Speaker 1 (00:12):
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known
to man. It is a dimension as vast as space
and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground
between light and shadow, between science and superstition. It lies
between the pit of man's fears and the summit of
his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is
(00:35):
an area we call the twilight zone.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Where is he?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
You should start anyway? Pass me the coffee about it?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
How long are we supposed to wait?
Speaker 5 (00:57):
Gentlemen? I call you for a meeting, but I don't
have all day. You try my.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Patience, mister Williams. Yes, sir, I want the figures on
the account. Now, I'll try to reach him again, Sir.
Put me through to Jake Ross's secretary. Yes, I'll hold Williams.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
We're still waiting for your mister Ross.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I'm trying to get him now, Sir. Is this Jake's office? Jony?
Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm fine, Star Williams. I know
he's out to lunch, but there was a conference called
for two o'clock and it's two thirty. Yes, mister Morel's office,
where is he? All right? Then?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Check?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Tell him to get his keyster back here fast.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Well, where is your protegee with a multimillion dollar automobile account?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
She's says, she's calling around the usual places. Sordy's east
to Colin. Don't be an idiot. He's due any moments, sir.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
Probably stuck at a big client lunch or something more
likely a big martini or three or four. Mister Minreel,
I assure he was too young to put on this account.
I told you that Williams much too young for so
large and important an account.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
See I dow it. Here's Jake.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Now, Williams give me that we have been here now
for thirty four minutes. Mister Williams, this.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Is This is a note from Jake Ross.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Would you be so kind as to share it's contents
with us?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I can tell you the sense of it very quickly,
mister Minreel. It's Jake's resignation. He's he's moving to another agency,
and and he's the automobile account with him.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
That account represented a gross billing of millions of dollars
a year.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
And how many times have you promised it to me?
This is as much a shock to me as it
is to you. Mister Israel.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Don't con me it was your pet project yours, and
it was your idea to give it to that little
college greedy get what the program, Williams, Get with it, boy,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
So what's left?
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Not only has your pet project backfired when it sprouted
wings and left the premises, I'll tell you what's left
for us in my view, a deep and a barding
concern about your judgment.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Please, this is a push business, Williams.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
A push push business, push and drive, but personally hands on.
You don't delegate responsibilities to little boys.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I don't feel well.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
You should know that better than anyone else.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Oh, I have to leave now.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
It's a push, push, push all the.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Way, all the time, right down the line.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Sel me, you don't walk so high?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
What's the matter with him? Why don't you just shut him?
Mouf fat boy?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
And who precisely are you addressing?
Speaker 7 (04:14):
Who do you think you ugly bloated, self important old
I'll clean it up, mister misruel.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
He didn't mean that, sir.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I closed two new accounts.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
If I may.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Excuse me, Please excuse me all of you.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
This is gart Williams, age thirty eight. A man protected
by a suit of armor, all held together by one bolt.
Just a moment ago, someone removed the bolt and mister
Williams protection fell away and left him a naked target.
He's been cannonated this after, known by all the enemies
of his life. His insecurity has showed him, his sensitivity
(05:05):
has straddled him with humiliation. His deep rooted disquiet about
his own worth has zeroed in on him, landed on target,
and blown him apart. Mister Guard Williams ad agency exec who,
in just a moment will undertake a desperate search for
survival in the Twilight Zone.
Speaker 8 (05:33):
And now the Twilight Zone and our story a stop
at Willoughby starring Chelsea Ross with Stacy Keach as your narrator.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Oh hi, mister Williams, you have some messages. I put
them on your desk.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Thank you, Helen. Are you okay? Boss? Just let me
sit down for a minute.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
You don't look so good.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
The ulcers acting up again. Oh no, don't worry about it.
I'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
You should take it easy. I can get you some lunch. No, thanks, sure,
something play?
Speaker 3 (06:08):
I think i'll go home early today.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Oh good, idea? Well can I get you anything first? Yeah,
anything at all?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
A sharp razor and a chart of the Human anatomy
showing where all the arteries are.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Tickets please ticket?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Oh right here?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
How are you tonight, mister Williams. In the absolute pink
cold winter, this year seems to get darker earlier than
it ever has.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
That's the way of the world. The rich get richer
and the days get shorter.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Isn't that the truth? Here's your ticket? Enjoy the ride.
Tickets please.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
It's a business, Williams.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Business.
Speaker 9 (07:01):
You got.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Some business course course course.
Speaker 9 (07:10):
Where that's enough?
Speaker 10 (07:14):
Is anything wrong?
Speaker 3 (07:15):
What?
Speaker 11 (07:16):
What?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Oh? Oh? No, no, no, I was just thinking out loud.
Speaker 10 (07:24):
I guess I was afraid you were speaking to me,
not at all.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Sorry.
Speaker 10 (07:30):
It is a boring commute, isn't it. It's easy to
doze off.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yes, yes, it is all.
Speaker 10 (07:37):
That darkness outside. You can barely see the landscape.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
To tell the truth, I never paid much attention to it,
but now that you mention it.
Speaker 10 (07:47):
I used to read, but I got motion sickness. So
now there's nothing to do but wait for the next
station and the one after that. And I don't even
know where we are at the moment.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
I can't see any lights. What's the next I've lost track?
Speaker 10 (08:02):
That's funny, it is lost track track. At least we're
not off the.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Track, not yet anyway, give it time.
Speaker 10 (08:11):
I suppose we could be anywhere.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Wait do you hear that here? What what's happening? Miss?
Speaker 12 (08:36):
Where are you Willoughby?
Speaker 9 (08:39):
This stop is Willoughby?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
What do you mean Willoughby? Where's Willoughby?
Speaker 9 (08:44):
That's Willoughby right outside.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
There's no place called Willoughby on this line. I've taken
this train hundreds of times. Where's the woman I was
talking to a minute ago?
Speaker 9 (08:53):
Woman said? This car's empty?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
And the light why is it so bright outside?
Speaker 9 (08:59):
Well, why wouldn't it be? Sun's out?
Speaker 3 (09:01):
The sun.
Speaker 13 (09:02):
It's summer, that's what she is, mid July, and a
real warm one too.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
No, it's not, it's November. What is going on? Why
are you dressed that way? That ridiculous old hat? The uniform?
Where's the regular conductor?
Speaker 9 (09:15):
Willoughby? Five minutes? Stop?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Wait? What is this place? Already told you Willoughby, But
that's impossible.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
Take a look for yourself.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
But those clothes horses? What is this a practical joke?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Now?
Speaker 9 (09:33):
Sir?
Speaker 13 (09:34):
It's Willoughby, July eighteen eighty eight. Nice, please, don't you think?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
And there's the woman I was talking to Where did
she get that parasol?
Speaker 13 (09:44):
You'd have to ask her getting off?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Well, this isn't my stock. Miss you there?
Speaker 10 (09:51):
Why Hello, mister Williams, good day to you.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Hold on? Can you tell me?
Speaker 9 (09:55):
Shall I open the door?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
No?
Speaker 13 (09:57):
I want to take a look around sometime peaceful, RESTful
where a man can slow down to a walk and
live his life full measure. If you're not getting off,
he'd best take a seat.
Speaker 12 (10:10):
Yep, right on, scheduled, All aboud, mister port.
Speaker 9 (10:49):
Side of Tom.
Speaker 10 (10:50):
Pardon me, sir?
Speaker 3 (10:52):
But oh what did you say?
Speaker 10 (10:55):
I didn't mean to bother you, but I didn't want
you to miss your stop? Is this it?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
No? No, that's all right. You got back on?
Speaker 10 (11:04):
I did?
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Oh, I must have dozed off again.
Speaker 10 (11:11):
I don't blame you. At least he got a little rest.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I guess I did a little rest and idiotic dream.
Speaker 10 (11:18):
Why do you say that?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Ever hear of a town named Willoughby, I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Will it be ware.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Willoughby, Connecticut, I guess, or Willoughby, New York?
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Not on this run? Are you sure there's no Willoughby
on this line? Westport Sugatah, Next step?
Speaker 14 (11:47):
Hello, gard Jane I didn't hear you come home.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
That's all right. I figured you'd notice center or later.
Speaker 14 (11:55):
Oh why see? So that's how it's going to be.
If you say, so, what are your plans this evening?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Do you care?
Speaker 14 (12:04):
So you're going to get quietly plastered and sing the
old college songs?
Speaker 3 (12:09):
No, no, no songs. I'm all sung out.
Speaker 14 (12:14):
Then you're just going to get drunk while I sit
here and watch.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
You can join in if you like.
Speaker 14 (12:20):
No thanks, I don't have anything to celebrate.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Neither do I. It was just one of those days.
Speaker 14 (12:27):
I guess it was.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
How would you know?
Speaker 14 (12:30):
Bob Blair's wife phoned. She said he'd been in a
meeting with you. You got hysterical or something. She called
to find out how you were.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
They were all very solicitous, all the boys at the meeting,
the kind of free flowing compassion that spells relief for
everybody because it means I'm the victim, not them.
Speaker 14 (12:50):
That's a big word with you, isn't it. Victim?
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Pour me another drink, will you, Jane?
Speaker 14 (12:55):
Would you spare me your little homilies for once and
just give me a simple, honest answer. Did you throw
away your job this afternoon? Did you wreck your entire career,
it appears not.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Mister Misrael phoned before I left the office, and he
has found it in that giant, oversized heart of his
to forgive me, forgive you for what? What's the difference?
That gracious, somewhat obese gentleman will allow me to continue
in his employees simply because he's such a human typefella,
real people person. And one small additional reason, if I
(13:32):
were to go to a competitive agency, I might take
a lot of business with me. Go on, that's it,
That's all of it. I'm tired, Janey, I'm tired, and
I'm sick.
Speaker 14 (13:45):
Then you're in the right ward. We specialize in people
who are sick and tired, Garth. I'm sick and tired
of a husband who lives in a permanent state of
self pity, a husband with a bleeding heart sensitivity he
unfurled like a flag whenever he decides the competition is
too rough for him.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Some people aren't built for competition, Janey. Or big pretentious
houses they can't afford like this one, or rich communities
they don't feel comfortable in.
Speaker 14 (14:13):
Comfortable. Let me get this straight. You're not comfortable here.
That's the one thing.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Country club memberships that they wear like a badge of status.
Speaker 14 (14:22):
And you would prefer I would.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Prefer if anyone cares a job, any job at all,
where I could be myself.
Speaker 14 (14:29):
And who's that now?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Where I wouldn't have to climb on a stage and
go through a masquerade every morning at nine and mouth
all the dialogue and play the executive and make believe
I'm the bright young man on his way up, because
I'm not that person. Janey, You've tried to make me
that person. But it isn't me.
Speaker 14 (14:45):
You're right, it isn't It isn't me at all.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
And I'm not very young. I'm a soon to be old,
very uncompetitive, rather dull, quite uninspired, average type of guy
with a wife, has an appetite that won't quit.
Speaker 14 (15:01):
And where would you be if it weren't for my appetite?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
I know where I'd like to be.
Speaker 14 (15:06):
And where is that?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
A place called Willoughby, little town I chartered inside my head,
a place I manufactured in a dream, an odd dream,
very odd dream. Willoughby. It was summer, very warm, The
kids were barefoot. One of them carried a fishing pole. Oh,
(15:29):
and the main street looked like a courier in ives,
painting bandstand, old fashioned stores, bicycles. I've never seen such
such serenity. It was the way people must have lived
a hundred years ago. Crazy dream gart You should have
seen it, Janey, this Willoughby. It wasn't just a place
(15:52):
or a time. It was like a doorway that leads
to sanity, a sound proof world where all the noise,
the shouts and the cries can't get through.
Speaker 14 (16:03):
Nothing serious, Guard, It's just that you are born too late,
and your taste is a little cheap. You're the kind
of man who could be satisfied with a summer afternoon
and an ice wagon pulled by a horse. My mistake,
my error, my miserable, tragic error, to marry a man
(16:24):
whose big dream in life is to be Huckleberry thin.
That's what you want, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Something like that? The place a time where a man
can live is full measure.
Speaker 14 (16:37):
And what does that mean?
Speaker 3 (16:39):
I don't know that I'd like to find out. It's
what that conductor said, A place where a man can
live is full measure. That's where I'd like to be. Yes,
(17:08):
mister Williams, Yes, Helen.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
You've got a two o'clock, A two thirty and a
two forty five?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
So I was wondering should I cancel the two thirty
or the other one? What the two forty five?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Which?
Speaker 11 (17:22):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Oh, the two thirty is the man from the baby
food company. He's got an idea for an ad campaign. Remember,
And the one after that is about the frozen fish account.
Uh huh, tough call.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Huh No, well, I mean it is no. I mean
I I was just wondering which one to cancel? Not that.
What would happen? Do you suppose if I weren't here
when for the meeting? Either one take your pick me
or both?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
You want me to cancel both meetings?
Speaker 3 (17:50):
It's a hypothetical question, Helen.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Oh, but you are here, of.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Course I am. But what if what if one fine
day I just wasn't.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Well, I guess they'd have to wait around till you
got back.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
And if I didn't come back.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Then they'd reschedule.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
And if I never came back, never ever, not in
a hundred.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Years, well in that case, somebody else would get the account.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Is that all that would happen?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
And I'd miss you?
Speaker 3 (18:19):
We would, we all would, even Mirael.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Well he can be a bear sometimes, but he'd get
over it.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
He'd probably be relieved, and you would too. Somebody who
really cares, I mean really cares about his accounts and
keeping all his appointments, And after a while it would
be like I'd never been here at all.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Oh, mister Williams, isn't that true? Mister Williams? Have I
let you down in some way? Are you unhappy with
my work?
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Of course not. You're the brightest face in the building, honest,
the only one I really look forward to seeing every day.
You do know that, don't you?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Then?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Why are you talking about my working for someone else?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Not you? Helen me?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I see who do you want to work for besides
mister Misrael?
Speaker 13 (19:04):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I don't know. Uh, how about nobody?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
You mean, go out on your own, start your own company.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Maybe eventually if it felt like it. Maybe not freelance?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
That can be pretty tricky, can't it? In New York?
Speaker 14 (19:17):
It's none of my business, But go ahead say it.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Well? Could you afford to do that?
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Not around here, that's for sure. Do we have any
courier knives?
Speaker 2 (19:30):
You mean tea bags?
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Oh? No, No, I mean the engravers Nineteenth century illustrations
have you seen any books like that on this floor?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
No, I sure haven't. I can call the bookstore.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
How about Norman Rockwell.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Maybe in the art department they have a reference library.
Speaker 14 (19:44):
I'll check.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Oh, there's no hurry. I was just thinking about a
boy with a fishing.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Pole for the Frozen Fish account.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
I don't think it was a rock Well. I don't
think it was any illustration I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
What did it look like?
Speaker 3 (19:58):
The real thing, the one those painters were working from
in the first place. He looked like the real deal,
you know, the original model.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yes, sir, it's almost two. So should I tell them
you're not back from lunch yet? Who the two o'clock
and the two thirty?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
No, no, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
You have their files somewhere. I brought them in.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I'm sure you did.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
But if you haven't had time to look at them yet,
maybe I should tell them to reschedule.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
That would be a lie.
Speaker 10 (20:30):
Not exactly.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I can say you were at a long lunch.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
No more lies, Helen, not in this office. I don't
have the stomach for it.
Speaker 10 (20:45):
Hello again, it's you.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Please have a seat.
Speaker 10 (20:51):
You look like you caught up on your sleep. Feeling better.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Oh, tolerable and you no complaints.
Speaker 10 (20:57):
It is a bit of a grind, though, isn't it.
He's long commute.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Actually, I only take this train for the scenery. Some view.
Speaker 10 (21:05):
The scenic groot if you like. Miles and miles of
pitch black fields. You can't even see the towns. So
there's nothing much to do but grin and Barrett.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
It's an opportunity. It is for conversation.
Speaker 10 (21:19):
Do you know I've never spoken to another soul on
this train. They're also wrapped up in their own melodramas.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Misery loves company, so we might as well be miserable
together while we're sitting here. Has to be more interesting
that way.
Speaker 10 (21:36):
Did you ever hear what? It's silly? But did you
ever want to get off at a stop where you've
never been before? Just to see what it would be like?
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Which stop are you thinking of?
Speaker 15 (21:49):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (21:49):
I don't know, it doesn't matter. Pick one and see
what happens.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Mm, Well, you'd be on your own, nobody waiting, no car.
Speaker 10 (21:57):
I wouldn't mind. There's nobody waiting for me anyway?
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Would you not anymore?
Speaker 10 (22:03):
Forgive me? Did I say something wrong?
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Oh? It's just a This is going to sound strange.
Speaker 10 (22:11):
I didn't mean to get personally.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
I think we're having the same dream, what, sharing the
same fantasy in a way. Remember the last trip, when
I dozed off, we spoke and I asked you about
the next stop.
Speaker 10 (22:25):
I was afraid you'd miss your station.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
You see, I dreamed we came to a station I'd
never seen before. You got off, as if you lived there.
I saw you outside, walking around in the dark. It
was a bright summer day.
Speaker 10 (22:37):
Nice. What was I wearing something stylish?
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I hope an old fashioned long dress I don't know
about that. And a parasol, the kind with those those
little fluffs of the material around the edges. Really what
color white? I think everything was old fashioned. I could
hear a band playing, and the sun was up as
high as it gets. It was the July.
Speaker 10 (23:01):
I'm beginning to like this dream. And did you get
off the train so we could have an adventure?
Speaker 3 (23:06):
That's the problem. I wanted to, but I didn't.
Speaker 10 (23:10):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I wish I knew Willoughby? What did you say?
Speaker 16 (23:16):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Last week you asked me about a town called Willoughby,
mister Williams.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Oh, yes, I looked it up.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
No such place, as far as I could see.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
You're sure every old timetable.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
I could find nothing with that name, not even close.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Thanks. Anyway, where did you hear about it? Oh? I
must have dreamed it probably did.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Old fashioned name.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Sounds nice, though it does. Doesn't it nice place to visit?
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Maybe? Don't know if I'd like to live there? You
never know. No, you don't take it easy now, mister Williams.
Next stop, Stamford, Stanford? Next stop?
Speaker 10 (23:57):
Is that the name of it? Willoughby?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
It was?
Speaker 16 (24:01):
You know?
Speaker 10 (24:02):
It seems familiar. They used to have different names these towns,
a long time ago. It could be read about it
in a book, could be we both did.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I don't have much time to read.
Speaker 10 (24:13):
It's almost as if I'm remembering something.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Don't tell me you believe in past lives. That's nonsense.
Speaker 10 (24:20):
No, it's not that. But the name does sound familiar,
and I do like the sound of it.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
I do too.
Speaker 16 (24:29):
Willoughby, Willoughby, Willoughby.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
What did you say?
Speaker 9 (24:45):
Next stop? Willowby?
Speaker 3 (24:48):
The woman who was sitting there, women, sir, in that seat?
Where is she?
Speaker 9 (24:52):
No other affairs in this car? Said?
Speaker 3 (24:54):
But it was only a minute ago.
Speaker 9 (24:56):
Good day? Tell you day out for Whinneby.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
It is day.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Getting out? Sir?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Quick? What year is this?
Speaker 9 (25:14):
Why? Eighteen eighty eight?
Speaker 15 (25:16):
Sir?
Speaker 9 (25:17):
What else would it be?
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I don't know. I've been away for a while.
Speaker 9 (25:21):
Have you lost track?
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Yes, in a sense. How long is the stop at
the station.
Speaker 13 (25:27):
Long enough to drop off and pick up? You have
a ticket for Winnoughby? No, then you'd best take your seat.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
Though.
Speaker 13 (25:34):
It is a fine, balmy day, a place where a
man can live his life full measure.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Yes, hello there, Hi, you did it? You got off?
Speaker 10 (25:46):
Of course, this is where I live. Such a lovely afternoon,
and I do believe I'll take a walk in the
park with some of my friends. You're quite welcome to
join us if you like.
Speaker 9 (25:55):
All aboard?
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Wait the train started, movie, goody Williams. If I could
jump to the platform.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Oh no, don't do that.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
I can make it too. I can make it, don't.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
It wouldn't be safe.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Another time, Yes, another time. We'll make a day of it.
(26:32):
All these people full.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Car, mister Williams, always is this time of day. There's
your seat right over there.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
The woman I was talking to, I'm not sure that
she's not here now.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Oh, maybe she went to the club car or got
off where no stop so far.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
She got off at Willoughby.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
You on that kick again. I told you there's no
such time.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
I know that's what you said.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Sounds like a nice place, though, the real nice place tickets.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Next time, next time, I swear I'm going to do it,
no matter what I'm going to get off it. Will
it be? Yes, Ellen, it's the big man.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I'm lying one should I tell.
Speaker 17 (27:35):
Him to call him right back?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Don't bother. I'll take it, mister Morael, morning, sir.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
I wanted to remind you, Williams. Who we need here
is an ad with pizzas real entertainment. You gotta take
the audience by the ears and give them a yank.
Speaker 15 (27:49):
Rock them and sock them, give them the old push
push push.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
My thoughts exactly, met.
Speaker 15 (27:55):
Williams, bright with patter, hitness and the whole thing. Push, push,
push push. That's what the client wants.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
I'm working on it tomorrow morning.
Speaker 9 (28:05):
I'll need at least a preliminary storyboard. You know what.
Speaker 15 (28:08):
I want a solid format with some pops for the product,
leading up to one big pop at the finish, and
not just any pop, this time, light color explosions.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
I see it as a field artillery attack.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
We show the.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Audience with mortar fire, lay down.
Speaker 15 (28:25):
Some tactical air support, and establish a beachhead in their
cerebral cortex.
Speaker 9 (28:29):
Then we send in ground troops and occupy the territory.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
There, What do you say to that.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
I'll do what I can do, more than you can
with me.
Speaker 15 (28:37):
Williams Aspire, drink big and then get behind here dreams
big time, push push.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Well, I haven't seen the ratings on the show. No, no, no,
but it was the time slot the sponsor wanted. Hold
on a second, will you? Yes? They were what no?
Speaker 14 (29:00):
Wait wait, Helen, Yes.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
What film now Fit did the commercials on the Bradbury account?
The negatives are all scratched. They're screaming bloody murder at me.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I'll send a fact. Oh and mister miss Reel would
like to see you in his office.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I'm gonna have to check it out for you.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Okay, mister miss Rell Sir? He got disconnected.
Speaker 17 (29:17):
He seemed rather insistent.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Are you all right?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
You look so pale?
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Oh I'd like to be I'd like to be alone now,
not the ulcer again. Please just go.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I'll be right outside if you need me.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Janie, this is gard honey, stay there, will you. Things
are going to be different from now and you'll see.
I just want you to stay there. I'm coming home.
Janie Jane, please listen. I've had it. Understand. I can't
go on for another day, another hour. This is it.
(30:10):
I've got to get out of here. Jane Jane, help me.
Will you please please help me? Janie Jane. Another Scotch,
(30:34):
mister Williams, no, thank you. Pretty empty in here today.
Well that's because it's too early. Most people don't hit
the club card. It'll after work, wait till the commuter run.
They'll line up like kids in a candy store. I
bet they do.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
You going home early today, mister Williams.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Yeah, yeah. My wife's waiting for me.
Speaker 9 (30:54):
Oh she is.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Huh. That's nice, at least I think she is. You
call her and tell her that I did. I just
hope she got the message. Oh I bet she did.
Gonna take her out for dinner and everything. If she's there,
Well she's not. You can just kick back and watch
the game, have the place yourself. You win either way,
(31:16):
that's right. I'm the winner, not the loser. That's the
way to look at it. Let me ask you something
you know that woman? Which one? She rides the train
the same time I do, except to day because I'm
running ahead. Huh. What does she look like? Well, she
wears an old fashioned long dress and she carries a
(31:37):
parasol in here. Oh no, no, I'm sorry, not in here.
That's not what she wears on the train. Only in Willoughby. Willoughby,
where's that? That's just it. I don't know, I'll forget
about it. I don't know what I'm talking about. I
just thought she might have come in here just till
(31:58):
she gets to her stock. And not many in here today,
So I see.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
You, okay, mister Williams.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Hey one top drawer, see you next time? Sure thing?
If there is the next time. Oh, changing schedules. I
might take some time off. Good deal. Vacation Huh that's right,
a vacation A long one.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Ticket. Hey you're early, mister Williams. What decided to call
it a day?
Speaker 17 (32:36):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Yes, yes you could say that. Well, enjoy the trip, oh,
a conductor?
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Something else?
Speaker 3 (32:45):
You wouldn't happen to have a light? Would you?
Speaker 4 (32:47):
You want a cigarette? The matches in the club car
no worse than a drink? I guess if that's your poison.
But you can't light up here. You have to wait
till we stop at a platform.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Of course, I was just wondering if you could bend
the rules this time. It's been quite a day. I
need to unwind before I get home.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
I used to smoke two packs a day. Had to
give it up though doctor's orders. Right said it was
cutting years off my life, So I decided to stick around.
You want to do that, don't you?
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. That's why
I'm going home. There you are, Then I have another
question for you. Yeah, that woman, the one I talk to?
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Which woman is a Now?
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Have you seen her in the other cars?
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Can't say as I have.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Would you take a look.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
If I see her, I'll let you know.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Some people didn't go to work though. Cold day.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Yeah, yeah, maybe that's it.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Be colder tonight, that's what they say. Looks like snow.
You keep warm.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Now I'll try.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
Heck stop Stanford, Stanford h.
Speaker 9 (34:12):
Willowy.

Speaker 3 (34:16):

Speaker 9 (34:40):
Good day to you, then, yes it is.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
It really is a beautiful day.
Speaker 9 (34:50):
All aboard.
Speaker 17 (35:00):
Hi, mister Williams.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Hi, we're going fishing. I can see that. Catch some
big ones today.
Speaker 17 (35:16):
Huh, the biggest you ever saw.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
I want to come maybe.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Some other time. It's pretty hot today.
Speaker 14 (35:22):
Yeah, we're gonna get a sunburn.
Speaker 17 (35:24):
Then go swimming.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
That'll be fun.
Speaker 14 (35:26):
Come on, we got an extra pole and there's plenty
of fish.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
I'll bet there are. Bye boys, catch one from me. Okay, sure,
such a lovely day too.
Speaker 14 (35:45):
Nice to stay indoors.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
Yes, I love the sound, so do I beautiful?
Speaker 10 (35:52):
Did you say something?
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Not?
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Really? It's you?
Speaker 10 (35:58):
Hello, Oh, it is you. I'm glad you decided.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
To join us.
Speaker 10 (36:02):
I was on my way down to the park where.
Oh that's right, you just got here. Come with me.
It's not far. I'll introduce you to all my friends,
just as I promised. Then they'll be your friends too.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
I'd like that. I feel as if they already are.
Speaker 10 (36:20):
Then later, perhaps we'll take a stroll by the lake.
It's truly splendid with the moon and the stars, and.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
I like it here right now with you. The trees.
Speaker 10 (36:31):
The stores, the shops are my weakness. I must confess.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
You've got some wonderful antiques here, antiques. That beautiful grandfather
clock in the window, for example, a classic. Wonder how
much they're asking.
Speaker 10 (36:45):
It's quite reasonable, I'm sure, even though it's new.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
But it can't be Come along now, we'll be late
again again. It's no use, there's no pulse. It's a
(37:10):
crying shame. He wasn't very open, you say. He just
jumped off the train right here.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
In the snow, in the middle of nowhere. Never saw
anything like it, poor mister Williams. He shouted something, ran out,
opened the door, and that's the last I saw of him.
So he went to have a smoke or something.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
I have a heart attack probably, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:34):
If the fall didn't get him now he must have
died instantly. Then at least he didn't suffer. Look at
his face like he's at peace.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
Yeah, that's the way to look.
Speaker 14 (37:46):
At it, old Twitter.
Speaker 15 (37:51):
Let's bump it out.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Where should we take the body?
Speaker 11 (37:55):
Now?
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Have the local mortuary for now, Willoughby's funeral Parliament.
Speaker 8 (37:58):
That's the one they'll hold until somebody contacts the family.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
All right, let's put him on a stretcher. Okay, you ready, one, two.
Speaker 17 (38:06):
Three lifts.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Mister Guard Williams, who withstood the slings and arrows that
come with life in the fast Lane for as long
as he could bear them, and eventually sought respite for
his torment and the only place left open to him
under the gravestone, who climbed onto a world that went
too fast for him and then finally jumped off. Mister
Gard Williams, who might now tell us what really awaits
(38:42):
us in the Great Beyond, because this too is very
much a part of the Twilight Zone.

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known
to man. It is a dimension as vast as space
and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground
between light and shadow, between science and superstition. It lies
between the pit of man's fears and the summit of
his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is
(00:35):
an area we call the twilight zone.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Where is he?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
You should start anyway? Pass me the coffee about it?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
How long are we supposed to wait?
Speaker 5 (00:57):
Gentlemen? I call you for a meeting, but I don't
have all day. You try my.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Patience, mister Williams. Yes, sir, I want the figures on
the account. Now, I'll try to reach him again, Sir.
Put me through to Jake Ross's secretary. Yes, I'll hold Williams.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
We're still waiting for your mister Ross.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I'm trying to get him now, Sir. Is this Jake's office? Jony?
Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm fine, Star Williams. I know
he's out to lunch, but there was a conference called
for two o'clock and it's two thirty. Yes, mister Morel's office,
where is he? All right? Then?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Check?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Tell him to get his keyster back here fast.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Well, where is your protegee with a multimillion dollar automobile account?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
She's says, she's calling around the usual places. Sordy's east
to Colin. Don't be an idiot. He's due any moments, sir.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
Probably stuck at a big client lunch or something more
likely a big martini or three or four. Mister Minreel,
I assure he was too young to put on this account.
I told you that Williams much too young for so
large and important an account.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
See I dow it. Here's Jake.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Now, Williams give me that we have been here now
for thirty four minutes. Mister Williams, this.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Is This is a note from Jake Ross.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Would you be so kind as to share it's contents
with us?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I can tell you the sense of it very quickly,
mister Minreel. It's Jake's resignation. He's he's moving to another agency,
and and he's the automobile account with him.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
That account represented a gross billing of millions of dollars
a year.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
And how many times have you promised it to me?
This is as much a shock to me as it
is to you. Mister Israel.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Don't con me it was your pet project yours, and
it was your idea to give it to that little
college greedy get what the program, Williams, Get with it, boy,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
So what's left?
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Not only has your pet project backfired when it sprouted
wings and left the premises, I'll tell you what's left
for us in my view, a deep and a barding
concern about your judgment.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Please, this is a push business, Williams.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
A push push business, push and drive, but personally hands on.
You don't delegate responsibilities to little boys.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I don't feel well.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
You should know that better than anyone else.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Oh, I have to leave now.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
It's a push, push, push all the.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Way, all the time, right down the line.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Sel me, you don't walk so high?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
What's the matter with him? Why don't you just shut him?
Mouf fat boy?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
And who precisely are you addressing?
Speaker 7 (04:14):
Who do you think you ugly bloated, self important old
I'll clean it up, mister misruel.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
He didn't mean that, sir.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I closed two new accounts.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
If I may.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Excuse me, Please excuse me all of you.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
This is gart Williams, age thirty eight. A man protected
by a suit of armor, all held together by one bolt.
Just a moment ago, someone removed the bolt and mister
Williams protection fell away and left him a naked target.
He's been cannonated this after, known by all the enemies
of his life. His insecurity has showed him, his sensitivity
(05:05):
has straddled him with humiliation. His deep rooted disquiet about
his own worth has zeroed in on him, landed on target,
and blown him apart. Mister Guard Williams ad agency exec who,
in just a moment will undertake a desperate search for
survival in the Twilight Zone.
Speaker 8 (05:33):
And now the Twilight Zone and our story a stop
at Willoughby starring Chelsea Ross with Stacy Keach as your narrator.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Oh hi, mister Williams, you have some messages. I put
them on your desk.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Thank you, Helen. Are you okay? Boss? Just let me
sit down for a minute.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
You don't look so good.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
The ulcers acting up again. Oh no, don't worry about it.
I'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
You should take it easy. I can get you some lunch. No, thanks, sure,
something play?
Speaker 3 (06:08):
I think i'll go home early today.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Oh good, idea? Well can I get you anything first? Yeah,
anything at all?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
A sharp razor and a chart of the Human anatomy
showing where all the arteries are.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Tickets please ticket?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Oh right here?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
How are you tonight, mister Williams. In the absolute pink
cold winter, this year seems to get darker earlier than
it ever has.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
That's the way of the world. The rich get richer
and the days get shorter.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Isn't that the truth? Here's your ticket? Enjoy the ride.
Tickets please.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
It's a business, Williams.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Business.
Speaker 9 (07:01):
You got.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Some business course course course.
Speaker 9 (07:10):
Where that's enough?
Speaker 10 (07:14):
Is anything wrong?
Speaker 3 (07:15):
What?
Speaker 11 (07:16):
What?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Oh? Oh? No, no, no, I was just thinking out loud.
Speaker 10 (07:24):
I guess I was afraid you were speaking to me,
not at all.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Sorry.
Speaker 10 (07:30):
It is a boring commute, isn't it. It's easy to
doze off.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yes, yes, it is all.
Speaker 10 (07:37):
That darkness outside. You can barely see the landscape.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
To tell the truth, I never paid much attention to it,
but now that you mention it.
Speaker 10 (07:47):
I used to read, but I got motion sickness. So
now there's nothing to do but wait for the next
station and the one after that. And I don't even
know where we are at the moment.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
I can't see any lights. What's the next I've lost track?
Speaker 10 (08:02):
That's funny, it is lost track track. At least we're
not off the.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Track, not yet anyway, give it time.
Speaker 10 (08:11):
I suppose we could be anywhere.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Wait do you hear that here? What what's happening? Miss?
Speaker 12 (08:36):
Where are you Willoughby?
Speaker 9 (08:39):
This stop is Willoughby?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
What do you mean Willoughby? Where's Willoughby?
Speaker 9 (08:44):
That's Willoughby right outside.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
There's no place called Willoughby on this line. I've taken
this train hundreds of times. Where's the woman I was
talking to a minute ago?
Speaker 9 (08:53):
Woman said? This car's empty?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
And the light why is it so bright outside?
Speaker 9 (08:59):
Well, why wouldn't it be? Sun's out?
Speaker 3 (09:01):
The sun.
Speaker 13 (09:02):
It's summer, that's what she is, mid July, and a
real warm one too.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
No, it's not, it's November. What is going on? Why
are you dressed that way? That ridiculous old hat? The uniform?
Where's the regular conductor?
Speaker 9 (09:15):
Willoughby? Five minutes? Stop?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Wait? What is this place? Already told you Willoughby, But
that's impossible.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
Take a look for yourself.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
But those clothes horses? What is this a practical joke?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Now?
Speaker 9 (09:33):
Sir?
Speaker 13 (09:34):
It's Willoughby, July eighteen eighty eight. Nice, please, don't you think?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
And there's the woman I was talking to Where did
she get that parasol?
Speaker 13 (09:44):
You'd have to ask her getting off?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Well, this isn't my stock. Miss you there?
Speaker 10 (09:51):
Why Hello, mister Williams, good day to you.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Hold on? Can you tell me?
Speaker 9 (09:55):
Shall I open the door?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
No?
Speaker 13 (09:57):
I want to take a look around sometime peaceful, RESTful
where a man can slow down to a walk and
live his life full measure. If you're not getting off,
he'd best take a seat.
Speaker 12 (10:10):
Yep, right on, scheduled, All aboud, mister port.
Speaker 9 (10:49):
Side of Tom.
Speaker 10 (10:50):
Pardon me, sir?
Speaker 3 (10:52):
But oh what did you say?
Speaker 10 (10:55):
I didn't mean to bother you, but I didn't want
you to miss your stop? Is this it?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
No? No, that's all right. You got back on?
Speaker 10 (11:04):
I did?
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Oh, I must have dozed off again.
Speaker 10 (11:11):
I don't blame you. At least he got a little rest.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I guess I did a little rest and idiotic dream.
Speaker 10 (11:18):
Why do you say that?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Ever hear of a town named Willoughby, I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Will it be ware.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Willoughby, Connecticut, I guess, or Willoughby, New York?
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Not on this run? Are you sure there's no Willoughby
on this line? Westport Sugatah, Next step?
Speaker 14 (11:47):
Hello, gard Jane I didn't hear you come home.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
That's all right. I figured you'd notice center or later.
Speaker 14 (11:55):
Oh why see? So that's how it's going to be.
If you say, so, what are your plans this evening?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Do you care?
Speaker 14 (12:04):
So you're going to get quietly plastered and sing the
old college songs?
Speaker 3 (12:09):
No, no, no songs. I'm all sung out.
Speaker 14 (12:14):
Then you're just going to get drunk while I sit
here and watch.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
You can join in if you like.
Speaker 14 (12:20):
No thanks, I don't have anything to celebrate.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Neither do I. It was just one of those days.
Speaker 14 (12:27):
I guess it was.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
How would you know?
Speaker 14 (12:30):
Bob Blair's wife phoned. She said he'd been in a
meeting with you. You got hysterical or something. She called
to find out how you were.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
They were all very solicitous, all the boys at the meeting,
the kind of free flowing compassion that spells relief for
everybody because it means I'm the victim, not them.
Speaker 14 (12:50):
That's a big word with you, isn't it. Victim?
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Pour me another drink, will you, Jane?
Speaker 14 (12:55):
Would you spare me your little homilies for once and
just give me a simple, honest answer. Did you throw
away your job this afternoon? Did you wreck your entire career,
it appears not.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Mister Misrael phoned before I left the office, and he
has found it in that giant, oversized heart of his
to forgive me, forgive you for what? What's the difference?
That gracious, somewhat obese gentleman will allow me to continue
in his employees simply because he's such a human typefella,
real people person. And one small additional reason, if I
(13:32):
were to go to a competitive agency, I might take
a lot of business with me. Go on, that's it,
That's all of it. I'm tired, Janey, I'm tired, and
I'm sick.
Speaker 14 (13:45):
Then you're in the right ward. We specialize in people
who are sick and tired, Garth. I'm sick and tired
of a husband who lives in a permanent state of
self pity, a husband with a bleeding heart sensitivity he
unfurled like a flag whenever he decides the competition is
too rough for him.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Some people aren't built for competition, Janey. Or big pretentious
houses they can't afford like this one, or rich communities
they don't feel comfortable in.
Speaker 14 (14:13):
Comfortable. Let me get this straight. You're not comfortable here.
That's the one thing.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Country club memberships that they wear like a badge of status.
Speaker 14 (14:22):
And you would prefer I would.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Prefer if anyone cares a job, any job at all,
where I could be myself.
Speaker 14 (14:29):
And who's that now?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Where I wouldn't have to climb on a stage and
go through a masquerade every morning at nine and mouth
all the dialogue and play the executive and make believe
I'm the bright young man on his way up, because
I'm not that person. Janey, You've tried to make me
that person. But it isn't me.
Speaker 14 (14:45):
You're right, it isn't It isn't me at all.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
And I'm not very young. I'm a soon to be old,
very uncompetitive, rather dull, quite uninspired, average type of guy
with a wife, has an appetite that won't quit.
Speaker 14 (15:01):
And where would you be if it weren't for my appetite?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
I know where I'd like to be.
Speaker 14 (15:06):
And where is that?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
A place called Willoughby, little town I chartered inside my head,
a place I manufactured in a dream, an odd dream,
very odd dream. Willoughby. It was summer, very warm, The
kids were barefoot. One of them carried a fishing pole. Oh,
(15:29):
and the main street looked like a courier in ives,
painting bandstand, old fashioned stores, bicycles. I've never seen such
such serenity. It was the way people must have lived
a hundred years ago. Crazy dream gart You should have
seen it, Janey, this Willoughby. It wasn't just a place
(15:52):
or a time. It was like a doorway that leads
to sanity, a sound proof world where all the noise,
the shouts and the cries can't get through.
Speaker 14 (16:03):
Nothing serious, Guard, It's just that you are born too late,
and your taste is a little cheap. You're the kind
of man who could be satisfied with a summer afternoon
and an ice wagon pulled by a horse. My mistake,
my error, my miserable, tragic error, to marry a man
(16:24):
whose big dream in life is to be Huckleberry thin.
That's what you want, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Something like that? The place a time where a man
can live is full measure.
Speaker 14 (16:37):
And what does that mean?
Speaker 3 (16:39):
I don't know that I'd like to find out. It's
what that conductor said, A place where a man can
live is full measure. That's where I'd like to be. Yes,
(17:08):
mister Williams, Yes, Helen.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
You've got a two o'clock, A two thirty and a
two forty five?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
So I was wondering should I cancel the two thirty
or the other one? What the two forty five?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Which?
Speaker 11 (17:22):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Oh, the two thirty is the man from the baby
food company. He's got an idea for an ad campaign. Remember,
And the one after that is about the frozen fish account.
Uh huh, tough call.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Huh No, well, I mean it is no. I mean
I I was just wondering which one to cancel? Not that.
What would happen? Do you suppose if I weren't here
when for the meeting? Either one take your pick me
or both?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
You want me to cancel both meetings?
Speaker 3 (17:50):
It's a hypothetical question, Helen.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Oh, but you are here, of.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Course I am. But what if what if one fine
day I just wasn't.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Well, I guess they'd have to wait around till you
got back.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
And if I didn't come back.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Then they'd reschedule.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
And if I never came back, never ever, not in
a hundred.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Years, well in that case, somebody else would get the account.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Is that all that would happen?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
And I'd miss you?
Speaker 3 (18:19):
We would, we all would, even Mirael.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Well he can be a bear sometimes, but he'd get
over it.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
He'd probably be relieved, and you would too. Somebody who
really cares, I mean really cares about his accounts and
keeping all his appointments, And after a while it would
be like I'd never been here at all.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Oh, mister Williams, isn't that true? Mister Williams? Have I
let you down in some way? Are you unhappy with
my work?
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Of course not. You're the brightest face in the building, honest,
the only one I really look forward to seeing every day.
You do know that, don't you?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Then?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Why are you talking about my working for someone else?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Not you? Helen me?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I see who do you want to work for besides
mister Misrael?
Speaker 13 (19:04):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I don't know. Uh, how about nobody?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
You mean, go out on your own, start your own company.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Maybe eventually if it felt like it. Maybe not freelance?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
That can be pretty tricky, can't it? In New York?
Speaker 14 (19:17):
It's none of my business, But go ahead say it.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Well? Could you afford to do that?
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Not around here, that's for sure. Do we have any
courier knives?
Speaker 2 (19:30):
You mean tea bags?
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Oh? No, No, I mean the engravers Nineteenth century illustrations
have you seen any books like that on this floor?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
No, I sure haven't. I can call the bookstore.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
How about Norman Rockwell.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Maybe in the art department they have a reference library.
Speaker 14 (19:44):
I'll check.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Oh, there's no hurry. I was just thinking about a
boy with a fishing.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Pole for the Frozen Fish account.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
I don't think it was a rock Well. I don't
think it was any illustration I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
What did it look like?
Speaker 3 (19:58):
The real thing, the one those painters were working from
in the first place. He looked like the real deal,
you know, the original model.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yes, sir, it's almost two. So should I tell them
you're not back from lunch yet? Who the two o'clock
and the two thirty?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
No, no, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
You have their files somewhere. I brought them in.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I'm sure you did.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
But if you haven't had time to look at them yet,
maybe I should tell them to reschedule.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
That would be a lie.
Speaker 10 (20:30):
Not exactly.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I can say you were at a long lunch.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
No more lies, Helen, not in this office. I don't
have the stomach for it.
Speaker 10 (20:45):
Hello again, it's you.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Please have a seat.
Speaker 10 (20:51):
You look like you caught up on your sleep. Feeling better.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Oh, tolerable and you no complaints.
Speaker 10 (20:57):
It is a bit of a grind, though, isn't it.
He's long commute.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Actually, I only take this train for the scenery. Some view.
Speaker 10 (21:05):
The scenic groot if you like. Miles and miles of
pitch black fields. You can't even see the towns. So
there's nothing much to do but grin and Barrett.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
It's an opportunity. It is for conversation.
Speaker 10 (21:19):
Do you know I've never spoken to another soul on
this train. They're also wrapped up in their own melodramas.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Misery loves company, so we might as well be miserable
together while we're sitting here. Has to be more interesting
that way.
Speaker 10 (21:36):
Did you ever hear what? It's silly? But did you
ever want to get off at a stop where you've
never been before? Just to see what it would be like?
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Which stop are you thinking of?
Speaker 15 (21:49):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (21:49):
I don't know, it doesn't matter. Pick one and see
what happens.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Mm, Well, you'd be on your own, nobody waiting, no car.
Speaker 10 (21:57):
I wouldn't mind. There's nobody waiting for me anyway?
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Would you not anymore?
Speaker 10 (22:03):
Forgive me? Did I say something wrong?
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Oh? It's just a This is going to sound strange.
Speaker 10 (22:11):
I didn't mean to get personally.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
I think we're having the same dream, what, sharing the
same fantasy in a way. Remember the last trip, when
I dozed off, we spoke and I asked you about
the next stop.
Speaker 10 (22:25):
I was afraid you'd miss your station.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
You see, I dreamed we came to a station I'd
never seen before. You got off, as if you lived there.
I saw you outside, walking around in the dark. It
was a bright summer day.
Speaker 10 (22:37):
Nice. What was I wearing something stylish?
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I hope an old fashioned long dress I don't know
about that. And a parasol, the kind with those those
little fluffs of the material around the edges. Really what
color white? I think everything was old fashioned. I could
hear a band playing, and the sun was up as
high as it gets. It was the July.
Speaker 10 (23:01):
I'm beginning to like this dream. And did you get
off the train so we could have an adventure?
Speaker 3 (23:06):
That's the problem. I wanted to, but I didn't.
Speaker 10 (23:10):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I wish I knew Willoughby? What did you say?
Speaker 16 (23:16):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Last week you asked me about a town called Willoughby,
mister Williams.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Oh, yes, I looked it up.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
No such place, as far as I could see.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
You're sure every old timetable.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
I could find nothing with that name, not even close.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Thanks. Anyway, where did you hear about it? Oh? I
must have dreamed it probably did.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Old fashioned name.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Sounds nice, though it does. Doesn't it nice place to visit?
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Maybe? Don't know if I'd like to live there? You
never know. No, you don't take it easy now, mister Williams.
Next stop, Stamford, Stanford? Next stop?
Speaker 10 (23:57):
Is that the name of it? Willoughby?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
It was?
Speaker 16 (24:01):
You know?
Speaker 10 (24:02):
It seems familiar. They used to have different names these towns,
a long time ago. It could be read about it
in a book, could be we both did.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I don't have much time to read.
Speaker 10 (24:13):
It's almost as if I'm remembering something.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Don't tell me you believe in past lives. That's nonsense.
Speaker 10 (24:20):
No, it's not that. But the name does sound familiar,
and I do like the sound of it.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
I do too.
Speaker 16 (24:29):
Willoughby, Willoughby, Willoughby.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
What did you say?
Speaker 9 (24:45):
Next stop? Willowby?
Speaker 3 (24:48):
The woman who was sitting there, women, sir, in that seat?
Where is she?
Speaker 9 (24:52):
No other affairs in this car? Said?
Speaker 3 (24:54):
But it was only a minute ago.
Speaker 9 (24:56):
Good day? Tell you day out for Whinneby.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
It is day.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Getting out? Sir?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Quick? What year is this?
Speaker 9 (25:14):
Why? Eighteen eighty eight?
Speaker 15 (25:16):
Sir?
Speaker 9 (25:17):
What else would it be?
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I don't know. I've been away for a while.
Speaker 9 (25:21):
Have you lost track?
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Yes, in a sense. How long is the stop at
the station.
Speaker 13 (25:27):
Long enough to drop off and pick up? You have
a ticket for Winnoughby? No, then you'd best take your seat.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
Though.
Speaker 13 (25:34):
It is a fine, balmy day, a place where a
man can live his life full measure.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Yes, hello there, Hi, you did it? You got off?
Speaker 10 (25:46):
Of course, this is where I live. Such a lovely afternoon,
and I do believe I'll take a walk in the
park with some of my friends. You're quite welcome to
join us if you like.
Speaker 9 (25:55):
All aboard?
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Wait the train started, movie, goody Williams. If I could
jump to the platform.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Oh no, don't do that.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
I can make it too. I can make it, don't.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
It wouldn't be safe.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Another time, Yes, another time. We'll make a day of it.
(26:32):
All these people full.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Car, mister Williams, always is this time of day. There's
your seat right over there.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
The woman I was talking to, I'm not sure that
she's not here now.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Oh, maybe she went to the club car or got
off where no stop so far.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
She got off at Willoughby.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
You on that kick again. I told you there's no
such time.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
I know that's what you said.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Sounds like a nice place, though, the real nice place tickets.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Next time, next time, I swear I'm going to do it,
no matter what I'm going to get off it. Will
it be? Yes, Ellen, it's the big man.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I'm lying one should I tell.
Speaker 17 (27:35):
Him to call him right back?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Don't bother. I'll take it, mister Morael, morning, sir.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
I wanted to remind you, Williams. Who we need here
is an ad with pizzas real entertainment. You gotta take
the audience by the ears and give them a yank.
Speaker 15 (27:49):
Rock them and sock them, give them the old push
push push.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
My thoughts exactly, met.
Speaker 15 (27:55):
Williams, bright with patter, hitness and the whole thing. Push, push,
push push. That's what the client wants.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
I'm working on it tomorrow morning.
Speaker 9 (28:05):
I'll need at least a preliminary storyboard. You know what.
Speaker 15 (28:08):
I want a solid format with some pops for the product,
leading up to one big pop at the finish, and
not just any pop, this time, light color explosions.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
I see it as a field artillery attack.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
We show the.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Audience with mortar fire, lay down.
Speaker 15 (28:25):
Some tactical air support, and establish a beachhead in their
cerebral cortex.
Speaker 9 (28:29):
Then we send in ground troops and occupy the territory.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
There, What do you say to that.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
I'll do what I can do, more than you can
with me.
Speaker 15 (28:37):
Williams Aspire, drink big and then get behind here dreams
big time, push push.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Well, I haven't seen the ratings on the show. No, no, no,
but it was the time slot the sponsor wanted. Hold
on a second, will you? Yes? They were what no?
Speaker 14 (29:00):
Wait wait, Helen, Yes.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
What film now Fit did the commercials on the Bradbury account?
The negatives are all scratched. They're screaming bloody murder at me.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I'll send a fact. Oh and mister miss Reel would
like to see you in his office.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I'm gonna have to check it out for you.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Okay, mister miss Rell Sir? He got disconnected.
Speaker 17 (29:17):
He seemed rather insistent.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Are you all right?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
You look so pale?
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Oh I'd like to be I'd like to be alone now,
not the ulcer again. Please just go.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I'll be right outside if you need me.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Janie, this is gard honey, stay there, will you. Things
are going to be different from now and you'll see.
I just want you to stay there. I'm coming home.
Janie Jane, please listen. I've had it. Understand. I can't
go on for another day, another hour. This is it.
(30:10):
I've got to get out of here. Jane Jane, help me.
Will you please please help me? Janie Jane. Another Scotch,
(30:34):
mister Williams, no, thank you. Pretty empty in here today.
Well that's because it's too early. Most people don't hit
the club card. It'll after work, wait till the commuter run.
They'll line up like kids in a candy store. I
bet they do.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
You going home early today, mister Williams.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Yeah, yeah. My wife's waiting for me.
Speaker 9 (30:54):
Oh she is.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Huh. That's nice, at least I think she is. You
call her and tell her that I did. I just
hope she got the message. Oh I bet she did.
Gonna take her out for dinner and everything. If she's there,
Well she's not. You can just kick back and watch
the game, have the place yourself. You win either way,
(31:16):
that's right. I'm the winner, not the loser. That's the
way to look at it. Let me ask you something
you know that woman? Which one? She rides the train
the same time I do, except to day because I'm
running ahead. Huh. What does she look like? Well, she
wears an old fashioned long dress and she carries a
(31:37):
parasol in here. Oh no, no, I'm sorry, not in here.
That's not what she wears on the train. Only in Willoughby. Willoughby,
where's that? That's just it. I don't know, I'll forget
about it. I don't know what I'm talking about. I
just thought she might have come in here just till
(31:58):
she gets to her stock. And not many in here today,
So I see.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
You, okay, mister Williams.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Hey one top drawer, see you next time? Sure thing?
If there is the next time. Oh, changing schedules. I
might take some time off. Good deal. Vacation Huh that's right,
a vacation A long one.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Ticket. Hey you're early, mister Williams. What decided to call
it a day?
Speaker 17 (32:36):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Yes, yes you could say that. Well, enjoy the trip, oh,
a conductor?
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Something else?
Speaker 3 (32:45):
You wouldn't happen to have a light? Would you?
Speaker 4 (32:47):
You want a cigarette? The matches in the club car
no worse than a drink? I guess if that's your poison.
But you can't light up here. You have to wait
till we stop at a platform.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Of course, I was just wondering if you could bend
the rules this time. It's been quite a day. I
need to unwind before I get home.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
I used to smoke two packs a day. Had to
give it up though doctor's orders. Right said it was
cutting years off my life, So I decided to stick around.
You want to do that, don't you?
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. That's why
I'm going home. There you are, Then I have another
question for you. Yeah, that woman, the one I talk to?
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Which woman is a Now?
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Have you seen her in the other cars?
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Can't say as I have.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Would you take a look.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
If I see her, I'll let you know.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Some people didn't go to work though. Cold day.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Yeah, yeah, maybe that's it.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Be colder tonight, that's what they say. Looks like snow.
You keep warm.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Now I'll try.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
Heck stop Stanford, Stanford h.
Speaker 9 (34:12):
Willowy.
Speaker 13 (34:12):
Next stop, Next stop, Willoughby.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
This is where I get off.
Speaker 13 (34:18):
Stop the train, Yes, sir, that's your station, Willoughby.
Speaker 9 (34:35):
Need a hand with your baggage?
Speaker 3 (34:37):
I don't have any nothing at all, not a thing.
Speaker 9 (34:40):
Good day to you, then, yes it is.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
It really is a beautiful day.
Speaker 9 (34:50):
All aboard.
Speaker 17 (35:00):
Hi, mister Williams.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Hi, we're going fishing. I can see that. Catch some
big ones today.
Speaker 17 (35:16):
Huh, the biggest you ever saw.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
I want to come maybe.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Some other time. It's pretty hot today.
Speaker 14 (35:22):
Yeah, we're gonna get a sunburn.
Speaker 17 (35:24):
Then go swimming.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
That'll be fun.
Speaker 14 (35:26):
Come on, we got an extra pole and there's plenty
of fish.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
I'll bet there are. Bye boys, catch one from me. Okay, sure,
such a lovely day too.
Speaker 14 (35:45):
Nice to stay indoors.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
Yes, I love the sound, so do I beautiful?
Speaker 10 (35:52):
Did you say something?
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Not?
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Really? It's you?
Speaker 10 (35:58):
Hello, Oh, it is you. I'm glad you decided.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
To join us.
Speaker 10 (36:02):
I was on my way down to the park where.
Oh that's right, you just got here. Come with me.
It's not far. I'll introduce you to all my friends,
just as I promised. Then they'll be your friends too.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
I'd like that. I feel as if they already are.
Speaker 10 (36:20):
Then later, perhaps we'll take a stroll by the lake.
It's truly splendid with the moon and the stars, and.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
I like it here right now with you. The trees.
Speaker 10 (36:31):
The stores, the shops are my weakness. I must confess.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
You've got some wonderful antiques here, antiques. That beautiful grandfather
clock in the window, for example, a classic. Wonder how
much they're asking.
Speaker 10 (36:45):
It's quite reasonable, I'm sure, even though it's new.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
But it can't be Come along now, we'll be late
again again. It's no use, there's no pulse. It's a
(37:10):
crying shame. He wasn't very open, you say. He just
jumped off the train right here.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
In the snow, in the middle of nowhere. Never saw
anything like it, poor mister Williams. He shouted something, ran out,
opened the door, and that's the last I saw of him.
So he went to have a smoke or something.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
I have a heart attack probably, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:34):
If the fall didn't get him now he must have
died instantly. Then at least he didn't suffer. Look at
his face like he's at peace.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
Yeah, that's the way to look.
Speaker 14 (37:46):
At it, old Twitter.
Speaker 15 (37:51):
Let's bump it out.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Where should we take the body?
Speaker 11 (37:55):
Now?
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Have the local mortuary for now, Willoughby's funeral Parliament.
Speaker 8 (37:58):
That's the one they'll hold until somebody contacts the family.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
All right, let's put him on a stretcher. Okay, you ready, one, two.
Speaker 17 (38:06):
Three lifts.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Mister Guard Williams, who withstood the slings and arrows that
come with life in the fast Lane for as long
as he could bear them, and eventually sought respite for
his torment and the only place left open to him
under the gravestone, who climbed onto a world that went
too fast for him and then finally jumped off. Mister
Gard Williams, who might now tell us what really awaits
