy disposition, it'sbecause I'm married to a Nickel and diime
heister who can't tell a real diamondfrom a baseball diamond, baby doll.
This suite is coursing an arm ina lake. Delive it and paid for
(10:58):
by Missus Diedrich's sun Chester from profitscollected during the slower years when you weren't
even in the picture. So happensthat I need you like I need a
three time conviction. Well, aren'tyou the clever one. Let's see what's
inside? Just a look. I'mlooking, but I don't believe it.
The most beautiful fur coat I've eversaw full length too. M So we
(11:22):
scored something, after all, Wesure did. And don't start giving me
any of your cheapestazz about taking thisto a fence. I would dream of
it. Don't argue with me either. This is for little old Paula.
Look at these like stripes, differentcolors are mush together. How do they
do that? I think it's calledember autumn haze, like the one in
(11:46):
the picture, right, exactly likethe one in the picture. Come back
to bed in a minute. It'sthe middle of the night, sure is,
(12:07):
and I can't sleep. What areyou doing by the window? Get
in some fresh air? Are youstill worried about the camera? Shut up?
Yeah you are. You're playing withit, aren't you. What do
you care? Leave the light off. It's hot in here. It's not
hot. We got air conditioning.What's it to you? You can't just
(12:28):
let it go by, can you? You want me to forget about it?
Is that? It? So?It's a crazy camera. So it
takes dopey pictures of things that aren'treally there. That's not the point.
Oh yeah, what is the point? Sure, it takes dopey pictures,
pictures like like, things that haven'thappened yet. But do happen? That's
the point. So what do wedo? Chat one nausy picture and you
(12:48):
get insomnia? It's a camera,that's all here, I'll show you.
Did you just take a picture?There? See any lightning? What did
you take a picture of? It? Does? Didn't? Mada? The
wall? The door? All right? Now drop it? Why don't you
let it alone? Forget about it? How can I forget about it?
This thing comes from from witches,maybe your sorcereers. Look at the writing
(13:15):
on it. It could be loadedwith black magic or something. Then what
you loaded with? Do you seeanything? Where is the man with the
horns who comes in with a bargainfor your soul? He's supposed to show
up anytime now, right, buthe's not here? Is he? Listen
to me? It's a screwy camera. Period. Let's see how this one
came out. Well, here youtell me. It's my brother Woodward standing
(13:43):
by the door. That's who itis. It's that cheap, no good
brother he is. But that's crazy. He's in jail seven years for breaking
and entering and that was only ayear ago, so it's impossible. So
was the fur coat right, Paula? Oh no, no, Chester.
It's throwing us a curve. Maybeit's somebody who looks like Woodward Chester.
(14:05):
I'm scared, feel my heart.I'm palpitating, a little palpitating. Never
hurt nobody, and I wants tobe scared about. The thing is obviously
gone tilt or something. Are yousure sure? I'm sure Woodod's not here?
What would can't possibly be here?Wood would won't be here. Woodwood
(14:26):
is serving time. He's nine hundredmiles away in a cell block. And
I don't care what that crazy camerashows us. Who's ever in that picture?
Ain't Woodward? What's that sh somebody'strying to jimmy the door? Go
see please Chester, but be careful? What Wood? Hi? Paula,
(14:50):
Hello Chester. I didn't want towake anybody, so I just, you
know, use the old lock pickeron the door. Hope you folks don't
mind? Mind? Why would Imind? But you are in jail,
aren't you. I broke out Meand another guy hid in the laundry truck.
(15:11):
Nice, huh. I thought maybeI could stay with you for a
few days if you really don't mind, You don't do you? I was
thinking maybe if I was around youtwo wouldn't fight so much. You're still
all the time fighting. Hey,what you got in your hand? There?
(15:31):
A picture? Yeah? Let mesee? Well will you look at
that? Yep? There I amstanding right by the door where I'm just
what I'm wearing now too, sameclothes. Ain't signs wonderful? Do you
know what you're saying? Yeah?I do. I think it's great to
be able to get a picture ofWait a minute, wait, um minute,
(15:58):
wait a minute. Minute. Yeah, if I was outside the door,
ah, and you was in here, that's right, but you already
have this picture of me right standingright here inside the door. Yeah,
and then like, how come sleep? Well Woodward, thanks for letting me
(16:36):
use the couch. Think nothing ofit. A growing boy needs his rest.
What are we going to do toah Chester. I don't know yet,
but I got a feeling it's gonnahave something to do with that camera.
I still don't see how we canuse it, do I far as
I can see, it's strictly forlaughs. Well, maybe we could sell
it for some big bucks. Youknow, there's rich people might want something
like that for what. Well too, two, I don't know. Find
(17:03):
out who's coming in the front doorof their office like a hitting camera.
See who's robbing a blind you inadvance? Try selling them an item like
that. They throw you out onyour duff or some company. They could
take it apart and see how itworks and make new ones. Wait,
you'd never get in the door.They'd say you were off your rocker,
burn you at the steak one orthe other. What do you think would
(17:26):
would good? Call Paula, askthe intellectual in the crowd. We could
we could sell like tickets? Yeah, that's it. Set up a place
like a stand somewhere to take pictureslook at a connie? Right? Or
(17:47):
maybe maybe we could you know,like that? Thank you Einstein. Now
look, I'm gonna lay it onthe line. What a week? What
do you mean? I asked thequestion, what are we? What are
we? Chet? You mean us? Well, we're we're people, I
guess, sure, sure, Butwhat kind of people with three minor league
(18:11):
heisters, griptis con artists? AmI right? Am I wrong? Yeah?
That's it. Well, now wefinally got something here that maybe might
do good for somebody else, Likewho science? Science could use something like
this for what for people? Youloghead? We got something here for humanity?
Who human beings, the world.I'm not so sure we shouldn't just
(18:34):
give this to humanity and do somethinggood for the first time in our rotten
lives. You got a leak inyour attic? What's humanity ever done for
us? Sure, Paula, Sure, that's what I mean. Just what
you said? What I say,that's the way we are. Everything for
us, not for anybody else.Yeah, we're family, little petty,
(18:56):

(28:47):
Is there any other way to getmore film? Oh? We've only had
it for a little while. Andwhat did you say? Yeah? What
did you say about ten pictures?The inscription on the outside it says he's
all appropriate there. That means tento an owner. I presume that means
you may only take ten. It'sso odd. The lettering is definitely French,
(29:11):
but I've never seen a French cameralike that. As a matter of
fact, thanks my all right?How many pictures have we taken? There
was one Appollar, then one aWoodward. Six We bet six races.
That means we've taken eight. We'vetaken eight pictures Chester, there's only two
long ten? But how do weknow what that means? Some frog waite
(29:33):
that tells us it means ten,So right away we think we only got
two pictures left. How does heknow what it means? I bet you
we could take as many pictures aswe want. But we don't know Chester.
We can't take any chances. No, we can't. You know what
we should do. We should sellit your cage. This don't even belong
to you. You're strictly for charity, buddy. Now what we should do
(29:57):
with it is go back to thetrack and bet toom races with it.
Are you both crazy? What youdo with it is hang on to it,

you why she's screaming. She's screamingbecause somebody's trying to do something to a
loving husband, some stupid x calmonan idiotic idea about selling the camera that

except this super caseful of money.How thoughtful of you, Chester, Well,
don't worry about me. How muddledthrough? Somehow we have to learn
(32:12):
to live with tragedy. Poor Chester, then poor Woodward. My heart is

courtyard below. Sure it is.I just took it, and if you

than two? Then who else isdown there? What's your step madam?
(35:13):
The broken glass? You would trapand yourself? Yes, there are more

You're traveling through another dimension, adimension not only of sight and sound,
but of mind, a journey intoa wondrous land whose boundaries are that of
imagination. That's the signpost up ahead, your next stop, the Twilight Zone
(00:53):
see address Yeap twenty seven, nineteenye old Curiosity Shop. This is it,
Oh, officers, I'm so gladyou're here. You the want to
call ma'am? That would be myhusband Jensen. The detectives are here.
How do you do, mister Brown? What seems to be the problem?
Appalling? Absolutely appalling. They brokein through the storeroom. That was the
(01:17):
first thing we saw this morning,the back door off its hinges. My
husband almost had a heart attack.All right, take it easy. Was
anything missing? A number of items? I should say, the sense of
violation. Our entire stock will haveto be reinventory for the insurance. You
know quite a number of items area large number. Well, then I
guess we'll have to take some pictures. Desra prince. I consider it a
(01:38):
personal invasion, the complete and utterdisregard for boundaries for one's private space.
You folks have a list of whatwas taken. Oh, we wouldn't know
where to begin. So many things. Uh, a Queen Anne chest.
What was in it? I don'tknow. We could never get it open.
I was going to have a keymade. Hard to say. What
could have been in it? Almostanything? Jules family heirlooms. We bought
(02:00):
it as is at an estate sale. What else? A Louis the fourteenth
washstand Our pride and enjoy. Twoantique children's chairs, five vases, six
Ming dynasty, two handcarved teakwood cigarettecases with platforms. Prizemand value one hundred
dollars he means two hundred. Atray of rings, three sapphires, three
(02:23):
rubies, three emeralds, all genuine. Well, the rubies are actually all
genuine. And there was a nineteenthcentury silver service for eight I mean twelve,
isn't that right? Jensen and adining room chair made in seventeen seventy
eight. Let me see three paintingsin frame early Picasso's h that right?
What about the South that was inthe window? Oh, nothing of real
(02:46):
consequence. Don't forget the other trayof rings, deer, Remember the Native
American baskets and the camera one camera, a very special camera, one of
a kind. Make well, itdidn't have a name on it. We
never could make it out. Foreignlettering, indecipherable, probably ancient. Never
saw one like it before. Itwas here when we bought the shop.
(03:07):
It was imported, very rare,very very rare, at least one hundred
years old. Okay, let's see. We got here now, let's see
see. Okay. Six vases,five ceramics, a Native American basket,
jewry, stray of rings, allpaste, six vases of the Ming dynasty.
(03:29):
I don't know what dynasty they're from, but it einight Mings. They're
from a rummage sale and it worked. A couple of shocks of peace.
Chester. Will you pipe down andlet me read the article blossomy playing no
good? Lossoy is what it is. That's nothing but a list for their
insurance company. Why dook police?There aize that the thieves broken sometime during
the night. Mister and missus JensenT. Brown, the proprietors of the
(03:53):
antique shop, listed the following additionalitems as among the goods stolen. A
Lewis the four fourteenth candelabra, aphony candlestick holder for Liiberacchi, two antique
children's chairs, two thrift shop chairsfor midgets, and a set of US
Navy surplus tableware, plus a chessworth maybe twenty five dollars. Tops.
(04:15):
Hey, listen to this. Thepaper says there's three oil paintings by Picasso.
Yeah, three posters in dime storeframes. The guy who painted him
thinks a Picasso is a foreign sportscar. Two teakwood handcoved cigarette cases.
All right, knock it off,knock it off. Here's something they forgot
to put in the paper. Acamera, big deal. Well it looks
(04:39):
like an antique. When I wasa kid, you could have bought this
in a five and dime, Butnow I get it as part of a
heist. Perfect. The whole horseworth maybe fifty bucks. A fence will
give us ten If we're lucky,I could have shot pulled for half an
hour and made more. Come on, Chester, you want to take my
pic chair. You think that thingworks, well, let's give it a
try. Even if there's fil minute, it'd be so old by now they
(05:01):
what do you got to lose?H? Please please? Scene of the
crime a hotel suite that, inthis instance serves as a den of thieves.
The aftermath of a rather minor eventto be noted on a police blotter
(05:21):
an insurance claim, perhaps a threeinch box. On page twelve of the
evening paper. There's just one smallitem to be added to the list of
loot A camera, a most unimposingaddition to the flotsam and jetsam that came
with it. Hardly worth mentioning,really, because cameras are cameras, some
(05:41):
expensive, some available at the cornerdrug store. But this camera, this
one is unusual because in just amoment, will watch as it injects itself
into the destinies of three people forit happens to be a fact that the
pictures it takes can only be developedin the Twilight Zone. And now back
(06:06):
to the Twilight Zone with a mostunusual camera starring Mike Starr with Stacy Keach
as your narrator. Please ches totake my picture. Look, it's crummy
thing, far and right and allover it. No place to open it
up? Where do you put thefilm in? Maybe it's already gap film
(06:27):
in it? Yeah, sure,from the Ming Dynasty, and you think
it's still good? Come on,see you look through the thing on the
top here this supposed to be thebutton here? Wait, let me pose
nice hold it, baby, saycheese, get up perfect fits right in
everything else for nothing. So weget a camera that's for nothing. You
and your curio shops, My curioshops. You case the place you fingered
(06:53):
it. You did all the planning. Oh, listen to miss culture over
there, the patron of the arts. Never mind hawksh she says, No,
let's go up in life. Let'sknock off a curio shop, because
curio shops have nothing but objects ofart worth a fortune. And who touted
me? The art lover over there? Two weeks of planning, a whole
night on the job, and whatdo we have, Paula? Four hundred
(07:15):
pounds up junk? Yeah? Roomservice? Wait a minute, room service?
Huh, I didn't wander. Noroom service, it's a law.

Oh, don chester, I calledfor room service. Okay, you did
to celebrate our newfound wealth. Wellyou order go breakfast for two with all
(07:39):
the trimmings. How are we gonnapay for it? Paula, this room
is costing me a fortune. Comingjust leave it outside the door, we
monsieur very well, I'm not evenhungry. How can I eat at a
time like this, maybe a littlecoffee is on. Look? Chester,

don't know. Picture came up fine, just fine? But isn't that nice?
You take good pictures? Chester?Well? There I am standing by
the window. Did you get agood look at this? And so clear?
No flash or anything? And lookhow clear it is? Wait a
minute, wait a minute, letme think. What's the matter with you?
(08:22):
What's the matter with me? Paula? Go over to the mirror.
What go ahead? Now look inthe mirror. You're missing a couple of
buttons on your shirt. Go on, now, look we look nice together.

Will you look? So? What'sto see? What you're wearing?
You like my nightgown? Chat?I got it special for you. I
(08:46):
like the way it sort of clingsto my body. What do you think?
Right right now? Look at thepicture? So there I am standing
by the window wearing a a whata fur coat? Yeah? A fur
coat which you don't have? Humlooks like mink one of those Ember autumn
(09:09):
haze models. Real pricey could besable, don't think so? That's a
mink all right? What am Idoing wearing a fur coat? I wasn't
wearing a fur coat when you tookthe picture, was I? Of course
you weren't. I don't have thatkind of money. I don't even own
a fur coat, Jester, Whatis going on? I got it,
I got it out. What it'sa gig, A gag, A gig
(09:33):
camera strictly for lefts. What doyou mean? You know, like a
Coney Island. Remember it looks likeyou're wearing a costume or something. I
don't think so. Sure inside theygot these ready made pictures already developed.
But the negatives have already got apicture on them. See, the only
thing this takes is to face.But we ain't in Coney Island, you
(09:54):
know, like a carnival when you'reposing front of those crazy cardboard things.
You put your head on top ofthe car out fat lady sailor cowboy driving
a car, you name it,and it looks real. That's what this
thing is. Not bad, that'skind of clever. You sure, sure,
I'm sure. Well you might aswell clear up the rest of us
junk, you say, So whatare we gonna do with it? Who
(10:16):
cares? Stuff it down a garbageshoot for all I care something these phony
ming flower pots Chester? What isit there for? Now? We gotta
clean it up. We don't leaveit for room service. We're paying enough.
There's one thing we didn't open yet. Yeah, that little chest over
there in the corner. Did itcome with a key? No, you'll
(10:37):
have to open it in your owninivitable style. There ain't a luck ever
made. I can't jimmy anybody evertell you at a lousy disposition. If
I have a lousy disposition, it'sbecause I'm married to a Nickel and diime
heister who can't tell a real diamondfrom a baseball diamond, baby doll.
This suite is coursing an arm ina lake. Delive it and paid for
(10:58):
by Missus Diedrich's sun Chester from profitscollected during the slower years when you weren't
even in the picture. So happensthat I need you like I need a
three time conviction. Well, aren'tyou the clever one. Let's see what's
inside? Just a look. I'mlooking, but I don't believe it.
The most beautiful fur coat I've eversaw full length too. M So we
(11:22):
scored something, after all, Wesure did. And don't start giving me
any of your cheapestazz about taking thisto a fence. I would dream of
it. Don't argue with me either. This is for little old Paula.
Look at these like stripes, differentcolors are mush together. How do they
do that? I think it's calledember autumn haze, like the one in
(11:46):
the picture, right, exactly likethe one in the picture. Come back
to bed in a minute. It'sthe middle of the night, sure is,
(12:07):
and I can't sleep. What areyou doing by the window? Get
in some fresh air? Are youstill worried about the camera? Shut up?
Yeah you are. You're playing withit, aren't you. What do
you care? Leave the light off. It's hot in here. It's not
hot. We got air conditioning.What's it to you? You can't just
(12:28):
let it go by, can you? You want me to forget about it?
Is that? It? So?It's a crazy camera. So it
takes dopey pictures of things that aren'treally there. That's not the point.
Oh yeah, what is the point? Sure, it takes dopey pictures,
pictures like like, things that haven'thappened yet. But do happen? That's
the point. So what do wedo? Chat one nausy picture and you
(12:48):
get insomnia? It's a camera,that's all here, I'll show you.
Did you just take a picture?There? See any lightning? What did
you take a picture of? It? Does? Didn't? Mada? The
wall? The door? All right? Now drop it? Why don't you
let it alone? Forget about it? How can I forget about it?
This thing comes from from witches,maybe your sorcereers. Look at the writing
(13:15):
on it. It could be loadedwith black magic or something. Then what
you loaded with? Do you seeanything? Where is the man with the
horns who comes in with a bargainfor your soul? He's supposed to show
up anytime now, right, buthe's not here? Is he? Listen
to me? It's a screwy camera. Period. Let's see how this one
came out. Well, here youtell me. It's my brother Woodward standing
(13:43):
by the door. That's who itis. It's that cheap, no good
brother he is. But that's crazy. He's in jail seven years for breaking
and entering and that was only ayear ago, so it's impossible. So
was the fur coat right, Paula? Oh no, no, Chester.
It's throwing us a curve. Maybeit's somebody who looks like Woodward Chester.
(14:05):
I'm scared, feel my heart.I'm palpitating, a little palpitating. Never
hurt nobody, and I wants tobe scared about. The thing is obviously
gone tilt or something. Are yousure sure? I'm sure Woodod's not here?
What would can't possibly be here?Wood would won't be here. Woodwood
(14:26):
is serving time. He's nine hundredmiles away in a cell block. And
I don't care what that crazy camerashows us. Who's ever in that picture?
Ain't Woodward? What's that sh somebody'strying to jimmy the door? Go
see please Chester, but be careful? What Wood? Hi? Paula,
(14:50):
Hello Chester. I didn't want towake anybody, so I just, you
know, use the old lock pickeron the door. Hope you folks don't
mind? Mind? Why would Imind? But you are in jail,
aren't you. I broke out Meand another guy hid in the laundry truck.
(15:11):
Nice, huh. I thought maybeI could stay with you for a
few days if you really don't mind, You don't do you? I was
thinking maybe if I was around youtwo wouldn't fight so much. You're still
all the time fighting. Hey,what you got in your hand? There?
(15:31):
A picture? Yeah? Let mesee? Well will you look at
that? Yep? There I amstanding right by the door where I'm just
what I'm wearing now too, sameclothes. Ain't signs wonderful? Do you
know what you're saying? Yeah?I do. I think it's great to
be able to get a picture ofWait a minute, wait, um minute,
(15:58):
wait a minute. Minute. Yeah, if I was outside the door,
ah, and you was in here, that's right, but you already
have this picture of me right standingright here inside the door. Yeah,
and then like, how come sleep? Well Woodward, thanks for letting me
(16:36):
use the couch. Think nothing ofit. A growing boy needs his rest.
What are we going to do toah Chester. I don't know yet,
but I got a feeling it's gonnahave something to do with that camera.
I still don't see how we canuse it, do I far as
I can see, it's strictly forlaughs. Well, maybe we could sell
it for some big bucks. Youknow, there's rich people might want something
like that for what. Well too, two, I don't know. Find
(17:03):
out who's coming in the front doorof their office like a hitting camera.
See who's robbing a blind you inadvance? Try selling them an item like
that. They throw you out onyour duff or some company. They could
take it apart and see how itworks and make new ones. Wait,
you'd never get in the door.They'd say you were off your rocker,
burn you at the steak one orthe other. What do you think would
(17:26):
would good? Call Paula, askthe intellectual in the crowd. We could
we could sell like tickets? Yeah, that's it. Set up a place
like a stand somewhere to take pictureslook at a connie? Right? Or
(17:47):
maybe maybe we could you know,like that? Thank you Einstein. Now
look, I'm gonna lay it onthe line. What a week? What
do you mean? I asked thequestion, what are we? What are
we? Chet? You mean us? Well, we're we're people, I
guess, sure, sure, Butwhat kind of people with three minor league
(18:11):
heisters, griptis con artists? AmI right? Am I wrong? Yeah?
That's it. Well, now wefinally got something here that maybe might
do good for somebody else, Likewho science? Science could use something like
this for what for people? Youloghead? We got something here for humanity?
Who human beings, the world.I'm not so sure we shouldn't just
(18:34):
give this to humanity and do somethinggood for the first time in our rotten
lives. You got a leak inyour attic? What's humanity ever done for
us? Sure, Paula, Sure, that's what I mean. Just what
you said? What I say,that's the way we are. Everything for
us, not for anybody else.Yeah, we're family, little petty,
(18:56):
selfish, mean that's us. Well, I've risen above all that. Now
I say, let's give this tothe world. Here, world a gift
from Chester Didrich and his wife andme too, chat don't forget me?
Yeah yeah, yeah and Woodwold.So here's a gift for humanity. A

Didrich and his wife and his brotherin law. How do we Liward do
me a favor? Pretrion knows?Huh? Why did you go watch TV?
Isn't this something you want to watchto occupy that brain? News?
