I told you, mister, my old man don't like salesman.

Thank you, Thank you both very much. Ye, No, I
think I think I'll just step try the next block over.
Oh callahan, you heard the man.
Speaker 10 (04:24):
He says he's not gonna pay. So that's that you
want me to pay on a bum call?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Where I come from? A BET's a bet.
Speaker 10 (04:31):
You saw the play the umpire's blund.
Speaker 11 (04:33):
Look, you shouldn't have took the bets. I set the
odds and you took him. All I want is what's
coming to me?
Speaker 9 (04:40):
Ah.
Speaker 12 (04:40):
Hello, mister Dingle, the usual, oh quite wit, mister Oe O'Toole,
just allow me to sit here and collect.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
My thoughts.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Uniquely American institution known as the neighborhood Bar. First up
is mister Anthony O'Toole, proprietor who waters his drinks like geraniums,
but who stands four square for peace and quiet and
booths for ladies. Then mister Joseph Callahan, an unregistered bookie
whose entire life is any sporting event with two sides
(05:17):
and a set of odds. His idea of a summit
meeting is any dialogue between a catcher and a pitcher
with more than one man on base. And the citizen
who wants his payoff is every anonymous better who ever
dropped rent money on a horse race, a prize fight,
or a floating crap game, and who took out his
frustrations and his insolvency on any vulnerable fellow barstool companion
(05:40):
within arms and fists reach. And mister Luther Dingle, a
vacuum cleaner salesman whose volume of business is roughly that
of a valet at a hobo convention. He is a
consummate failure at almost everything. But soon two visitors from
outer space will arrive on the scene and alter the
destiny of Luther Dingle by leaving him a legacy. In
(06:03):
just a moment, a sad faced punching bag wholl missed
even the caboose of life's gravy train will take a
short constitutional into that most unpredictable region, the one we
refer to as the twilight Zone.
Speaker 13 (06:34):
And now the Twilight Zone and our story, Mister Dingle
The Strong starring Tim Kazarinski with Stacy Keach as your narrator.
Speaker 10 (06:45):
Don't give me that Callahan, I've told you before. I
don't pay off on a bum call.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Three umpires called him out. I called him out.
Speaker 11 (06:53):
Eleven thousand fans called him out. Final score Pittsburgh three Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Nothing.
Speaker 11 (06:59):
You and me got an even bet. I got the Pirates,
hence you.
Speaker 10 (07:03):
Owe me five buck. I know a bum call when
I see one. That ball was foul when it hit it.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
It don't matter what you think you saw. So instead
of an out it was.
Speaker 14 (07:13):
A foul ball, who's to say you wouldn't have got
on base, so that after the single he would have
scored a run. And like that, your dreamman Furthermore, Callahan,
you're a low down, cheating insult to American bookingdom.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
I'm gonna give you five seconds to take back that
in you.
Speaker 12 (07:32):
Window, Callahan, I told you once before, already told me
what you started brawling here again, and I'll fix that
mouth of your so from now on you'll be doing
all your drinking through.
Speaker 10 (07:41):
A tube stuck in a vein me.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
I give you trouble.
Speaker 11 (07:44):
You heard me tell it to the number one welcher
of all the Western states.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Over here. This guy still owes me money for the fight.
Speaker 15 (07:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe on account of deck was a
bum call too, and I don't pay you off on
bum call.
Speaker 10 (07:58):
Hey, Dangle, Yeah, you'll remember that fight.
Speaker 15 (08:01):
The chance out of the ring and the ref gives
him a long count like everybody in a room could
have gone off for a beer, engaged in some small talk,
and then come back and still sat down before the
ref has finished counting.
Speaker 10 (08:12):
Now, how about that, I'm asking you me? Got you?
How about that?
Speaker 5 (08:16):
You're asking Dingo?
Speaker 10 (08:18):
I sure am, I'm asking him. Well, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
You see the game on television last night?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Well, as a matter of fact, as a matter of fact,
I did watch, Yes, there you go.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Now we'll settle this.
Speaker 10 (08:30):
Do you talk about bum calls ninth inning?
Speaker 15 (08:33):
Batters up with two down, and we got a man
on first and a man on second.
Speaker 14 (08:37):
And this umpire with no pupils in his eyes, calls
a foul ball and out.
Speaker 10 (08:42):
You see that.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
I believe I did see that particular playing.
Speaker 13 (08:46):
Then you tell him, you just tell him what you saw.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
There go on except your defensive play, Abner double Day
would have been proud.
Speaker 10 (08:55):
Never mind, Abner double Day. I leave it up to you.
Was that a foul ball or was it an out?
Speaker 14 (09:03):
Well, well, come on over to the bar Dingle, and
I'll buy your drink, refresh your memory.
Speaker 10 (09:10):
I'll pay for it.
Speaker 13 (09:11):
Put your money away, both of yous.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
This one's on the house.
Speaker 10 (09:16):
Okay, take your time say it.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Say what you saw?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Well, it did appear to me, Yeah, it appeared to
me that the ball was in safe territory. Appeared consequently,
upon striking the ground and then hitting the batter, the
rules would very clearly indicate that that that the batter
was out.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
You heard it.
Speaker 15 (09:37):
You realize, of course, Powell, that you're calling me a liar.
Speaker 14 (09:43):
Now I ain't an unreasonable man, So I'll give you
one more chance.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
All right?
Speaker 10 (09:50):
Was that a foul or was it an out?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Well? As I say, it's my considered opinion.
Speaker 10 (09:57):
Here's what I think of your opinion. Hey, that's enough,
back off. What happened?
Speaker 13 (10:05):
Yeah, mister Dingle, let me help you out.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Oh yes, thank you kindly. Mister O'Toole?
Speaker 13 (10:11):
How come you always got a hit, Dingle? You hit
him last week, you hit him the week before.
Speaker 14 (10:15):
A man can only stand so much. I'm tired of
this guy contradicting me. And when somebody calls me a liar,
there's my honor to consider your honor.
Speaker 11 (10:26):
You've got nothing but larceny, and you all the way
from your arches to where you part your hair.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
And when you die, they're gonna have to screw you
into the ground.
Speaker 10 (10:33):
How about that, Dingle? Is that true? I'm crooked? I
leave it to you, buddy. Am I crooked?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Well? Dingle?
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Dingle?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Just once?
Speaker 13 (10:44):
Why can't you just be neutrable?
Speaker 3 (10:46):
That's an interesting question.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
WA's what you say, Dingle? I got money writing on this.
Speaker 16 (10:56):
You are sure we are invisible beyond? This represents the
gathering place of earth man from the coordinates. Yes, did
you ever see such primitive looking creatures typical earthman, and
I say.
Speaker 14 (11:14):
That anybody tells me Philadelphia had any right to win
the peniti, You're a is out of their green grass.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Ma.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
The blind is a bad and your stupid term.
Speaker 10 (11:22):
Furthermore, if you're gonna sit there and.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Tell me, look, get the record for us. I rest
my case.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Not entirely typical.
Speaker 16 (11:34):
The one in the middle of the hat in peculiar
neck adoinnment.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
In Earth's terminology. I believe it is called a boat tie.
Speaker 16 (11:39):
He appears to have separate physical damage.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
At the hands of his fellow humans, appalling.
Speaker 16 (11:44):
This might be the perfect specimen. Does that compute the
very one we're looking for?
Speaker 6 (11:50):
Silence. I'm receiving his framewaves.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Now, awaiting confirmation.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
His name is Dingle. He's an abject coward. He doesn't
even possess the minimum musculature for survival on this planet.
Decidedly a subphysical.
Speaker 16 (12:07):
Type, a genetic throwbic. I believe we have found our subject.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
You intend to give him the additional strength.
Speaker 16 (12:15):
We have not found any one weaker, have we negative
This one will make an exceptional subject. I estimated eleven
additional psychograms atomic weight that should make him approximately three
hundred times as strong as the average human.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
Yes, that will suffice. Contact the mother chip, tell them
we have picked a subject. They may begin observing him
in sixty earth seconds.
Speaker 16 (12:37):
Confirmed, adjest settings, check, and prepare to let him have it.
Speaker 12 (12:48):
Look, Dingle, you don't got to answer this guy out.
What do you mean just because he don't happen to
like the Phillies.
Speaker 10 (12:54):
Let him tell me he's got a brain, don't he?
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Of course he does.
Speaker 10 (12:57):
You got a point of view, don't you, Dingle?
Speaker 14 (13:00):
All right, let's get historical. You followed the game. Do
you notice stats?
Speaker 10 (13:04):
What did you think of the Phillies back in say
fifty three? That was a big year.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
The Phillies and nineteen fifty three, that's right?
Speaker 10 (13:13):
You tell me.
Speaker 14 (13:13):
For example, if you think Robin Roberts was one half
the picture that Lebne was that year.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
Here we go again.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Well, of the two, I'd be inclined to take Roberts.
Speaker 10 (13:26):
You heard the man, buddy, why all the time you
gotta fight me? Now, let's run through this one more time.
Speaker 14 (13:32):
You say that Robin Roberts had more stuff than Clem Lebne.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
To be perfectly honest and candida as to the two
men as good as they both were, all things being equal.
Speaker 10 (13:45):
So come on already, hey, let the man talk. Who
do you pick?
Speaker 8 (13:50):
Roberts?
Speaker 12 (13:53):
I'm telling you, guys, for the last time you pull
any more rough stuff around here, and I.
Speaker 13 (13:57):
Ain't gonna let you in that front door? Now what
you've done to this poor little fella?
Speaker 10 (14:01):
Ah, he's coming around.
Speaker 13 (14:03):
How do you feel, Dingle?
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Clem Lebine was definitely superior?
Speaker 14 (14:07):
You see, all I'm doing is helping them see things clear.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
What was that?
Speaker 13 (14:17):
What was what?
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I don't know, but I definitely felt something for a
second just then. How you doing?
Speaker 10 (14:24):
You all right?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Definitely clem Levine? All the same. I think you better
go on home if you insist. But I feel quite well,
quite remarkably well. In quite of fact.
Speaker 13 (14:37):
Here's your vacuum.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
I'm very kind of you, but I can carry Dingle.
Do you mind it?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
You know?
Speaker 13 (14:44):
A word of advice?
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Oh not at all. Look, there's some guys in this world,
are you know?
Speaker 12 (14:48):
They're going to get punched in the nose, no matter
who they picking a ball game, or who they vote for,
or the color of the tie they put on in
the morning.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Like quite agree, old tool, I've always thought polka dots
were quite stylish personally.
Speaker 13 (14:59):
Yeah, look, you're one of those guys, Dingle. So you
know what I think you got to do from now on?
Don't talk, just nod.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
If a guy asks you who you like in the
third race, you just smile at it, okay. If somebody
asks you who you're voting for, you just not okay.
Speaker 17 (15:16):
And if you're sitting in the bleachers for a doubleheader
and you hear some guy yelling for the Dodgers, you
don't go yelling for the pirates.
Speaker 10 (15:22):
You just leave your.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Seat and you go get a hot thought. You gonna stand, Dingle,
I believe so. A word to the wise and so forth. Huh,
very considerate of you, mister O'Toole. I'll definitely give the
concept further thought.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Yeah, what's the matter?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Well? That's odd? What is I feel? So? Funny?
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Funny?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
How? Oh? Nothing? I'm sure I'm fine now. But for
a moment there, it was as if something passed over
me or through me and I heard a high pitched sound.
Very odd. Did anyone else hear it?
Speaker 10 (15:57):
I can't say as I did. What's he talking about?
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Now?
Speaker 8 (16:00):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Well, no, what do you suppose caused that?
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Caused.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
What what this vacuum cleaner feels light? Is a feather?
Speaker 12 (16:11):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Not that the machine isn't light. It happens to be
one of the lightest on the market.
Speaker 10 (16:16):
Ah, give me a break.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
No, it's a handy dandy Jim cracker, a one piece
of merchandise I guaranteed to light in the labor and
lengthen the life of that wonderful partner in the American home,
the housewife. But I've never noticed there was this light?
Is say, a dingle?
Speaker 10 (16:35):
What di did you see that the door fell off?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Hey?
Speaker 10 (16:39):
Look, Dingle?
Speaker 17 (16:40):
I mean, with all your faults, despite the fact that
you cost me in band aids what I normally would
have to put out for the water bill. You've always
been a nice type fellow who never gave me no trouble.
But why all of a sudden you have to go
wreck in my front door.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Don't believe me, mister O'Toole. I am mystified. I am
absolutely mystified. The don't just seem to just seem to
come off its hinges. When I grasped the knob very
lightly in my hand, my right hand. I'll just set
it here against the wall and you can do whatever
you need to make it better again, I bid you
(17:13):
good day, gentlemen.
Speaker 10 (17:16):
She's otol.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
What kind of drink did you pour him?
Speaker 10 (17:20):
Anyway?
Speaker 7 (17:43):
Look at there's that dweep again?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Boys, mister, why did you come back? Huh? I told
him my dad had sack you in the jaw and
he did. Yeah, you're really asking for it.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Quite right, Only this time, I'm not going to Yancey
Street and merely to that park bench to sit in
the sun and collect my thoughts.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
He talks funny.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I got an idea. Give me the ball.
Speaker 8 (18:06):
You gonna throw it at him?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Yeah, knock his dumb head off. Bet you can't do it.
Watch this?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
No, now, boys, that's not the best of all possible manners?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Is it pretty funny? Go pedal your vacuum cleaners, you
creep and throw the ball back.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
I think you can catch it.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
He can't even throw it.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Oh? Is that so?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (18:29):
All right? Uh? Go back for a pass?
Speaker 10 (18:32):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Let me see. Now, how does one group a football? Oh? Yes,
I think I've got it ready.
Speaker 8 (18:40):
Here goes whoa.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
We'll get it.
Speaker 8 (18:43):

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Just let me read my paper here. Okay, good to you.
Speaker 6 (18:57):

Speaker 7 (18:58):
Your rule is it work?

Would you like being home?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
No more?
Speaker 3 (19:02):
To hatch your conditioner? Don't if you tell the soaper
to fix it?
Speaker 6 (19:15):
What the heck was that?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
I don't know, Arthur.
Speaker 16 (19:19):
But you don't have to tell the soap or nothing,
because now we got a nice cross ventilation all the
weight of the next apartment.

Hey, mister, where're you going to throw a.

not married, never.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Really, that's hard to believe a nice, noble man like you.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
I thank you for what. No woman's ever said that
to me before, or that you know I'm normal. You're joking.
I wish I were. I'm not acquainted with many women,
or hardly any in fact, on the personal level. Gosh,
I hope you don't mind chatting like this tool.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
I spend a lot of time here taking care of
the baby.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
I'm cute, little fellow. I know what he wants you do? Well,
look up that tree branch. Above your head. There's an
apple on it, and the baby sees that. Really, Oh,
I'm sure of it.
Speaker 10 (22:34):
Could you go, I'm sure the cutest little feller.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Look, I'm I don't want you to think I'm a
masher or anything. I'm certainly not a masher. But I
wonder if you'd mind answer me a question that depends
well what I mean? Is I mean looking at me?
Would you say, at least upon a perfunctory cursory, very
first surveilled, would I pear to be abnormal in any way?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Not at all? Oh, thank you, unless you plan to
use that in the park.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Oh that you know. Up to a few hours ago,
I sold those things new fangled vacuum cleaners, or at
least I went through the motions. I was miserably bad
as a salesman, just miserable. Would you believe it? Last
week I made exactly eighty nine cents in commission, and
that was for an attachment, an upholstery nozzle, and I
(23:31):
sold it to a drunk who kept consisting it was
a divining rod for alcohol.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Is that where you stopped?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Well, there were other factors. I expected to be fired
today anyway, But you know that's the least of my worries. Now,
a few minutes ago people were chasing me. Why, well,
that's just it, because they thought I was abnormal. Now
I asked you, would you be interested in hearing the
source of my worries? Go ahead?
Speaker 10 (24:01):
That apple?
Speaker 6 (24:02):
For instance?
Speaker 3 (24:03):
The baby wants it, but you can't reach it, can you?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
No?
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Not even if you put the baby down and stood
up on the bench. I couldn't put the baby down precisely.
But what if I were to give you a hand?
Speaker 8 (24:15):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
I most see this bench weighs I'd say one hundred
hundred and fifty pounds, and you're no more than one
ten till one fifteen?
Speaker 8 (24:23):
Well, one twenty five?
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Well, what if I were to stand, reach down, pick
up the bench by one of its legs, and lift
it straight up into the air like this?
Speaker 12 (24:34):
Please?
Speaker 8 (24:35):
What's a shine?
Speaker 3 (24:36):
So that you could reach the apple and you wouldn't
even have to disturb the baby? Go on, reach over
and take it. And then I put the bench down
with you and the baby on it, right back down
on the ground as there? Would you say, that's abnormal?
Speaker 5 (24:55):
How did you could you do that?
Speaker 10 (25:00):
Again?
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Oh? I'm not sure?
Speaker 10 (25:03):
I got my camera with me.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
I sure would like to get a shot of that.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
Is it a magic trick like in Las Vegas? Are
you a magician or what?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
No, it's just something that I've discovered I can do
very recently. As a matter of fact, Is he get.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
The baby hung out?
Speaker 10 (25:19):
Let me just get the camera set up?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
But the young lady is gone. Now there's no plane
in lifting the bench with no one on a is there?
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Do something else?
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Or like what?
Speaker 10 (25:27):
Anything?
Speaker 3 (25:28):
I don't know?
Speaker 5 (25:30):
At least let me take your picture? It stand right
there by that big rock here?
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Oh well, I suppose one picture, wouldn't Tony harm? Shall
I take my hat off? Of course? Then the sun
would be in my eyes? Want I have to spoint?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Well?
Speaker 10 (25:41):
Can you show me your muscles or something?
Speaker 12 (25:43):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (25:43):
I'm sorry, I don't believe I have any muscles to speak?
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Yeah, right, say jeez?
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Wait, now the rock is in the way. Perhaps if
you stand there a few feature your left.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
And then the sun will be right in the lens.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Oh and in that case, I've better move the rock.
May I hold on one second?
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Who shot you lifted it? Just like that? It must
weigh a.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Ton there, young man?
Speaker 8 (26:06):
Is that better?
Speaker 3 (26:07):
I suppose you can stand my picture now if you insist.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Are you sure this is my good side?
Speaker 10 (26:13):
Couple more?
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Oh right, wait till my editor sets this.
Speaker 8 (26:28):
Right.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
For the love of Mike, did you see this?
Speaker 13 (26:36):
What do you got to callahan?
Speaker 5 (26:38):
It's Dingle on the front page of the Daily Bulleted.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Let me see that, Hercules.
Speaker 12 (26:44):
No, it's Luther Dingle, twentieth century Samson, good gravy.
Speaker 10 (26:48):
There's his picture picking up a giant rock. You mean
this is odd Dingle? None other but the looks of it.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
And this is where I spend my noons when I'm
not working.

Of course, Dingle my old pat.

you realize how much money you could make on a
tour with my international circus circus? I don't know, Vegas,
Atlantic City, Prince in Missouri. Don't listen to her Dingle
your futures in television.
Speaker 17 (27:57):
You're the walking talking embodyment of every American sales wish fulfillment.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
You're John Q Citizen, You're Fabit, your Tom, Dick and
Furry will develop a sit come around those values, a
spinoff after several guests spots, of course, I'm just not sure.
All right, Well, how about an infomercial, A simple across
the board addressed by you, with examples of your physical prowess,
followed by product endorsements. It's a natural for breakfast, cereals,

Speaker 18 (28:48):
Hello friends, Jason Abernathy Here, our unusual subject today is
mister Luther Dingle, who, if what actual onlookers say is true,
is the world's strongest man?
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Well, I know, mister d Would you give.
Speaker 18 (29:03):
Us an example of this fantastic, allegedly fantastic strength of yours.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Well, i'd be happy to. Mister O'Toole, Is it all right?
You know the thing we discussed? Well, are you kidding?
Speaker 10 (29:14):
I had done this much business as well? I don't
know when be my guest Dingle.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Well, yes, I'll start off with something simple and you'll
see this wall solid plaster supported I believe by wooden studs.
I'll make a small X with my finger here and.
Speaker 10 (29:33):
You saw it.
Speaker 18 (29:34):
Mister Dingle has just pushed a hole through a solid
wall with.
Speaker 8 (29:38):
His bare fist.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Now from a second demonstration. Oh dude, let me see
you go. Have you've heard of corate? I suppose I
could simply just line up the edge of my hand
with the surface of this table my open hand, mind you,
and with the single blow.
Speaker 19 (30:00):
That's amazing.
Speaker 18 (30:01):
Would you call it mind over matter, mister Dingle?
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Oh no, I call an example of matter over matter.
It doesn't matter what's on my mind, even if it's
nothing at all.
Speaker 12 (30:11):
Okay, Dangle, you just don't go breaking all my tables
in a half?
Speaker 5 (30:14):
Okay, hey, better sit down, buddy, have yourself a drink.
Hey you want my seat?
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Not yet? I feel fine, splendid. These barstools are bolted down,
aren't they. If let's say I wanted to move one
a few inches seat that he.
Speaker 10 (30:33):
Ripped it right off the floor and he didn't even
break a sweat.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
What a guy?
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Go on, take my stool if you want?
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Stand up?
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Sure?
Speaker 10 (30:42):
Why if you please? Why are you looking at me
like that?
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (30:47):
No, wait a minute, Dingle. Ain't you ever heard of
bygones being bygones? Put me down?
Speaker 18 (30:54):
I see it, but I don't believe it. Ladies and gentlemen,
The man at the bar is.
Speaker 19 (30:58):
One hundred and sixty or seventy.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Dingle is lifting him like a rag doll, swirling up
over his head with one hand.
Speaker 10 (31:14):
From there.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Now, that doesn't hurt too much, get it?
Speaker 19 (31:18):
Pal?
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Your good is new, well almost? Can I give you
a hand up? Pal Mister Dingle, you're my hero.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
He can do anything well?
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Better not dad the bite with.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
That metal.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
Pad enough, most inferior. We give him the strength of
three hundred men, and he uses it for petty exhibitions.
What shall we do about it? Give him twenty or
thirty seconds more and then remove the power.
Speaker 16 (31:49):
Excellent. Then I think we'd best be off. Three more
planets on the itinerary. What is particularly interesting contains only females.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
Set the ray for cancelations.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Check no, ladies and gentlemen. For my next feat, I
think lift this entire building, well, at least the ceiling
and hence all the floors above it. Step aside everyone.
Speaker 18 (32:22):
I don't know if we have a clear shot of this,
but he's standing on his tiptoes extending his fingers to
the ceiling.
Speaker 8 (32:30):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Uh huh. Let me try that again. I can't seem
to something's wrong. No, I just felt strange there for
a second. Let me try another bar stool. Remember they're
bolted to the floor. One finger, no, maybe two fingers.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
He's up bag?
Speaker 6 (32:55):
Whyere's this?
Speaker 18 (32:57):
What's the matter, mister Dingle?
Speaker 10 (33:00):
The wall?
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Then I'll put you to the hole right about here.
Speaker 18 (33:05):
Well, apparently we've all been the victims of a Charlotte cut.
Speaker 19 (33:10):
Are we still alive?
Speaker 10 (33:11):
Come on, let's get out of here.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Just come God looking to get his picture in the paper?
All right, leave off with port Dingle here, get out
of here. Hey, come on, Dingle, sit on, I'll get
you some my ippos. Knuckles.
Speaker 18 (33:25):
Ladies and gentlemen, you have the station's apologies. We didn't
realize that these were merely stage illusions.
Speaker 7 (33:33):
And okay, we're off the air. That's a wrap off.
Speaker 19 (33:36):
The air for good.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
I think.
Speaker 19 (33:38):
Let's go so long, Samson, time to go?
Speaker 6 (33:50):
Yes? Wait, who are they?
Speaker 10 (33:53):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Boys?
Speaker 6 (33:54):
Where are you two from Venus?
Speaker 5 (33:57):
How about you Mars?
Speaker 6 (34:00):
Conducting your own experiments?
Speaker 10 (34:01):
Yes, and you.
Speaker 16 (34:04):
Sudden introduction of strength is subnormb alar. And then as
your experiment.
Speaker 9 (34:08):
Sudden introduction of an enhanced intelligence, find any interesting subjects
That one.
Speaker 6 (34:15):
Over there referred to as Dingle. He is certainly subphysical,
maybe submittle.
Speaker 9 (34:21):
To a likely subject, give him the intelligence quota.
Speaker 10 (34:26):
Ray how much OH.
Speaker 9 (34:29):
Will make him approximately five hundred times more intelligent than
the average human.
Speaker 10 (34:48):
What was hey, Dingle? Who do you like?
Speaker 1 (34:51):
In the double head of tonight?
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Well, in this case, the laws of probability you were
inspersed with the finating laws of chance. So through a
process of calculus and a subdivision of repel based physical
motivating and adivisional annotating. In this case, of course, using
the two X factors is represented by the teams. The
feral scork must of necessity be five to three Milwaukee
and the opener six to nothing Dodgers in the nightcap.
Speaker 5 (35:11):
Yeah, what did he say?
Speaker 10 (35:12):
Search me? Callahan, Let's have another drink.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
It's on the house. It is apparently on an advanced
mathematical plan that the entire quantum theory of space and
time relatively must of.
Speaker 16 (35:22):
Necessity be aquainted with the Paraelion law definitive the americal
dialect to.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Drink exit Mister Luther Dingle, former vacuum cleaner, salesman, strongest
man on Earth, and now mental giant. These latter powers
(35:47):
will very likely be eliminated before too long. But mister
Dingle has an appeal to extraterrestrial note takers as well
as two frustrated and insult and pet loosers. Off hand,
I'd say that he in for a great many extremely
odd periods, simply because there are so many inhabited planets
to send down observers, and also because, of course, mister
(36:10):
Dingle lives his life with one foot planted firmly in
the twilight Zone.
Speaker 13 (36:35):

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Lovely place you have here? Yeah sure, Now then I
have the most amazing thing to show you that yes.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Looks kind of like a big tin can knobs and wires.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Now I'll just plug it in. Now, pretend if you will,
that this rug here is your brain and this dirt
what are you doing? This dirt is all the messy
thoughts in your head.
Speaker 8 (03:14):
Dirt on my floor.
Speaker 3 (03:15):

Speaker 3 (03:29):
Well if you wish, But first I'd like to tell
you about.
Speaker 10 (03:32):
To what's going on in there.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
It's a crazy man. He spelled dirt all over.
Speaker 10 (03:36):
And then he say, what are you trying to pull?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I was just demonstrating you're a salesman.
Speaker 10 (03:41):
Well you might say, take your crap and get moving.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Oh it's just one question before I go watch that.
I don't suppose some that is you You wouldn't care
to purchase one of my vacuum claimers by any chance?
Speaker 10 (03:55):

We have easy time payments.
Speaker 8 (04:05):
I look at him.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I told you, mister, my old man don't like salesman.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Thank you, Thank you both very much. Ye, No, I
think I think I'll just step try the next block over.
Oh callahan, you heard the man.
Speaker 10 (04:24):
He says he's not gonna pay. So that's that you
want me to pay on a bum call?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Where I come from? A BET's a bet.
Speaker 10 (04:31):
You saw the play the umpire's blund.
Speaker 11 (04:33):
Look, you shouldn't have took the bets. I set the
odds and you took him. All I want is what's
coming to me?
Speaker 9 (04:40):
Ah.
Speaker 12 (04:40):
Hello, mister Dingle, the usual, oh quite wit, mister Oe O'Toole,
just allow me to sit here and collect.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
My thoughts.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Uniquely American institution known as the neighborhood Bar. First up
is mister Anthony O'Toole, proprietor who waters his drinks like geraniums,
but who stands four square for peace and quiet and
booths for ladies. Then mister Joseph Callahan, an unregistered bookie
whose entire life is any sporting event with two sides
(05:17):
and a set of odds. His idea of a summit
meeting is any dialogue between a catcher and a pitcher
with more than one man on base. And the citizen
who wants his payoff is every anonymous better who ever
dropped rent money on a horse race, a prize fight,
or a floating crap game, and who took out his
frustrations and his insolvency on any vulnerable fellow barstool companion
(05:40):
within arms and fists reach. And mister Luther Dingle, a
vacuum cleaner salesman whose volume of business is roughly that
of a valet at a hobo convention. He is a
consummate failure at almost everything. But soon two visitors from
outer space will arrive on the scene and alter the
destiny of Luther Dingle by leaving him a legacy. In
(06:03):
just a moment, a sad faced punching bag wholl missed
even the caboose of life's gravy train will take a
short constitutional into that most unpredictable region, the one we
refer to as the twilight Zone.
Speaker 13 (06:34):
And now the Twilight Zone and our story, Mister Dingle
The Strong starring Tim Kazarinski with Stacy Keach as your narrator.
Speaker 10 (06:45):
Don't give me that Callahan, I've told you before. I
don't pay off on a bum call.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Three umpires called him out. I called him out.
Speaker 11 (06:53):
Eleven thousand fans called him out. Final score Pittsburgh three Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Nothing.
Speaker 11 (06:59):
You and me got an even bet. I got the Pirates,
hence you.
Speaker 10 (07:03):
Owe me five buck. I know a bum call when
I see one. That ball was foul when it hit it.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
It don't matter what you think you saw. So instead
of an out it was.
Speaker 14 (07:13):
A foul ball, who's to say you wouldn't have got
on base, so that after the single he would have
scored a run. And like that, your dreamman Furthermore, Callahan,
you're a low down, cheating insult to American bookingdom.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
I'm gonna give you five seconds to take back that
in you.
Speaker 12 (07:32):
Window, Callahan, I told you once before, already told me
what you started brawling here again, and I'll fix that
mouth of your so from now on you'll be doing
all your drinking through.
Speaker 10 (07:41):
A tube stuck in a vein me.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
I give you trouble.
Speaker 11 (07:44):
You heard me tell it to the number one welcher
of all the Western states.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Over here. This guy still owes me money for the fight.
Speaker 15 (07:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe on account of deck was a
bum call too, and I don't pay you off on
bum call.
Speaker 10 (07:58):
Hey, Dangle, Yeah, you'll remember that fight.
Speaker 15 (08:01):
The chance out of the ring and the ref gives
him a long count like everybody in a room could
have gone off for a beer, engaged in some small talk,
and then come back and still sat down before the
ref has finished counting.
Speaker 10 (08:12):
Now, how about that, I'm asking you me? Got you?
How about that?
Speaker 5 (08:16):
You're asking Dingo?
Speaker 10 (08:18):
I sure am, I'm asking him. Well, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
You see the game on television last night?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Well, as a matter of fact, as a matter of fact,
I did watch, Yes, there you go.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Now we'll settle this.
Speaker 10 (08:30):
Do you talk about bum calls ninth inning?
Speaker 15 (08:33):
Batters up with two down, and we got a man
on first and a man on second.
Speaker 14 (08:37):
And this umpire with no pupils in his eyes, calls
a foul ball and out.
Speaker 10 (08:42):
You see that.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
I believe I did see that particular playing.
Speaker 13 (08:46):
Then you tell him, you just tell him what you saw.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
There go on except your defensive play, Abner double Day
would have been proud.
Speaker 10 (08:55):
Never mind, Abner double Day. I leave it up to you.
Was that a foul ball or was it an out?
Speaker 14 (09:03):
Well, well, come on over to the bar Dingle, and
I'll buy your drink, refresh your memory.
Speaker 10 (09:10):
I'll pay for it.
Speaker 13 (09:11):
Put your money away, both of yous.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
This one's on the house.
Speaker 10 (09:16):
Okay, take your time say it.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Say what you saw?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Well, it did appear to me, Yeah, it appeared to
me that the ball was in safe territory. Appeared consequently,
upon striking the ground and then hitting the batter, the
rules would very clearly indicate that that that the batter
was out.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
You heard it.
Speaker 15 (09:37):
You realize, of course, Powell, that you're calling me a liar.
Speaker 14 (09:43):
Now I ain't an unreasonable man, So I'll give you
one more chance.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
All right?
Speaker 10 (09:50):
Was that a foul or was it an out?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Well? As I say, it's my considered opinion.
Speaker 10 (09:57):
Here's what I think of your opinion. Hey, that's enough,
back off. What happened?
Speaker 13 (10:05):
Yeah, mister Dingle, let me help you out.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Oh yes, thank you kindly. Mister O'Toole?
Speaker 13 (10:11):
How come you always got a hit, Dingle? You hit
him last week, you hit him the week before.
Speaker 14 (10:15):
A man can only stand so much. I'm tired of
this guy contradicting me. And when somebody calls me a liar,
there's my honor to consider your honor.
Speaker 11 (10:26):
You've got nothing but larceny, and you all the way
from your arches to where you part your hair.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
And when you die, they're gonna have to screw you
into the ground.
Speaker 10 (10:33):
How about that, Dingle? Is that true? I'm crooked? I
leave it to you, buddy. Am I crooked?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Well? Dingle?
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Dingle?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Just once?
Speaker 13 (10:44):
Why can't you just be neutrable?
Speaker 3 (10:46):
That's an interesting question.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
WA's what you say, Dingle? I got money writing on this.
Speaker 16 (10:56):
You are sure we are invisible beyond? This represents the
gathering place of earth man from the coordinates. Yes, did
you ever see such primitive looking creatures typical earthman, and
I say.
Speaker 14 (11:14):
That anybody tells me Philadelphia had any right to win
the peniti, You're a is out of their green grass.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Ma.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
The blind is a bad and your stupid term.
Speaker 10 (11:22):
Furthermore, if you're gonna sit there and.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Tell me, look, get the record for us. I rest
my case.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Not entirely typical.
Speaker 16 (11:34):
The one in the middle of the hat in peculiar
neck adoinnment.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
In Earth's terminology. I believe it is called a boat tie.
Speaker 16 (11:39):
He appears to have separate physical damage.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
At the hands of his fellow humans, appalling.
Speaker 16 (11:44):
This might be the perfect specimen. Does that compute the
very one we're looking for?
Speaker 6 (11:50):
Silence. I'm receiving his framewaves.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Now, awaiting confirmation.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
His name is Dingle. He's an abject coward. He doesn't
even possess the minimum musculature for survival on this planet.
Decidedly a subphysical.
Speaker 16 (12:07):
Type, a genetic throwbic. I believe we have found our subject.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
You intend to give him the additional strength.
Speaker 16 (12:15):
We have not found any one weaker, have we negative
This one will make an exceptional subject. I estimated eleven
additional psychograms atomic weight that should make him approximately three
hundred times as strong as the average human.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
Yes, that will suffice. Contact the mother chip, tell them
we have picked a subject. They may begin observing him
in sixty earth seconds.
Speaker 16 (12:37):
Confirmed, adjest settings, check, and prepare to let him have it.
Speaker 12 (12:48):
Look, Dingle, you don't got to answer this guy out.
What do you mean just because he don't happen to
like the Phillies.
Speaker 10 (12:54):
Let him tell me he's got a brain, don't he?
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Of course he does.
Speaker 10 (12:57):
You got a point of view, don't you, Dingle?
Speaker 14 (13:00):
All right, let's get historical. You followed the game. Do
you notice stats?
Speaker 10 (13:04):
What did you think of the Phillies back in say
fifty three? That was a big year.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
The Phillies and nineteen fifty three, that's right?
Speaker 10 (13:13):
You tell me.
Speaker 14 (13:13):
For example, if you think Robin Roberts was one half
the picture that Lebne was that year.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
Here we go again.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Well, of the two, I'd be inclined to take Roberts.
Speaker 10 (13:26):
You heard the man, buddy, why all the time you
gotta fight me? Now, let's run through this one more time.
Speaker 14 (13:32):
You say that Robin Roberts had more stuff than Clem Lebne.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
To be perfectly honest and candida as to the two
men as good as they both were, all things being equal.
Speaker 10 (13:45):
So come on already, hey, let the man talk. Who
do you pick?
Speaker 8 (13:50):
Roberts?
Speaker 12 (13:53):
I'm telling you, guys, for the last time you pull
any more rough stuff around here, and I.
Speaker 13 (13:57):
Ain't gonna let you in that front door? Now what
you've done to this poor little fella?
Speaker 10 (14:01):
Ah, he's coming around.
Speaker 13 (14:03):
How do you feel, Dingle?
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Clem Lebine was definitely superior?
Speaker 14 (14:07):
You see, all I'm doing is helping them see things clear.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
What was that?
Speaker 13 (14:17):
What was what?
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I don't know, but I definitely felt something for a
second just then. How you doing?
Speaker 10 (14:24):
You all right?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Definitely clem Levine? All the same. I think you better
go on home if you insist. But I feel quite well,
quite remarkably well. In quite of fact.
Speaker 13 (14:37):
Here's your vacuum.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
I'm very kind of you, but I can carry Dingle.
Do you mind it?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
You know?
Speaker 13 (14:44):
A word of advice?
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Oh not at all. Look, there's some guys in this world,
are you know?
Speaker 12 (14:48):
They're going to get punched in the nose, no matter
who they picking a ball game, or who they vote for,
or the color of the tie they put on in
the morning.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Like quite agree, old tool, I've always thought polka dots
were quite stylish personally.
Speaker 13 (14:59):
Yeah, look, you're one of those guys, Dingle. So you
know what I think you got to do from now on?
Don't talk, just nod.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
If a guy asks you who you like in the
third race, you just smile at it, okay. If somebody
asks you who you're voting for, you just not okay.
Speaker 17 (15:16):
And if you're sitting in the bleachers for a doubleheader
and you hear some guy yelling for the Dodgers, you
don't go yelling for the pirates.
Speaker 10 (15:22):
You just leave your.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Seat and you go get a hot thought. You gonna stand, Dingle,
I believe so. A word to the wise and so forth. Huh,
very considerate of you, mister O'Toole. I'll definitely give the
concept further thought.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Yeah, what's the matter?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Well? That's odd? What is I feel? So? Funny?
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Funny?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
How? Oh? Nothing? I'm sure I'm fine now. But for
a moment there, it was as if something passed over
me or through me and I heard a high pitched sound.
Very odd. Did anyone else hear it?
Speaker 10 (15:57):
I can't say as I did. What's he talking about?
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Now?
Speaker 8 (16:00):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Well, no, what do you suppose caused that?
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Caused.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
What what this vacuum cleaner feels light? Is a feather?
Speaker 12 (16:11):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Not that the machine isn't light. It happens to be
one of the lightest on the market.
Speaker 10 (16:16):
Ah, give me a break.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
No, it's a handy dandy Jim cracker, a one piece
of merchandise I guaranteed to light in the labor and
lengthen the life of that wonderful partner in the American home,
the housewife. But I've never noticed there was this light?
Is say, a dingle?
Speaker 10 (16:35):
What di did you see that the door fell off?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Hey?
Speaker 10 (16:39):
Look, Dingle?
Speaker 17 (16:40):
I mean, with all your faults, despite the fact that
you cost me in band aids what I normally would
have to put out for the water bill. You've always
been a nice type fellow who never gave me no trouble.
But why all of a sudden you have to go
wreck in my front door.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Don't believe me, mister O'Toole. I am mystified. I am
absolutely mystified. The don't just seem to just seem to
come off its hinges. When I grasped the knob very
lightly in my hand, my right hand. I'll just set
it here against the wall and you can do whatever
you need to make it better again, I bid you
(17:13):
good day, gentlemen.
Speaker 10 (17:16):
She's otol.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
What kind of drink did you pour him?
Speaker 10 (17:20):
Anyway?
Speaker 7 (17:43):
Look at there's that dweep again?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Boys, mister, why did you come back? Huh? I told
him my dad had sack you in the jaw and
he did. Yeah, you're really asking for it.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Quite right, Only this time, I'm not going to Yancey
Street and merely to that park bench to sit in
the sun and collect my thoughts.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
He talks funny.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I got an idea. Give me the ball.
Speaker 8 (18:06):
You gonna throw it at him?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Yeah, knock his dumb head off. Bet you can't do it.
Watch this?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
No, now, boys, that's not the best of all possible manners?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Is it pretty funny? Go pedal your vacuum cleaners, you
creep and throw the ball back.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
I think you can catch it.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
He can't even throw it.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Oh? Is that so?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (18:29):
All right? Uh? Go back for a pass?
Speaker 10 (18:32):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Let me see. Now, how does one group a football? Oh? Yes,
I think I've got it ready.
Speaker 8 (18:40):
Here goes whoa.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
We'll get it.
Speaker 8 (18:43):
Go right at the building.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
It's gonna hit the window.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Here's your lunch, Arthur. You want Tom soap with you.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Just let me read my paper here. Okay, good to you.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
I gotta go break the work.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
Your rule is it work?
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Would you like being home?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
No more?
Speaker 3 (19:02):
To hatch your conditioner? Don't if you tell the soaper
to fix it?
Speaker 6 (19:15):
What the heck was that?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
I don't know, Arthur.
Speaker 16 (19:19):
But you don't have to tell the soap or nothing,
because now we got a nice cross ventilation all the
weight of the next apartment.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Hey, mister, where're you going to throw a.
Speaker 8 (19:36):
Ball in an?
Speaker 3 (19:37):
I really don't know. I don't know what's happening to me.
What in the world is happening to me?
Speaker 10 (19:44):
Get those kids out there? They broke my window.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
We better get out of here.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
Yes, a street, a taxi over here?
Speaker 10 (20:06):
Where to?
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I don't care anywhere. I'm in a hurry. Oh yes,
of course.
Speaker 10 (20:16):
Hey, you tore my back door off. What do you
do that for?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Don't believe me. This isn't much a mystery to me
as this is to you. I'll leave it right here
so you can.
Speaker 10 (20:25):
Fix it nowh am I gonna do that?
Speaker 8 (20:29):
Just Just let me catch my breath.
Speaker 10 (20:31):
Hey, quit leaning on my car.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
You're timming it over.
Speaker 10 (20:38):
Somebody get me out of here.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Oh, dear me, you're pending under the steering your virtue.
Speaker 8 (20:46):
Give me a second.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
There, you can get out now. Did you see that
he lifted the car and turned it over with one hand.
I can't believe my eyes I ever saw.
Speaker 10 (21:02):
He's a hero.
Speaker 8 (21:03):
What's your name?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
No name? I mean, I'm nobody, nobody at all.
Speaker 10 (21:25):
Excuse me, miss?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (21:27):
May I share your park bench?
Speaker 8 (21:29):
Yes? Of course it's not mine.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I only come in the afternoons.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
You're charming baby. I see.
Speaker 10 (21:35):
Oh he's not mine either, I'm just the nanny.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
They want him to have his time in the park.
How perfectly lovely. I don't actually know that is. You're
not married, never.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Really, that's hard to believe a nice, noble man like you.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
I thank you for what. No woman's ever said that
to me before, or that you know I'm normal. You're joking.
I wish I were. I'm not acquainted with many women,
or hardly any in fact, on the personal level. Gosh,
I hope you don't mind chatting like this tool.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
I spend a lot of time here taking care of
the baby.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
I'm cute, little fellow. I know what he wants you do? Well,
look up that tree branch. Above your head. There's an
apple on it, and the baby sees that. Really, Oh,
I'm sure of it.
Speaker 10 (22:34):
Could you go, I'm sure the cutest little feller.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Look, I'm I don't want you to think I'm a
masher or anything. I'm certainly not a masher. But I
wonder if you'd mind answer me a question that depends
well what I mean? Is I mean looking at me?
Would you say, at least upon a perfunctory cursory, very
first surveilled, would I pear to be abnormal in any way?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Not at all? Oh, thank you, unless you plan to
use that in the park.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Oh that you know. Up to a few hours ago,
I sold those things new fangled vacuum cleaners, or at
least I went through the motions. I was miserably bad
as a salesman, just miserable. Would you believe it? Last
week I made exactly eighty nine cents in commission, and
that was for an attachment, an upholstery nozzle, and I
(23:31):
sold it to a drunk who kept consisting it was
a divining rod for alcohol.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Is that where you stopped?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Well, there were other factors. I expected to be fired
today anyway, But you know that's the least of my worries. Now,
a few minutes ago people were chasing me. Why, well,
that's just it, because they thought I was abnormal. Now
I asked you, would you be interested in hearing the
source of my worries? Go ahead?
Speaker 10 (24:01):
That apple?
Speaker 6 (24:02):
For instance?
Speaker 3 (24:03):
The baby wants it, but you can't reach it, can you?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
No?
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Not even if you put the baby down and stood
up on the bench. I couldn't put the baby down precisely.
But what if I were to give you a hand?
Speaker 8 (24:15):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
I most see this bench weighs I'd say one hundred
hundred and fifty pounds, and you're no more than one
ten till one fifteen?
Speaker 8 (24:23):
Well, one twenty five?
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Well, what if I were to stand, reach down, pick
up the bench by one of its legs, and lift
it straight up into the air like this?
Speaker 12 (24:34):
Please?
Speaker 8 (24:35):
What's a shine?
Speaker 3 (24:36):
So that you could reach the apple and you wouldn't
even have to disturb the baby? Go on, reach over
and take it. And then I put the bench down
with you and the baby on it, right back down
on the ground as there? Would you say, that's abnormal?
Speaker 5 (24:55):
How did you could you do that?
Speaker 10 (25:00):
Again?
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Oh? I'm not sure?
Speaker 10 (25:03):
I got my camera with me.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
I sure would like to get a shot of that.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
Is it a magic trick like in Las Vegas? Are
you a magician or what?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
No, it's just something that I've discovered I can do
very recently. As a matter of fact, Is he get.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
The baby hung out?
Speaker 10 (25:19):
Let me just get the camera set up?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
But the young lady is gone. Now there's no plane
in lifting the bench with no one on a is there?
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Do something else?
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Or like what?
Speaker 10 (25:27):
Anything?
Speaker 3 (25:28):
I don't know?
Speaker 5 (25:30):
At least let me take your picture? It stand right
there by that big rock here?
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Oh well, I suppose one picture, wouldn't Tony harm? Shall
I take my hat off? Of course? Then the sun
would be in my eyes? Want I have to spoint?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Well?
Speaker 10 (25:41):
Can you show me your muscles or something?
Speaker 12 (25:43):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (25:43):
I'm sorry, I don't believe I have any muscles to speak?
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Yeah, right, say jeez?
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Wait, now the rock is in the way. Perhaps if
you stand there a few feature your left.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
And then the sun will be right in the lens.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Oh and in that case, I've better move the rock.
May I hold on one second?
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Who shot you lifted it? Just like that? It must
weigh a.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Ton there, young man?
Speaker 8 (26:06):
Is that better?
Speaker 3 (26:07):
I suppose you can stand my picture now if you insist.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Are you sure this is my good side?
Speaker 10 (26:13):
Couple more?
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Oh right, wait till my editor sets this.
Speaker 8 (26:28):
Right.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
For the love of Mike, did you see this?
Speaker 13 (26:36):
What do you got to callahan?
Speaker 5 (26:38):
It's Dingle on the front page of the Daily Bulleted.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Let me see that, Hercules.
Speaker 12 (26:44):
No, it's Luther Dingle, twentieth century Samson, good gravy.
Speaker 10 (26:48):
There's his picture picking up a giant rock. You mean
this is odd Dingle? None other but the looks of it.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
And this is where I spend my noons when I'm
not working.
Speaker 10 (27:01):
Of course, Dingle my old pat.
Speaker 5 (27:04):

spinoff after several guests spots, of course, I'm just not sure.

is the world's strongest man?
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Well, I know, mister d Would you give.
Speaker 18 (29:03):

Speaker 3 (29:07):
Well, i'd be happy to. Mister O'Toole, Is it all right?
You know the thing we discussed? Well, are you kidding?
Speaker 10 (29:14):
I had done this much business as well? I don't
know when be my guest Dingle.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Well, yes, I'll start off with something simple and you'll
see this wall solid plaster supported I believe by wooden studs.
I'll make a small X with my finger here and.
Speaker 10 (29:33):
You saw it.
Speaker 18 (29:34):
Mister Dingle has just pushed a hole through a solid
wall with.
Speaker 8 (29:38):
His bare fist.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Now from a second demonstration. Oh dude, let me see
you go. Have you've heard of corate? I suppose I
could simply just line up the edge of my hand
with the surface of this table my open hand, mind you,
and with the single blow.
Speaker 19 (30:00):
That's amazing.
Speaker 18 (30:01):
Would you call it mind over matter, mister Dingle?
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Oh no, I call an example of matter over matter.
It doesn't matter what's on my mind, even if it's
nothing at all.
Speaker 12 (30:11):
Okay, Dangle, you just don't go breaking all my tables
in a half?
Speaker 5 (30:14):
Okay, hey, better sit down, buddy, have yourself a drink.
Hey you want my seat?
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Not yet? I feel fine, splendid. These barstools are bolted down,
aren't they. If let's say I wanted to move one
a few inches seat that he.
Speaker 10 (30:33):
Ripped it right off the floor and he didn't even
break a sweat.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
What a guy?
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Go on, take my stool if you want?
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Stand up?
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Sure?
Speaker 10 (30:42):
Why if you please? Why are you looking at me
like that?
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (30:47):
No, wait a minute, Dingle. Ain't you ever heard of
bygones being bygones? Put me down?
Speaker 18 (30:54):
I see it, but I don't believe it. Ladies and gentlemen,
The man at the bar is.
Speaker 19 (30:58):
One hundred and sixty or seventy.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Dingle is lifting him like a rag doll, swirling up
over his head with one hand.
Speaker 10 (31:14):
From there.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Now, that doesn't hurt too much, get it?
Speaker 19 (31:18):
Pal?
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Your good is new, well almost? Can I give you
a hand up? Pal Mister Dingle, you're my hero.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
He can do anything well?
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Better not dad the bite with.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
That metal.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
Pad enough, most inferior. We give him the strength of
three hundred men, and he uses it for petty exhibitions.
What shall we do about it? Give him twenty or
thirty seconds more and then remove the power.
Speaker 16 (31:49):
Excellent. Then I think we'd best be off. Three more
planets on the itinerary. What is particularly interesting contains only females.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
Set the ray for cancelations.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Check no, ladies and gentlemen. For my next feat, I
think lift this entire building, well, at least the ceiling
and hence all the floors above it. Step aside everyone.
Speaker 18 (32:22):
I don't know if we have a clear shot of this,
but he's standing on his tiptoes extending his fingers to
the ceiling.
Speaker 8 (32:30):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Uh huh. Let me try that again. I can't seem
to something's wrong. No, I just felt strange there for
a second. Let me try another bar stool. Remember they're
bolted to the floor. One finger, no, maybe two fingers.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
He's up bag?
Speaker 6 (32:55):
Whyere's this?
Speaker 18 (32:57):
What's the matter, mister Dingle?
Speaker 10 (33:00):
The wall?
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Then I'll put you to the hole right about here.
Speaker 18 (33:05):
Well, apparently we've all been the victims of a Charlotte cut.
Speaker 19 (33:10):
Are we still alive?
Speaker 10 (33:11):
Come on, let's get out of here.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Just come God looking to get his picture in the paper?
All right, leave off with port Dingle here, get out
of here. Hey, come on, Dingle, sit on, I'll get
you some my ippos. Knuckles.
Speaker 18 (33:25):
Ladies and gentlemen, you have the station's apologies. We didn't
realize that these were merely stage illusions.
Speaker 7 (33:33):
And okay, we're off the air. That's a wrap off.
Speaker 19 (33:36):
The air for good.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
I think.
Speaker 19 (33:38):
Let's go so long, Samson, time to go?
Speaker 6 (33:50):
Yes? Wait, who are they?
Speaker 10 (33:53):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Boys?
Speaker 6 (33:54):
Where are you two from Venus?
Speaker 5 (33:57):
How about you Mars?
Speaker 6 (34:00):
Conducting your own experiments?
Speaker 10 (34:01):
Yes, and you.
Speaker 16 (34:04):
Sudden introduction of strength is subnormb alar. And then as
your experiment.
Speaker 9 (34:08):
Sudden introduction of an enhanced intelligence, find any interesting subjects
That one.
Speaker 6 (34:15):
Over there referred to as Dingle. He is certainly subphysical,
maybe submittle.
Speaker 9 (34:21):
To a likely subject, give him the intelligence quota.
Speaker 10 (34:26):
Ray how much OH.
Speaker 9 (34:29):
Will make him approximately five hundred times more intelligent than
the average human.
Speaker 10 (34:48):
What was hey, Dingle? Who do you like?
Speaker 1 (34:51):
In the double head of tonight?
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Well, in this case, the laws of probability you were
inspersed with the finating laws of chance. So through a
process of calculus and a subdivision of repel based physical
motivating and adivisional annotating. In this case, of course, using
the two X factors is represented by the teams. The
feral scork must of necessity be five to three Milwaukee
and the opener six to nothing Dodgers in the nightcap.
Speaker 5 (35:11):
Yeah, what did he say?
Speaker 10 (35:12):
Search me? Callahan, Let's have another drink.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
It's on the house. It is apparently on an advanced
mathematical plan that the entire quantum theory of space and
time relatively must of.
Speaker 16 (35:22):
Necessity be aquainted with the Paraelion law definitive the americal
dialect to.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Drink exit Mister Luther Dingle, former vacuum cleaner, salesman, strongest
man on Earth, and now mental giant. These latter powers
(35:47):
will very likely be eliminated before too long. But mister
Dingle has an appeal to extraterrestrial note takers as well
as two frustrated and insult and pet loosers. Off hand,
I'd say that he in for a great many extremely
odd periods, simply because there are so many inhabited planets
to send down observers, and also because, of course, mister
(36:10):
Dingle lives his life with one foot planted firmly in
the twilight Zone.
Speaker 13 (36:35):
We'll return to the Twilight Zone after these words.
